Unbroken

Now.

Now what? I just broke all the rules sleeping with a guest. I was sure to get fired after tonight, I’m sure more than Stephan saw me leave with Dane. After catching our breath, Dane planted a soft kiss in the middle of my forehead as he backed away into the adjacent bathroom. He left the door ajar as he turned on the shower. I was tempted to follow him and continue what we just started. I gotta get my head on straight, Kai probably has no idea where I am and has to be worried. I turn in the dark towards the nightstand where I see my phone screen brightly lit. 8 missed calls from KB?.

Shit. I flick through the multiple paragraph long text from her demanding to know if I was ok and the last to let me know she was going to be in the hotel late cleaning up and to call her ASAP. The clock read 9:00PM but my body felt like it was 3AM. Kaiden’s party was over but i was sure most of the guests would have stuck around for a drink or two. I roll over with the sheets pulled over my chest to call my bestie. I didn’t want her to send out a search party to find me shacked up with our client.

“Heyyyyyyyyyy…” I say as Kai answers her phone after the first ring.

“Emmaline Alder I could KILL you! Where are you?!”

“Ummm I’m with Dane..”

I could hear Kai choke on whatever she must have been drinking..

“Are you in his room right now? Is he there?” She seemed a little less angry with me and a lot more intrigued.

“More like in his bed.. it all happened so fast Kai.” I was so embarrassed. What kind of floosey gives it up on the first date? Could I even call it that? We barely spoke, it was purely carnal from the start.

“I’m down at the hotel bar with Daphne, get dressed and get down here. You missed all the kiddie stuff it’s time to throw a few back babe.”

She was with Daphne?

I fumble out of the bed and grab my dress from the floor by the bed. I guess this was my only choice at this point. I walk into the bathroom and into the bright harsh lights my eyes weren’t quite ready for. My eyes were always sensitive to the light and they forced themselves shut as soon as I stepped through the doorway. I felt a hand reach for my lower back as Dane pulled my body into his. Both of my hands gripped his chest as he leaned down crashing his lips into mine. My fingers dug into the hair of his chest as he reached down to grab my ass with both hands. If I didn’t stop this now I knew I never would. I slowly broke away from his lips and looked up to meet his eyes. The grey was fading back into that perfect happy shade of blue but I could feel his sadness as I pulled away.

“I told Kai we would meet her and your sister downstairs. If we keep this up I doubt we will leave this room ever again.” I sigh.

“I already stood her up once tonight, the least I can do is have a drink on her dime.” I giggle seeing his face lighten up. He let me freshen up alone so I could try and compose myself. My hair actually didn’t look to bad and my makeup was easily fixed. The only problem was the dress, I couldn’t zip it up by myself.

I stepped out of the bathroom to find Dane back in the black dress pants and shirt purposely leaving the top two buttons undone. His hair was a little damp but perfectly tousled.

“I need your help getting back into this thing,” I say looking down as I do my best to cover my breast’s with my arms. He smirked as he strode toward me from across the room. He grabbed both sides of my hips and twisted me around. I let my arms relax and pull the top around my chest pulling the sides toward the back so he could zip me up. He wrapped both hands around the small part of my waist below my breasts and cupped them as he slid his fingers back to zip the top shut. He did that on purpose, two can play that game. I slowly bend over at my waist pushing my ass into him. He grabbed around my waist as I stepped into my skirt and pulled it up just below my top. I held it together as his took his time zipping it from the base of my back sending shivers up my spine. Damn he’s good, I clearly can’t beat him at his own game.

“Ready?” I ask as I turn to face him.

“If your ready I’m ready my queen.” He bowed to kiss the top of my head as he grabbed my right left hand to lead me out of the room. It was then I realized I was barefoot.

“s**t Kai’s shoes!” I froze trying to remember anything before our time in bed together.

“It looks like my guards brought them in babe,” he pointed towards the burly men at the suite doors, one of which was holding a pair of heals.

“Thank you..” I say sheepishly as Dane takes my heals from his guard and hands them to me. I slip them both on and watch as Dane bends to clasp each strap around my ankles. He softly brushed his finger up my calf to reach the top of the slit in my dress mid thigh. I was starting to wonder if I was ever not going to feel the sparks between us.

We made it down to the lobby bar without much talking. I was pretty much glued to him the entire elevator ride as he massaged every inch of me within his reach.

‘DING’

I step forward out of the elevator trying to catch my breath. Dane followed grabbing my hand as we walked towards Kai and Daphne sitting extremely close at the dimly lit bar top. Daphne head shifted in our direction. She stood and waved us over.

“Hey you two!” She winked at Dane with a twinkle in her eye and a smile plastered on her innocent face.

“Kaia,” he nodded in her direction. “Daph..” he rolled his eyes playfully at his sister. She seemed to be his perfect opposite. He was strong and serious while she was sweet and bubbly. Kaia pulled me into a side hug.

“First drink is on me Em!” Kai raised her right hand signaling the bartender to come over to us. Dane stepped forward, “Put everything on my tab,’ he said while sliding a black credit card across the bar to the bartender. He nodded and asked us what we wanted.

“Corona with lime please and Em always gets a rum and coke, is that what you want Em?” She turned to look at me.

“Sounds perfect make it a double.” I needed it.

“Strawberry Daiquiri for me please extra whipped cream.” Daphne’s drink order was just as cute as she was. She must have just turned 21 because she definitely looked young. Dane ordered a Gin and tonic and the bartender quickly started making the drinks. Dane ushered us to a nearby semi-circle booth in the darkest corner of the bar area. Kai and I slid in first letting Daphne on the end next to Kai and Dane on the opposite end by me. For the next 3 hours we talked and laughed like old friends. I never felt so relaxed in a social setting all while being quietly groped under the table. We talked about our childhoods, theirs extremely different than mine. The more drinks I had the easier everything became to understand. As the bartender yells last call I feel all of our moods sour. I don’t think anyone wanted this night to end.
