“Me, too.”

The elevator dinged, signaling we had arrived at our floor. We rolled our suitcases down the hallway until we reached our room. Inside, the floor-to-ceiling windows displayed a gorgeous view of the city. Chase immediately flopped onto the plush white comforter that was atop the king-sized bed. I laid my suitcase down next to the closet. When I looked at Chase, he was grinning from ear to ear, wearing a devilish expression on his face.

I scrunched my nose up in confusion. “What?”

He pointed to the nearby wall.

My eyes followed in the direction of his finger, and I saw that the wall next to the bed was actually made out of glass – allowing for a complete view into the shower.

I smirked. “How voyeuristic of you.”

He chuckled. “I’m going to enjoy myself if we only have one night in this room.”

I kicked my sneakers off, and unzipped my pants. “So, your plan is to watch me in the shower?” I shimmied my hips to pull my jeans down over my curves. “That’s it? That doesn’t sound like much fun.”

Chase raised his eyebrows while he watched me step out of my pants. “Do you have a better idea?” He sat up on his elbows as I tugged my shirt up and over my head.

I reached behind my back to unhook my bra, sliding it down my arms, and letting it fall to the floor. “An idea comes to mind.” I turned and made my way to the bathroom. “Unless you’d rather stay out there and watch,” I called.

Within seconds, he appeared in the doorway, all of his clothes left on the floor in the other room.

I pretended to be surprised while I turned the water on in the shower. “Oh, will you be joining me?”

He followed me into the shower, and pressed me up against the glass wall. “I like your idea better.”

The next morning,I was awoken by a knock at the door. I quickly sat up in bed, forgetting where I was for a second. My memory was refreshed as soon as I saw the room service being wheeled in on a cart.

Chase smiled when he saw I was awake. “Good morning, sunshine.”

“Did you get pancakes?”

He chuckled. “Of course I did.”

“I can’t believe we didn’t eat dinner last night.” I looked around at all of our clothes strewn about the room while I reminisced.

“You wouldn’t exactly let me get dressed to go anywhere,” he said with a wink.

“What a good night it was, though. It’s worth the starvation I’m feeling right now.”

“Here. Don’t starve.” He placed a heaping plate of pancakes in front of me on the comforter. “I even got you fresh fruit to put on top.”

I tugged on his arm until his lips came down to mine. “Thank you. You’re the best boyfriend ever.”

“Remember that when you’re mad about the girls throwing their bras and panties at me.”

I smiled. “I’ll try.”

We ate, took showers, and straightened up the room in time for checkout. I was anxious to meet Donnie, and to see the apartment we would be living in for an unknown amount of time.

“You’re quiet,” Chase said once we were in the cab. “You don’t have to be nervous. Donnie is super nice. You’ll love the apartment.”

I leaned my head on his shoulder. “I’m not nervous. I’m just tired from our sexcapades last night.”

He kissed the top of my head. “You can’t fool me. I know you, remember?”

I yawned. “Yeah, yeah.”

He gently pulled my chin up so that he could look me in the eyes. “Give it some time. If you’re not happy here, all you have to do is say the word and we will leave. None of this matters to me if you’re not happy.”
