“Well, now you’re stuck with me, aren’t you, asshole?”

I yanked the door open, stepped out, and slammed it shut behind me.

“Ugh, I hate him.” I rolled my eyes, letting out a long breath as I spotted Isabella leaning against the wall outside. “Out of all the people, I can’t believe he’s the one here.”

“Maybe it’s a good thing,” she said. “Maybe he can help us.”

“The only thing he can help me with is raising my blood pressure.”

Isabella fell into step beside me.

“You have to admit, that was… entertaining.”

“For you.”

“For both of us.”

I shot her a look.

“The way that condom got stuck on him,” she said, laughing as she pressed a hand over her mouth. “You should’ve seen his face when he tried to act all cool.”

“He deserved it.” I headed toward the guest suite.

“Gabby.”

I stopped and looked over my shoulder.

She hurried over, lowering her voice once she reached me.

“Would it be okay if you clean on your own while I go down to the lower deck and find out who Dante’s brother is?”

I nodded. “Just be careful.”

“I will,” she said, slipping down the hall toward the stairs leading to the lower deck.

Just as I was about to enter the guest suite, a blonde woman marched up to the master suite and started banging on the door.

“Oliver, baby, I know you’re in there. Please let me in.”

Her palms slammed against the wood again.

“Let me in!”

I raised an eyebrow, the master key still in my hand. I knew I wasn’t supposed to get involved, but there had to be a reason he refused to let her in. Besides, seeing the look on his face when she walked inside would be worth it.

I made my way over to her.

“I’m sorry, miss,” I said gently. “If you need help getting in, I can open the door.”

Her eyes lit up.

“You can do that?”

I nodded.

“Mmm… okay.” She breathed through her nose, subtly adjusting her breasts to make them look fuller. “Ready.”

I slid the key into the lock and opened the door for her.
