determination to control himself. How was she doing this, arousing him so quickly, so deeply?
“Jake, please.”
The words weren’t much louder than a whisper, but they created in him a desire so intense that he hesitated, afraid that moving would cause him to lose all control. His breathing was ragged as she pulled him down on top of her so his mouth could trace the path that his fingers had been following. Melanie pulled his mouth to her breast, holding him there until he slid his hand between her legs. She opened herself to him. He touched her, tentatively at first, then she shifted her hips to give him full access. He moaned against her nipple.
He lifted himself to look down at her, his fingers still stroking her. “Say my name again.”
She smiled a slow, sultry smile. “Jake. Jake, please, come to me.”
The second time they orgasmed even more quickly than the first time—a feat neither of them thought possible.
Chapter Fifteen
Melanie stretched against the cool sheets, rolled onto her side, and blinked against the morning sun. She could hear birds chattering on the balcony, as if they were figuring out the day’s plan. The chirping almost lulled her back to sleep once again, but the nagging voice in her head chastised her. It was morning and time to be responsible again. Last night had been...well, she couldn’t pick just one word to describe it, but it made her practically giggle thinking about it again. Today was a day for clarification: This was a one-time event, and she was heading back to Chicago this evening. Surely Jake wouldn’t put up any arguments, but it could easily become an uncomfortable subject. She kept her back to him while she rehearsed several possible ways to approach the topic. She closed her eyes. Every segue seemed so lame to her.
She wondered if they had time to play around a bit more before her lunch meeting. No, better to shut that thought down before it went too far. If they started something today, she’d never make it to lunch on time. She probably wouldn’t get out of bed all day. Too bad. She wouldn’t mind doing a bit more exploring. If only she had one more night in town.
Her eyes flew open. Why not? She could change her plane ticket to the first flight out tomorrow morning and still make it to the office by noon. Plus, if she were in a hurry to get on the road in the morning, there wouldn’t be any long drawn-out anything. They could end it all quickly, with no one’s feelings getting hurt. She smiled and rolled over to share her idea with Jake.
Except Jake wasn’t in bed with her. A note on the pillow, written in a clear, confident hand, said, Here’s to experiencing new places.
She chuckled at the reference, then rolled her eyes as she got out of bed. So much for worrying about how best to end it. She could take a lesson from him. He clearly knew how to extricate himself from potentially difficult situations without upsetting the other party, a skill likely gleaned from lots of practice.
After glancing at the bedside clock, Melanie rushed to take a shower. It was almost noon—how had she slept so late? She’d have to hurry now if she wanted to get ready and checked out before meeting her father and Evelyn for lunch. She didn’t have time to consider the implications of Jake’s note. Or the lump of disappointment hiding in the back of her throat.
Melanie walked into the hotel restaurant a few minutes after 1:00, wearing khaki shorts and a cotton top. Still feeling slightly flustered from her race to get ready, pack her bags, and check out, she stood in the entryway, looking for her father. The wedding gift that she’d forgotten to leave at the party was clutched in her hands.
The restaurant was small, with only about ten tables that she could see, but they were all covered in white tablecloths and the room was tastefully decorated in a neutral palate of earthy gray tones, creating an upscale ambiance despite the loud conversations coming from
