Chapter 19
CHAPTER 19
“ A ren’t you cold?” Nick asked through clenched teeth as the asshole standing next to him checked Jamie out instead of the airport’s arrival board like he should be doing.
He sent Jamie’s sexy tattoo another glare. Why the hell was she walking around with her jeans low on her hips and her shirt ending just above her navel like that? She should only be wearing those types of things when he was around, which brought him right back to why he was pissed.
After this morning, he should have grown bored with her, especially after he realized that was all he would ever be able to get from her. Even knowing that there was no chance in hell that he was going to slide into heaven couldn’t stop him from thinking about her. He wanted to touch her and make her come again, but this time while she screamed his name and he sure as hell wanted her to touch him again. It had been the first hand-job he’d received since he was a kid and undoubtedly the best. He’d never come so hard in his life and he knew that if she ever fully took him into her mouth that it would probably kill him.
“No,” Jamie said, not bothering to look back at him, which was probably a good thing since he couldn’t seem to tear his eyes away from her tattoo and ass. “It’s warm in here and we’re going to Georgia, so I doubt I’ll be cold.”
He sent a glare at her ass before he forced himself to look away. “Too much sunlight isn’t good for your tattoo,” Nick reminded her, hoping she’d just take the damn hint and cover up before he had to break the jaw of the bastard practically drooling next to him. What the hell was wrong with this asshole checking Jamie out when she was clearly with him?
Maybe the asshole didn’t know that Jamie was with him, Nick decided since the damn woman was a good five feet in front of him instead of by his side where she belonged. He threw the bastard a glare as he stepped up to Jamie’s side and threw his arm around her shoulders. Jamie threw him a curious look but didn’t say anything.
Smart woman.
Right now, he was torn between kissing the hell out of her and spanking that sweet ass of hers. This was all her fault. He shouldn’t be feeling like this. In fact, he hated feeling like this. Instead of standing here with her, he should have followed through with the brush-off that he’d automatically started this morning and right now, he should be flirting with the hot stewardess that kept shooting him welcoming glances.
What in the hell was wrong with him ?
“Are you still cranky?” Jamie asked.
“I’m not cranky,” he bit out even though he was feeling pretty damn cranky at the moment.
“Uh-huh,” Jamie said absently as she looked around the busy airport until her eyes landed on the small cafe. “Well, while you’re doing whatever it is that you’re doing, I’m going to get something to eat while we wait to board.”
Before he could stop her, she was stepping out from beneath his arm and heading over to the cafe. He took note of every guy that stopped what they were doing to stare at her ass. That was his ass they were all staring at and he wasn’t having it. Until he was done with her that was his ass to enjoy and he was damn well going to enjoy it, Nick decided as he stalked over to her and took her back into his arms where she damn well belonged.
At least for the moment.
“Where are you going?” Nick asked as she headed towards the front exit of the large convention center.
She gestured towards the door where most of the fans were heading. “To grab a taxi and head back to the hotel,” Jamie said, frowning since he was the one that told her that they were leaving.
Nick gestured towards the back exit of the building. “The RNL was so pleased by this year’s turnout that they decided to treat you to a limo for the night,” Nick explained as they made their way towards the back exit.
Jamie wondered if this was going to be the moment he chose to clear the air between them. Even though she’d already figured it out for herself, it would be nice to hear it come from him. It wouldn’t be the first time that she heard the rejection speech, but it would probably be the most painful one. She wasn’t looking forward to hearing it, but she knew this morning that this little love affair of theirs probably wouldn’t last the day. She got to have her experience with him and she wasn’t about to ruin it by being sad that it was ending before it really had a chance to begin.
“Here we are,” Nick said, gesturing to a sleek black limousine parked less than ten feet from the door.
Jamie sent the driver, an older man with short brown hair, a polite smile as she accepted his help into the limo. Once she was inside, she took her time taking everything in since it was her first time in a limo. There was a lot more room than she thought there would be. There was plenty of room to seat eight adults comfortably, a flatscreen television and even a minibar in the sidewall. Being given the kiss off by Nick would definitely be memorable, Jamie thought with a frown as she watched a black divider suddenly slide up, cutting off her view of the driver. Privacy was probably for the best. She’d really hate to have anyone witness this.
“Come here,” Nick suddenly said, drawing her attention from the mini cans of Coke to the backseat where he was lounging as he pulled his tie loose. When she hesitated, Nick reached over and grabbed her hand and gently pulled her closer until she somehow found herself straddling his lap.
“Much better,” Nick said, sounding pleased as he pushed her hair away from her neck and leaned in.
Her eyes closed on a soft sigh when his mouth found her neck and his hands moved over her bottom. “Um, what’s going on?” she couldn’t help but ask, wondering if perhaps she’d misread his crankiness. She did seem to make him especially cranky lately.
Nick chuckled against her neck, and God, did that feel good. “What does it look like?” he asked teasingly as he readjusted her on his lap until she found the large bulge in his pants pressed tightly against the spot that ached for him.
“Umm,” Jamie said, licking her lips as she tilted her head back to give him more room to work, “confusing me?”
“What exactly are you confused about?” Nick asked, grabbing her bottom and grinding her against him. The move robbed her of the ability to speak so she had to contend herself with just grabbing onto his shoulders and holding on for dear life when he did it again.
“Uh, nothing?” she said, trying to remember what he just said. Not that it mattered, Jamie decided a moment later when he slipped one hand down the back of her pants while the other one slid beneath her shirt and cupped her breast.
This was heaven, Jamie thought on a moan as she ground herself against him. She leaned down and kissed him as she moved on his lap, desperate for the release he’d given her that morning. When she found it, he swallowed her screams while she swallowed his curses.
“Everything is canceled,” Nick announced as he tossed his cell phone on top of his open suitcase. “The signing and the interviews have all been canceled thanks to this storm.”
The truth was, Jamie hadn’t been looking forward to braving this weather and for the past hour, she’d been contemplating faking her own death to get out of it. She didn’t know what was worse, the thunder and lightning, the buckets of water that were being poured down from the sky or the hail that occasionally slammed against the hotel window. The only thing she knew for certain was that she didn’t want to go out in it.
At least she got the day off, Jamie thought as she found herself looking up from the file that she was working on to run an appreciative eye over Nick as he sorted through the folders stacked on top of the desk. Maybe they could use this time to try out a few more things. After what happened in the limo last night, they hadn’t had a moment to rest, relax, or more importantly, at least to her, to do it again. Thanks to him, she’d been up half the night aching for him. She used those hours wisely and got some work done. She’d finished editing a novel, finished her chapter early in her secret project, and finished writing three chapters for her latest Vampire of the Heart novel. Now that they had the day off, she wanted to-
“We can use this time to get some work done,” Nick announced, bursting her bubble as she watched him loosen his tie as he grabbed a pen and set to work.
“Fine,” Jamie grumbled, knowing that she was pouting and not really caring. She moved to sit down on the small couch only to decide that if she wasn’t expected to leave this hotel room, then she was going to at least be comfortable. “I’m going to change into something more comfortable to work in, then,” she said, heading for the door connecting their rooms to change into her flannel pajamas and order a hot fudge sundae from room service.
Nick didn’t say anything as she left the room and she didn’t expect him to. When he was working, nothing else mattered. Biting back a sigh, Jamie walked over to her bag and grabbed her flannel pajamas when the light pink shopping bag that she’d forgotten about caught her eye.
Worrying her bottom lip between her teeth, she glanced back at the closed door and then back at the bag. Could she really do this? Curious to see if she could make Nick lose his cool, Jamie decided that yes, she really could. With a heartfelt sigh, she grabbed the bag and made her way to the bathroom.
Nick didn’t bother looking up from his computer when Jamie walked back into the room a few minutes later. He needed to figure out a few backup plans just in case this bad weather followed them on their tour. He was just about to ask Jamie how she felt about hitting Texas when a flash of white caught his eye. Not really thinking much of it, he looked up and nearly choked on his tongue at the sight before him.
Before his mind fully registered the fact that Jamie was wearing the short white silk and lace number that had made him harder than steel at the store, he was getting to his feet and tearing off his shirt and tie. When she bent over in front of him to pick something up from the coffee table, he stumbled when he got his first look at her bare ass. If he hadn’t already been hard that would have done it.
“Get on the bed and spread your legs,” Nick bit out, uncaring that he was barking orders at her or that she was still new to all of this. He wanted her and he was damn well going to have her.
He could have kissed her when she did exactly what he’d asked without any hesitation. When she laid back on the bed and spread her legs, he noted the blush that crept up her cheeks, but he was helpless at the moment to reassure her that everything would be okay when the only thing he could focus on at the moment was the soft, pink lips between her legs. He toed off his shoes and dropped his pants, uncaring that they were going to get wrinkled.
He shoved his underwear down before he crawled onto the bed and buried his face between her legs. The sharp cry of pleasure she released when he swiped his tongue over her clit pleased him, so he did it again and again as he ran his hands over her silk-encased body. By the time she started screaming his name, he was on top of her, grinding his cock between her wet slit and taking her mouth in a hungry kiss that she eagerly welcomed.
The moment he came, Nick realized that they wouldn’t be getting any work done today. The realization would have normally pissed him off, but today, it only pleased him.
Nick ground his teeth together and forced himself to breathe as the torture continued. Just as she took the tip into her mouth and began driving him out of his fucking mind, she stopped, testing his control. She’d been doing this for the past twenty-three minutes and ten seconds.
When she’d shyly asked him if she could take him into her mouth, he’d nearly groaned, wondering if Christmas had come early for him this year. It felt like years since he’d first imagined her sucking his cock, but in reality, it had only been a few weeks. This morning, when she showed up in his room in that barely-there teddy, he’d hoped and prayed that she’d do it, but had absolutely no intentions of forcing the issue. So, when she’d offered, all he could do was lay there and nod like an idiot.
He hadn’t even questioned her need to work under the covers while she did it. Truth be told, watching the shape of her head move beneath the pale green sheet while she worked him turned him on even more. Just then, she decided to up her game by licking him from his balls to the tip of his cock, making his back arch off the bed, tearing a groan from him. When she licked him again, he felt himself relax. That is until she suddenly stopped.
Again.
Jamie mumbled something, but he was too focused on the painful erection between his legs to pay attention. When she licked only to stop again, he’d had enough. He really couldn’t take anymore and wondered why she was trying to kill him. When he pulled the sheet away, he received his second surprise of the day.
She had one hand wrapped around the base of his cock as she frowned down at her phone. “I can’t tell if I’m doing this right,” Jamie mumbled sadly.
With a shaky hand, Nick reached over and took the phone away from her and nearly groaned when he realized that his little recluse was watching an instructional video on her phone. The fact that she wanted to please him touched him in a way nothing else had. In that moment, it didn’t matter that she had him hard enough to cause pain. All that mattered was his little recluse.
He tossed the phone aside and cupped her face in his hands. “Anything you do will please me, Jamie. You don’t need that,” Nick said, struggling to beg her to stop tormenting him, but he didn’t want to hurt her. He would lie there for the rest of the night while she tortured him if that’s what she needed.
“Okay,” Jamie said, slowly exhaling as she straightened her shoulders and set back to work. This time, she took pity on him and didn’t stop. Actually, she didn’t stop until he was shouting her name and begging her to stop sucking on his poor, sensitive cock. When she finally released him only to pout, he couldn’t help but laugh as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her, unable to help but notice just how good she felt in his arms.
