Chapter 525
Gavin got a suite? But why? Was he planning on using it with Rachel?
The thought made my stomach churn.
“I’ll call the front desk and ask them,” Luis said as he grabbed the phone behind him.
A few minutes later, he hung up and turned to me.
“Apparently Gavin Landry owns a suite,” he clarified. “The very top floor.”
He wrote down the room number and handed it to me.
“I might need some help getting him there,” I murmured, trying to tug Gavin off the barstool, but his body was too heavy, and I doubted he could walk.
“Hold on,” Luis said as he walked away, disappearing through a crowd. A few moments later, he returned with a couple of guys by his side. “They’ll help you get him upstairs.”
“Thank you,” I breathed.
I had no idea who they were, but they reeked of humans, as did Luis. I had no problems with humans; I just didn’t fully trust them. I wasn’t sure if they knew what we were, but if they did, they didn’t say anything or make known that they knew anything.
Because of how large the Casino Hotel was, it took a while to reach the elevator, and even that took a while to reach the top floor. We managed to get Gavin to his suite door, which was larger than all the other doors on the floor… shocker.
“Shit, I don’t have a key,” I muttered.
Gavin hummed and lifted his thumb before letting it fall to his side. I realized it had a thumbprint lock, and I sighed in relief as I grabbed Gavin’s thumb and pressed it to the panel. Within seconds, the little light on the panel turned green, and I heard the lock disengaging.
I opened the door and ushered the men inside the suite.
It was huge… bigger than any hotel suite I had ever seen. My mouth nearly hit the floor, though I didn’t have time to gawk and take in my surroundings. I felt underdressed even being in this room. The floors were marble, and we immediately entered a fully intact kitchen with brand new appliances that were so clean I could see my reflection in them.
We walked down a small flight of stairs that led into a living room area that had a giant flat screen TV on the wall, a huge luxurious couch that wrapped around the living room, a couple of love seats, a bookshelf, a glass coffee table, a huge marble fireplace with some pictures of Gavin’s family hanging on the mantle, proving his ownership. There were at least 5 different doors, and I’m not sure where each of them led, but I’m assuming different bedrooms and maybe bathrooms.
But that wasn’t what boggled me; what blew my mind was the large floor-to-ceiling windows that overtook the entire wall on the far side of the suite that overlooked the glorious nightlife and part of the gorgeous casino hotel that wrapped around.
We were on the top floor, so the entire city was in view of the window and the prettiest sight I had ever seen.
“Where do you want him?” One of the guys asked, bringing me back to the present moment.
“Couch is fine,” I told him. “Thanks.”
He nodded and dropped Gavin on the couch. After I said goodbye and thanked them one last time, they left.
I sighed and went to Gavin, trying to assess him. He was still sweaty, and his eyes were closed. His breathing was coming out in short rasps, and my heart clenched at the sight of him.
“I’ll get you some water,” I murmured. “And call Doctor Pierce. Maybe she can just meet us here.”
Just as I turned to walk towards the kitchen, his hand wrapped around my wrist, and suddenly I was being pulled into him. I fell on top of him; before I could grasp what was happening, his hand came around the back of my head, and he was pulling into a deep and passionate kiss.
