I sighed, wrapping my arms around her and drawing her against my chest, letting the water rain down over us as we just stood there in silence for a while.

I helped her wash her hair once we pulled apart, just needing to keep touching her. As much as I wanted to sink inside her, it felt like the wrong time.

We’d just gotten dried and dressed when the bathroom door opened and chatter filled the room, so I grabbed our things and unlocked the shower stall to step out. The chatter died down when the girls started noticing me, and Claire scoffed as Rory moved into view too.

“Seriously? You can’t even shower alone?”

“Eat shit,” I bit out, grabbing Rory’s elbow to tug her towards the door.

“Don’t push me, Caden. I could destroy you,” she spat, making me halt as I turned to face her.

“I highly doubt that. Feel free to try though,” I said in a low voice, satisfaction rolling through me as her eyes widened a fraction.

Claire’s family might have been a big deal in the hotel world, but they were piss ants compared to mine. None of her connections would go up against the Holloway name, we were bigger than all of them.

Besides, the Davidsons were friends with Mom, so they wouldn’t allow their daughter to fuck up their business relationships.

Rory got tired of our stand-off and left the room, giving me no choice but to follow her if I wanted to keep her in my sights.

The guys were waiting outside the door, giving me an annoyed look for what they assumed we’d been doing. Usually, I would’ve been doing everything in my power to get Rory naked in there, so I totally understood their annoyance.

“Let’s all head to mine. Rory, did you want to go with Luke?” I asked, and Jensen gently tugged her against him.

“Can I go with him? You can drive the Camaro back for me,” he offered, Rory’s eyes flicking to Lukas’ to make sure he was okay with it. When he nodded, she relaxed.

“Sure. Stay close to us though, okay? No pulling over to talk today,” she warned, both of them agreeing before we all headed outside to the parking lot together.

Jensen handed Rory his keys and headed off with Lukas, leaving Tyler to climb into the back of the Camaro while Rory and I got in the front.

“So, what did you guys get up to last night?” Tyler grinned as he leaned between the seats, smacking a kiss on Rory’s cheek as she started the car.

“Seat belt,” she ordered, turning her head to kiss him quickly. “And it’s none of your business.”

“Aw, c’mon. Give me something,” he whined as he sat back to do as he was told.

“They rocked my world. Skeet likes being the boss, and Lukas likes guidance. Use your imagination,” she said dryly, intriguing me.

“Luke let Skeet boss him around?” I asked, a little surprised.

“Yes. It was hot,” she smirked, putting the car in reverse to back out of the parking space.

“I’d let Skeet tell me what to do to you. Does he get all growly about it?” Tyler asked as he bounced in his seat.

“You’ll find out when you fuck me with him one day,” she said in a low tone that made my cock hard. As much as I liked being in charge in the bedroom, sometimes the idea of being watched and told what to do was appealing.

Sometimes, I wanted to punch Skeeter for it.

CHAPTER SIX

RORY

“Girl, this place is fucking ridiculous,” Mule said flatly as she climbed out of her car and slammed the door, looking around the yard with her nose wrinkled.

“You don’t know the half of it. I have to fight people to make my own coffee,” I sighed, bumping knuckles with her as she joined me at the bottom of the stairs.

“How awful. Are you okay over here? Need me to kidnap you?” she asked seriously, eyeing the fountain in the middle of the driveway.

I laughed, heading up the stairs towards the door.
