MICHAEL

I keep my steps light as I walk out of the bedroom and across the suite.

I feel bad sneaking out like this, but I couldn’t think of a good excuse to leave earlier, and I have so much to do still.

Alice should sleep through the night though. She always does after a couple orgasms.

And it’s not that I’m worried Alice would think I’m having an affair if she wakes up and finds me gone. Even with my ex-girlfriend in the building, Alice knows I have zero good feelings toward Amber. What had been indifference before has turned into true disdain after her behavior these last few days.

I just don’t want Alice to wake up alone.

Ever.

So I’ll need to work fast.

After quietly shutting the door behind me, I make my way downstairs to the hotel kitchen.

Not running into anyone, I use my key and unlock the door.

Then I turn on the lights and get to work.
