Chapter 7
Bonni waited while Quinn exited the taxi and reached back in for her. She placed her hand in his and he helped her out of the car, making sure she was steady on her unfamiliar high heels before closing the door. He was every inch the gentleman, but there was an undercurrent that spoke to her long-dormant wild side.
They walked through the lobby to a bank of elevators, the only soundsthe noises from the casino and the clicking of her heels. His hand was on the small of her back again, her body fitting into the curve of his arm. Once inside an elevator, he pulled her fully into his embrace. She let her head fall back and he lowered his until their lips almost touched.
‘You were quiet on the drive.’ His breath whispered over her cheek, stoking the fire of her desire.
‘It wasa short drive.’ Bonni turned her head slightly, exposing her neck to him. He knew what she wanted and trembled when he delicately placed a kiss next to her jawline.
‘Your neck begs for kisses.’ His lips moved against her flesh.
‘Ooh.’She sagged into his arms, and he held her tight.
‘You’re okay with heading to my room? I expect you’re all rooming together?’ His voice was soft, and questioning.
‘As a matter of fact, we are. Yes, I am very okay with visiting your room.’ Bonni sighed and draped her arms around his shoulders.
She hoped no one else would get in the elevator with them.
Quinn backed her against the wall, the muscles of his thighs pressing hers, taking teasing nips along her neck. ‘I do have a good view of the Strip.’
Feeling adventurous, Bonni slid a hand down to his assand squeezed. ‘It’s not the Strip I’m looking to view.’
He chuckled and continued his quest along her neck. ‘So long as I’m not the only one stripping.’
Bonni’s mind was beginning to fog with passion. ‘If you think you’ll enjoy the view.’
‘Oh, I can promise you I will.’ His mouth trailed back up to her cheek and kissed his way to her lips.
‘Y-yes, I believe you will. What happens in Vegasstays in Vegas?’ she asked him, surprised by the sultry tone in her voice. She wasn’t quite sure if she only wanted one night or, perhaps, maybe . . . longer.
‘Anything you wish.’ He gripped her wrist and Bonni sucked in a quick breath at the sensations fanning out from his touch. With him curved over her, even with her heels putting her at nearly six feet, he was much taller than she was. Shefelt delicate, feminine and sexy.
‘You’re trembling,’ he said, next to her ear.
‘I know,’ Bonni whispered.
‘I like that.’ The tone of his voice, seductive and deep, totally melted her inside and the throbbing between her thighs escalated to wonderfully dangerous levels.
‘Ohh.’She was done. His words and touch were seducing her into a puddle, and she was loving every second of it.
She quivered,unable to control herself, and held on to him, which really wasn’t necessary, because he had her well in hand, one cradling the back of her head and the other her ass. She knew with every ounce of her being that, if she collapsed, he wouldn’t let her fall.
Thedingof the elevator broke through her haze and Bonni inhaled, taking in his scent before reluctantly stepping from his arms. He kepthis hand at the base of her neck, his fingertips pressing in rather possessively, and she liked it.
‘Come closer,’ he whispered, and pulled her to his side, sliding his arm around her shoulder.
The elevator door opened and a bunch of loud kids in bathing suits and carrying towels exploded into the elevator.
‘Going down?’ the oldest-looking one asked.
‘Nope,’ Quinn said. ‘Up. You’re going fora ride first.’
‘Aww,’ one of them complained. ‘I told you guys it wasn’t going down.’
‘They’re fast elevators; you’ll be there in no time,’ Quinn told the kids, and struck up a little conversation. He was at ease with them and Bonni liked to see this unexpected side of him.
He glanced at her and smiled, giving her a slow wink that made her belly tumble a bit. She leaned into him and watchedthe kids. They didn’t seem to care that she and Quinn were in the elevator, and did some shoving and pushing, as boys do.
