The seminar was long and boring and Quinn was seriously
cranky. He did not want to go through another two days of sitting through
watching some stick-up-his-ass talk about shit he already knew. Margot paid
attention for the first half of it, but she started to get bored, also. And
when Margot gets bored, she fidgets. Quinn almost strangled her today. He
thought about many creative ways to end her fidgeting, many of them involved
duct tape. Duct tape was a man’s best friend after all... no wait, that was
dogs.
Once back at the hotel room, they decided to get room
service since neither of them felt like going back out. He changed into
sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a zip-up hoodie. He sat on the bed with his laptop
and went through his emails. Margot called room service with their dinner order
while he was changed. He watched her as she hung up the phone and moved around
the room.
She might have gotten on his nerves today, but he definitely
felt differently about her since they started this trip. He appreciated what
she did when he was strip-searched. It was humiliating enough to have to do it
and it would have been even worse if she had watched while he showed a couple
of dudes his asshole. Fucking TSA .
He was glad that she understood and turned around.
Then she came onto him last night and they ended up sleeping
together, and she was incredible. He couldn’t remember sex ever being that
good. She kept saying things in French, as if she couldn’t think straight
enough to speak in English. It was seriously sexy. Just thinking about how her
voice dropped to that husky murmur made him hard. When they talked afterward, she
was compassionate and understanding yet again. She didn’t ask a million and one
questions. She only asked the most important, and accepted the answers he gave
her.
So, now what? Did he want to pursue this to see where it
went? Should he just leave it alone and go back to being just coworkers? Quinn
really didn’t think that was possible. He wanted her too much, even when she
was getting on his nerves today. He caught a whiff of her perfume at one point
and was ready to shove her against the wall and take her in front of everyone.
He’s never had a woman affect him like this...ever.
The longest relationship Quinn has ever had was two months.
After a while, women got tired of having their questions ignored or brushed
off. Quinn wasn’t a big talker. He didn’t want someone he really didn’t care
that much about knowing his whole life story. He had a hard time trusting
people in general and most women had a hard time understanding why he didn’t
trust them enough to share his secrets. They also got tired of not knowing how
he felt. Quinn did not share his emotions. He wasn’t one to tell a woman how he
felt about her. His thought process was that if he was with her he obviously
liked her.
Margot bent over to grab something out of her suitcase, her
ass facing his direction. Quinn couldn’t help but stare, she had a fine ass. He
scrubbed a hand over his mouth to make sure he wasn’t drooling. He was just
about to act on the perfect opportunity when he remembered that he didn’t have
any more condoms. Dammit. He bet the little convenient store in the lobby had some. He could run down
there and probably be back before their food arrived. Quinn set his laptop on
the bedside table and grabbed his wallet, phone, and room key. He stood, shoved
everything in the pockets of his hoodie, slipped his sneakers on, and started
for the door.
“I’ll be back,” he said and walked out the door without
waiting for Margot’s response. He pulled out his phone and called Sebastian.
Most likely, a mistake, but whatever, he needed to talk to someone.
“Ribbit, ribbit.” Sebastian answered after the third ring.
Quinn laughed. “You are such a dick.”
Sebastian chuckled. “What’s up, little brother?”
Quinn rubbed the side of his
