“I like being away from everyone else,” I mutter as I brush my lips down her neck.

“Mmmm,” she moans. “Me too.”

Before our hotel room door has even closed behind us, I spin her back against it. Taking her wrist in my hand, I press it against my already hard cock.

“Cole,” she gasps.

“I need you.”

“God,” she moans as I slip my hand up her shirt, finding her lace-covered breast. “Hold that thought. I’ve got a surprise for you.”

“I don’t need anything right now other than you naked.”

“Trust me. I think you’re going to like it.”

Pressing her palms to my chest, she pushes until I back up.

“I’ll be like, two minutes, tops.”

After dropping her purse on the desk, she rummages in her case before pulling something out and rushing to the bathroom.

My eyes narrow on the door, wondering what she’s up to, but I don’t get to wonder for long because her cell pings once again.

I know I shouldn’t do it, but before I can even attempt to talk myself out of it, my hand is in her purse and my fingers wrap around her cell.

Chapter Nineteen

Hadley

The second I step back into the bedroom, I know something is wrong.

Cole is clutching my cell phone like it's a ticking time bomb.

“Cole?” I frown. “W-what’s wrong?” I ask, because I want to believe he wouldn’t snoop through my messages. I want to believe he trusts me enough to let me tell him my secrets when I’m ready.

But I know...

From the dark cloud hovering over him, I just know he’s seen something.

“He’s been texting you?” His icy tone sends chills through me.

The ground disappears from beneath my feet, and I wrap an arm around my waist to hold myself together. “It’s not what you think.” I inch closer.

“No? So you’re telling me that fucker Timmy hasn’t been sending you messages begging for you to talk to him?” He stands, a menacing shadow looming over me.

His eyes finally flicker to my body, noticing the silky babydoll I’m wearing. It was supposed to be a surprise. I wanted to wear something sexy for him. But he’s staring at me like I’m the devil incarnate... like he hates me.

Oh, Cole.

I let out a weary sigh. “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry. I didn’t want to ruin the weekend.”

A weekend that had, until now, been perfect in every way.

“You’ve been texting him?” His eyes glitter dangerously as he prowls toward me. I stand my ground. Just because things have been good recently, doesn’t mean I don’t know Cole is always one breath away from blowing up. His darkness will always be there, lingering beneath the surface just waiting to break free.

Craning my neck to look into his eyes, I reach out for him. “I haven’t even replied to the last few.”

He snags my hand before it touches his face. “Few? You mean there’s more?” he grits out, his body vibrating with anger.
