“Are you worried about me leaving you on your own?” he asked.
“Nooo.”
That was silly. Right?
“You think I’m clinging to you like this because I don’t want you to leave me?” She tried to make herself sound incredulous.
But it actually made perfect sense.
Crap.
“That’s not what’s happening,” she insisted.
“No?” He set her down and she made herself let go of him.
“No. I’ve been on my own for years. I can stay in a strange hotel room for an hour or so.”
“All right. So, I’ll just leave now.”
For fucks sake.
She let out a disgusted groan as she found herself holding on to him once more. She was an idiot. “I’m so sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about, baby,” he said in the most tender voice she’d ever heard anyone use.
“I keep clinging to you every time you try to leave. I think there’s every reason to be sorry.”
“Talk to me.”
Her groan was louder this time. “I don’t want to talk. I’m tired of talking.”
“What do you want then?”
“To forget about everything for a while.”
He set her down on the bathroom counter, standing between her legs.
Even with her messed up mind right now, she was still aware of how muscular and hot he was.
Gorgeous.
What would it be like to run her fingers along his arms, down his chest . . .
Eek. Stop thinking like that.
Her mind was so muddled right now.
His hand wrapped around the back of her neck, tilting her head back as he stared down at her. “What do you need to feel better?”
“You to stay here.”
“Done.”
“Done? But you can’t say done,” she replied.
“Why not?”
“Because you were going out to get food.”
