“Trapped in a robot flying to the sky, baby!” I sang. “Giggling like a child and crying like a baby!”
Three dry Bombay Blue Sapphire martinis filled my stomach. The main reason I drank them was for the three gorgonzola-stuffed olives that came with each drink. My sight blurred. Dryness corroded my mouth and throat.
“She’s drunk.” Lucy laughed.
“Can you be any more obvious?” Chase laughed with her. “Baby, can you sing lower?”
“Me?” I asked as my arms swung back and forth on his back.
“Yes. You.” He patted my behind as he carried me to the elevator.
“Well, you have so many babies. I didn’t know which one of us you were referring to.”
His shoulder stiffened.
Lucy placed one finger on her lips to shush me.
“Sorry,” I whispered back and then sang, “Hit the galaxy I’m so high, but I’m looking down to you.”
Lucy covered her mouth and giggled into her hands.
“Well, at least you can carry a tune.” Chase carried me off the elevator. “But you can’t hold hard liquor.”
“I can hold a lot, sexy man.” I slapped his butt. “Now let me down. I can also walk.”
He set me on my bare feet.
Lucy handed me my shoes.
“Goodnight, my fellow sister in insanity, and goodnight, my love.” I did a dramatic bow and tripped.
Chase caught me before I stumbled forward.
“We’re not saying goodbye. I want you in my room tonight.” Lust gleamed across his eyes as his gaze traveled down my body.
“We can’t have everything we want,” I said. “Besides, I peeped at the hotel menu—”
“Yes she did.” Lucy shook her head. “She must have sat there and read the menu for at least thirty minutes like it was a book.”
Chase smiled. “What did you see on the menu that you liked?”
“Everything, but what really caught my eye was the lamb burger with goat cheese and truffle fries.” I shrugged. “It’s not an original dish, but when I did an online search many people said this hotel provided the best lamb burger in India.”
“That sounds good,” Chase said.
I stretched my arms and yawned. “My plan is to shed all of my clothes, eat, and pass out in my own hotel room.”
I walked around him.
“Then we’ll do that together.”
“Chase,” Lucy said. “That’s not really a part of the rules. None of us should be in the room together.”
“What?” I said.
“On everyone’s day we spend time together until ten at night and then we are supposed to go our separate ways to different bedrooms,” Lucy explained.
I giggled. “Alrighty. So goodnight, my lovely, weird ones.”
He captured my waist and then glanced at Lucy. “Let’s break the rules this one time. We can all hang out in my room together.”
“But Chase ...” Lucy shook her head.
“Please, Lucy.” His eyes pleaded with her.
“Sure. This should be fun.” She shook her head. “But if Dawn finds out, you’d better take all of the blame.”
“I will, but since it’s your day she may not even ask,” Chase said.
I raised my eyebrows. “It’s Lucy’s day?”
“Yes. I kind of ruined it by taking you all to India.” He opened the door to his room.
My feet sank into plush carpet.
The TV blared.
The air conditioner hummed.
“You’re wasting energy, Chase. You should turn off the TV if you’re not watching it.” I collapsed on his king size bed and checked out his room.
I’d thought mine was big. Chase’s room was three times my size, like he needed to run laps in it or have space to park his pet elephant.
His suite had been designed with simplicity and taste in mind. Lush tan carpet with chocolate brown boxes lay under my feet. The soft fabric of the bed sheets smoothed against my skin. Polished gold lamps stuck on stark white walls and illuminated the room in a tantalizing glow.
Lucy left through another door. “I’ll order for us.”
The bed shifted as Chase lay next to me.
I rolled over and gazed into those seductive eyes. “Hello, my green-eyed lover.”
“Hello, my drunk new gorgeous girlfriend.” He pressed his lips onto mine. His tongue explored my mouth.
I moaned and grabbed his head. My fingers rustled his perfect waves. The bitter taste of liquor clung to his tongue.
He kissed my cheek. “Are you okay with Lucy spending time with us?”
“I’m actually interrupting your date.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“I can worry about it if I choose to.” I stuck my tongue out.
He trapped it with his mouth, inciting a fury of lust to swirl in my chest. Then, he released it and nibbled my bottom lip. “I love it when you go against my orders.”
“Good. I’ll be doing that more often.”
My movements seemed delayed, but still I ran my hands down his hard chest and traced rugged layers of muscle on his waist.
My sex clenched.
Damn. He’s perfect. He has to have a small one. There is no way he’s all perfect.
I giggled.
“What?” He lifted himself up and began untying the straps around my neck.
