Nothing serious. That’s what this was, I reminded myself.

So what if I was more excited than I’d been for my sure-thing tinder dates this past week? Didn’t mean much, other than that I was crazy-attracted to Britt. Which I could’ve told you already.

Or my dick could’ve, at least. One look at her in that fuck-me tight black dress at the police gala, and I could’ve taken her right then.

Except – I forced my dancing leg still – why was I so goddamn nervous?

Seeing someone at the end of the walkway, I waved. “Enjoy your bus ride?”

She frowned. “I told you. I was out, so it wouldn’t’ve made sense for me to go home for you to pick me up.”

“Yeah, yeah,” I said. “You know I’m just messing with you. You’re cute when you’re mad.”

Britt accepted my proffered arm with a sarcastic smile. “Said like a true seven-year-old boy.”

I shrugged. “Never said maturity was one of my strong points.”

Britt took a look around, her impressed eyes taking in the gold trim of our luxurious surroundings. “Clearly taste is, though.”

“They don’t call it Hotel 1 for nothing. You brought your bathing suit, right?”

As we stopped to wait for the elevator, Britt’s face assumed an oh-crap expression. “You were serious about the whole pool thing?”

“Well, we could always go into the pool wearing nothing, but I think that might make the other guests jealous.”

She smiled thinly. “Lucky for them, I did wear my bathing suit.”

Or unlucky. Only time would tell whether tonight was going to be my lucky night.

“Let me guess,” I said as we walked onto the newly-arrived elevator. “It’s black?”

“How’d you know?”

“You look hot as hell in black.”

“Let me guess,” she said, turning to me with a smile. “You’re not just saying that to get in my-”

“Oh no,” I said, letting my gaze rest of hers. “I’m totally saying that to get in your pants.”

The boldness of my words sparked a light in her eyes, although already the whip-fast elevator doors were opening up.

As we walked onto the smooth grey stone, I said, “I have a confession to make.”

“Oh yeah?”

“I booked the whole pool for us for a few hours.”

Her smile was halfway up her face when she asked, “Why?”

“Wanted to have you all for myself.”

That got a whole smile out of her, though sat herself down on a pool seat. “You know all the right things to say. Don’t you?”

“Not always,” I said, sitting on the chair beside her so our legs were touching.

For a minute or two, only the moon watched us silently.

“I didn’t know what to say when the divorce went down,” I said.

She said nothing, didn’t pry even with the slightest look. Maybe that was why I said what I did next.

“Maybe it was because I didn’t care by then. I was just too tired. Tired of all the fights and blaming. How she brought out the worst in me.”

“That’s what they never tell you about love,” Britt said quietly. “They go on and on about how transformative it can be, but never in the bad sense.
