Devour Me, Baby(17)

Taking the towel from her neck, I wet it again and gently wiped her face. Her coloring was returning and little by little, she shifted her weight to stand on her own. I dumped the rest of the water and put mouthwash in the cup. Before I could lift it, she took it from me and rinsed her mouth with it on her own.

“Sorry,” she sighed. “I don’t handle travel very well. It doesn’t usually hit me quite that hard, but it’s been a long week.”

“Don’t apologize, baby,” I said gruffly, still watching her carefully in case she needed to be sick again.

She patted my hand on her hip before moving away. “I’m feeling much better now, I promise.”

I frowned and put my hand to her lower back as I guided her over to our seats. “I’m going to take you to the hotel to rest,” I said as I grabbed our carryon bags from the bin overhead.

She grumbled but I ignored her protests, leading her to the door and helping her down the steps. Another limo was waiting, and an airport employee was loading our luggage into the trunk while the limo driver held open the back door.

It wasn’t a long drive to the hotel, but it was certainly enough time for me to mull over a suspicion.



“Wow,” Sienna breathed as she wandered, wide-eyed, through our hotel suite. The room was huge, with a living area, full kitchen, and a master suite. She ducked her head into the bedroom and then faced me with a raised brow.

“Didn’t you book this right after we met?”

“Yes,” I answered as I prowled in her direction.

“Only one bedroom? Pretty presumptuous,” she stated sassily.

I grinned as I reached her and tugged her into my arms. “I knew you were the one for me the moment I met you, Sienna. It wasn’t presumptuous because I refused to accept any other outcome.”

She melted into me, and I sealed my mouth over hers in a deep kiss. My tongue slipped in to taste her and my hands dropped to her ass, pressing her tight against me. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to satisfy our craving for each other. I had to get to the studio for some meeting. I tore my mouth away and sighed, resting my forehead against hers.

“Why don’t you get some rest and if you’re feeling up to it, I’ll take you to dinner tonight.”

“Are you going to”—she winked at me seductively—“rest with me?” The situation in my pants became really hard to ignore. “I absolutely meant that the way it sounded.”

“You have no idea how badly I’d like to do just that, baby. But, I have to go to the studio for a while.”

“Oh.” She pouted adorably, but then her expression brightened. “I should go with you. I’m your assistant.”

I was shaking my head before she was done speaking. “No, you need to rest, baby.”

Her eyes narrowed, and I recognized the stubborn glint in her beautiful brown eyes. “I’m feeling just fine. Like I was never sick. I told you, it was just traveling. We’re here now, and it won’t happen again.”

I eyed her skeptically, but when she was tenacious like this, I had to pick my battles. “All right. But, I’ll be watching you closely and if I see the slightest indication that you aren’t feeling well, I’m sending you back to the hotel.”

She bit her lip as she contemplated, distracting me with my desire to bite it for her. “Okay, I’ll accept your terms, Mr. Walker. But, you owe me.” She flipped around and sashayed over to the low table in front of a couch. My eyes were already glued to her perfect ass, but then she bent over to pick up her purse and I almost lost control.

I debated just how important my meetings were. With a sigh, I tried to think about anything other than fucking Sienna because if I missed my meetings, I’d be in breach of contract.

Closing the gap between us, I smacked her ass as she stood. “Trust me, baby. I’ll more than pay up.”



“Jude,” I greeted the show’s producer as I shook his hand. I fought the temptation to squeeze it hard enough to break a few bones as he was staring at Sienna the whole time. Not sparing me a glance.

“And who is this exquisite creature?” he purred as he dropped my hand and grabbed hers, raising it up so he could kiss the back.

I snatched it away from him and put my arm around Sienna’s waist, hauling her into my side. “This is my assistant and fiancée, Sienna.” My voice held a clear warning, and he finally gave me his attention. He looked disappointed for a second, then smoothed over his expression. It wasn’t hard for him to do with all the Botox in his face.

Sienna’s lips were pressed together, practically forming a straight line. I was afraid he’d upset her until she raised her eyes to mine and I saw the laughter dancing in them.
