CHAPTER 13
Samuel
I watched Kim as she walked towards the bar then she suddenly turned to hurry out of the room. I grabbed my jacket but hestitated.. I wasn’t sure if I should run after her, as my words must have offended her somehow.
Standing there a second or two, I realized there was no chance I’d let her walk out of this building without me.
Rushing out the door after her, I followed her into the lobby and watched her step outside. Maybe giving her a minute would be the best idea and I contemplated what I was going to do next. Apologize that was damn sure, I had clearly overstepped the mark, but the night just got me carried away.
Once the minute was up, I raced outside spotting her sitting on a bench just outside the hotel with her head in her hands. Shit, was she crying? I hoped not. I had already ruined our car ride here, and she wanted to go home after the shop. I had really fucked it now, hadn’t I?
“Kimberly, I’m sorry, I should have kept my mouth shut.”
I stood in front of her, a few steps away to still give her space she needed. She lifted her head up looking at me with her beautiful brown eyes. God, she was breathtaking.
“It’s not you. Sam, if anything you’ve been the perfect gentlemen, it's me.”
Lowering her eyes again, she started to fidget with the fabric of her skirt. I didn’t think twice about kneeling in front of her, taking her hands in mine.
“No, I should know better. You are still healing.”
She sighed and a small smile appeared on her lips as her grip on my hands tightened. Watching as she bit her bottom lip a little, it looked as if she was thinking of something, and I didn’t want to pry. I just wanted to make sure she knew I was sorry and wouldn’t try anything.
“Sam, if I asked you to do something for me, would you?”
She looked back up at me, her eyes a little red and glassy as if she had been crying.
“Anything. What is it?”
My stomach was doing summersaults as I thought about her question and how easy it was for me to answer. I would have done anything for this woman, whatever she asked and whatever the consequences, I would do it.
“Would you…”
She paused, biting her lip again and I wished in that moment I knew what was going through her head.
“Would you kiss me?”
My eyes widened, that wasn’t at all what I was expecting. She had just run off leaving me on the dance floor after I had advanced a little, I thought it was because I had said the wrong thing. Perhaps it was the right thing? Was she still a little drunk? Was I? I wasn’t sure anymore. Usually, fresh air would set me off into a stumbling mess, but I had no idea how Kim would be.
“Are you sure?” I asked, wanting to know if this was really what she wanted.
I would have kissed her instantly if it was any other day, but seeing her after she had been crying, I didn’t want her to think I was doing it out of pity. I wanted our potential first kiss to be perfect. Well, it wouldn’t be our first kiss but our first kiss in a long, long time.
Without a word, she let go of my hands then placed them on my shoulders as she leaned inwards and brushed her lips gently across mine, inviting me.
My heart flipped and I was kissing her back in seconds. Wrapping my one arm around her waist and pulling her up so we could stand, I kept my lips locked on hers. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she pulled me down slightly and stood on her tiptoes. I had forgotten how small she was next to me as I used my free hand to place it on the back of her head, running my fingers in her hair.
Holy shit. I had forgotten how amazing she tasted as her tongue made its way into my mouth and I felt the heat rise on the back of my neck. A small moan escaped her lips as my hand around her waist lowered and palmed her ass.
I wanted at that moment to desperately take her back up to our hotel room and do as many things as I could to keep her making those little sounds. Bring her to the point of desire and lust. I wanted to feel her naked skin against mine as I put my lips between her legs. I would have done anything for her at that moment.
And as soon as I thought about it, she broke the kiss. Looking up at me through her eyelashes, I wanted to pull her in tightly again, carry her upstairs and have my way with her, but she stopped, and therefore I did, too.
“Shall we go upstairs?”
Again, my eyes widened as I was surprised this was even happening. Why was it happening? What had she come out here to think about? I didn’t want to say no, but I had to know what was going on.
“I’m going to kick myself for this,” I said under my breath as I still had my hands on her waist.
