The redhead grinned. “We have dolls.”
“Thanks, but he’ll pass,” Denver said, snatching Ryan’s hand. “I’m sure we can figure it out.”
She’d dragged him behind one of the heavy purple curtains into a more erotic part of the shop before he had a chance to register more than the dry heat of her palm clasping his fingers. She pushed him back into a column, narrowly missing a hanging display of handcuffs and other items used for restraint.
“Is this fun for you?” she asked, pushing his chest once more for good measure. “I tell you we shouldn’t do this again so you flirt with Lo and a freaking lube saleswoman? Have we really descended this far?”
Ryan tipped up her chin with a fingertip. “You’re jealous, Colorado. Positively green-eyed tonight.” He bent to murmur in her ear. “Gotta say I prefer those gorgeous brown eyes I can’t get out of my head.”
“Asshole.” But she didn’t deny his jealousy assertion, just shoved him again for good measure. Halfheartedly.
“For the record, I wasn’t flirting with Lo. She’s my best friend’s girl.”
“I thought I was your best friend.”
“I’m a gregarious guy, what can I say?” When her hands came up one more time, he seized them and brought them to his mouth. “You know West and Michael are important to me.”
“I do. And I’m just being a bitch and I don’t know why. I know you were just playing around with Lo. And just talking to that redhead, though she would’ve demonstrated how those anal beads worked herself if you’d only asked. Guaranteed.” The curl to Denver’s lip was impossibly sexy.
As was knowing she was all twisted up over them and didn’t know what to make of it. There might be hope for them yet.
Maybe. If he played his sex toys right.
“I wouldn’t have. There’s only one woman I want to use anal beads with.”
She rolled her eyes. “That may be the sweetest proposition I’ve ever gotten.”
“Yeah? Then try this on for size.” He nudged her hair away from her ear and licked her lobe. “I want to cuff you to my bed tonight at the hotel. A nice big bed where we can spread out and do everything we can think of to each other.”
Her throat rippled with her swallow. “What room do you have?”
His dick jerked against his zipper. “217. End of the hall.” When she didn’t respond, he wound a few strands of her hair around his fingers and gave them a light tug. “I’ll fill every part of you until you forget anything but how right it was. How right we were.”
“Ry.” She shut her eyes and took a shaky breath, but he didn’t move back. “I don’t want to lose you. I can’t.”
“You’re not going to.” He gripped her chin and thumbed her soft lips apart. “I’m telling you I’m right here. That I’m not going anywhere if you just say the goddamn word. Just one.”
“You’re here for sex. Take that off the table and what?”
“We’re still friends. Just as we were before I saw these, full and beautiful and covered in only moonlight.” He traced his fingertips along the curve of her breast and she shuddered. “Sex is a bonus. An incredible one, but it doesn’t have a thing to do with our friendship. I give you my word.”
“Sex just makes it better.” The hope in her tone killed him in all the best ways.
“Yes.” He cupped her cheek. “So much better.”
Without caring where they were, he lowered his mouth to hers, stopping short of fusing their lips as his stupid phone went off again in his pocket. He took a breath and angled his head, about to try again, but the text alerts just wouldn’t stop. One after another rolled in and Denver narrowed her eyes.
Before he could block her, she reached down to yank his phone out of his pocket. He reached for her, grasping a handful of her shirt before she darted across the narrow room.
“Christ, Den, privacy much?”
But it was too late. She’d already gotten into his phone and was reading the texts. “Seriously?” she demanded, glaring at him. “You wonder why I grab your phone? I suspected you’d be doing this shit again. I didn’t believe that you’d sneak off all the time these past few months then just stop as if it’s no big deal.”
He tried to interject, but she wasn’t through.
“Most of the people who would be texting you are in this building right now, so there’s no fucking reason you—”
The curtain over the doorway swept open and a laughing Jules and Randy ducked inside, arm and arm. And stopped dead, staring back and forth between Ryan and Denver as if they’d interrupted a battle.
