Sounds like a very important meeting to me, but there’s nothing I can do about it, so I just drive off toward the helipad as quickly as I can without looking like a madman.
The helicopter lands on Faraday at ten fifty, not that I’m keeping track.
As we climb out and head toward the waiting golf cart, Victoria pauses and turns to me. “Do you think I could take this one and you could grab another? I mean, I don’t really want to show up at the resort together.”
“Of course. Sure. You go.” It’s only now that I realize I foolishly failed to properly negotiate the terms of our “arrangement” or whatever it is. It makes me feel naked, exposed, and scared to not know the boundaries or rules.
It’s exhilarating. The feeling swells in my chest, and I feel my dick start to harden.
What is going on with me?
“But we need to talk soon about what exactly we’re going to tell people and who is being told.”
Had to go and ruin it, huh, Bentley?
“Oh, sure. I can’t do tonight because I have a super early class in the morning. But soon.”
“Okay.” Letting her leave without a solid plan for when I get to see her again is absolute torture, but what choice do I have? “Have a good day.”
She turns as she slides onto the front bench of the cart, next to the driver, and smiles. “Thanks. You, too.”
And then she’s gone.
Eventually, another taxi comes and takes me to The Sands. I head straight for Sam’s office.
“Hey.”
He looks up from his desk and smiles. “Morning, Ben. I didn’t realize you were still here.”
“I’ve been on Merit…sleeping with one of the resort employees. I’m about to head up to HR to file paperwork. I just thought you should know.”
Sam, bless his heart, doesn't let out the laugh that clearly accompanies the smile on his lips as he nods. “Okay. Great. I mean, good for you.”
I huff. “It’s probably nothing.”
Sam crosses his arms and leans back in his chair. “Probably nothing?”
“I just mean…” What do I mean? Why did I even say anything and open this line of questioning? Before I know it, I’m going to be spilling my guts out right here in the office for everyone to see.
No better guy to share them with, though, probably.
I sigh. “I like her. We’ve had fun these last few days. But she’s much too young for me, and she lives here, not in New York.”
Sam says nothing, but his eyebrows raise enough for me to know that I’ve sparked his interest.
Like a damn fool, I fall into the oldest trap in the book and keep talking. “She teaches Pilates in the new spa fitness program, so technically she’s a contract worker. I don’t know how I got into this. We met at the bar and she just…I don’t know how to describe it.”
“She picked you up at a bar?”
I laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of his words. “Yeah. I guess so.”
“That’s great, Ben. I’m happy for you.”
Of course he is.
“I trust you’ll do the right thing by the resort, so you’ve got my full blessing. Go have fun.”
I huff out another laugh at this whole situation. “I guess I am having fun.”
