Lily
Who needs a boyfriend when you can get a massage with a happy ending?
Packless and alone,with nothing but my thoughts and a feeling of abandonment,I stroll through the doors of luxury.Normally,I would never be able to afford to get a massage at this place.I'm a brokeass rogue,but today is different.
Today is the day of my twenty-fifth birthday,and I have the most marvelous surprise waiting for me:an adventurous massage.Did Juanita rob someone to give me this birthday present?It wouldn’t surprise me if she pulled out some crazy stunt like that.Because one thing’s for sure...This place screams money.
I guess there’s only one way to find out.
Juanita told me to knock on door sixty-nine,and my knuckle is hovering above the wood.My heart rate is a few beats above normal since anxiety has gripped my entire body.I need to calm down.This is supposed to be relaxing,I remind myself;it’s not like I’m about to rob a bank or something.
With a sigh,I finally raise my fist and knock on the white wood.Time to get this party started...
The door opens.“Can I help you?”a deep voice asks,and a billion shivers race over my skin when my eyes land on the sexiest man that I’ve ever seen in the flesh.
I gasp,and the man frowns from the door,seemingly unwilling to open it all the way,but I still get a good look at him.He is tall,with broad shoulders and rippling muscles trying to escape his tight-fitting white shirt.His dark hair frames his model-like face,and his intense green gaze has me momentarily speechless.If I saw a picture of him,I would think he was photoshopped to look this good...
When the stranger lifts an eyebrow at me,I quickly gather my composure and try to sound intelligent.“Uh,yeah,am I early?I have an appointment for a massage.”
He blinks.“A massage?”
“Y-yeah...”This is the right door,right?And how come my heart is racing a mile per minute?This guy is a total stranger,yet I feel unexplainably drawn to him.
Could he be my mate?
He does carry a faint smell of a werewolf,but it’s barely noticeable.I’m guessing he is strong enough to hide his identity and scent,but I can definitely tell that he is a werewolf,just like me.The hot guy probably isn’t packless like me,though.Does that bother him?My status,I mean?I’m packless since nobody wants me,but so far,he hasn’t mentioned the fact that I’m a rogue.
Perhaps he doesn’t care?
“I don’t remember booking any massage.”
I giggle.“It’s for me,silly.My name is Lily,and I have an appointment here at seven.”
His expression turns into one of interest,and a small smile tugs at the corners of his lips.“Does this place look like one where you would be given a massage?”
“Well,I know this is your private room at the spa,but Juanita told me that you were doing this outside your work hours.The card is just to give that extra luxurious feel to it.”
He looks amused.“Juanita,huh...”
“Yeah,my best friend.You know her,right?She was the one who gave me the card.”I hand the stranger my gift card.He hesitantly takes it and studies it with blinking eyes.
“Free adventure massage at the mysterious werewolf spa...”
I force a smile.“That’s what it says,yeah.”
He meets my eyes.“What’s your name?”
“Lily...does that ring any bell?”I’m really looking forward to this massage.Especially if Adonis here is going to give it to me.He looks like sex-on-a-stick,so who could blame me?I bet even his hands are perfect.
“Ah,Lily.Yes...of course...”The guy says,and I’m not sure why,but he sounds even more amused.A glittering smile touches his lips,and he steps away from the door to hold it up for me.“Right this way.I will give you your massage.”
“Adventure massage,”I correct him,narrowing my eyes.It’s very important that it’s the adventurous kind since Juanita said it was the stuff.
And luckily,the man bows as if having made a mistake.“I humbly apologize.Of course,this is an adventure massage.How silly of me to forget that.”
Pleased by his hospitality,I smile widely and step inside to hang off my coat and bag.
