Callan
One other thing: the hotel screwed up my reservation and have put us in a suite together.I’ve left a room card at reception for you.
I’ve spent the last hour thinking about it and have decided I’ll take the couch tonight.There is no way I’ll be able to lie next to her and not want to fuck her.

I stare at the bed.
The only bed in the suite.
Holy shit,no.
I need my own room.
This suite might be lavish with its soft, thick carpet that makes me feel like I’m floating, its chandeliers, and its cream and gold touches, but it won’t do.The man at reception told me they don’t have any more rooms, though, so what I really need is a new hotel.
The fact Callan didn’t mention that there’s only one bed must mean he doesn’t have any problems with it.I imagine he could sleep next to me all night without a care in the world.
God.
Why did I let Blair convince everyone that being Callan’s plus-one for an entire season was a good idea?
She must go.
When I get home from this weekend, I’m giving her her marching orders.
We can no longer be friends.
Or, maybe all I need to do is sage her.
Yes, I’ll try that first because she really is a good friend.Except for this one inconvenient little part of her that thinks Callan and I should be together.
“Ace.”
I didn’t hear Callan come in and I jump at his voice.“Jesus, you just gave me a heart attack!Why do you have to be so good at being all stealth-like?”
His lips quirk in amusement while he walks to the bed and drops his cap on the other side to where I’m standing.I guess that’s the side he’s claiming.“You were staring pretty hard at this bed.Were you busy planning the demise of the person who fucked up my reservation?”
“What?No.I’m okay with sharing a room with you.”
He gives me a long glance like he’s trying to figure out if I’m lying.“I’ll take the couch.”
I eye the couch.“God no, Callan.That thing looks rock hard.It will put your back out.”
“I don’t mind.”
I make a face at him.“Don’t be silly.You’re not sleeping on the couch.”
He doesn’t argue with me but I know that doesn’t mean the argument is finished.Callan can be stubborn when he wants to be.
“How was your massage?”
“It was the most amazing massage I’ve ever had.”I cock my head at him.“Apparently, I have my husband to thank for that.”
“I asked them not to tell you that.”
