We smile at each other for several seconds like dopey kids before I glance down at my wristwatch. “I need to get downstairs. Are you going to be okay getting to your show?”
Payton takes a step back and grabs her stuff. “Yes, it’s just across the street.”
“I’d walk you if you wanted,” I say as I grab my laptop bag and reading glasses off the table.
“I know you would, but it’s not necessary.”
“All right. I’ll meet you back up here this evening. What time does your stuff end today?”
“Five.”
“We’ll get freshened up and head out around six or six-thirty then. I’ll meet you back here,” I say, heading towards the door.
“Wait,” she hollers behind me. “I don’t have a key.”
Reaching into my pocket, I pull out the plastic key card and hand it her. “Take this one. I’ll stop by the front desk and grab another.” As she takes the card from my hand, I can’t help but slide my thumb over the top of her hand. Electricity charges through my blood. She must feel it too because the sexiest little gasp slips from her plump lips and her eyes widen in shock.
I don’t pull her into my arms the way I’d prefer, because if I did, we would never leave the room. Instead, I turn and walk towards the door, smiling a real smile for what feels like forever. I’m having dinner with Payton tonight, and if things go right, she’ll be in my bed. Not because I’m cocky about my moves, but because it’s inevitable. Like an alcoholic to the bottle, I’m drawn to her. She’s the fix I need.
Tonight, she’ll be mine.
