**Layla's POV**
"Lead the way." I had whispered into Codey's ear. He pulled back to look at me and his gaze dipped to my lips. I smiled reassuringly and he nodded yes. We both stood up and I stole a look at Rose. She was blushing looking back at me when I noticed the tall blonde guy had come over to talk to her. We gave each other the thumbs up and I mouthed that I would text her later. She raised her eyebrow and looked at Codey who was adjusting his pants a bit. I downed the rest of my drink and so did he. "After you." I seductively said while nodding in the direction of the exit.
He wove his way through the tables and crowds while I followed towards the exit. As it came closer he stopped and looked back. Maybe he wanted to make sure I didn't bolt. I couldn't pass him up. But then, another teammate stopped him. "B-Man, dude! You leaving so soon?" The guy asked him. He nervously glanced back at me as I approached him. Not wanting to get involved with the bros, I turned to Codey gently pressing my body against him, squeezing between him and his teammate. "Excuse me gentlemen." I cooed. Codey's expression was priceless. When I had passed through them and got a few steps away I turned back and gave him a smile and a wink then continued out the banquet hall doors. "Who's that hot chick?" The guy asked Codey as I left.
Out in the hallway, I wanted to stay close by so Codey could see me when he walked out but without being obvious. I wanted this to be discreet. After all this is a group of 20 year old guys. If they see their buddy leaving with a girl they might cat call or say something stupid to ruin the mood. So I took my place by the empty bar Benji had been working at. I pulled out my phone to occupy my time until I would go up to Codey's room. I quickly text Rose giving her a brief rundown for her to see later. I put my phone away and looked up to see those chocolate eyes staring back at me. "Shall we?" he said. "You go, I'll follow you." I thought I was doing him a favor. To my surprise he grabbed my hand. "Don't be silly, come on."
We started walking past his team mates and we started getting looks. I couldn't help but feel self conscious but he looked at me and smiled making all the nerves melt away. How does this 20 year old guy have so much confidence? It's sexy as hell.
Rounding the banquet hallway we made our way past the hotel lobby and towards the elevator. He pushed the up button then turned to me "I have some beers up in my room but if you want something else we can order it through room service." "Beer's fine." I replied. I don't really plan on doing much drinking though. As we waited for the elevator I started to feel my lust growing anticipating what might happen with this sexy man. My panties were already wet from the moment he put his hand on my thigh at the dinner table.
The elevator doors dinged open and he let me enter first. He came in and the doors closed behind us. He pressed 6, the top floor where all the business suites are. I used to be a maid in this hotel, that's how Rose and I met. I know all the rooms in this hotel and the 6th floor is the best. "Layla, you're so beautiful." Codey said out of nowhere. I blushed and dropped my face in a shy smile. He stepped closer to me and I lifted my eyes to meet his. He stroked a piece of my blonde hair behind my ear then thumbed my jawline. I closed my eyes enjoying the sensation but the ding of the doors opening again cleared my brain's haze.
Codey took my hand again and lead my out the elevator and to the left. I know the largest suites are this way and I get excited. He took me 3 doors down and pulled out his card key. The door clicked open and we walked into my favorite suite. There is an office and coffee nook to the left when you first walk in. A large living room with cozy couches and a fireplace with a tv mounted on top is next. The windows are open giving us a night time view of the skyline. The fireplace is actually a 2 way, so I know on the other side is the bedroom. To the right of the living room is the kitchenette and bar with barstools. I kick off my heels and walk over to the bar stool. Codey is already pulling a couple beers out of the fridge.
"You know, I used to be a maid in this hotel. I can tell you some funny stories about a party in this room that I had the pleasure of cleaning up after." I giggled remembering the memory as I explained it to Codey. I had walked in at noon after the guest had checked out. He must have had a s*x party or something. There were condoms and s*x toys all over the place. I even found a pink g-string hanging from the chandelier in the bedroom. Codey has been watching me and listening intently as I recounted more disgusting things I remembered from my time as a maid.
Then Codey started walking around the bar with beers in hand. He passed me one and we clinked the bottles together and took a swig. "So, do you have a boyfriend or anything?" he asked me with a slightly worried tone. "I wouldn't be in your hotel room if I did." I answered honestly. "It's just that I can't imagine why you'd be single. You're beautiful, funny, charismatic. I feel like I've known you so long but I just met you." He looked a little puzzled but I have to admit my recent break up to him. "I just got out of a 4 year relationship. He wasn't the nicest guy and he ended up cheating on me. I'm actually happy its over." I smiled up at him and hoped that he would see my sincerity.
"His loss." Codey said somewhat quietly. He touched the top of my hand that was resting on the bar. I lifted my hand and we interlocked out fingers. His touch made me feel warm all over. I couldn't wait any longer, I had to make a move before this lust drove me crazy.
