She nods, covering her face with her palm until her giggles dissipate, then turns to the presenter, giving him a terse nod before hurriedly walking my way. When I begin to rise, she pushes me back down and smiles as she looks back through the conference windows.
“Okay, you’re good now,” she says after a moment, allowing me to stand. I’ve just reached full height when she whispers “shit,” links our fingers, and takes off in a hurried walk, pulling me down the hall and scrambling to get me into a doorway, out of sight.
What is going on here?I feel like I’m a school kid trying to skip class as Lucy peers around the wall and then springs back toward me, crashing her body to mine. I’d laugh at how unreal this felt if she wasn’t standing flush against me, her breasts pressed to my chest, my cock straining against her stomach.Fuck! Don’t think about that. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts. No, wait! Pure thoughts, pure thoughts.
“My boss is heading this way; he’s not going to be happy to find me slacking off with you.”
That’ll do it. The thought of getting Lucy in trouble plagues my mind, and my brows pull together. “Fuck, Lucy, I’m sorry.”
Her eyes find mine, and her lips pull into a smirk. “I’m not, but you need to get me out of here.”
I huff out a quiet laugh before spinning her around and pressing her into the wall this time. She yelps in surprise, and it’s the cutest little sound, but I don’t have time to think about it. Lucy doesn’t need to ask me twice. I’m getting us out of here.
Gripping her hips, I lean ever so slightly toward the corner and peer around. Sure enough, there’s a guy hovering outside the conference room, who I can only assume is her boss. He looks down the hall in the opposite direction, and then his head turns our way.
I dart back in and press my body to Lucy’s, just like she did mine. She bats her eyelids as she gazes up at me with a sassy grin, and I can’t stop myself from pressing a chaste kiss to her nose and mouth before peeking around the corner again. He’s still there.
With time to kill while we wait for him to move on, I link my fingers with Lucy’s and bring her hand up between us.
“You know, I figured out what you do,” I whisper, a cocky grin on my face.
“Oh yeah?” she asks, before sucking her bottom lip into her mouth, making me bite back a groan.Focus, Wes.
“Well, at least, I know it’s something in the field of fitness and health.”
“Close enough then,” she says, biting back another smile and loving the fact that I haven’t quite figured it out.
“How long did you study at college? That might help narrow it down.”
“I’m twenty-four and I just finished. You do the math.”
Twenty-four, huh? I bank that information in my “things I know about Lucy” file and consider her words. Her age doesn’t help because she may not have started right away, and—
Ahem.
A throat clearing cuts off my thoughts—alerting me to the fact that her boss is now closer than he was before—and I freeze. “We’re going to have to run,” I say seriously, peering around the corner again, stealthy Wes in play. Lucy quietly cracks up beside me, and I raise a finger to her lips to silence her, getting a suppressed smile and a nod in return. She’s loving this.
Signaling for Lucy to get ready, I check what her boss is up to one more time and, when the coast is clear, grab her hand and run.Exactly like school kids skipping class.Yes, I’m a thirty-year-old professional football player running through the halls of the resort laughing like a school kid. But run like hell I do. I give it my all.What is this woman doing to me?
Lucy giggles as we make our escape, clenching my hand tighter, following me through the maze of walkways.
I laugh along with her, but it’s slightly forced. This moment has my heart beating out of control. And it has everything to do with Lucy and the blind faith she’s showing me right now. I wanted to earn her trust, I wanted her to be comfortable around me, and in this second, I have no doubt that I’ve succeeded.
Lucy looks over her shoulder as we turn the corner and then stops, her laughter bursting out once more.
“Okay, you’ve broken me free from class, bad boy. What should we do now?”
I freeze. Fuuuck. With her erratic breathing, flushed cheeks, and the quick rise and fall of her chest, my mind has no choice but to go where it shouldn’t.What should we do now? I’ll tell you…. We should go back to my room so I can hide you away from the world and slowly peel your clothes from your body, piece by piece, kissing every inch of your skin, as I—
“Wes? Are you listening?”
Fuck! No.“Yes?”At ease down there. You are not getting lucky tonight.
Lucy raises an eyebrow in question, then giggles again. The sound of it is so light and carefree that I’m almost taken aback. Sure, she’s laughed before, and she was absolutely in hysterics as we escaped her conference, but this…this has a softness to it that feels more real than the rest. Like she’s finally at ease.
She clears her throat, and I realize I’ve been busted lost in thought once again. “Sorry, you wanted to know what we’re doing?”
“Well, yes, but I asked… Never mind.” She shakes her head and holds back a smile. “What’s the plan?”
