| Chapter 6 |
| The clouds had moved in fast. They were only about five minutes away from the hotel when the rain started. From seemingly out of nowhere, a cloud opened up above them and began pouring it�s contents down upon the car. The rain fell so hard it sounded more like hail; it formed white sheets on the windshield, and Kat nervously and silently hoped Alex could see well enough to get them back safely to the hotel. By the time they pulled into the parking lot, the neighboring streets had begun to resemble small rivers. AJ parked the car, then wondered aloud, �I guess I should have gone valet, huh?� Kat shrugged. �I�m sure it will let up soon. Just a cloudburst, right?� They were eager to get inside, but waited a few more minutes, watching the rain continue to fall. It seemed to be raining even harder now, if that were even possible. AJ looked at Kat, eyebrows raised. �Wanna make a break for it?� �Ready when you are!� she agreed. They counted to �three� then dashed out of the car toward the hotel lobby. He was much faster, especially since she was still sporting three-inch heels and a cocktail dress. She had grabbed the McDonald�s bag to cover the top of her head, but the rest of her was soaked through to the skin. Giggling like kids, they quickly made their way across the lobby. Once inside the elevator, he stepped back and looked her over from head to toe. They were alone in the elevator car. �Your dress�� he swallowed hard, �is clinging to absolutely every curve on your luscious little body,� he snarled lewdly. ��And right now, I�m very jealous of that dress.� He breathed hard in her ear as he slid behind her and pressed up against her back. She could feel the warmth of his body as well as his growing hardness pushing against her through the thin wet silk. She blushed, totally embarrassed and completely flattered. The things he said�the way he looked at her�and now this. She was getting the impression that his problems with Sarah weren�t going to bother him anymore tonight. If he was going to use her as an escape, then so be it. She didn�t care. She�d never felt so sexy in her whole life. She was shocked that this man�this boy, ten years her junior would find her even the slightest bit attractive. And yet, he had just called her luscious. She realized the metal elevator doors were polished to a mirror-like finish. She looked at her reflection. Now she could see her dress and how it molded to her tiny, well-toned, five-foot-four-inch frame. It left very little to the imagination. In her heels, she and Alex were nearly the same height. Her long dark hair was dripping wet, and sable brown ringlets framed her face. She watched as a droplet of water rolled down her cheek and fell from her chin. She saw Alex standing behind her, his hot hands moving skillfully up and down her body. She leaned into him. He was watching, too. Her stomach did a little flip-flop and her knees grew weak as she thought about what they would soon be doing. The elevator stopped and the doors slid open. �Come on, beautiful,� he whispered in her ear. �Let�s get you out of these wet things.� |
