Free All Messed Up: Windy City Kink, Book 2 by Kelly Jamieson

tucked the end in.
    He grabbed the towel he’d used earlier, dragging it over his short hair then rapidly drying off. He tossed the towel on the floor then stepped out of the tub and helped her out. Her eyes watched him with heated anticipation.
    She looked younger with her face washed clean of makeup and her hair slicked back. Beautiful. Her skin was glowy smooth, her eyes big with long lashes, her lips full. Then her teeth sank into that plush bottom lip as she glanced around the room. Water puddled everywhere and dripped down the steamy mirror.
    He lifted one shoulder and smiled. “Hey. We had fun.”
    She rolled her lips in and nodded, eyes sparkling. “Didn’t you say something about room service?”
    “Hell yeah. I’m starving now. I’m not sure I have enough strength to make it to the bed.”
    “Poor baby. Let me help you.”
    They did make it to the bed, where fortunately the phone and room service menu were close at hand on the bedside table. Mallory burrowed beneath the puffy bedcover while he lounged back against the stack of pillows and flipped through the menu. “Okay. I’m having a burger and fries. And onion rings. And a couple of beers. How about you?” He handed her the menu.
    She gaped at him. “You’re going to eat all that?”
    “I said I’m starving. Those nachos were a helluva long time ago.”
    She dropped her gaze to the pages in front of her. “Um. I guess I’ll have a hamburger too. No, a chicken burger.” She peeked at him through her eyelashes. “D’you think I could have a few of your fries?”
    He lowered his brows. “You’re not one of those girls, are you?”
    She blinked.
    “One of those girls who steals all a guy’s fries because she thinks if she didn’t order them, they don’t have any calories?”
    A smile broke free on her pretty face. “But that’s the way it works. They don’t have calories if someone else orders them.”
    He grinned too. “I guess I could share a few. But I’m warning you. I like my food. Take too many of my fries and you might find yourself being punished.”
    Her eyebrows rose in a sexy challenge that made his heart leap. “I’ll keep that in mind,” she murmured. And his dick throbbed.
    “What do you want to drink?” He reached for the phone.
    “What the hell. I’ll have a couple of beers too.”
    He looked at her over his shoulder. “You’re really going wild tonight, huh?”
    Pink tinted her cheeks but her eyes pinched. She didn’t really like being reminded of that. “Yes. Yes, I am.”
    She’d been wild all right. He was still recovering. Although he had a feeling it wouldn’t be long before he’d be ready to go again.
    As he waited for hotel staff to answer the phone, he remembered their earlier conversation. She’d been hesitant about staying in this room with him, let alone about doing anything more. She fascinated him, with the wild streak inside her that she kept carefully covered up in a silky sweater and tailored pants and neat hairdo. What was that all about?
    He ordered their food and drinks then turned back to her, his mouth softening when he saw her eyes drifting closed, her mouth lax. He brushed her damp hair back off her face. Her eyelashes fluttered open. “Sleepy?”
    “I guess I am.”
    “You wanna sleep until the food comes? I’ll wake you up.”
    Her eyelids drooped again. “Mmm. Okay.”
    He found the remote for the television and turned it on, his gaze moving back and forth from the TV to her sleeping face as he adjusted the volume to very low and started channel surfing.
    He couldn’t take his eyes off her. His gaze roved over her face, falling on the diamond studs in her earlobes. He remembered the surprising navel piercing. That was sexy. And that tattoo…he’d followed it with his mouth from her nape to her ass.
    She had the covers so bunched up around her chin he couldn’t see an inch of her lovely body, but now he knew how stunning she was up close and naked. Smooth, pale gold skin,
