Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 290 - Desensitized to Charm

His eyes were dark, a delicious shade of dangerous and thrill. How she wanted to kiss him. "I'll be here for a couple of days. What about you?"

"Three days to go," she said. She had forgotten how to breathe when his voice was husky like that.

"Let's go out every day, then." 3 dates, that's how much they could fit into that time frame.

Was he really playing that game? Like they had just started dating and couldn't touch each other? She wanted to scream at him to press her up against a wall and just take her already.

She swallowed her cool drink and met his eyes. "I'll see if I have time for you."

Apart from the post championship convention and the panels she wanted to attend, she would be staying in the hotel. It was a surprise that he had come to see her, so she could spend her time productively.

"What about I plan all the dates and we have some fun." He had always wanted to date her. Like, out in public, holding hands and doing things that other couples do. Not just staying indoors all the time.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"Yes," she whispered, staring at his lips.

He caught the smirk that was about to escape. Clearly, she was thinking of some other sort of hunger. One he knew he could satiate but chose not to bring up. "Let's eat some Italian cuisine for a change..."

She smiled sweetly.

"Oh, you are really trying hard to woo me, Mr. Cavanaugh." He shrugged. He wanted to give her the normal experience. Just because he was a star, he didn't want to keep her locked inside, scared of the paparazzi. She didn't deserve that.

On the other hand, Katherine was having the opposite thought. She didn't need any of this. As long as he was by her side, she would be fine with wherever they were.

Katherine really didn't want to get up that early in the morning, but she opened her eyes and blinked at the soft light that filtered through the curtain in her hotel room.

As she grew alert, she gasped and closed her eyes yet again. Turning her head to the side, she slowly opened one eye and sighed.

It had been a dream. The place beside her was empty. Maybe she had cooked up the idea that Cage would take a couple of days off from shooting and come to her to spend time. Who was she kidding. He didn't have time for that.

She sat up on her bed, her eyes darting to the dress discarded on the chair at the foot of the bed. it was the same baggy top she had worn in her dream. She looked to the side where the other dress still hung.

Ah, so it had really happened. Well, some of it. She had obviously dreamt up the part where she pulled him into the hotel elevator. It would also seem that he had pressed her up against the elevator wall and kissed her senseless in the dream.

He had proceeded to drag her to her hotel room and commanded her to open the door. On going inside, they had kissed feverishly. But dream her hadn't remembered that he didn't know which room she was staying in. She had never told him. All she knew in her dream was her legs in the air and his h.i.p.s thrusting into hers.

She groaned as she rolled over, hiding her face in the pillow and letting out a groan of frustration. All a glorious fantasy that left her aching. If she had asked him, he would have definitely come up with her. There was no doubt in her mind that they would have gone all the way and not looked back. But he had wanted to date her.

And no one slept together until the third date. Katherine also felt that it was important.

She shook her head. She knew that she was getting a tad bit clingy when it came to Cage.

In actuality, they had walked their way back from the hotel parking lot, circled the hotel many times, fingers entwined together, softly smiling and talking about their day. Even though their pace had been slow, the walk seemed to have flashed by in no time.

She had desperately wanted to ask him to follow her and she could see that he was trying his best to hold back his needs. He had taken her face in his palms, softly sighing as his thumb caressed her cheek. His eyes were conflicted. He kissed her slowly, letting the heat build. His fingers skimmed over her shoulder and down her arms until his warm fingers were teasing hers, asking for permission to hold them again.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he mumbled against her lips.

"Mm," she replied. She didn't know what she was agreeing to, but he could have asked anything and she would have jumped and said yes. He clearly knew what was going on in her mind as she felt him smirk against her mouth. He planted a few more sweet kisses before stepping back.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he said with more finality this time. She nodded and that was the end of their night together.

Katherine groaned as she flopped back onto the bed. She bit her lips, trying to hide the grin no one would be able to see. How did he always do that to her? How long would it take for her to finally become desensitized to his charms?

No, she had to concentrate. She was here for work. She had to open her laptop and edit the footage from the first day of the championship and send it out to the universe. She had promised her followers for a day on day update.

After a couple of hours of editing, she shut her laptop. She checked her social media to find innumerous comments about the emergency video she had put out and the pole. They were all messages asking her about how the date went.
