“Dammit! Where the fuck did he go?” I ran a hand through my hair and let out an exasperated sigh. Somehow, Harley had gotten away from me again. One minute I was in his bathroom, the next, Harley was gone and he’d left his clothing on the bed. Now I was worried he was running around the hotel naked.
“Fuck,” Jinx sighed next to me. “We’ll split up? Maybe we’ll find him faster that way.”
“Okay.” I’d called Jinx the minute I realized Harley wasn’t in the room anymore. I was trying to keep him from drinking too much at the bar, but he was a slippery little shit.
We split up and I cased the bar again and then headed down to the lobby. Still no Harley. I crossed the hotel to the pool area and stepped through the gate. The pool lights were on and the hot tub was bubbling.
“Achilles?”
I turned my head to see Jayden Dempsey relaxing in the hot tub.
“You didn’t happen to see a half-naked Harley run by, did you?” I asked.
“That was Harley?” Jayden said in astonishment.
“Don’t tell him where I am!” Harley whispered loudly.
I exhaled in complete frustration and advanced on the lounge chairs. Harley darted out and I caught him easily.
“Let me go, ya big asshole!” Harley struggled in my grip.
“Okay.” I dropped Harley in the pool.
A pissed off Harley broke the surface, spitting water.
“Dammit! It’s cold! My buzz is gone!” Harley shouted.
“Get out of the pool, Harley,” I instructed quietly.
“Come and get me!” Harley crossed his arms and stared at me with an exaggerated pout.
Soft laughter met my ears and I turned to see Jayden at my side. He was trying to cover up his fit of laughter with his hand. I turned to him and cocked a brow.
“You want to join him?” I asked.
“Nope.” Jayden shook his head.
“If I have to come get you, Harley, it’s going to be a long night.” I folded my arms across my chest and glared at a shivering Harley in the pool.
“Fine!” Harley swam to the stairs and wobbled out of the pool. I strode over and grabbed a towel out of a nearby cabinet. I wrapped Harley up, rubbing his arms.
“There you are!” Jinx yelled as he entered the pool area. He stopped mid-stride when he noticed Jayden. “What are you doing out here?”
“I’m sorry, that’s your business why?” Jayden snapped.
I looked from Jayden to Jinx, and then to Harley. I put my arm around Harley’s shoulders and began walking.
“Night, Jinx,” I called out over my shoulder.
“Make sure he drinks water,” Jinx said.
I gave him a thumbs up and walked Harley back to his room. He was shivering, his teeth chattering so loud I thought they’d break. I opened his hotel room door and ushered him inside. Harley leaned against the wall, his buzz not quite gone completely.
“Achilles,” Harley slurred.
“Yes?” I grabbed a towel from the bathroom and then stood in front of him.
“I’m not a baby,” Harley pouted.
“You need to get in the shower, you’ve got goose bumps all over you and your teeth are chattering. Do I have to put you in there?”
“Nah, I’ll get in.” Harley threw the towel off and shoved his Speedos down to his ankles. He jerked around trying to get them off his ankles and then kicked them across the room. My eyes traveled south and that was when I got a good look at Harley’s dick. I almost swallowed my tongue. My head snapped up and I kept my eyes on his face as I tried to help him into the bathroom.
“You’re so tall,” Harley said as he stood in front of me. “And you have huge arms. Do you have huge feet, too?”
“I’m not sure what huge is, Harley.” I tried to maneuver him into the bathroom.
“You have to know how sexy you are. You know that, right?” Harley ran a hand down my chest and I backed up a bit.
“What did you drink tonight, Harley?” I asked as I pushed him into the shower.
“Don’t know.”
I leaned forward to turn on the water and Harley yanked me into him by my shirt. His lips crashed into mine, and then his arms wrapped around my neck. God help me, half of me wanted to devour him, and the other half…well, it wanted to devour him. In seconds, Harley had shimmied up my body and attached himself to me like a naughty, naked spider monkey. His teeth nipped at my lips until I opened up, and then he plunged his hot tongue into my mouth. I went from zero to sixty in one second, giving Harley as good as I was getting. A feral growl rose within me and I pinned Harley to the wall, ravishing his mouth. Our tongues dueled and moans reverberated around the bathroom as we went at each other like horny teenagers. My brain finally caught up with my mouth and I untangled myself from him. I couldn’t catch my breath and my dick was like iron in my pants.
