“Oh, just a fun video Harley boy’s thinking about showing at the wedding,” Walker murmured, brushing a kiss against my forehead. He raised one hand in farewell, still somehow keeping me perfectly in place.
I soaked up the affection desperately, waving at Harley as well as Walker started back down the hallway. Hmm, he looked a little green around the edges. Maybe he’d already drank too much. “Get some water!” I shouted, but he was already walking away.
Walker chose that moment to lick along my pulse…and I forgot all about Harley.
Once we got out into the humid, night air though, I found my head. “Set me down,” I murmured anxiously. His hands gripped my hips for a second, like he couldn’t bear to let me go…and then he slid me down his body until I was standing on my own.
“How are we getting back to the hotel?” I asked, well aware that I sounded snippy all of a sudden.
But this was all I needed, for someone to see us and snap a picture.
He murmured something about an Uber, but I was still freaking out.
Holy fuck. And I’d just let him dance on me in what was probably a room full of social media savvy women. There were at least thirty women in there. Once they realized who I really was…
Well, you can’t change anything now, I thought to myself…
But also…did I want to? Walker was holding my hand, pulling up the Uber app on his phone.
He was the kind of guy I would have fantasized about once upon a time. Who I would have thought didn’t actually exist.
Ihadbeen fantasizing about him since the moment I’d met him.
The night that we’d met, I’d told him I’d wanted one night.
Would it be so bad to have one perfect weekend now? To give myself a few more memories to keep me warm at night before I went back to my miserable life?
Walker might be worth some pictures, or a gossip article….for one weekend.
That decision made, my shoulders relaxed and I was able to accept his arms when he pulled me against his chest as we waited for the car.
“Good girl,” he murmured, as his embrace made me feel safe for the first time in a long time.
I ignored the way the butterflies soared in my stomach at his words.
Because I knew from experience that those butterflies…they always died.
CHAPTER 14
OLIVIA
The car ride had been quiet, but the underlying tension was thick enough to cut. I gripped the leather seat, trying to keep myself from doing something crazy like jumping him.
Sex in the backseat of an Uber was probably a step too far.
Walker’s fists were clenched in his lap, like he too was having to do everything he could to stay away from me.
I liked that. Desperation like this shouldn’t be experienced alone.
If I was going to ache for him, he’d better ache for me.
Once to the hotel, we both walked quickly to the elevator, me with my head down of course. I was learning though, that there was something about hiding in plain sight. It seemed that when I popped up in a place that no one would expect me to be, it was like I was wearing a disguise.
I could only hope that it kept up.
The elevator doors opened and we got inside, and Walker immediately plastered himself against the wall across from me. I raised an eyebrow as we began to ascend.
“It’s everything I can do to keep myself away from you right now, angel. If you don’t want to be fucked against the wall, than I fucking need to keep myself over here.”
