“I don’t know. I really don’t,” I said.

“Come on. Let’s weave through some aisles and then dip into the elevator,” she said.

Ana took my arm, and I went wherever she led. We bobbed and weaved, getting completely lost in the maze of lights and sounds. We timed it right and stepped into the elevator just as Luke came out of the casino.

He turned and looked at me as the elevator doors closed.

“Fucking creep,” Ana said.

“Ana,” I said, giving her a look. “Stop, he’s totally harmless.”

But then, the elevator doors shot back open. Luke smiled and stepped in, allowing the doors to close without pressing a button. I could feel the irritation coming off of Ana in waves and I was silently willing her not to say anything.

“I’m not feeling very well,” I said.

“You wanna go back to the room?” Ana asked.

“Yeah. I think this is a room service and rest kind of night,” I said.

“Allow me to escort you back. I want to make sure you’re okay,” Luke said.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” I said as I looked behind me.

“Really. If something happened to you or something, I’d want to be there to help,” Luke said.

“Look, creep. She’s got it. Okay? Just go away and stop following us,” Ana said.

I shot a look toward Ana, but she shot me one right back. The elevator door opened on the fourth floor, and Ana dragged me off and down the hallway.

“What are we—?”

“Shut up and keep walking, okay?” she asked.

The elevator doors shut behind us, and I turned around. No one was there, not even Luke. And I sighed with relief as Ana dragged me over to the stairs.

“The last thing we needed was for that asshole to know what floor we were staying on. Now come on. We’re walking the last two flights.”

“You could’ve been a little nicer, you know,” I said. “Luke was just trying to be a gentleman.”

“He was being creepy,” Ana said. “Anyway, did you really want to go back to the room?”

I thought about it for a minute, suddenly tired. “Yeah, actually, I do. Once I said room service and a movie, it sounded pretty good. You don’t have to stay with me though, you can go find some fun to get into.”

“And leave my bestie to wallow in whatever you find to wallow in? Not a damn chance,” she said.

I sighed as we reached our room, but I was silently glad that she would be staying. Lord knows I couldn’t be trusted to be alone with Rhett right next door.

End of Sneak Peek. Would you like to know how this continues?

ROCK HARD NEIGHBOR

PROLOGUE

His eyes were hungry, and I knew exactly what they were craving.

He picked me up gently, and I sighed into his neck. He turned his lips to my skin, and I could’ve sworn I felt their warmth. My skin puckered and the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. I pulled back to take in his eyes once more, giving myself one last chance to revel in their beauty.
