Sinful (Restless Nights) by Mila Elizabeth Brenton Read Free Book Online

chuckled . “Still wouldn’t be able to find good actors.”
    Cole grunted his agreement . I assumed it was his agreement. It was hard to say with him. Cole didn’t say another word as he focused back on the stage where Laura had taken a seat and commanded the audience’s attention. She gave a sugar sweet and sultry smile then started in on her reading.

    “Do you want me to go back to my room?”
    I stepped from the bathroom, toothbrush in hand and looked at her sitting in the bed. The covers pulled to her chest.
    “Why?”
    She titled her head , a softness shining from her eyes. “Because you’re going out with the boys.”
    “And?” I prompted.
    She sighed . “Do you want to leave me in your room while you go out?”
    I went back to the bathroom rinsed my mouth and stalked to the bed. “Why? Are you going to snoop or steal something?”
    She harrumphed at me and gave a slightly irritated look. “Of course not.”
    “Then why would I want you anywhere but right here.”
    I leaned over her, pushing her back against the soft mattress, my hands landing on the pillow caging her. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. It was a move that had me hard in seconds. I groaned and pulled back, knowing if I didn’t move away I was going to rip the covers away and devour her.
    She laughed as I put space between us. Settling on the small couch , I grabbed my shoes and finished getting ready to go.
    “I need a room key ,” she said quietly.
    I grabbed the spare, shaking it so she would see it , and dropped it into her purse.
    “Why wouldn’t you just hand it to me?”
    “If I go over there, the last thing that will be on my mind is the fact that I am going to be late and that I have to walk out that door.”
    She gave a rueful smile and shifted onto her knees then let the sheet slither down her body. She tilted her head. Giving me sad eyes and pouty lips, she asked , “So you’re not going to kiss me before you leave?”
    A h hell , I was going to kiss every inch I could get my lips on.

    Mmm, every sinful touch was worth us both being late. For the second time in one day Laura was waiting on me . Not good. Still worth it, though. I thought ruefully.
    I smiled apologetically as I slid into the seat across from her. “Sorry, sorry.”
    She arched a brow, her green eyes surveying me as she took a slow sip from her glass of wine.
    “You’ve got a hickey on your shoulder.”
    “He better not have left a hickey on me.” My eyes snapped to my bare skin as I tried to see what she was talking about. My eyes narrowed as I saw no blemish on my skin.
    She smiled, a sparkle in her green eyes. “Well now I know why you’re late. It’s a good reason.”
    “There’s no mark?”
    “No,” she said with a satisfied smile, “but if you had been late for any other reason you wouldn’t have franticly tried to find one.”
    “You’re such a bitch.”
    “True.” She smiled broadly. “It’s part of what I love best about myself.”
    I scoffed , “I bet.”
    “So… ,” she took another sip of wine and tried for a detached manner, “who was the guy with him today?”
    Oh this could be good, Laura had spotted Cole .
    “Oh shit ,” I laughed, reaching for my own glass that she had thoughtfully ordered for me. “That would be Cole.”
    Her face sparked with recognition. “ You’re kidding? That was the hot friend?”
    I nodded.
    “Wow, so his pictures were real, huh?”
    “I guess so. You want me to play matchmaker ?”
    She laughed . “That or hook up service. I’d take him for a test drive.”
    “Well , considering he didn’t take his eyes off you during the reading, I think it’s safe to say he’ll let you test drive all you want.”
    Her eyes took on an impish glint. “ They’re at a bachelor party. Right?”
    “I am not crashing James’ bachelor party.”
    “Oh , yes you are.” She reached across the table, snagging my
