A Reclusive Heart (Hollywood Hearts 2)

He kept his eyes locked with hers as he took her slowly, deeply and so darn perfectly that it wasn’t long before she was screaming her release against his hand.

He licked his lips as he watched her find her moment and when she was done he removed his hand and took her mouth in a hungry, wild kiss that had her wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging tightly against him.

“Love you, Jamie,” he groaned against her mouth as he found his release.

She was still clinging to him when the banging on the door started. Nick simply chuckled as she struggled not to die of mortification. That mortification only intensified when Nick picked up her panties and pocketed them.

When she arched a brow in demand and held out her hand he chuckled.

“Sorry, sweetheart, but I need these for another item on my list.”

“Planning on wearing them?” she asked teasingly.

He shook his head good naturedly as he fixed his pants. “No, I’m planning on having my wife wrap it around my c**k later and stroke me off,” he said with a wink as she struggled not to jump him again as the image of doing just that set her body on fire. That was definitely going on the list, she decided as she followed him out of the bathroom and past the short line or irritated passengers.

She stepped past Patti to get to her seat and ignored the woman’s pout. It wasn’t too hard to guess the reason behind the pout. She wanted Nick, but then again most women that met him did. As long as the woman respected the ring that Nick wore proudly on his finger then she was fine with the woman’s obvious crush.

Nick was hers and she never had to worry, because he never gave her a reason to worry. He loved her and she never had to question that. She also knew that he hated to be apart from her which was why whenever he had to go on the road he always brought her along. Rick didn’t seem to mind since she stayed out of Nick’s way and whatever author he was promoting. It also didn’t hurt that her book sales were still off the charts and of course she was working on a second book with Dana Pierce since the first one had broken sales records.

Life really couldn’t any better, she thought as Nick put her tray down and placed his laptop in front of her, already on the online Scrabble game. He placed his hand on her knee, gently caressing her skin as he spoke with Patti. As they went over the next week’s schedule she kicked some serious butt at Scrabble.

A little while later when he slipped her the chocolate bar he’d promised her she couldn’t help but smile. She had her dream job, a great mother, an incredible guy who spoiled her with chocolate. What more could a girl want? she thought as she leaned over and kissed Nick’s cheek. He immediately stopped talking to Patti to turn his head and brush a quick kiss against her lips before returning his attention back to Patti, picking up right where he left off.

It really didn’t get any better than this, she decided as she slipped another bite of chocolate in her mouth and took Nick’s hand into hers. She changed her opinion a moment later when Nick turned to whisper something in her ear.

“I love you, Jamie.”

Maybe being plain old Jamie wasn’t so bad after all, she thought with a smile.
