One Night Only

Chapter 22

Walking through the casino, I search for Michael but have no luck. I see a man with somewhat familiar face sitting at the bar. As I get closer, I realize he is one of the men that had breakfast with us when Owen and I stayed here. "Excuse me. Do you know where Michael is?" I ask.

"Depends on who you are," he says, not bothering to look at me.

I roll my eyes. "He knows who I am."

Glancing at me, he does a double take. "Oh, you're that girl that dated both Carter boys."

I sigh. "Will you take me to him or not?"

"Yeah," he says, standing up. "He just got back from visiting the Freemont house so he's relaxing."

He leads the way to the strip club where we find Michael sitting on one of the couches with a beer in his hand. When he sees me, he looks me over then smirks. "Damn, Madison. Even in sweatpants you're sexier than most of the women in here."

Rolling my eyes, I drop down on the couch beside him. "I'm flattered. Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"No."

He chuckles. "Doesn't it bother you to be around all of these half naked women?"

I tilt my head to the side. "I worked in a strip club."

"Oh yeah. So what can I do for you?"

"I need a place to stay for the night," I say.

He furrows his eyebrows in confusion. "What about the Bellevue house? Does Owen know you're here?"

"No and he's not going to find out. I just needed a night away."

"We don't have any open rooms. Do you need money for a hotel room?" he asks.

I shake my head. "Would it be okay if I stayed on your couch?"

"Of course," he says without hesitation. He hands me a key. "Help yourself to anything you want."

"Thanks, Michael. I appreciate it."

"No problem. Do you want to talk about anything?"

I shake my head. "Not tonight. Thanks though."

"No problem. Let me know if you need anything. And don't worry, I won't say anything to Owen."

"Thank you."

Standing, I exit the strip club, immediately ducking behind a machine when I spot Dominic talking to some men. One of them just happens to be the man I asked to take me to Michael. What the hell is he doing here? Peeking around the corner, I see the guy point towards the strip club. The person on the machine glares at me so I quickly walk away. Hoping Michael covers for me, I head upstairs to his room where I make myself comfortable on his couch.

With one final thrust, my body shatters into a million pieces as I call out his name. He is magnificent in bed. Dropping down beside me, we attempt to catch our breath. "Fuck, that was amazing. Do you know how many times I've imagined that?"

I smile, rolling my head to the side to see him. "You're incredible."

Pulling me to his side, he caresses my cheek. "What are we supposed to do now?"

"Go for round two."

He chuckles. "No, about Owen."

I sigh. "Dominic, he is the last person I want to think about right now."

"Baby, we don't have much time before he finds out. You have to make a decision soon."

"What options do we have?" I ask.

"We can run away together. I have money put away. Enough to go anywhere we want and get established there. You'll never have to see him again. It'll be just us."

I smile up at him. "I'm glad it was you who found me."

"Me too," he says, pressing his lips to mine. "I want to go exploring."

"Where? A new country or just another state?"

He shakes his head, rolling me onto my back and positioning himself between my legs. "I want to explore you."

Moving lower, he hooks his arms around my thighs and kisses up to the apex. Just as I feel his lips, everything gets brighter and I gasp. Looking around the room, I realize I am still in Michael's room. My heart is still racing from my exotic dream and I try to ignore the wetness between my thighs. I've never experienced such a vivid dream. And of all people, it was with Dominic. I place my hand on my forehead in confusion. It has to be because I'm so angry with Owen. I hear the door open so I sit up, making eye contact with Owen. Sighing in relief, he closes the door. I want nothing more than to relieve myself so I stand up, walking towards him. "Are you okay? You look -"

Pressing my lips to his, I cut him off. I rub my hand against his zipper, causing him to moan. He pulls away, looking at me in surprise. "I want you," I whisper.

"My room is across the hall," he says hurriedly, leading me out of the room.

A moment later, we are in his room and I close the space between us. He lifts me up, carrying me to the table in the dining room. He lays me across it, removing my sweatpants in one swift movement before pushing his pants down. Within seconds, he is buried inside me. Gasping, I grasp the edge of the table as he thrusts into me, hard and fast. "Fuck, Madison."

There's a knock on the door but both of us ignore it, our bodies climbing with each passing thrust. Moments later we find our release as the person outside the room begins pounding on the door. After a moment, he withdraws and pulls up his pants. Irritated, he walks to the door as I quickly stand up and pull up my sweatpants. I fix my shirt as he opens the door, spotting Michael and Dominic on the other side. Michael pushes past Owen with a couple bags in his hands and Dominic follows him in. A deep blush immediately forms on my cheeks and I quickly exit the room, heading into the bathroom. How can I face him after my dream?

When the door opens behind me, I turn around to see Owen. He closes the door behind him before continuing towards me. "He brought food."

"Okay," I say softly.

"So are you okay? When I woke up and you were gone I thought you had left me for good. But then you practically jumped me when I got here."

I shake my head. "I was just confused. I'll be alright."

"So you still want to go through with the wedding then?"

I nod. "Yes."

Sighing in relief, he wraps his arms around me, hugging me tightly. "Good. Tonight I'm taking you and Bryant home - to our actual house. Everything seems to be less complicated when it's just us."

That's one thing we can agree on. Pressing a small kiss to the corner of his mouth, I pull away from him. "Go eat. I'll be out in a second."
