Kyleigh said, “Thank you, but I’m more of a chocolate cake girl. I’ll see you both tomorrow.”
As we headed for the door, Shaun said, “Don’t forget everything I told you.”
“I won’t,” I replied. It’s haunting my every thought.
When we got into the limo Kyleigh asked, “What was that about? And please, don’t tell me you were talking business. I can tell from your expression that something is troubling you.”
I didn’t want to lie to her but telling the truth would do more harm than good. “He was just giving me a lecture about treating you right.” In a very roundabout way, that was true.
“Aw, that is sweet. Shaun and Morgan are so nice. Can you believe I was afraid of coming here and staying with them? I’ve been raised to be leery of foreigners. I’m learning that not everyone is out to hurt you. Sometimes, they just care.”
She snuggled up close to me and I wrapped a protective arm around her.
Has anyone hurt you, Kyleigh? Have I hurt you?
I knew the answer. I took something from her that I couldn’t give back. But I hadn’t been thinking about the future at that time. I was just enjoying the moment. I’ll never let myself do that with her again.
I don’t care what my cock wants, from now on, it’s all about what Kyleigh needs.
“I was thinking that maybe we can go out for cake instead of heading to my hotel,” I said.
She looked up at me and said, “Don’t tell me that Shaun scared you off.”
“Hardly,” I said.
“Good, because I’m looking forward to being in your arms again.” She kissed my neck and whispered in my ear, “And not spending the night talking, either.”
Then she placed a hand on the inside of my thigh and inched it up. Fuck! I tried to ignore it, but my cock reacted to her touch.
“Kyleigh, I…”
“Kiss me, Liam,” she demanded.
I knew once our lips made contact, I’d be lost. But refusing her was impossible. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her lightly. But no longer did I need to encourage her to open for me, now her tongue traced my lips, begging me to open to her.
I pulled away and said, “You know you’re making it hard for me to behave.”
Kyleigh grinned. “I was hoping that was the case.”
Looking down into her eyes I said, “We don’t have to make love. We can just hold each other again tonight. I don’t want you to feel pressure to…”
“Liam, is that what you think? That I feel obligated to have sex with you?”
“No. But I want to take this at whatever pace you’re comfortable with,” I said.
“Let me put it this way: skip the cake and let’s go to your hotel.”
I needed to put everything that Shaun had told me out of my mind. The way Kyleigh was looking at me made it a lot easier.
I tapped on the privacy window in the limo and the driver lowered it. “Can you bring us to my hotel please?”
“Yes, Mr. O’Connor.”
The window went back up and she said, “Now, where were we?”
I said, “I think I was about to tell you how much I’ve missed you.”
“And I thought you were about to show me how much you missed me.”
