“You can go back to sleep and get the rest I know you so desperately need baby. I’m sorry I woke you up.”
She chuckled and I imagined her stretching in the center of my king size bed under the thick warm blankets wearing a sexy piece of satin and lace. “It’s only eight pm Mav, it’s hardly out of line for you to have called me. I just took a fantastic bath in your soaker and couldn’t fight the fatigue any longer.”
“Mmh, tell me more about this bath. Or about what color lace you’re wearing all alone in my bed without me.” I flirted, trying to let lust drag the anger from my bones.
“How about I show you instead?” She purred.
“Video chat?” I asked hopefully.
“No.” She laughed, “That would get far too dirty for the energy I have right now, but how about I send you a little something?”
I laid my head back in the chair and relaxed fully. “I’ll settle for that Angel.”
“Okay, then go have a drink and get some much-needed sleep Mav. Don’t stay up and dwell on this. I know how you are.”
“I won’t.” I lied. “I love you Cora darling.”
I heard the smile in her voice. “I love you more.”
A sat in the chair with my phone lying dormant in my lap for a few minutes and then an incoming message lit up the screen and I licked my lips in anticipation.
I opened the message to find a video of Cora standing in the mirror of our walk-in closet with the overhead lights out and just the low light from the sconces over the individual racks on casting a warm glow over her tanned skin. She wore a deep magenta purple tank top and matching shorts with white lace scalloped edges and my body warmed watching as she looked into the phone screen as she slid her hand through the top of her hair, turning her body to show me the way the back of the shorts cut at an angle, accentuating her sexy as hell ass and the fabric pulled across her large chest where her hard nipples showed. The video was on a loop, boomeranging back and forth as she did her little twist at the hips to show me her body while tilting her head sexily and I ached for her.
There was no sound with the video and I had to force myself to not call her back and demand to hear her voice while I stroked my aching cock. She did this to me with only a slight twist of her hips in satin pajamas, when other women had tried to get me hard for years without luck.
She was my soulmate, through and through. And I loved every single thing about her, which was why she could drive me positively crazy from ten states away with a simple four second video.
I love it. I love you. Talk to you tomorrow.
I replied, and then ordered room service and spent the next few hours losing myself in work to distract my body from the ache deep in my bones from missing Cora.
Chapter 18 – Cora
This was stupid.
I was stupid.
I paced back and forth down the long hallway, with an internal war going on in my brain as I tried not to let insecurity get the best of me.
“Just fucking knock.” I whispered to myself and groaned at how stupid I was.
I walked back to the door I’d come all this way to get to and raised my hand pausing with it right above the lacquered surface for a moment and then laid it down hard a few times, rapping on it, jarring the silent air of the deserted hallway.
I listened intently for noises from the other side and fought to tamp down the anxiety as I waited longer and longer.
I had a key, but a part of me was telling me if I used it, I was going to walk in on something I shouldn’t be seeing.
Because that’s the kind of shit that happened to me. That was my type of luck.
But I pulled the sleek black key card from my pocket anyway and shifted my bags in my hands and swiped it across the sensor above the doorknob and pushed the door open.
The suite was dark and silent as I walked in, and I laid my bags on the table in the hallway before walking further in.
Maverick’s suite.
It was a little after one am, and I’d fought with my conscience for a while after I got off the phone with him earlier and couldn’t settle knowing he was upset and aching to be with me while he was stuck here for work.
And the longer I laid there in the center of our bed I knew I had no good reason to not come to Atlanta and be with him.
