Chapter Thirty-One - Ready for an undisturbed sleepover.

Paxton

I am lying in my hotel bed. We had not long arrived back from dinner and drinks. Thankfully, we managed to get dinner without any media around. The restaurant was fantastic, not only the food but the staff too. They took great care of us. I plan on heading to Kenna’s room soon. We just wanted to make sure Carter is sleeping and doesn’t come hang out at one of our rooms.

I would give him half an hour before sneaking to Kenna’s room. I just hope she doesn’t fall asleep on me since she seems to be in love with her bed. I am going through the photos from this afternoon and tonight. I took a lot, mostly of Kenna, but I made sure not to make it obvious to Carter. I have got some of the three of us and of Kenna and me. I smile as I swipe through them. She looks beautiful and happy in them. No, I need to stop all of this. I am acting like a smitten boyfriend, and I am not. I am nowhere close to it. I close my eyes and sigh. I lock my cell and toss it aside.

I pull my ass out of bed and change into joggers and a tee. The only place I plan on going tonight is across the hall. I made sure the rooms were booked so Kenna’s wasn’t next to mine or Carter’s. I don’t know how thin the walls are, and I did not want to risk Carter hearing us. He is two doors down from me, and Kenna is across the landing and three doors down. There is a decent distance between the rooms to be safe.

I stand by the window and enjoy the beautiful view of the city. The skyline is stunning. I miss the city, but I don’t miss all the people in it who won’t leave me alone.

I reach for my cell and text Kenna.

Hey, are you still awake? Do you think it is too soon for me to come over? Xx

Even if Carter woke up and came to one of the rooms, we could just tell him we were hanging out. It isn’t like he would think any different because he believes I would never show interest in his little sister. It would be different back in the house. It would be hard to explain if he walked in and we were snuggled up in bed.

I am for now. I don’t know for how much longer, though lol. Just come over right now xx

Okay, dimples, I will be there in a few minutes xx

I make sure I lift my room key and cell before leaving and heading straight to hers. I text her to open the door in case my knocking disturbs anyone, including Carter. She answers straightaway, and I rush inside.

Kenna closes the door and turns to face me. I reach for her instantly and grip her hip, pulling her to me. I go straight in for a kiss. I haven’t had one all day. Kenna doesn’t seem to have an issue and kisses back. We smile into it and part after a moment.

“I thought there was a high chance you would have fallen asleep.” I chuckle.

“Oh, I was close. If you didn’t text, I would have.”

“Tired?” I ask and caress her face.

“I am, yes. I don’t know why I am so tired.”

“It has been a busy day, and I am sure you are nervous about tomorrow. A good night’s sleep will do you good.”

I peck her lips, take her hand and lead her back to bed.

“Are you tired?” she asks.

I nod, “I am pretty tired.”

Kenna climbs in first, sinking into the mattress. She pats the spot next, and I happily slip in next to her. The second I lay down, I realised what she meant.

“Comfortable, right?” she snickers.

“Very. How come your bed is better than mine?” I chuckle.

“Jealous?” she teases.

“Yes. I think I will need to sleep in here for all the nights we are here.”

Kenna giggles, “You are more than welcome. As long as you hog the covers or the bed.”

“I promise not to, well, not on purpose, anyway.”

I roll onto my side to face her, and she does the same. I smile, grasp her hip and bring her body closer to mine.
“Can I help you?” she asks.

I slip my hand under her tee and draw circles on her hip, “Nope. You were too far away, is all. How are you feeling about tomorrow?”

She sighs, “Nervous. Anxious. Worried.”

I hate she is feeling like this, but she has always been anxious when it comes to social events or any event that includes attention on her. It makes me sad. She has probably missed out on a lot because of it.

“Kenna, I don’t like the idea of you feeling all of those things. If you would rather stay in the hotel, I would understand.” I say softly.

Kenna shakes her head, “No. I want to come. It isn’t my thing, but I said I would come, and I always keep my word. Plus, Carter spent so much on my dress, I don’t want it to go to waste either. I will be okay once we are there and have a couple of drinks.”

“Only if you are sure, dimples.”

“I am. I promise.” She smiles and kisses me softly.

“Okay, now, we should get some rest. We have a busy day tomorrow and a late night.”

The event won’t finish until after midnight. There are after-parties, too, which I may need to attend; Carter and Kenna don’t need to come with me, but I would prefer if they did. I will wait and see how Kenna is after the event before I ask her.

“Are you sure? Because I don’t think you came over here for only sleep.” She whispers.

“Dimples, I am fine with only sleeping. We have been through this before. I don’t expect sex every time we are alone. You are tired. I am tired. Sleep is what we need.”

Yes, our agreement is mainly sexual, but it doesn’t mean she needs to give me every time we are alone. I am not that much of an ass. I love the sex between us, but it doesn’t always need to happen.

Kenna smiles, “Okay. We can have morning sex.”

Her smile turns into a smirk.

“Mmm, yes, please. I love morning sex.” I groan.

We haven’t had a chance, well, not first thing in the morning after we wake up because one of us always needs to leave until Carter heads to work.

“Me too.” She agrees.

Kenna places her hand on my cheek and kisses me goodnight, “Sweet dreams, rockstar.”

“Sweet dreams, beautiful.”

She turns away from me. I scoot up behind her and drape my arm over her. She quickly links our fingers, and we settle down for sleep. It doesn’t take long for Kenna to drift off. I believe she would take the mattress home with her if she could.

I nuzzle my face between her shoulders, close my eyes and hope for sleep to take over me as quickly as it did for her.
