Rise of the Crescent Moon

Chapter 38 Josephine

"Where are we staying?" I asked as August helped me into the black luxury car he had rented from the airport.

"The Hyatt Grand." August answered casually. I rolled my eyes at him,

"What?" He asked, noticing my expression from the driver's seat of the car.

"Of course you pick one of the nicest hotels in the city." I laughed. The Hyatt wasn't far from where I went to the medical school, the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in Kips Bay.

"My assistant set it up." He shrugged as he began navigating the busy streets.

"You've driven in the city before." I noted. August nodded distractedly,

"I've been here many times on business but have never seen anything other than the hotel room and whosoever office the meeting was in."

"That's sad." I signed, clicking my tongue at him disapprovingly.

"Well I didn't have a sexy tour guide before." He winked at me with a crooked grin.

"You better not have." I smirked.

We rode in comfortable silence the rest of the way to the hotel. When we pulled up there was already someone there, ready to take our bags and escort us inside. We bypassed the front desk, having already been checked in over the phone by August's assistant, and we're taken straight to our room: the penthouse suite, of course.

"You're ridiculous." I told August as he tipped the bellboy and locked the door behind him.

"What now?" August groaned.

"You couldn't have settled for a regular room or even just a normal sized suite? We're only here for a few days, August, this is a little extreme."

"Is it?" He shrugged, moving our suitcases to the other side of the room. He seemed board with the room and I realized that he must stay like this all the time,

"Most of the time the company I'm meeting with sets up the hotel and pays for the room, they just coordinate it with my assistant. I hardly know what's going on half the time."

"Maybe I need to have a word with this assistant." I huffed, plopping down on the oversized bed. August grinned at me, laying down behind me.

"Oh, why's that?"

"She seems like a piece of work." I grumbled. August flipped around in bed so his head was at the bottom where I was sitting, and propped himself up on his elbows.

"He's fantastic." I looked down at August and felt a hot blush creeping up my neck,

"Oh."

"It's cute when you're jealous, baby." August tapped my nose with his finger and I batted at his hand,

"I am not jealous." I mumbled.

"Whatever you say, love." August hummed but I could tell that he didn't believe me. I didn't believe me. I decided to change the subject,

"What's on the agenda, Alpha?" I smiled down at him, running my fingertip along his cheek and giggling at the way he squirmed under my touch.

"Nothing for today, I was just thinking about some room service and relaxing. Tomorrow I have meetings all day. Then, the next day I'm all yours. I might have a last minute meeting to finalize everything before we leave." August explained.

"Sounds perfect, what do you want to see?" I laid down next to him so our heads were only inches apart.

"You, naked." August answered. I shoved him so hard that he rolled off the edge of the bed and hit the floor laughing.
