I accept the cup, now without flinching. The humored smile she barely disguised to catch me looking at him made my cheeks burn.
It gives me something to eat, but I refuse. What, no doubt stupid.
I keep hearing and drinking a glass or other to ward off the nervousness.
I am very aware of his presence, more than I would like. The way the corner of his lips curve when he smiles. The way you close your eyes when you remember any important detail. His look pervaded me to know if I'm watching what you say.
Of course I'm not. I spent almost two hours following admiring it. If I were an artist, could move to screen every feature of her face and body perfect with eyes closed.
- Well ... This is all very boring.
Adam smiled sheepishly, like a boy who took his girlfriend to the room and spent the whole afternoon talking about their games.
- So tell me the fun part.
The friendly woman returns and replenishes the bucket with drinking. Adam up and back to the couch. A little tap next to it is an invitation for me to sit beside her.
Maybe because I already feel lighter or simply because I want to be closer to him, I accept.
It makes talking this time of how the project was born, in a game table in the house of Neil. How they had found the idea incredible Richard, and his surprise to learn that all embark on this dream.
I just noticed that his hand holding mine when his fingers began a gentle caress on my skin.
Immediately a heat began to rise through my body.
- So, you are also a partner?
- Yes.
- But it is worth ...
- Millions. But it is also an investment with a risk of millions.
I worked a long time with finances in the bank, I know what he's referring to. Despite fantastic, this venture could become a great white elephant, if not managed properly.
- Richard is a mastermind.
- And you're his friend.
Something I always admired is fidelity between them.
- I believe in what he's doing.
I support my head on his shoulder. Adam tells about some more details. Rio some very comic passages on his last visit to Dubai. He straightens me comfortably on his chest, and his hands start a cuddle in my head.
I do not know if it's the drink begins to take effect, it was a sleepless night that left me exhausted, or the pleasant warmth in my hair, but my eyes start to get heavy.
****
Awakened naked and completely confused. It took me about ten seconds to realize where I am.
I sit on the bed and cover my breasts with the sheet. I run my hand through my tousled hair and force my mind to remember what happened.
I'm naked, so ...
The alert sounds in my head. My last vivid memory was when snuggled in Adam and closed my eyes to rest. We ... we both ...
- Nothing happened.
I follow my gaze toward the voice and see him out of the bathroom. wet hair, bare chest, and a towel around his waist.
I can not keep my eyes delight with the almost imperceptible line of the descending-defined abdomen and disappears under the towel. My mouth is filled with water, and I get away quickly, meeting his eyes.
- We do not...
stealthily look at the bed, trying to see both of us in torrid moments of passion.
- Do not fucked yet, if you want to know.
- I'm naked.
-Imaginei That would be more comfortable as well.
He drops the towel, falling at his feet on the ground. His smile is cynical, and almost tactile look at me makes me drop a weak moan.
Oh God! Be merciful to me. Behold, I have an incredibly handsome man, naked and aroused before my eyes. This should not be happening, after all, he's just out of the shower.
- I think I need a shower, too.
Levanto, clumsy, the screwing up sheet on my legs. I imbalance, falling into his arms. I support my hands on his wiry bicep.
- Are you alright?
The deliciously husky voice invades my senses. It's like someone pressed the button and it's desire to spread throughout my body, leaving me limp.
- No I'm not.
Let the sheet fall, joining the towel, and hurried run to the bathroom.
****
Now I understand why the bathroom had not helped him to control his desire. The same happens to me. I still feel this disturbing tingling in my body.
I get to the room, it is tidy. Coro to imagine what airline officials should think of who believe that happened here.
I-Visa formally: navy blue dress with neckline half canoe and low-heeled shoes. I'm glad that the movement in my stomach is hungry, and not an involuntary reaction of desire that Adam awakens in me.
Find it in one of the chairs with an open laptop. There is food on the table: fruit, juice, toast, yogurt, jam and some rolls.
- Sleep well?
The smile is so sweet and sincere that I must repay.
- Much. We still have much flight time?
Sento and caught one of the loaves, which seem appetizing. Place a large strawberry jelly layer and bring it to my mouth, enjoying the delicious taste.
- Aterrissaremos in forty-five minutes.
Cough loudly and Adam serves me a glass of juice. Drink and rub his neck. We talked for about three hours, this means that I slept for eight hours straight.
- Why did not you wake me?
- He looked very tired - he shrugged.
I really was. The pre-trip stress. The days leading up to it. Every job I've been having in the company, besides my love life, had required much effort from me, physically and mentally.
- Thanks.
I continue with my coffee, and he focused on the computer. We are two hidden. I bet he watches the screen the same way you remember what I ate five minutes ago.
I decide to look through the window. A city is emerging. I admire the ocean and, for a while, I get lost in the landscape taking shape.
I hear the commander to the guidelines for landing, and when I turn around, Adam is looking at me. How long has he seen me?
No way, he gets up and goes to the room.
In the car, we remain silent.
-It's beautiful.
The excitement at what I see makes me take the first step.
From the airport to the Delaney Center, it took no more than twenty minutes. Giant palm trees circling the street, the endless meters of beach and clear blue sea, make this place a true paradise on earth.
The complex is like a small town. The hotel is even more beautiful than I saw in the pictures.
- Let's go.
While Adam leads me, I feel like a child in the store M & M's, and I'm crazy about them.
He smiles and uses the excuse to drive me to let me even closer to him. I do not care, I feel happy. When you are happy, do all people on your back happy is all that matters.
- 304. This is ours.
Our?
- There is a fourth set. I thought it would be better to be together. You know, because of work.
Ham ham. And he should make a liar of the Year trophy. Oh, who cares. All I want is for Adam soon end with this game and surrender to this electricity between us, since I put my feet on that plane.
- This is your suite. Right behind that door is my room.
- Is beautiful.
The suite is all white and silver. Elegant, and in a way that I can not define very well, it is also sexy. The glass window, which gives to the balcony, occupies half wall. I can see the round table and the sea beyond.
- Logo will bring our bags. Dinner starts at eight o'clock. We still have four hours. You can get some rest.
Frustrated, I watch him go through the door that separates us. Men! Who can understand them?
First Adam invents this damned journey, then almost forces me to come here. When I finally get to let your guard down, it acts as if we were only here for work.
That's annoying. Then they say that women are incomprehensi
ble.
As there is nothing to do but admire the room, I follow his advice: take a shower and relax a bit.
Before going to the bathroom, stop a second to admire the room. The white and huge bed. some decent thoughts come to mind. The whole environment screams luxury. The tub is so inviting that in a moment I'm in it, imagining Adam naked in the bathtub in her room. Was I thinking of me as I think of him? It was touching seeking the same relief I seek?
I close my eyes and visualize with me.
Damn it!
I awakened with a start. As I slept after eight hours I slept on the plane, I do not know.
I run to the room, and the suitcase is next to the bed. My clothes are not there, believe they are in the closet.
When I open the first of the six closet doors, almost fall back to check the amount of dresses there.
The clock on the wall announces 6:37 a.m.. I have no time to imagine what happened. If it is the work of Adam or another hotel service, after all, people who attend a place like this can only have a lot of money. That's kind of place where things happen.
Amid the racks of clothes, find a little tube nude dress with bright stones on the skirt. It's like a gentle waterfall of fire came down to the bar. Chock one stiletto, make a ponytail and step lipstick. I look in the mirror one last time. I like what I see. The girl reflected in it is delicately sexy and beautiful. No time to blush, then give small batinhas on my face. It's an old trick, but it still works.
I go out hurriedly, but a wall of muscle and surprise make me stop.
- Thanks. Where are you going?
The musky scent has on me the effect ever.
- Sorry, I was late.
- The table was reserved for 8:30.
It puts a loose thread behind my ear, and his gaze is full of affection. My heart is leaping in my chest.
- But if the subject is this ...
His hands glide over my shoulders, arms, and come to my waist, leaving a trail of fire burning my skin under her dress.
- Worth every minute.
His mouth claims mine, and soon we are connected. Stuck on each other, just the two of us in the world. The kiss has so much softness and sweetness that feel like the wings of a hummingbird touched my lips.
- If we are now ...
The kiss is interrupted, and our foreheads are stuck together. His breath is as irregular as mine. I support my hand on his chest, trying to recover.
- We will not ever again.
We went to the restaurant. I find that really the pieces in the closet is his work.
- Do not have to stay with all of them, only you like. The store will send the bill to me.
- Are you crazy? They have no price tag.
Estaco in front of him so we left the elevator.
- Then see as a work uniform.
- We are not here to work. We both know that.
- And what are we doing here?
Both the male body as sexy voice in the ear corner me.
- Are you trying to seduce me.
My voice sounds shaky, and way back to hit the wall.
- And I'm getting?
- Answer you.
Another kiss, another way to drive me crazy. This time, the kiss is urgent. His teeth nipping my mouth, sucking, tasting.
- I'd say I'm on the right track.
It took Adam led me to our table, I did not know if I could do something as simple as walking.
The dinner went like old times. For anyone curious, we looked like a couple in love, enjoying a pleasant evening.
We talked about work, as I was doing well without me Neil in the company about the accident and its lack of memory.
- You have a beautiful garden outside, or walk a little?
- I would love to.
There are three entries in the restaurant: one that leads to the hospital, one that leads to the beach and that leads to a beautiful garden.
Banks were spread in order to follow a floral path. In the center, there is a fountain with five angels where water cascades.
So I sit, Adam firmly holds my hand.
- I need to say something I should ...
His tone seems rushed and urgent. Eyes covered with distress and anxiety announce that our perfect evening is at risk.
- Initially, you may not understand ...
The sound of the phone ringing interrupts what he says. I watch him off and stand.
- Listen...
Again, his voice is interrupted by the insistent sound.
- Why do not you answer? It may be important
Indicate the phone and smile to alert you that all is well.
His gaze is undecided, but finally meets.
- Crighton. What did he do? Damn it!
Whatever happened was relatively severe. Adam is extremely nervous to end the call.
- One of the guards shot a demonstrator who broke into the east wing. Tomorrow is the grand opening, and the press know that ...
- Is there anything I can do?
Levanto and lay next to her.
- I need to make some calls and put hot cloths, to know the seriousness of the situation.
His hand touches my face in a simple caress.
I'll be back in a few minutes. We have to talk.
Management head and I see him rushing out.
I go to my bank where I decide to stay until he returns. A question round my head: what is so important to tell me? What disturbs him so much?
In the following minutes, these are the only thoughts crowding my mind. Not even the bright moon in the sky was enough to distract me.
However, the flash behind me took me this introspective time.
- Sorry, I could not resist.
- Evan?
Not sure if I'm in shock to see him or the photograph he took without my permission.
- Why are you here?
- I came to the opening, and you?
- The work.
If there was an alarm to announce when we were lying, my would be heard from here to New York.
- Crighton?
He sits next to me, and I look in another direction.
- My boss is also a partner of this place.
- Of course, I remember.
We sat in silence. I'm embarrassed, we have not spoken much in the last few weeks, in fact, I have avoided.
I know Evan is interested in me, he never hid. There were times I wondered what I give you an opportunity, but today ...
The fact is that I may never be able to give my heart to anyone else. Evan is kind, smart, funny, deserve more than half of me. Someone better than me. Someone who really loves. I would not accept less.
- Evan, I ...
- Look. A shooting star. Make a wish.
I look at risk across the sky. I close my eyes and pray with all the strength that Adam loves me.
- What you asked?
His impish look and smile are contagious.
- Can not tell.
- Want to know what I asked?
- If you tell me, can not be realized. Know this.
- I do not think that will be held anyway.
He takes a deep breath and takes my hands.
- At his expression, I think it was very important. So what you asked?
- You.
That said, his lips touch mine. Not a rapturous kiss. The touch is soft and gentle. However, I have no reaction, and surprise. Which is replaced by horror at the scene that follows.
- Son of a bitch! Get your hands off her!
Chapter 16
Adam
How one night I had planned so carefully to be the single, perfect night, it turned into one of my worst nightmares?
See another man with her in his arms ... I'm just not mad, I'm mad, out of me, covered in a rage could kill this cursed only with a deadly look.
- Get away from her, Parker!
- Or what?
Advance toward him. His cynicism and arrogance further inflame my anger.
Evan smiles and sl
ips his thumb in his mouth, pretending to clean a lipstick stain.
- I'll kill you!
My look is as intimidating as the threat contained in my voice, I really feel that I am capable of it. Evan grind like meat in the grinder, and I just get tired when he saw all their crushed bones.
- Adam, no!
I'm so mad I did not notice when Penelope stood beside me, holding my fist ready to attack.
- Evan, please, go away.
- I'm going because you're asking, Penelope.
I'm literally snarling at him, and if she had not placed between us, preventing me, I would leave his face and erase this cynical smile face.
- See you at the inauguration tomorrow. Gentlemen.
Making a flourish with his hand, he retires.
- Adam, what has gotten into you?
There is? She's really making me this question?
- I go out for a few minutes and that is unfortunate grabbing you!
She looks at me askance. I see fun shining in her eyes. The unfortunate has fun with my inner hell.
- It was just an innocent kiss. Why are you jealous?
- Because you're mine.
Secure his arms tightly and pull her closer to me. Their bristly breasts shave my chest, in seconds, my body wakes up to her. Eye to eye, bated breath, and the same heartbeat.
- I am?
The question sounds to me more like a statement. I feel a peacock displaying its feathers. She's mine, always has been and always will be. I can not explain how, just know that.
- Yes, you are mine. Completely and irrevocably ... My.
Driven by unbridled need, I kiss. Passionately, urgently, as wished for all the hours I spent on that plane, trying to play the gentleman, and in the afternoon, when I swore to myself that I was doing right. Keeping distance to regain their faith and trust in me.
Fuck chivalry and what is right. The wrong never looked so good. In love there is no logic. I can not think rationally when I handed in my arms.
- We have to get out of here.
I bite his lip slightly and pull a groan her. The sound makes me drunk.
Almost run her into the hotel. His giggles before my impetus excite me even more.
