few pieces of baggage.   Then the two of them walked into the
hotel lobby together, as a couple.
    Inside the hotel it was modern, spacious,
with a sleek look and very professional looking staff that immediately greeted
them, some of whom clearly knew Chase by reputation and also by having seen him
previously at this hotel.
    “Good to see you again, Mister Winters,”
a gorgeous woman said to him from behind the concierge desk.   She had dark, flowing hair and almond
shaped eyes, with a shapely figure that Faith immediately felt intimidated by.
    Her blouse was low-cut enough to show off
the woman’s ample cleavage, and she wore a pendant that hung between her
breasts, as if to draw the eye there intentionally.
    This was the kind of woman that Chase
Winters was expected to be with—an exotic beauty.  
      “Hey, Lin.   Good to see you,” Chase said, his voice
taking on a tone of familiarity that made Faith’s stomach tighten with
jealousy.
    Lin’s dark eyes flicked to Faith and back
to Chase, as she gave him his room key.   As he turned, Faith felt her lips form a frown.   “There’s only one room key,” Faith
pointed out.
    He glanced down as if noticing that for
the first time.   “Yeah, you’re
right.”   He turned back to the
exotic concierge.   “Hey Lin, I need
a second key, hon.”
    Lin flashed Faith an enigmatic look and
then bowed her head.   “Oh,
sure.   Just one sec.”   A moment of activity later, and she’d
produced a second key, handing it off to Chase with a seductive smile and
batting of lashes.  
    Was it Faith’s imagination, or did the
young woman let her hand linger on the plastic key a bit longer than necessary
when giving it to Chase?
    Faith felt her breath coming quicker, and
her pulse starting to race, as she walked away from the two of them and headed
for the elevators.
    “Wait up,” Chase said, catching easily up
to her as she got to the elevators.   “What’s the rush?” he asked, trying to press the room key into her palm.
    Faith took it and stuffed it into her
purse without looking at him.   She
breathed out impatiently through her nostrils, then folded her arms, waiting for the doors to open.
    When they finally did open, she stepped
in and pressed her back against the wall, as Chase came inside, watching her
with a bemused expression on his face.   He turned and hit the third floor button.   “I don’t get you, Faith.   One second everything’s fine, and the
next you act like I threw you over my shoulder and brought you here against
your will.”
    “Did you sleep with her?” she said, her
voice sounding strangled.
    “Sleep with who?” he asked, his
expression puzzled now.
    “You know who.   Little Miss Friendly at the front desk.”
    His puzzlement turned to surprise, and
then absolute hysterical disbelief.   He started laughing and laughing, shaking his head.   “That’s what you’re pissed about?”
    “It’s not funny.   And you didn’t answer my question.”
    “First of all, what if I did sleep with
her?   It would’ve been before you
and I were exclusive.”
    “Are we exclusive?”
    He stopped laughing.   “You better decide which question you
really want an answer to, because I’m not going to be interrogated.”
    Faith felt her cheeks flame with
embarrassment.   “I hated watching
her flirt with you,” she admitted.
    “A lot of women flirt with me,” he said without
apology.   It was just a statement of
fact.
    “I know.”
    “If we’re together, you’re going to have
to find a way to deal without freaking out on me.”
    She realized then and there that she was
being ridiculous.   She couldn’t
expect Chase to be a choir boy or somehow prohibit
women from flirting with him.   And
with that, Faith let out a breath and let the jealousy die.
    At
least for now.
    The elevator doors opened and Chase got
off, hefting both their suitcases as if they were nothing but a couple of
feathers.   When they got to the
room, he put
