Chapter Fifteen

Chloe

As I walked into the gallery, I was on cloud nine.

“Gregory, Micha, I won’t be in tomorrow, so I’ll need you both to handle things while I’m gone.” I grinned.

“No worries, Chloe.”

I stood there with a twisted face, waiting for one of them to ask me why I was taking the day off. They didn’t.

“Aren’t you going to ask why I won’t be here?” I placed my hands on my hips and cocked my head.

They looked at each other.

“It really isn’t our business why you take the day off,” Gregory spoke.

“Well, I’m making it your business. Go ahead. Ask me.”

“Why won’t you be in tomorrow?” Micha asked.

“Because I’m going to Vegas for the weekend!” I exclaimed with excitement.

“How fun!” Gregory spoke. “Who are you going with?”

“Mr. Sebastian Bennett.”

“Lucky girl,” Micha replied. “He’s dreamy.”

“He sure is. If you’ll excuse me, I have some work I want to finish before I leave.”

I couldn’t believe Sebastian asked me to go away with him. Two nights and three days of us having nothing but sex, sex, and more sex, not to mention the fact that I would be snuggled up against him all night long, feeling his warm, naked body pressed against mine and his strong arms wrapped tightly around me. I needed to call Sienna.

“Hello, friend.” Her face appeared on the screen as she sat at her desk.

“Guess who’s leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning?”

“I don’t know. Your parents?”

“No, silly girl. Me! Sebastian asked me to go with him, and I said yes. So I will be unavailable starting tomorrow through Sunday.”

“The man is wising up. I’m so happy for you.”

“This could really be the start of something, Sienna. I’m totally crazy about him.”

“Listen, Chloe, and don’t take this the wrong way. You know I love you, but for the love of God, don’t get yourself caught up in him. I don’t want you to get hurt. I have never seen you react like this to a guy before, and, to be honest, it’s scaring me.”

I rolled my eyes at her.

“Don’t roll your eyes at me. You know it’s true. I’m just looking out for your well-being.”

“And I appreciate that, but this is all your fault.”

“How the hell is it my fault?” She frowned.

“You’re the one who pushed me into having a one-night stand with a stranger in a foreign country. Had you never done that in the first place, I never would have thought about it and acted on it. Hence, this being all your fault.” I smiled.

“Oh my God! You’re so good.” She laughed. “I have to go, darling. Sam just walked in, and we’re going to lunch. Say hi to Chloe.” She turned the phone so I could see him.

“Hello there, gorgeous.” He smiled as he waved.

“Hey, Sam. Enjoy lunch, and I’ll talk to you later, Sienna.”

“Have fun in Vegas, and I want all the juicy details when you get back. Or feel free to FaceTime me while you’re in bed. I’d love to see him naked.” She winked.

After ending the call, I finished the work I was going to do tomorrow and headed home to pack a bag.

When the bellhop unlocked the door to the suite, I gulped as I stepped inside of the Italian marble foyer. Sebastian walked past, stopped, and looked at me as I stood there frozen.

“What’s wrong?” He chuckled.

“This is so beautiful.”

“Please step inside to the main area. If you think the foyer is beautiful, wait until you see the rest.” He held out his hand.

Placing my hand in his, he escorted me into the living room.

“Wow. Seriously?” I smiled.

“Seriously.” He winked.

“How big is this suite?”

“Approximately two thousand square feet.”

Italian marble, furnishings, and décor surrounded me. The room was impeccably decorated, and the artwork on the walls spoke for itself.

“Would you like to see the bedroom?” Sebastian asked.

“Of course. I’m sure it’s bigger than my apartment.”

He narrowed his eyes at me for a moment. “Yeah. I think it is.”

In the bedroom, I crawled across the luxurious extra-large king-sized bed.

“Oh my God, this is so comfortable. I’m going to sleep like a baby.” I sprawled out on my back.

“Hate to break the news to you, sweetheart, but you won’t be getting much sleep.”

“Okay.” I grinned as I propped myself up on my elbows.

He gave me a smile and then looked at his watch. Stepping towards the bed, he leaned over and kissed me.

“As much as I want to fuck you in this bed, right now, I have that meeting to get to. I shouldn’t be more than a couple of hours. You can stay here in the room or go check out the hotel, but whatever you do, don’t leave. I don’t want you wandering around Vegas by yourself. Deal?”

“Deal.”

“There will be plenty of time for everything else over the next couple of days,” he growled.

Standing up, he pulled a money clip from his pocket that held a ridiculous wad of cash.

“Here. Take this in case you want to go down to the casino. They have some nice slot machines.”

“You don’t have to give me money. I have my own.”

“Take it, Chloe.” He arched his brow.

“If you insist.” I smiled as I took it from him.

Kissing me one last time, he walked out and went to his meeting. I’d never been in such a luxurious place in my entire life. The entire suite was simply breathtaking. The marble bathroom had an oval-shaped jet tub and an enormous glass-encased separate shower. There was a media room off the living area, which featured a built-in wall HD TV and a cream-colored sectional that surrounded the room.

Holding the money that Sebastian gave me in my hand, I counted it.

“Holy mother of pearl,” I said out load. He had given me a thousand dollars.

Making my way down to the casino, I took a seat at the blackjack table. As I was sitting there with a crowd gathered around me, I felt a tap on my shoulder. When I turned my head, I saw Sebastian standing there.

“Hey. Is your meeting over already?”

“Already? It’s been four hours. I sent you numerous text messages and you didn’t respond,” he spoke with a hint of anger.

“Wow. Really? I’ve been sitting here for four hours?” I bit down on my bottom lip. “This is my last hand.”

“What the hell, Chloe? How much did you win?”

“I don’t know.” I shrugged as the dealer dealt the final card and I won. “Woohoo!” I held my hands up in the air. “Thanks, Chuck. It’s been fun, but I have to go.”

“Congratulations, Chloe.” He smiled.

I gathered up all my chips, put them in a large cup, and handed it to Sebastian.

“Here you go.” I grinned.

“What are you doing?” He looked down at the chips.

“It’s yours. You can thank me later.” I patted his chest and started to walk away.

“Hold on a second. If I’m seeing these chips right, there has to be over five thousand dollars here.”

“Give or take a couple of hundred.”

“How the hell did you win this?”

“The sun is in Leo right now.” I smiled.

“What?” He frowned.

“Forget it. I was just lucky tonight. That’s all.”

After cashing in the chips, we went up to the suite.

“Take this,” he spoke as he handed me the money.

“No. It’s yours. You gave me money to play and I won. So I’m giving it back.”

“Fine. I’ll take back the thousand dollars I gave you and you keep the rest.”

“Seriously, Sebastian. Keep it. It was your money that won.”
