word but I really needed to... I don’t know. I just needed to get away.”
“You were exactly right to use it — to let me know my holding you was a problem. I might want to tie you up someday and the word will make me untie you. But let me say again, there’s no reason for embarrassment or shame between us. I probably pushed air up your ass when I fucked it; you don’t have to leave the room to release it. I won’t think less of you for passing gas. It’s a natural bodily function.”
She felt herself blushing and she remained in the doorway with lots of floor space between them. “That wasn’t the main reason I went in there. I needed... I don’t know exactly what I needed. Away from you for a few minutes to collect my thoughts, maybe.”
“Are you good now? Can you be near me again?”
Cara walked to the robe and put it back on, but sat in the chair, five feet from the bed and asked, “Are we going home now?”
His words were measured. Careful. “We can if you’d like. Or we can spend the night and drive back tomorrow morning. Let me check the outer hall, there should be fresh clothes for both of us. I’ll be right back.”
He returned with a department store bag and produced a pair of jean shorts and a shirt for her, along with a package of underwear. There was also an undershirt with a built in bra.
“Who does this for you?”
He shrugged. “There are people who make a living catering to the whims of people with too much money. It’s not as impressive as it might seem. The most efficient tend to demand the highest fees and those of us who want proficiency pay it. I’m good to drive you home tonight if you want, or we can go into my media room.” His smile had a hint of mischievousness. “I have the latest Intuos tablet, extra-large, if you’d like to play with it. I’d kind of hoped for cuddling but you don’t seem up to it.”
No, she didn’t cuddle, but she’d spent untold hours lusting after those pen tablets. Some of them cost almost as much as her car. “Really? Those are going for like — oh, yeah, money’s no object to you.” She rolled her eyes and smiled. “Yes, I’d love to play around with it. What software do you have?”
“If I don’t have what you need I’ll buy it and download it, but I think I have all the good stuff.”
Chapter Five
She followed him onto the walkway overlooking the great room below, with Travis still nude and her in the robe. The night view of the city was more breathtaking than the daytime vista and when he turned to go into a room she kept walking until her toes touched the glass. She spent several minutes looking at the blackness of the sky, the moving lights of traffic, the still lights of the buildings and streetlights.
Turning to find Travis, she paused at a closed door with a complex lock that looked as if it belonged on a bank vault. She wasn’t sure, but it appeared to need a palm print. How odd. But then, from what she’d gathered, a lot of people had access to the condo so she supposed it’d be necessary to have a room to secure personal effects. But, no, he’d said this wasn’t really a home. His important papers would be in Chattanooga.
She made her way to the door he’d walked into and saw him booting a computer with ten monitors. There were three, then four in a row above them, and another three on top. Damn. Talk about the need to multi-task. She’d thought her two monitors impressive; no wonder he didn’t comment on her set-up the other night — it must’ve seemed quaint to him.
Cara wasn’t accustomed to seeing men walking around nude while operating a computer and she couldn’t help but stare at his ass as he bent over the desk, clicking away at the mouse.
He saw her and said, “You already know how to move across multiple displays , and I’ll have three of them active. I used my phone to take a picture of one of the trees you shot; I’ll put it on one
