Chapter 18

We stopped in front of my hotel room and I faced away from him as I looked for my key card inside my purse. I felt him behind me, his thumb rubbing small circles against my clothed hip. "You never answered my question." He said in a low voice and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I halted for a minute during my search but managed to find it when he squeezed my hip. "Just no visible hickeys." I breathed out before unlocking the door and pulling him inside.

He closed the door behind him and immediately pulled me against him, right hand moving to the back of my neck to pull my face towards his while the other remained on my hip. I felt myself melting into him as I dropped my purse on the carpeted floor, hands moving up his chest until they settled by his shoulders.

The warmth that went through me earlier felt like a blazing fire as Charles kissed me fiercely, head leaning to the side to make it deeper. A small sigh escaped my lips when his tongue ran against my bottom lip, asking for access which I didn't hesitate to grant him. As his tongue met mine, he began moving forward, making me walk the opposite manner. I was expecting him to walk towards where the bed was when he pressed my back against the wall beside the bathroom door, switching our positions.

His hand that was on my neck moved excruciatingly slow down to my collarbones and then to my shoulders until he slid one of the straps of my dress down my shoulder. His lips followed his fingers, a moan escaping my lips when he pressed a light kiss on my collarbone. He repeated the action once he realized he found one of my sweet spots, making me grip his shoulders tighter. 

I moved my hands down to his chest as his lips returned to meet mine. My hands continued their journey downwards until I held the hem of his shirt against my fingers. "I need this off." I whispered against his lips and Charles pulled away for a second to take off his shirt, removing the bandana around his head in the process as well.

He sighed when I placed my hands by his abdomen, loving the way how his skin felt warm against mine. He kissed me harder this time, one of his hands taking hold of my thigh and wrapping my leg around his hip. "Jump."

I followed his command, legs wrapping around his waist as one of his hands moved to the small of my back. It was my turn to kiss his neck this time, taking note of how his body stilled when I kissed the spot behind his ear. I felt him sit down on the bed and his right hand moved to my cheek, making me look into his eyes. It felt oddly satisfying to be the one looking down at him this time because of our position, my hair swept to one side of my face. I moved my hands to the nape of his neck, fingers running through his hair and I watched as Charles clenched his jaw while I smirked.

"I think I just found one of your preferences." I said, my hips lightly rocking against his.

"You're being unfair, then." He replied back and I couldn't help but lean my head back as a small laugh escaped my lips. He took the opportunity to kiss my neck once again, fingers moving to the back of my dress as his pulled my zipper down.

When it was already loose enough to remove, I pulled the dress over my head and chucked it somewhere behind me. "I'm sitting on your lap, half naked, while you're still mostly clothed. Who's being unfair now?" I daunted and he took it as a challenge.

He changed our positions, pulling away after giving me a strong kiss on the lips. I watched with my elbows holding my body up as Charles unfastened the buckle of his belt, eyes never leaving mine. I didn't bother covering myself up, crossing my legs over the other as I felt the heat between my legs. I already knew he was fit which was why I didn't break the eye contact, his gaze so intense I felt like he could see through me.

"That work for you?" He teased after moving over me again, elbows pressing against the mattress on either side of my head.

"Very much so." I cupped his cheeks with my hands and pulled his lips down onto mine.
