With a roll of my eyes, I replied, “I’m not here to massage anything of yours.”

“What if I promised to get you off once or twice?”

I shoved him away. “Fuck off.”

“Ooh, I love a feisty girl.”

Since I realized I wasn’t getting anywhere with this horny asshole, I shouted, “Noah!” at the top of my lungs.

“Hey, baby, I’ll be anyone you want me to be,” a tall guy to my left said.

“Jesus, is every competing swimmer a lecherous asshole?” I muttered under my breath as I went farther into the room. “Noah!” I shouted again.

“You lookin’ for Fitzy?”

I whirled around. “Yes. Do you know him?”

He smiled. “I’m his roommate, Craig.”

Hope rushed through me. “I’m—”

“Gaby. Yeah, I know. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

My eyes popped wide. “You have?”

“Yeah, Fitzy never shuts up about you.” Dipping his head, he added, “My room is right next door to his and the walls are pretty thin, so I unfortunately hear a lot of your Facetimes.”

When he waggled his brows, warmth rushed to my cheeks. “Next time I’ll make sure he wears Earpods.”

“I’d still have to hear him moaning your name.”

I held my hand out in front of him. “Okay, I think that’s more than enough getting to know each other. I’ve really got to talk to Noah. Can you take me to him?”

“Sure thing.” As we started through the maze of rooms and athletes, Craig cocked his brows at me. “You know, I’m kinda surprised to see you here considering how you feel about his swimming.”

“I swear, I never wanted him to give it up or be what came between him and his dream.”

Craig grinned. “He said as much.”

“Trust me, I know it’s what he loves more than anything in the world.”

“Are you sure about that?” he asked with a smile.

My brows rose in surprise. “I didn’t know you were a romantic, Craig.”

He laughed. “I just call it as I see it.”

“Even if he loves me more, I don’t want him not competing today.”

“Regardless of how you and I feel, it’s up to Noah.”

“You’re right. But I still want to try and talk him out of it.”

“If anyone can talk him out of it, I’m sure it’s you.”

“Thanks.”

He motioned through a door. “He’s in there.”
