To her dismay it was crowded and noisy with cowboys from the rodeo. Many came to shake Burke’s hand. Finally, he led her out of the bar. “I’m sorry about that. How about a quiet drink in my room?”
“Privacy would be nice.” She nodded.
“I’ll be right back.” He went to the service desk and she watched as he gave them his credit card, signed something and got a room key.
They went to the elevator and Alice’s stomach felt full of butterflies. She wasn’t one to go with strange men to their rooms. She’d have to set him straight. No sex until marriage. It wasn’t that she didn’t have any experience but she wanted a ring on her finger this time.
“I thought you already had a room here.”
“I do but I was sharing with a couple other guys. We aren’t in the room much so we decided to share the cost. I got us a nice room, wait until you see it.”
His words made her feel special. A warm glow ran through her body. No one ever did nice things for her. He was the one, she knew it.
Burke opened the door and gestured for her to enter first. It was a nice room. She’d stayed in plenty before with her parents, but never with a man. Money didn’t matter to him.
“”I have wine and the mini bar is fully stocked. We even have chocolate covered strawberries. What would you like?”
Beer was her favorite but she needed to prove that she had class. “White wine would be perfect. Is there a chardonnay in there?”
He squatted down in front of the bar and her view was mouthwatering. He filled out his jeans like no other. His muscled thighs were evident as well as his perfect ass and her mouth went dry staring at him. He quickly stood and turned.
Alice could feel a blush cross her face as he handed her a glass of wine. What she wouldn’t give to wake up to him every morning. “Let’s check the view,” she suggested, walking to the ceiling to floor windows.
She could feel the heat of him as he stopped right behind her. She took a sip and sighed. Burke snaked his arms around her waist and kissed the side of her neck, sending shivers through her.
“Yes it is a nice view,” he commented before he blew in her ear.
Her breasts grew heavy and need pooled inside her. To hell with the wedding ring, she wanted him now.
