“What do you want?” I ask, stepping closer to her, and she looks over my shoulder.

“I think what I want isn’t an option tonight.”

“What do you want?” I ask again.

“You,” she says.

I get wet.

“Then, I’m all yours.”

“What about her?” she asks.

I turn around to see the woman she’s talking about.

“She’s here for someone else. I was just at the bar when she walked up.”

“So, you’re…”

“Going to take your hand and look for a room.”

I take her hand and the bag she’s carrying, curious about what’s inside, and walk her down the hall and up the stairs to a room with an open door.

“Master bedroom,” I say, feeling lucky for the first time in a very long time.

“We won’t get in trouble this time, will we?”

“No,” I say. “I double-checked.”

I asked earlier if any rooms were off-limits tonight, and I was told no, so this one is fair game.

“You double-checked for me?”

I nod and close the door. Then, I lock it – I’m not taking any chances tonight.

“Wait,” I say. I’m an idiot. I want her in here all night. “I don’t want to leave once we’re in here. I’m grabbing food and water. Do you want a drink?”

She laughs, and it’s sexy.

“Maybe champagne,” she replies.

“I’m closing this door so that no one takes this room. Lock it behind me. I’ll knock twice and then two more times.”

“So secret agent,” she teases.

“Don’t get undressed yet,” I tell her, wanting to be the one who undresses her tonight, and I leave.

I see a couple headed this way and say, “Occupied all night.”

Then, I go back downstairs and stuff my pockets.

“Eager beaver,” my friend says, approaching with her wife.

“Yes, I am.”

“So, you found her?”

“She’s waiting for me, so I’ve got to go,” I reply.
