Trey’s hesitance, gave them both a hospitable smile and asked, “Would you like to change your reservation?”
“No,” Angel replied before Trey had a chance to. “It’s fine.”
Of course she wasn’t worried about their sharing a room. Hell, a bed. It was all part of her plan to have him school her in the ways of seduction. How he was going to share a bed with her and not give in to the desire to make love to her completely was beyond him.
Especially now that the woman from the plane had him noticing things about Angel he’d never given much thought to in the past. Her hair. Her eyes. Those full, pink lips.
“Excuse us a moment.” Trey caught Angel by the arm and pulled her aside. “Separate rooms.”
“Don’t be silly. How am I supposed to learn anything with you sleeping in another room?”
“We don’t have to share a room for me to teach you some things.”
The impish look that came into her eyes was nowhere near angelic. “I suppose you’re right. You can tell me all about pleasuring a man in your room or mine, the elevator for that matter. I hear that elevators–”
“Will you cut that out?” Trey demanded, biting back a groan. For someone who claimed to have very little experience in seducing a man, Angel was doing a damned good job of it right now. Here he was, standing in the middle of the extravagant lobby of the Luxor, his cock as stiff as the statues surrounding him.
Angel laughed softly. “Boy, are you touchy. I was just teasing you.”
She had no idea how successful she had been in her efforts. Trey raked a splayed hand through his hair with a muffled groan, trying damn hard to regain and maintain his usually calm demeanor, but it wasn’t happening.
“Sorry,” he managed. “Blame it on jet lag.”
“Trey, we were only in the air for a few hours.”
He wasn’t going to stand there and debate the reason for his moodiness. Not when there was a more pressing matter that needed taken care of.
“I think it would be best if we got two rooms. I’d pay for both, but I know yours is covered through the travel agency. I’ll take care of mine.”
“No, your coming along on this trip was my idea,” she told him. “And you already refused to let me pay for your flight. The least I can do is share my room with you.” Angel leaned in close and added with a grin. “I promise I won’t bite. That is, unless you want me to.”
She definitely didn’t need any lessons on seduction. She was killing him right there in the middle of a busy lobby. “Okay, Angel, you win.” He shifted, hoping she wouldn’t notice the erection he was sporting. He could do this. It was all a matter of self-control. Hopefully he still had some left.
“Good.”
“Stubborn woman.”
“Guilty as charged,” she chirped, seeming quite pleased with herself.
“But only if you agree that the meals while we’re here are on me.”
She thought about it for a moment and then nodded. “You’ve got a deal.”
Had he actually won that one? He smiled. “Glad to hear it.”
Her playful expression turned serious. “Trey...”
“Yeah?”
“I really want to thank you for doing this for me.”
“You’ve already thanked me.”
“I know, but I want to make sure you know how much your helping me out means to me. I couldn’t do this...be here with Rick this fam trip without you.”
“You would have done fine without me, but I’m glad to help out.” Angel was a good friend. No, she was his best friend, and she needed a favor. A big one, albeit, but he would do whatever it took to build up her sexual self-confidence and help her find the kind of guy she deserved. One who would treat her right both in the bedroom and out. He owed her that much.
Angel had been there for him when his mother died. And then when he was struggling to get his medical imaging company off the ground. Now he intended to
