CHAPTER 34

When they arrived on floor seven, Elijah brushed past her, eager to get to his room and take a very cold shower. But Starlight followed him down the hall until he reached his room. She went around him, to the door next to his.

“Well… Looks like we’re neighbors,” she said, smiling his way.

He nodded stiffly, trying not to think about the fact that she’d be so close. His hands fumbled with his card key, dropping it. Starlight smiled and disappeared into her room.

“Dammit,” he growled, picking up his key and resting his forehead on the hotel room door.

She’d gone off to California and hung out with firemen? And did tequila shots? And who knows what else…! And then she came back wearing… what she was wearing.

Elijah adjusted himself, his erection pressing against his already fitted pants. He tried his key. It didn’t work.

“What the hell…”

He tried again. Still nothing. Elijah punched the wall.

“Dammit!” he bit out, then stared at her door.
