“Look at you, all grown up as a successful businesswoman, but you look like you’re all work and no play.”
He smirked, and fuck did it appear sexy on him. Ledger was still devastatingly handsome. If anything, he was better looking. Age definitely agreed with him.
“You think you can read me that well, huh?”
He nodded, but now his grin was from his amusement.
I didn’t want to see the gleam in his eyes. “I can say the same to you.” I turned, walking straight.
He threw my words back at me. “Kept tabs on me?”
I bit back a smile even though he couldn’t see me.
We continued to walk in silence until we arrived at his hotel building. I had no idea how we could go from never speaking to flirty banter and sexual tension, but there we were.
The guard greeted us with a nod, and we entered a private elevator to the penthouse floor. The elevator doors opened to a lavish living space with bay windows all across the back walls of the suite. It overlooked all of downtown New York. Dark, elegant furniture was perfectly placed everywhere, and a grand piano sat in the corner of the room.
He walked toward the bar on the other side of the open space. Without asking, he made me a whiskey sour. My favorite drink. After I grabbed it out of his hand, I made my way over to stand in front of the bay window.
The view was breathtaking.
It was then that I realized this wasn’t a place to sleep.
It was a place to fuck.
“You bring all the girls back here, Ledger? You never struck me as the guy who needed luxury to get pussy.”
He stood beside me with his own drink. “Look at you, using big-girl words, but to answer your question, I had meetings here all day.”
“Oh, I see.” I glanced at the side of his face. “So your plans weren’t to pick up a woman at the bar and bring her back here?”
“I don’t need to be in New York to get pussy.”
“No, that was always your strong suit. I guess some things never change.” I finished off my drink and moved to stand in front of him. “You going to show me the bedroom anytime soon?”
“You think that’s what I want?”
“Why else did you take me up on my offer to bring me back here?”
He didn’t respond. Instead, he finished his drink and placed it next to mine on the table before his gaze connected with my eyes.
“I thought we were playing a game?” I questioned, arching an eyebrow.
“Is that what this is? A game to you?”
“You know, I’m not the kind of girl who just goes into a stranger’s hotel room with them.”
“Sugar, I’ve seen you naked.” He swept the hair away from my cheek, placing it behind my ear. Letting his fingers linger on my skin for a minute. “I’ve seen you at your best and at your worst. That sound like a stranger to you?”
“You don’t know me anymore.”
“I beg to fucking differ.”
Shaking my head, I asked, “What do you want?”
“What I’ve always wanted but couldn’t have.”
“And now?”
