"Yeah?"

"If you want to rip it up, say the word."

Her breath caught. "Actually, I didn't write it down. Did you?"

"No."

"But wait…" She hesitated. "Do you mean the deal where we agreed to forget that day? Or thefirstdeal, where I was supposed to stay on as your guest andnotask any questions?"

"You pick," I said. "Name the deal, and it's yours."

"But why doIhave to choose?"

"Because I gave you my word."

"So?"

"So if the choice were mine, you wouldn't be going upstairs alone."

Her lips parted. "Oh." Again, she looked toward the elevators. And then she looked to me. When our gazed locked, a soft sound escaped her lips. The sound went straight to my groin.

I lowered my head and whispered in her ear. "Your choice."

When she replied, it was more like a breath than a statement. "I chooseyou."

With a smile, I pulled back to look at her face. "Yeah?"

She nodded. "That deal we made? I've been hating it for weeks."

I wasn't gonna lie. "Me, too." And with this, I reached for her hand. I turned it upward and lowered my head to kiss her palm. Her skin was smooth and warm and smelled like honey.

If we weren't in a public place, I would've left a trail of kisses from her palm to her shoulder – and then, to her lips.

But that wasn't me. When it came to something I wanted,reallywanted, I didn't share – visually or otherwise. And there was no way on Earth that I'd be sharing her blushes or sounds with anyone else, not even the cameras that monitored the lobby.

So instead, I pulled back and said, "Wait here."

"For what?" she asked.

"I'm gonna get a room."

"But we already have a room." She gave a trembling laugh. "We have two, actually."

"Not good enough."

She frowned in confusion. "For what?"

I smiled. "You."

Chapter 50

Becka

In the doorway to the suite, I stopped and caught my breath. The room I'd been staying in on the lower floor was perfectly lovely.But this? It couldn’t compare.

I looked to Jack and said, "You realize, you didn't have to do this, right?"

"Do what?" he asked, making a move to flick on the lights.
