“I do,” I said. “I’ve never seen half those guys warm up to anyone the way they warmed to you. You even charmed their wives, which is no easy task.”
Julie shrugged again but didn’t get a chance to respond. There was a loud knock on the door, so I gently pushed Julie off my chest and hopped out of bed. Throwing a robe around me, I hurried over and opened the door.
“Room service?” the man said.
“Yes, thank you.” I stood back and let him wheel the cart inside.
I grabbed my wallet off the table and tipped him, smiling and ushering him quickly back into the hall. Julie was still in bed, hidden under the covers but naked. I didn’t want him to catch a glimpse of something he shouldn’t. She was all mine.
“Hungry?” I asked, pushing the cart closer to the bed.
Julie laughed. “Yes and no. I feel like I could throw up.”
“You need food,” I said. “We both do.”
Julie nodded and groaned. She sat up just enough that the sheets slid off her breasts. My eyes flew immediately to her bare skin, and I felt my dick twitch. Just one look was enough to remind me of how it felt to be with her last night.
We had collided like animals the night before, but it was the most intensely intimate experience of my life. When I saw her naked breasts, I couldn’t help but want to relive every moment of the previous night.
“I thought you wanted to eat,” Julie said, shooting me a sly grin as she grabbed a muffin off the cart.
“I do,” I said roughly. “Just not breakfast.”
Julie took a bite of the muffin but kept her eyes locked on mine. My skin felt hot as I climbed back on the bed beside her. We were so close that my heart began to pound in my chest. My hangover was forgotten. All I wanted was Julie.
“Are you going to kiss me or not?” she asked softly, putting the muffin back down.
I grinned and moved closer. Our lips were inches apart when my phone rang sharply on the bedside table. I dropped my head to my chest and groaned.
“Not now,” I mumbled.
“Work?” Julie asked.
“Probably.”
I grabbed the phone and answered it without looking at the caller ID.
“Hello?”
“Hey, brother.” Josh’s voice filled my ear, and I blinked.
“Hey,” I said. “I didn’t expect to hear from you today.”
“I thought we could plan dinner,” Josh said. “You said I could meet this mystery girl sometime soon.”
As he spoke, memories from the party came flooding back. Josh texting me about meeting my new girlfriend. Julie agreeing to meet him. Me agreeing to the whole thing.
“Oh,” I said. “Right.”
“So,” Josh said. “What about tomorrow night? Does that work for you guys?”
“Um.” I looked at Julie nervously. She was watching me closely, a confused frown on her face. “Do you want to have dinner with my brother tomorrow night?”
“Sure,” Julie said, looking a little surprised. “It’s fine with me.”
“She said yes,” I told Josh.
“Great!” Josh said. “Well, I’ll text you the details.”
