Her eyes lit up. “Wish me luck,” she said as she stepped towards the door with her key in hand.
“Whoa whoa whoa. You’re just gonna leave me out here all alone?”Not cool.
A door creaking made me jump. I turned around to see a man smoothing his trousers as he exited a room across the hall. I caught a brief glimpse inside where women covered in gold body paint were feeding grapes to a man in a toga.Weird.
“Boo,” said Chastity.
“What?” I turned back around. Chastity had her key in the handcuff door. But the door wasn’t opening. A message scrolled across the tablet:
Session in progress.
“Lame,” said Chastity. She tried again and got the same result. “Guess we have to go find your dice room.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way I was going anywhere without her. We continued on down the hallway, checking the symbols on the doors as we went. There was a masquerade mask, an eyeball, an apple, a trident…or was it a pitchfork? Then there was the letter V. But no dice.
Chastity kept pulling me around corner after corner. Before I knew it, I was all turned around.Great. This is where I’m going to die.
I picked up my pace and tore around a corner.
“Oh my God!” I screamed as I ran into a chiseled body. The man steadied me in his strong arms.
“Sorry,” he said. “You okay?”
I took a deep breath and tried to gather my nerves.
“She’s fine,” said Chastity. “And so are you.”
The guy smiled. “You flatter me.”
“I’d like to do more than that to you.” Chastity bit her lip seductively.
“Oh you would, would you?”
She nodded.
“In that case, come to the sky box at 7 pm tomorrow night.” He handed her a key from his pocket engraved with a cloud symbol.
“It’s a date,” said Chastity. “Hey, do you know where the dice door is?”
“Try the casino room.” He gave us directions and then walked away.
“See ya tomorrow,” called Chastity.
Damn.I’d seen Chastity flirt before, but I still couldn’t believe how easy it was for her.
“Well he seemed nice,” she said.
“What the hell is a sky box?”
“No idea. But I’ll let you know when I find out tomorrow night.”
We brainstormed what the sky box might be as we followed her new boyfriend’s directions to the casino room. We did have a few clues. I remembered them talking about the sky box during the Onyxies award ceremony we’d been bought for the last time we were here. The sky box had won best new room. And Tanner had also looked really concerned when he’d asked me if I’d gone to the sky box. Now I kind of wish that I had, just so I could have rubbed it in his face back then.
My guess was that the sky box was just another name for a penthouse. But Chastity thought it would be a skydiving simulation room. I was still working out the logistics of how sex in one of those things would work when we entered the casino.
It felt like we’d been transported to Vegas.
A cocktail waitress wearing an elephant mask made of mirrors offered us champagne. I took two flutes and downed them both.
