“H-Huh?”
“With your mouth open like that, sweetheart.”
I blink, then rearrange my jaw. I think I’m in a state of shock.
“Do you… own the hotel?” I ask incredulously.
He releases a velvety laugh, shaking his head. Then he closes the gap between us, offering me his hand. Too numb to refuse it, I let him pull me up and guide me to the sheet of glass that frames New York’s skyline. He presses a firm hand into the base of my spine so I’m flush against the cold window. The sudden movement parts the towel wrapped around me, exposing my thighs and hipbones to the city below. From behind, he grabs my wrist, pulls out my stained index finger, and drags it across the glass, cutting the raindrops with a horizontal smear of blood. My heart beats a little faster when he shifts closer, pinning me to the glass with his imposing body.
In what sick, fucked-up brain do I inhabit that this makes my nipples stiffen?
His throat vibrates against the crown of my head when he speaks.
“The hotel? Oh, sweetheart. I own the whole city.”
