“Just tell me what you want me to load into the truck.”
“The end table,” I say right away, and he stops, studying me.
“Do you really want the end table or is this a dig at me?” he asks suspiciously, one thick black eyebrow arched over his piercing green eye.
“You’ll never know,” I tell him quietly, and he surprises me by laughing as he heads over to grab it.
He carries it downstairs, and I watch him go.
Maybe this trip won’t be so bad after all.

Jensen
“What doyou mean there’s only one room?” Fawn asks, sounding slightly panicked. “How is that even possible?”
“There are two conventions in town this weekend, miss. I’m afraid most hotels in the area will be booked.”
“We’ll take it,” I say when Fawn opens her mouth to argue. She turns to face me, giving me an all-too-familiar glare.
“Perfect. It’s a king room overlooking the city,” the receptionist says as she types on her keyboard.
“I’ll be taking the bed,” Fawn grumbles to me, and I laugh.
“That’s hilarious, shortcake.”
Fawn rolls her eyes, but I can see her trying to hide her smile. Things between us have actually turned kind of… friendly in the last few hours. I don’t know if we’re both just too tired after driving and then loading up the truck or if maybe we’re starting to bury the hatchet.
I certainly didn’t help things by sticking my gigantic foot in my mouth on the way over.Why the hell did I make that joke about her giving up?Maybe I really am the grumpy bastard she thinks I am.
“Here is your room key. You’re on the fourth floor; elevators are just down the hall,” the receptionist says.
I let Fawn grab the key, and I grab our bags and follow her over to the elevator. There’s a crowd of people waiting already, and we just barely manage to climb in. As soon as the doors close, I wish we had caught the next one.
I’m pressed up against Fawn, crowding her back against the wall, and if the blush staining her cheeks is any indication, she can feel my cock hardening between us.
I look down at her, and her blue eyes lock with mine. For one brief moment, it’s like we’re the only two people in the world. Her tongue darts out and licks across her full bottom lip, and I choke down a groan as I stare at her shiny mouth.
The elevator glides to a stop on the second floor, and I reach up, bracing my hands on the wall above her head as people push by me.
“Jensen,” she whispers, and I can swear I hear need in her voice.
All of the emotions, attraction, and lust that I’ve felt for Fawn but always buried is starting to bubble to the surface. I’m not sure I can stop it anymore. I’m not sure Iwantto.
The elevator dings as it reaches the fourth floor, and I blink, coming out of the fog. Fawn ducks under my arm, and I grip the handle of her suitcase tight as I trail after her down the hallway.
I shake my head, trying to remember that Fawn didn’t even want to share a room with me. She’s definitely not going to want to sleep with me.
By the time we’ve reached the room, my erection has mostly disappeared, and I make sure to give her a wide berth as I drag our luggage into the room.
We both stare at the lone bed in the center of the room, neither of us saying a word, and I wonder if she’s thinking about me ravishing her on it as well.
“How about dinner?” she suggests, her tone too bright and her words too rushed.
I know she’s rattled then, and I nod, wanting to ease her tension.
“Sounds good.”
