Slowly, the man and I turn to face each other.
God, he’s handsome.
And built.
My throat works on a swallow.
Given the opportunity, I’d cling to those shoulders like my life depended on it.
Wow. I need to snap out of this.
I hold my left hand out in front of me, palm up, and keep my fisted right hand an inch above my open palm. “Play you for the bill.”

The sideof my mouth twitches, trying to smile, but I keep my features serious.
I sit up straighter. And if I roll my shoulders back, it’s for posture. Not to make my chest look more impressive.
“One round or best of three?” I ask the beautiful woman with beautiful green eyes as I mimic her hand position—readying myself for a game of rock paper scissors.
She tilts her head to the side, her hair fanning out with the movement.
I want to reach out so badly. Want to run my fingers through it.
But I hold myself still and wait for her answer.
Her eyes drop to my mouth before moving back up to meet my gaze. “One and done.”
I can’t help but do what she did, lowering my gaze to her plump lips for a beat. “Deal.”
I know we’re talking about the game. But I also hope we’re talking about tonight.
Because I don’t sleep with guests of the Inn, but…
Maybe it’s her body.
Maybe it’s her mouth.
Maybe it’s the way she fucking called mePapi.
My blood simmers at the memory.
Yeah, Baby Doll, I’ll be your Daddy.
Maybe it’s all of it.
Maybe it’s justher.
But either way, I aim to break some rules tonight.
She lifts her fisted hand.
I do the same.
Together, we tap our fists into our palms.
