Page 47 of Final Temptation
Since I was the one to book our rooms, I made my way to the front desk, eager to get the keys. I couldn’t wait to live my best life in one of these fancy, high-rise hotels.
“Hi, two rooms for Sophie Turner.” I smiled at the dark-haired gentleman behind the counter,sliding him my ID and Declan’s credit card. He appeared to be in his mid-thirties, pretty cute, too.
This is the perfect scenario for a free upgrade.
“Yes, Miss. Turner. I have you down for one, two-bed standard and a one-bedroom loft. Is that correct?”
“Sounds about right.” I bit my lip, giving him a sultry once-over before adding, “Unless you have anything available that you’d like to throw in for an upgrade on that standard room.” I looked down at my chest, my cleavage on full display. “You see, my best friend is getting married, and we are here for her bachelorette party. It’s my first time in Vegas and I’d love to live it up to the fullest.”
The handsome man took a generous eyeful of my cleavage before looking back at his computer.
The sucker took the bait.
“Hmm… Lucky for you, I think we just had a cancellation for one of our Studio Parlor Suites.”Parlor? Suite?Sounds swanky and right up my alley for this weekend.
“I’ll take it! Ugh, you’re the best! Truly, feel free to grab a drink after work and charge it to my room.” I winked, and he chuckled.
After I finished checking us in, keys in hand, I made my way back to everyone. “Okay, we’re all set! I think he said the elevator is that way!” I passed out a key card to everyone for their assigned rooms.
We all ended up on the same elevator, Myles and I getting off on a lower floor first. Declan and Paige had a bigger room, and I’m pretty sure the hot guy at the desk mentioned those types of rooms were on higher floors.
Before we unlocked the door to ourparlor,Myles looked down at my chest and back up to my eyes with a mischievous look on his face. “What did you do?”
“W-what do you mean?” I pulled the neck of my shirt a little higher.
“You’re forgetting that I spent years around you while you were bartending. Lowering your top to get what you want is your move.” My mouth dropped. “I’m not shaming you, Soph. I’m just saying, I wouldn’t be able to say no to you either. So, what is it that you asked for at the check-in counter?”
Suddenly, it’s hot in here. So, fucking hot.
The idea of everyday life in Coloradowent right out the window, and taking its spot was the erotic essence of Las Vegas, where you weren’t judged for being wild and sexy—you could be whoever the fuck you wanted to be.
“Happy to hear that you pay attention to me enough that you know what my ‘move’is. Why don’t you open the door and find out?” He held the card to the door. Once it beeped, he held it open, ushering me in before saying, “After you.”
A few steps in, and I dropped my bags, along with my jaw. “Wow,” I whispered under my breath.
Immediately to my right was a full kitchenette. With studio in the name, it now made more sense. It had everything you would need in an apartment, but it was made into a classy hotel room. One big open room with a kitchen, an open sitting room with a large flat-screen TV, and windows that took up the entire wall looked straight out to the strip. It wasn’t dark yet, but I knew once the sun went down, it would be an incredible view, unlike anything I would see at home.
Lost in the view, Myles slid in next to me.
“What are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking, I can count on one hand how many timesI’ve been outside of our small little town, and this is everything I’ve seen in pictures and more.”
“Sounds like you need to change that.”
“Change what?” My eyes drifted from the towering buildings to the man beside me.
“Travel more. Let your hair down and enjoy yourself. We are young and these are our years to travel.”
“Yeah, maybe now that I’m not at the bar anymore, I can make that happen. Who knows, maybe in the future, I’ll book a wedding out of state, make a vacation out of it.” I shrugged, feeling optimistic.
Being here was so overwhelming, but in the best of ways. The view sucked me in, almost making me forget there was another half of the room I had yet to look at.
“Oh my God,” I said in awe as I drifted around the corner and into the other room. “The bathroom.”
The tub looked like it could fit two, unlike mine back home. The marble floors and countertops were so decadent, it was like I’d be living as a royal for the weekend.
My senses were on overdrive, and I almost didn’t notice the bed. That was, until Myles chuckled.
