Code Name - Rook (Jameson Force Security 6)

“Now, as much as I think both of us would be fine with staying in this bed for the rest of the evening, I did promise to show you Sin City.”

I twist to look out the windows of our hotel suite. It’s dusk. Soon, the city will be all aglow. Cage had to attend his seminar in the morning, but he snuck out to have lunch with me. When he came up to the room, he kissed me hard, and we ended up in bed. That was hours ago, and we haven’t left.

Lunch was room service, eaten in bed. He assured me that he wouldn’t get in trouble for missing the rest of the seminar, and one of his coworkers would cover for him.

“So you’re suggesting we leave this room?” I ask, running my finger down his chest. Yes, I do want to see Vegas. But honestly, I’d be fine staying here too.

“Yes,” he says emphatically. “My girl asked to see Vegas, and I’m going to give her what she wants. But there’s just one thing you have to abide by.”

Laughing, I ask, “What’s that?”

“You have to be wild tonight, Jaime,” he teases me, but the glint in his eyes is pure mischief. “We hold nothing back tonight. Deal?”

I grin. “Deal.”

“Then let’s get showered, gussied up, and hit the town,” he replies, rolling out of bed and dragging me along behind him.CHAPTER 14CageI glance at my watch, noting the time of 1:47 AM. I look up at Jaime, who is currently dancing on top of our table in a nightclub we’d stumbled into half an hour ago.

And she is dancing all kinds of nasty, and I’m fucking turned on as hell as she lifts her hair up and gyrates her hips. I knew she was sexy, but that knowledge came from our adventures in bed. Seeing her in a tiny dress with lots of leg and even more cleavage showing, I realize I actually like this side of her.

Of course, it took copious amounts of alcohol to get her brave enough to let her hair down, so to speak. We had a nice dinner before jumping around the casinos and nightclubs, then walked the Strip. Each place we went into, we had a drink, and I feel slightly guilty that Jaime’s going to be hungover as hell tomorrow.

But she’s having a great time right now.

When the song ends, she laughs, gazing down at me. “I’m a spectacle, aren’t I?”

“The best kind,” I assure her, holding my hands out. She squats, letting me take her by the waist, and I lift her down from the table. She slides down my body, gliding her hands through my hair before letting her own head fall back.

She laughs again, a beautiful sound, and exclaims, “I’m having the best time.”

“I’m glad,” I say, pulling her upright so I can press a kiss to her mouth.

“Let’s have another drink,” she suggests, and I glance at my watch. I mean, why the hell not? This is Vegas, and we technically shouldn’t be crawling back to our hotel until at least daybreak. Which is fine… we’re taking a late flight back to Pittsburgh.

“Okay.” I bend to give her a serious look. “But you’re going to drink some water, too.”

“Anything you say, baby,” she replies with a goofy grin.

I’m able to snag the attention of a waitress, and I order another vodka tonic for Jaime and a Jack and soda for myself. We sit at a small table away from the dance floor, our chairs next to each other.

Reaching out, I take Jaime’s hand in mine and bump my shoulder against hers. “I’m glad you’re having a good time.”

“The best,” she replies. “Although, I heard there were sex clubs here that were a lot of fun. Maybe we should hit one of those up next.”

I almost choke on my own tongue at her mention of going to a sex club because I’ve actually spent a lot of time in one right here in Vegas called The Wicked Horse. But there is no way in fuck I’d ever bring Jaime to a sex club because there is no way in fuck I’d ever let another man even look at her naked body.

It’s a realization that strikes at me hard because it’s the first time it hits me that I’m actually feeling proprietary about her. A total first for me, yet I don’t begrudge the feeling. In fact, it’s just more confirmation I’m in deep with this woman.

“Penny for your thoughts,” Jaime quips with a giggle, leaning her face in closer to mine.

I smile. “I was just thinking how great you are, how lucky I am to be sitting here with you right now, and how there is no way in hell I’m ever taking you to a sex club.”

Jaime slumps as her expression melts into a gooey smile of affection. “Awww… Cage. That’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said.”
