New desire flows through me. If I didn’t have somewhere to be, I would probably let him throw me back on my bed and get the answer to a few questions right now. Opening the door, I let Nick slip out into the quiet hallway.
“Maybe I’ll catch you after your meeting,” he offers.
“At thebar?”
I hear myself answer, and immediately want to kick myself for acknowledging that I want round two. There are no round two’s in one-time fucks. I’m breaking a rule that’s probably written on a bathroom wall somewhere. I came to Oak Resort with a very specific purpose, to lock down a deal. I can’t afford to get distracted. Also, as hot as Nick is, one random hookup is enough. Two would leave me wanting a third.
Then again…
“Room two-seventeen,” he tells me. “I should be there by seven.”
Why not? It’s close to Christmas. My early dinner meeting will be over. The deal will be sealed. I’ll have a reason to celebrate.
And then I’ll never have to see Nick again.
