"The Ritz?" My eyebrows rose. "Like the Ritz Hotel?" I couldn't believe my ears. Was he suggesting what I thought he was suggesting?

"Yeah," he said silkily. He leaned forward, his eyes gazing into mine. "The Ritz Hotel. I hope you have something nice to wear."

"Um, I..." I licked my lips nervously. Was this really happening? Was he really going to take me to the Ritz Hotel? Was I about to lose my virginity sooner than I thought?

"Let's just do it," he said, standing up with a smile. "I think it will be an amazing night." He looked down at me. "Wear your nicest dress," he said.

"But are you sure? I mean..." I cleared my throat as I stared at his pecs.

"Hey, I mean, if you don't want to…" He shrugged. He looked away for a second and then back at me. "But I think you want this as badly as I do." I swallowed hard and nodded.

"I mean, I hate to admit it, but you're right."

"Good," he said, with a devious little smile. There was a glint in his eyes that I hadn't seen before in my life, and it made me shudder. If he looked at me that way when we were in the bed together, then I would absolutely lose my mind.

"So I guess we're going to the Ritz tonight," I said, giggling.

"Yeah. Beats Hulu and Netflix, right?"

"Sure does." I jumped up. "I'm going to go and shower."

"Okay, I should get ready for work anyway," he said as he stood as well. He looked at me for a couple of seconds. "I'm glad we're on the same page here, Rosalie."

"Me too, Oliver."

"Good," he said. “I'll see you later.” I watched as he walked back to his room and then I grabbed my phone. I called the numbers quickly. I hoped Alice was sitting down because she was not going to believe what was happening.

"Hey, what's going on?" she asked breathlessly. “You didn’t respond to my last few texts.”

"Oliver was talking to me."

"Oh shit...and?"

"You will not believe what just happened." I giggled into the phone.

"Oh my God, you just gave him a blow job."

"No, I didn't give him a blow job, Alice."

"He went down on you." She gasped, and I giggled.

“He didn’t go down on me in five minutes, Alice.”

"What happened? Just tell me."

"He just invited me out."

"He what? On a date?"

"I don't know if it's a date so much as a... Well, you know."

"No, what?"

"Like, a hookup."

"He invited you out for a hookup. What?"

"Yeah, he said he wants to take me to the Ritz-Carlton and to wear a dress. He said a nice dress, but I'm pretty sure he meant sexy, and he gave me that look that told me he was undressing me with his eyes. I mean, I know we have sexual chemistry even though I can’t stand him."
