Since this will be my first trip to Florida, I'm super excited. I've been planning this trip for months, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
The trip was supposed to be a gift from me to my ex for our anniversary. It wasn't a honeymoon, not even close. The only thing I wanted to do was spend time with him.
Now I have an additional non-refundable airline ticket. I'm not letting it go to waste. I asked a few platonic friends, but they were busy. It's such a last-minute thing, I understand.
An old acquaintance contacted me through Facebook, and I was really surprised.
“I heard you have an extra vacation ticket?” James asked on Facebook Messenger. Because I couldn't hear his voice, I wasn't sure if he was sincerely asking or making fun of me. Since he was a nice guy, I didn't think that was the case.
“Yeah, I've still got the ticket. No one has taken me up on my offer for a free vacay.”
I could see the little dots on my screen indicating that he was typing back a response. In anticipation, I held my breath.
“Would it be weird if I asked to go?”
“Not at all. You're welcome to join me.”
We had everything set up once I changed the ticket to his name and emailed him all the itineraries. Even though it was platonic, I was excited to have an old friend join me. Fuck, I thought of something else I needed to change on the reservation, but I couldn't. This time I called him, I needed to hear his voice.
“James, the hotel reservation is for a room with one king-sized bed. The hotel is full, so I couldn't change it.”
It's not a problem. I don’t have cooties. Let's ask housekeeping for extra pillows and put them in the middle. Don’t sweat it man.”
I huffed out, “Alright, that’s a good idea.”
After saying our goodbyes, I was left wondering. Was this something platonic? Or is it something else? I didn't know James was attracted to men. The truth is, you don't really know what's going on inside the mind of someone from the outside.
It didn't matter to me either way because let's face it. Is there anyone who wants to go on vacation alone?

Our hotel room was ready for us when James and I checked in. Our receptionist handed us each a keycard and said, "Enjoy your stay."
As he looked at me seductively, he said, “Oh yes I will enjoy our stay.” Even though it was hot outside, his deep raspy voice made me break out in goosebumps.
With a click, the bedroom door opened and our bed was there. It would be our bed that we would share for a week. Even though the bed was neatly made, I found myself wanting to destroy it. I wanted to wreck it. It was my dream to have the dirtiest hotel sex of my life, but there was one problem. There wasn't anyone to have sex with. I wouldn't have brought a stranger back to my room even if James wasn't here.
Watching James unpack his clothes into drawers was cute and felt almost intimate. The fact that I never put my clothes away made me feel like a slob. I just left my clothes in my suitcase.
“There you are,” he said, shaking out a pair of swim trunks. Right in front of me, he slipped off his pants and boxers, exposing his bare ass. Fuck, he had a nice ass. He had his trunks on in a flash.
After looking at me, he put on his sunglasses.
“Why are you just standing there? Aren’t you coming to the pool with me?”
As my face flushed red, I felt dizzy. He was obviously very comfortable changing in front of others.
Ok this was really steamy. Wow. Like the rest of Kyle's books this didn't disappoint. Kyle has a way of taking a short story and making it phenomenally steamy. I highly recommend this book.
