“Well…” Addison began and then stopped and started laughing. “Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m about to say this.”
My curiosity peaked, and I pushed the memory away.
Suddenly her eyes got soft and her voice lowered to more of a whisper, “Would you– I’m sorry, never mind.”
“Would I what?” I asked, feeling like I knew where this was going.
“It’s just that I can’t really stand to be alone right now.” She chewed her lip expectantly.
“I see.” I responded, my eyes grazing over her with expectation.
“Yes.” She said shyly.
I sensed she was too shy to ask, so I made it my question instead.
“Well then, I have a proposal for you.” I stated.
“You do?” She said, looking confused.
“A beautiful woman like yourself should not have to be alone, in such a beautiful place like this, especially on her honeymoon.”
Her mouth slightly parted, and her eyes flicked over me, waiting in anticipation for me to continue. “I appreciate that.”
“Let me keep you company, at least for the next few days that I’m here.” I gave her a glimmering look across the table. “It would be a shame for you to spend your honeymoon alone.”
“Keep me company?” She asked in a whisper.
“Yes.” I stated, lacing my fingers together and leaning forward on the table. “I’d hate for you to not put everything you packed to good use.” I slid my hand out and pulled out the condom she had hid under the napkin earlier, and placed it in my shirt pocket and patted it with a wink.
“I don’t know.” She breathed, looking like she was on the edge of wanting to take the plunge.
“Only if you want to.” I said. “But truly, it would be a shame for you to be all alone. And besides, what are you going to do, anyway? Go back up to your room and flick the bean by yourself?”
She broke into a boisterous laugh. “Flick the bean?” She whispered across the table, looking around.
I raised my eyebrows. “Tell me that’s not exactly what you were going to do.”
She bit her lip with a coy smile and blushed. “I don’t know. How about this, you can pretend to be my husband for my couple's massage tomorrow, and we’ll go from there? It would be super humiliating to show up to that by myself, and I could really use that massage.”
“Deal.” I said and the corners of my mouth twitched at the thought of her naked body just a few feet away under a thin sheet.
She stuck her hand out across the table. “Deal.”
I reached out and shook her hand while rolling my eyes at her playfully. But all the blood had already rushed to my groin and I couldn’t stop eating her up with my eyes, or ignoring the desire that pulsed through me every time we briefly touched.
What I wanted to do was take her back up to my room right now. I’d have her forgetting Jack's name in two seconds flat. Hell, I’d have her forgetting her own name in two seconds flat.
But if that wasn't what she needed right now, I was content to keep her company tomorrow and would be her plus one if it made her feel a little less embarrassed. Though I knew I could give her a better massage than the massage therapist could, anyway.Withthe happy ending.
Across the candle-lit table, she gave me another coy look as if she could read my mind.

ADDISON
I stood in the lobby,tapping my foot impatiently, and checked the time on my phone. We were going to be late for the massage. I wondered if he was standing me up. I considered going to the couple’s massage by myself. Maybe they’d feel sorry for me and upgrade me or something. I shook my head and decided, no; I was going to drag Damian to the massage with me wherever he was. He promised, and I was going to hold him to that.
I approached the reception desk hesitantly, trying to figure out how I was going to convince them to tell me what room Damian was in. I doubted that was information they gave out freely.
