“Are you sure?” Amanda said. “You don’t have to, you know.”

“Sure? About what?”

“Spending the evening with me.”

“Of course I am.”

“Because if you want to ask Simone or Christine, I’ll understand.”

Then realisation dawned on him. He hadn’t even checked with her that she wanted to go to a fancy hotel with him. Was she trying to let him down gently?

“Shit, Amanda. I didn’t even ask you. I’m so sorry. I got carried away.”

“It’s not that,” Amanda said. “I’ve never been picked to do anything like this before. I don’t want you to feel obliged or anything.”

Tyler sat back. “I would be very touched if you would accept the invitation. Honestly.”

“Okay then. You’re on.”

A beam spread across her face then dropped as she caught herself. But for a brief moment her face shone.

“I’ll go and speak to the other hotels,” she said. “I can get a spreadsheet going on.”

“Good thinking. And if they offer free stays, sod it. Let’s become experts of the hotel scene.”

Boom, the grin came again.

She slipped out of the room. Tyler watched her walk to her desk. He would make it a daily mission to receive one of those grins.

So far, it had been a pretty good morning. He got up and walked over to the window. His stomach nearly dropped throughthe floor when he saw Danny and two other guys from the warehouse.

Danny had sinfully tight utility trousers and a black polo shirt on. The fabric clung to his incredible arse. Now that Tyler had experienced what lay under there, it made the tension worse.

He far preferred this outfit than the shapeless overalls Danny had worn before. It was a crime to cover that body up.

All three were messing about in the sunshine. Danny glanced up at the building. When he locked eyes with Tyler, he waved.

Tyler returned the gesture. He noticed his palms were sweaty.

God this is like Romeo and Juliet with sex toys.

Danny and the others were walking to the warehouse. Danny stopped. Tyler absolutely fixated on him.

Glancing up, Danny ran his hands over his arse. He winked and ran off.

Tyler exhaled. Tomorrow couldn’t come quick enough.

“Let me get this right. You’re going to a swanky hotel with Amanda Pickering?”

Tyler nodded. “That’s right. Do you have a problem with that?”

“Just to be absolutely clear. Out of all the people at Pleasure Seekers, you chose her?”

He and Scott were lying on the rug in the shaft of sunlight that spilled through the big windows. Tyler loved evening sun. To be fair he loved any heat.

“Considering it’s her contact, I had to. Besides, I think there’s hidden depths there.”

“Don’t get carried away.”
