“Um, well.”
Thalia starts to laugh at Callie’s obvious embarrassment. “Spit it out, Callie. I haven’t got all day…although I could probably take all day to hear this.”
Thalia moves to sit on the bed and relaxing back on her elbows stares at us both with a huge grin on her face.
“You’re impossible. You know that, right?” Callie points out, throwing her arms up in the air. Moving away from me she joins her best friend on the bed. “I had a panic attack last night. Ruben was helping me until Reece came across us.” She turns to smile at me before looking back to Thalia. “He brought me here and looked after me. We talked and are giving this a go. He’s also warned me that he’s going to screw up again, although not intentionally.”
“Reece, you idiot.” Thalia shakes her head. “You do not go into a relationship saying you’re going to screw up.” She snickers. “I can’t believe you’d say that.”
“I thought it was kinda cute,” Callie says, standing and walking back into my arms.
“You would. I’m going to go and leave you two alone,” Thalia says, rising from the bed. “Oh, I forgot. I came in here to say we’re leaving in, probably, twenty minutes now.”
“I need to get my stuff and return Ruben’s SUV.” I take hold of Callie’s hand as I grab my wallet and keys from the table at the side of the bed. “Is everything in your case?” I ask Callie.
“Yeah, it just needs fastening up.”
Letting go of Callie’s hand, I press down on the case before pulling the zipper around and grabbing the handle, I go to carry it out of the room, but stop when I realize both Callie and Thalia are standing watching me without moving. “What?” I ask baffled. She said everything was already inside so what’s their problem?
“You’re carrying my case,” she states with an unbelievable expression on her beautiful face.
Not really sure how she wants me to answer, I grin and counter with, “You can carry it yourself if you want,” although I’ve no intention of letting her carry it.
“Um, no…no… It’s fine. It’s just that I’ve not had any one offer to carry my case in a while, and they certainly didn’t look like you.” She smirks, grabs her purse and ushers Thalia to the door and out into the corridor.
Shaking my head, I follow them out of the room after a quick glance around to make sure I can’t see anything left behind. I also need to come up with something to keep her with me without looking like an idiot. And I need to be quick, as we’re about to reach Thalia and Phoenix’s room. But, perhaps I’m not the only one who wants to stay together as Callie has started to slow her step and fidget with her sundress.

bsp; Thalia opens the door to her room and before Callie can take a step to follow her, I wrap my arm around her waist from behind and whisper in to her ear, “Stay with me.”
She shivers, covering my hand on her belly with her own and entwining our fingers together. After a brief squeeze to my hand, she says, “Thalia, I’m going to go with Reece.”
“What the fuck.” Phoenix!
He appears behind Thalia and then proceeds to look like a fish out of water with his mouth opening and shutting, obviously stunned to see Callie and me together, touching.
“Um, what…” He points between the two of us.
Laughing, I drop Callie’s bag and wrap my other arm around her chest to rest on her shoulder, “We’ve talked…and other things – ouch!” Callie nudges me in the ribs as I say, ‘other things.’ I grin and retaliate by nibbling her ear.
Breaking the hold I have on her, she turns to face me, looking mischievous she slips her hand between us, and presses against my junk, which perks up ready for another round.
I narrow my eyes, trying for a serious look, but end up laughing when I see the flush on her face. Plus I’m not sure I want her to get the wrong impression right now with my growing erection in her hand.
Hearing a cough behind us, I raise my head and see Phoenix and Thalia grinning.
“At least we’re not as bad as you guys.” Although, another two seconds and we would have been. I quickly kiss Callie on her lips at the same time as I remove her hand from my dick. “Let’s go.” I drag her behind me away from the room, pick her case up and quickly walk two doors down to my room.
Removing the keycard from my back pocket, I open the door and shove Callie through. I need to find the patience from somewhere because all I want to do is lift her sun dress over her head and put my mouth on every inch of her, but what I need to do, is to quickly grab my gear and get the SUV back so we can leave.
“Mmm... Your bed is bigger than mine,” Callie comments, lying back resting on her elbows. She crosses her legs letting her dress slide further up her tanned thighs making me gulp.
“I’m just going to…to…fuckinhell.” I can’t concentrate on what I’m supposed to be doing. My attention is held by the hem of her dress crawling closer and closer to the juncture of her thighs. “You are going to make us late.”
“Stop looking at me then.”
Is she for real? She snickers before becoming serious. “Are we really going to do this?” she asks without meeting my eyes and staring at her fingers playing with the hem of her white sundress.
