“Don’t you think so?” she asked.
She sat up just enough to look into my eyes. I grinned and pulled her in for a kiss, melting into her soft lips. Even with our heads pounding and our stomachs aching, I still felt that familiar surge of need when her lips danced against mine.
“It was more than perfect,” I said softly. Julie grinned and laid her head down on my chest.
I wrapped my arms around her and closed my eyes, letting her presence relax my aching body. The food would arrive soon, but I didn’t care. All I wanted to do was hold Julie and let the rest of the world disappear.
It had been years since I felt so deeply for a woman. After what happened with my ex, I put relationships on the back burner and focused almost entirely on work. I never saw the point of committing to someone again. Then I met Julie, and everything changed.
“I really didn’t expect to have fun last night,” Julie admitted with a laugh.
“What? Why not?”
Julie shrugged. “It was a company party. Business. I just assumed it would be boring.”
“Oh, ye of little faith,” I teased.
“Seriously,” Julie said. “It was amazing. You threw a great party. Everyone had such a great time.”
“Especially me.” I kissed her forehead. “My clients loved you.”
“I don’t know about that,” Julie said.
“I do,” I said. “I’ve never seen half those guys warm up to anyone the way they warmed to you. You even charmed their wives, which is no easy task.”
Julie shrugged again but didn’t get a chance to respond. There was a loud knock on the door, so I gently pushed Julie off my chest and hopped out of bed. Throwing a robe around me, I hurried over and opened the door.
“Room service?” the man said.
“Yes, thank you.” I stood back and let him wheel the cart inside.
I grabbed my wallet off the table and tipped him, smiling and ushering h
im quickly back into the hall. Julie was still in bed, hidden under the covers but naked. I didn’t want him to catch a glimpse of something he shouldn’t. She was all mine.
“Hungry?” I asked, pushing the cart closer to the bed.
Julie laughed. “Yes and no. I feel like I could throw up.”
“You need food,” I said. “We both do.”
Julie nodded and groaned. She sat up just enough that the sheets slid off her breasts. My eyes flew immediately to her bare skin, and I felt my dick twitch. Just one look was enough to remind me of how it felt to be with her last night.
We had collided like animals the night before, but it was the most intensely intimate experience of my life. When I saw her naked breasts, I couldn’t help but want to relive every moment of the previous night.
“I thought you wanted to eat,” Julie said, shooting me a sly grin as she grabbed a muffin off the cart.
“I do,” I said roughly. “Just not breakfast.”
Julie took a bite of the muffin but kept her eyes locked on mine. My skin felt hot as I climbed back on the bed beside her. We were so close that my heart began to pound in my chest. My hangover was forgotten. All I wanted was Julie.
“Are you going to kiss me or not?” she asked softly, putting the muffin back down.
I grinned and moved closer. Our lips were inches apart when my phone rang sharply on the bedside table. I dropped my head to my chest and groaned.
“Not now,” I mumbled.
“Work?” Julie asked.
