Iâm supposed to be working. Two days of schmoozing and networking.
Thatâs what folks call it, right? âNetworkingâ is the fancy new way of saying thereâs a popularity contest in the hotelâs bar. Winner ends up with the most friends. Loser buys their own drinks.
In years gone by when Iâve attended weekends like this, Iâve spent the requisite daytime at the appropriate events, speaking to the right people, and collecting friends in the industry the way someone might collect chess pieces. The nights, however, were spent doing things that turned me on. Drinking, dancing, women, and long sleep-ins.
Iâve never once claimed to be a saint. Iâve never lied and said I was some kind of innocent schoolboy who has no experience with women. I know who I am, and considering Iâve never broken a heart or knocked a woman up, I consider my adult dating life a success.
But what I consider a success and what Tabby considers success are two entirely different things.
Lucky for me, Reginald fucked with my truck, and we arenât going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
âWe have that auction to go to,â Tabby walks laps into the carpet of our room. I sit on the bedâher bed? our bed?âand try not to breathe too heavily for fear of making the frame squeak. âI already registered you. People are expecting you.â
âItâs fine, Tabby.â
âYou didnât tell me how big this event is,â she scowls. Her words are for me, but while she paces, her eyes are for her phone. âLiterally every other hotel in town is booked.â
âAnd even if they werenât,â I snicker, âwe have no truck to get there.â
âWeâre so much farther out of town than I realized,â she whimpers. âI didnât think about the practicalities of twenty miles.â
âLong walk.â
âI figured a ten-minute drive each way would be punishment enough for you. A way to cool your heels. Plus, no woman is gonna get in a truck and drive to the middle of nowhere with a dude she just met.â
âSo you admit to wanting to stifle my sex life?â
Swinging around, Tabithaâs glittering eyes meet mine as her chest heaves, searching for breath. âNo!â
âUh huh.â
Taunting her, since itâs so easy, I kick my shoes off and inch along the bed until I can rest against the dozen pillows lining the headboard. âThis isnât even a queen, by the way.â I open my arms and legs for a moment to take measurements, then I fold my hands behind my back and cross my legs at the ankle. âThis twin is gonna be cozy as fuck.â
âYouâre kidding yourself if you think youâre sleeping on that bed.â She goes back to pacing and typing on her phone. âI can get a guy from roadside assistance to fix the truck, but he canât come until the morning.â She grunts and looks at the clock on the wall. âItâs almost dinnertime.â
âAnd you havenât even organized your gown yet.â
Tabby stops and growls when I grin.
âThereâs no need for roadside assistance,â I tell her. âReginald has it under control.
