One Wild Night (Hollywood Chronicles #1)(29)

“Pax,” she growls as I slide into her. I take it slow with Kaylee this morning, exploring every inch of her beautiful body as I make love to her. I make a note to touch every crevice, every soft, supple inch of her skin as we connect. Never have I wanted to take my time like this before, memorizing every single curve of this beautiful woman’s body.

Most women satisfied an immediate need for me. A quick roll in the sheets, a means to an end. I got off, they left. End of the story. With Kaylee it’s different. I never want it to end. I can’t get enough of her. What the hell is she doing to me?

As we climax together, I can feel our hearts beat wildly against each other’s chests.

“Kay,” I mumble against her neck as my lips pull gently at her soft flesh as I try to catch my breath.

“Hmm,” she answers in response, her own breathing labored.

“Thank you for coming to London with me.”

She doesn’t answer, but I can feel her smile against my shoulder as we both come down from our climaxes. I know she’s nervous as hell about being here with me, about us, but I can’t imagine being anywhere without her.



“Where are we going?” Kaylee smiles as I pull her quickly through the hotel lobby, hoping we go unnoticed. Kenneth sent a car and security detail for us, along with an agenda outlining everything we’ll be doing for the next eight hours. I plan to show Kaylee everything London has to offer.

“You’ll see when we get there,” I pull her in tightly next to me, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. I nod at the driver waiting in the carport with the backdoor of the large suburban open and waiting for us to slide into.

Once inside, we meet the two burly men who will tag along with us today.

“Paxton.”

I reach out and shake each man’s hand.

“William.” The first man introduces himself with a firm handshake.

“Michael.” The second does the same.

As he pulls from the curb, Michael goes over their plan for keeping us safe, but not smothering us, and I’m so appreciative that Kenneth thought to get us security. I want to spend my day focusing on Kaylee, not worrying about any shenanigans happening around us.

“No autographs today. No selfies. No fan pictures,” I tell them. “I just want to spend the day with Kaylee and feel normal for once.”

Kaylee squeezes my hand, and I take a deep breath. Each man nods in understanding, and I feel comfortable that they know how to handle all the “celebrity baggage” that always accompanies me.

“Pax,” Kaylee gasps, her face pressed up against the tinted window. “It’s a Ferris wheel!”

“Oh, sweetheart, it’s more than a Ferris wheel. Just wait.” The driver pulls up and parks as William and Michael exit first. We follow suit just as another man rushes over. Neither William or Michael blink at the man who extends his hand in greeting to me.

“Paxton Myles, I’m Rob Doherty, your tour guide for today.” Right, tour guide. I remember seeing something in Kenneth’s message that we’d have a tour guide. “We’ll be starting here at the London Eye, and I have a couple of other amazing things to show you.” He extends his arm toward the giant wheel, guiding us toward the entrance.

As we approach the area to board, Rob continues, “The Eye is all yours for the next hour. No one will be in your capsule, or any other capsule. The most magnificent views of London you’ll ever see. Be sure to look for The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, The Tower Bridge, and of course the River Thames.” His smile is huge and infectious and Kaylee’s matches.

He steps inside the capsule to point out a table that has been set up with champagne and orange juice. “Enjoy champagne or mimosas while you’re up there, but mostly enjoy the view. It’s spectacular!” He steps out of the capsule while they close the door and Kaylee stands speechless.

“You okay?” I give her hand a gentle squeeze. “Please tell me you’re not afraid of heights.” I chuckle, but panic for a quick moment, having not even considered asking her prior to booking this. She looks up at me, her eyes wide, her face somber.

“Paxton Myles, I can’t even believe you’ve gone through the trouble of doing this for me. It’s too much, it’s too…” She pauses, blinking as she takes in the surroundings. Clearing her throat, she looks back up at me. “It’s too amazing.” She takes a deep breath as the capsule jolts slightly as we begin to rise. “And no, I’m not afraid of heights.”

I pull her into my arms, and she wraps hers around my waist in return. I could get used to this. Her next to me…all the time. Her cheek pressed to my chest as the capsule rises slowly and we take in all of London’s beauty.

It takes about an hour to make two full rotations. I made sure to point out all of the landmarks that Rob mentioned for us to look for, and Kaylee was fascinated. Her eyes beamed in awe, and it was so fucking cute when she’d laid eyes on all these pieces of London’s history while sipping on champagne.

As we disembark the London Eye, Rob, William, and Michael wait for us and lead us back to the Suburban.

“Was it everything you’d hoped it would be?” Rob asks Kaylee.

“More.” She looks up at me. That’s exactly how I felt as well. While seeing London is amazing, it’s Kaylee that makes it better.
