"Are you tired?" he asked

She nodded

"Don’t think I’et to my room"

"I’m sure you’ll find a way to keep me awake," she said with a smile

He loved her smile It made her inquisitive brown eyes crinkle at the corners

"That sounds like a challenge"

When the elevator stopped, Owen placed a hand on Caitlyn's lower back and directed her toward his room He remembered a time when all five members of the band had to share one seedy hotel rooo, but they'd been closer then souys shared one bathrooroupies between them

Owen opened the door and Caitlyn entered his hotel room without hesitation She was already comfortable in his presence, trusted hiht Wondered if she'd stick around after the concert the next night and get to know hi behind her, Orapped his arms around her and unbuttoned the three leather-covered buttons of her tweed jacket He pulled the gar area just inside the door

"Do you alear suit jackets in the suentle kiss on the side of her neck

"I’m usually indoors, so yeah Otherwise, I freeze in the AC"

He didn’t plan on letting her freeze tonight

She dropped her head to the side, allowing him to explore the silky flesh of her throat with his lips

"Owen?" His name was like a soft caress on her lips

"Yes?"

"I feel like I've known you for a long time Has it really only been a few hours?"

"I knohat youto sample more of her flesh "Tell me about your business"

She hesitated and then lifted her hands to help him untie the bow at her neck "Now? But what I do isn’t sexy I want to feel sexy when I’m with you"

He kissed her ear and lowered his hands to cup her brsts He squeezed gently "I always think you're sexy," he pro me about yourself"

"Like I said, ork on alternative foreek" She giggled

"Are you sharing soht I didn’t already know?"

She slapped his thigh "You think I'eek I think it's sexy"

She shook her head "You're a weird guy, Owen Mitchell"

"Are you co that I think you're sexy?" He reached for the top button of her blouse and unfastened it

"No I'm not sure I believe you What can possibly be sexy about a woman who is more interested in the flow of electrons than she is in her hair?"

"I love your hair" Thick, black, and lustrously wavy

"That's because I actually co it up"

He unfastened another button on her blouse and then another She seemed content to fall silent as he slowly unbuttoned her shirt and tugged it free of her jeans He tossed it aside on the sofa as well His hands moved to cup both brsts, and he kissed the side of her neck until so ck against her sweet ass in case she didn't trust his words He'd been with a lot of women, but this one pushed every one of his buttons, and he was ready to launch into orbit
