I pressed my lips to his, though he only complied for a moment so he could look at my body again. I was completely naked, and he hadn’t even removed his suit jacket. It felt like such a dirty act in a hotel room in broad daylight. “Do you come on all your first dates?” he asked, eyes narrowed but full of heat on my body.
