The First Time, Interrupted

After I drop the groceries off at my house, I tell Dad, “I’m going to dinner with Ryder.”

He raises his eyebrows. “Ryder?”

“We made up,” I say lamely.

“Are you two still friends? Or did you become something more...?”

“We’re just going to enjoy the summer.”

I can tell that Dad wants to ask more questions, but he must sense that I’m eager to leave because he says, “Have fun, Jing.”

When I get back into Ryder’s car, I ask, “Where are you taking me?”

He smiles. “It’s a surprise.”

“Taco Bell?”

His smile turns into a scowl. “It’s much nicer than Taco Bell.”

“Taco Bell Cantina?”

“Please stop insulting me with your guesses.”

30 minutes later, he parks the car and my mouth falls open. The place is much nicer than Taco Bell Cantina. It’s the freaking Ritz Carlton. “Um, will I even be able to get in?” I’m wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, not exactly fancy clothes.

“Of course we can get in,” he says. “I booked a room.”

“You booked a room?” I squeak. Heat floods my body. Does he want to have sex tonight? I go back and forth between dread and excitement. Making love to my best friend—nothing sounds more lovely...or terrifying.

Reading my thoughts, he says, “I don’t expect anything. I just wanted to make tonight special.”

“The freaking Ritz is definitely special,” I mutter.

The second we walk into the lobby, I’m overwhelmed by the sheer luxury. The dazzling chandelier, the sweet jasmine-scented air, the tall gleaming walls, the guests draped in designer labels. My pauper ass is internally screaming, Don’t belong here, don’t belong here.

“You’re acting like we’re committing a crime,” he says.

“Isn’t it illegal for poor people to be in the Ritz?”

“Good thing I’m rich.”

We check into an executive suite, which is ridiculous in the best way. I feel like I’m breaking into some billionaire’s apartment. “Wow, we can see the whole city from here.” I marvel at the view of all of the skyscrapers and lights.

He hugs me from behind, kissing my head. “Amazing, isn’t it?”

“It is amazing.”

He directs me to the bed. I flush, thinking of the things we might do on it later. After we sit, he hands me the room service menu. “Order whatever you want,” he tells me.

Jesus. The prices are outrageous. 18 dollars for chicken noodle soup? At that price, the soup better give me a damn orgasm. I decide on a (very expensive) burger and fries. Treating money like it really is no object, Ryder orders caviar on toast and Wagyu strip loin.

I clutch at the luxuriously soft comforter, the possibilities of the night causing my insides to twist in anticipation and anxiety. I know Ryder said he doesn’t expect anything, but he must want something. After all, he booked a nice hotel room; you don’t book a room without wanting to get some.

He puts me on his lap, placing a soft kiss on my neck. Catching my breath, I notice his hardness between my thighs. Unable to resist making the corny joke, I say, “Is
