"Stop, Heidi. You dumped me, remember?"
Neither of them had noticed me yet, since they stood at an angle to me, turned slightly away. I should've announced my presence, but I couldn't make my voice function. My muscles decided to stop working too, leaving me trapped on the threshold.
"That was such a huge mistake," Heidi said. She placed a hand on Ollie's cheek. "Can't we try again?"
"I'm with Mara now."
"But we have history."
She tried to kiss him, but he turned his head away.
And saw me.
"Mara," Ollie said, shoving Heidi away. "This isn't what it looks like."
Heidi stumbled and grabbed the desk to stop her fall.
I stepped into the room. "She's trying to seduce you, right? It's not that hard to figure that one out."
Ollie frowned at Heidi. "She might've been trying, but it was not working."
"Sorry," Heidi mumbled, then she raced past me, out into the hall, her bare feet slapping on the wood floor.
"I'm not into Heidi anymore," Ollie said, coming up to me, grasping my upper arms. "I'm with you, Mara. Only you. That's all I want or need."
I glanced around the office. "Where's your friend? I thought he was waiting for you here."
"Damian was here. I gave him the room I was going to sleep in, which actually works out great since I'd much rather bunk with you." He scrunched up his nose. "We shared a dorm room in college, and Damian farts while he's asleep. Really stinky ones."
"Ew. I didn't need to know that."
Ollie laughed, pulling me into his arms. He kissed the top of my head. "Sleeping with you is way more fun. Are you okay with sharing a room?"
"We'd better be sharing more than a room. I want you in my bed every night."
"Yes, ma'am." He skimmed a hand down my back, gliding it over my bottom. "It's my job to ensure guests get everything need."
"In that case, I need you twenty-four seven. Can you be my personal concierge?"
"Not sure Eve and Val would go for that, but you can always text me if you get...needy."
"Mm, good." I snuggled into him, my arms around his waist. "Why is your friend Damian here? I mean, if it's a super personal thing, you don't have to tell me."
"It's nothing like that. He wanted to get away from the city, and he knows how much I love it here, so he decided on a surprise visit."
"You must be glad to see him."
"Sure. It's always good to see him." Ollie crooked a finger under my chin and lifted it until I met his gaze. "Damian is my top guy friend. You're my number one best friend."
"That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me." I hunched my shoulders and wanted to avert my gaze, but I made myself keep looking at him. "You're my best friend too. I've never had one before."
"About time, then." He cupped my ass in both hands, lifting so my heels came up off the floor and our eyes aligned. "Mind if I kiss you? I'm having a Mara craving, real bad."
I grinned. "Please kiss me. I'm having a serious Ollie craving."
He gripped my ass more firmly, and our mouths collided. Just when things started heating up, someone coughed from the doorway.
Ollie and I turned our heads at the same time.
