We weren’t together. So why in the hell did I feel like I’d cheated on her?
“This is all so fucked up,” I whispered again as I put the glass to my mouth and finished the whiskey. Setting the glass on a coffee table, I scrubbed my hand down my face. I needed to leave, but I wasn’t ready to give up the peace and quiet just yet.
I dropped back against the sofa, and a bag in the corner caught my eye. I stood and walked over, and noticed Rose and Kipton’s purses were next to it. When I opened the bag, it was the clothes Kipton had been wearing when we left Montana.
I straightened and looked at the door. Winnie had entered behind me earlier…and what had she said? Something about leaving the change of clothes for Kipton…
Kipton would be coming up to the room. Would she be alone?
I glanced back at the bag and decided it was worth the risk. I grabbed my glass and refilled it, then made my way back to the door, where I turned off the lights to the room. I headed to the sofa, sat down, and waited.
The lock on the door made a noise, indicating someone was coming. I knew the second it opened that it was her. No woman had ever made me feel the way Kipton did when she walked into a room.
And I was fucking tired of tiptoeing around my feelings.
The light turned on—and she turned around and screamed, pushing back against the door.
“Oh my God! Hunter! What in the hell are you doing sitting in the dark?”
My eyes took in that dress, her beautiful body, while I tried to ignore the way my dick instantly went hard. I smiled when our eyes locked.
“I was waiting for you.”
Kipton stood there and stared at me for what felt like an eternity before she finally pushed off the door. “Why are you waiting for me?”
Standing, I finished off the whiskey and set it down. I moved around the table and walked closer. “I saw your bag, so I figured you’d be coming up to change.”
Her brows pulled down into a frown. “So…you decided to wait in the dark?”
“It was more peaceful.”
She looked around the suite. “No one else is here?”
I shook my head, trying to stay focused on her face, but I lost the battle and let my gaze roam over her body again. “You look…stunning in that dress, Kip.”
Her upper teeth dug into her lower lip as she glanced down at herself, then back up at me. I took a step closer, then another. Kipton stepped back until she came to a stop, pressed against the door once again.
“Thank you. But you should know that Jack arranged for me to wear the dress.”
That caused me to pause. “Jack?”
She cleared her throat. “He wanted me to wear something that I might wear if I was in Vegas and going to a club. Morgan designed it. Jack bought it for me.”
I clenched my jaw tightly and fisted my hands. “He bought it for you? Why?”
Kipton looked away and let out a frustrated sigh. “He wanted to see what your reaction would be to me in the dress—especially when you were with all the other women.”
“What?”
She suddenly looked exhausted. “It doesn’t matter. But he totally blindsided me, and I’m tired and I need to change. We have to leave for the airport in less than an hour, and I haven’t eaten anything and…” Her voice trailed off when her eyes met mine.
I took another step closer until I was only inches away from her. My eyes dropped to her chest, where it rose and fell quickly. Fuck if her breasts didn’t look amazing. I was going to have to thank my sister for this outfit.
When I looked back up and our gazes met, I whispered, “I want to kiss you, Kip.”
Her mouth fell open ever so slightly, but she didn’t say anything. Lifting my hand, I wrapped it around her neck as my thumb swept across her silky-smooth cheek. Would the rest of her body feel so soft? I wanted to find out more than anything.
I took another small step closer until our bodies were pressed together. “May I kiss you?”
