"It's Philip, please," he said. "I'll be perfectly honest and to the point. I noticed you here last weekend. You were in the company of a registered guest that I happened to know was from out of town. The two of you enjoyed our weekend brunch. And afterward, he returned to his room, and you left separately."
To say the least, I was shocked that anyone would have even noticed that, especially in a hotel as large and as busy as this one. But luckily, my stupor was broken by the waitress returning with my cocktail. After a long sip and another moment to compose my thoughts, I said, "Yes Philip, I was an overnight guest. Is there an issue with that?"
"Oh, absolutely not. And that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. You see, I'm the hotel concierge here at the Ritz. And it's my job to ensure every guest has every possible amenity they need for a safe and relaxing stay while they are here." He paused to see if I was about to slap him or if I was possibly interested.
"I took another sip of my cocktail, and asked, "So, how did you get my name and phone number?"
"From the guest," he responded without hesitation.
Now I was pissed at Stephen for so freely giving out my name and contact information. But on the other hand, I was intrigued by Philip's offer. We both took another long sip of our respective cocktails before I responded. "Can we meet for dinner this weekend to discuss this further?" I finally said with an alluring smile.
"Oh absolutely," Philip cheerfully said. "Just text me, and I will make all the reservations."
I guess you could say the rest was history. Philip started arranging dates for me all most immediately. Megan formally moved in with Nicholas. When our lease was up, I moved to a townhouse in the same apartment complex. Of course, it was more money. But I suddenly didn't have any financial concerns. I told my parents that I had received a big pay raise at work. And though I was exaggerating the size of my raise, it was at least partially true. I still loved my day job, but I also very quickly began to enjoy the multiple benefits of my new part-time evening job. I got laid, and I got paid; it just doesn't get any better than that.
About two years later, I heard of the Aristippus Resort; and as they say, the rest is history.

SouthernCrossfire8 months agoHi, Tall, I'm surprised and disappointed that you've received so little feedback from this story so I'll offer my take. This is actually the second take since I lost my first comment.
.
First, you did a great job setting up Ginger's character with a very good background, and the budding relationship with Daniel, appropriately nerdy based on his profession, was fun. She wasn't one of my favorite characters in the Retreat story, so it was nice learning more about her and her background. It was well written and established a great backstory for her. I enjoyed reading of her budding relationship with Daniel and how that developed.
.
That said, the first time I read this story, I was taken aback at a certain point when there was a sudden, dramatic and somewhat unexpected change. There had been hints that I may have glossed over but I stopped reading and switched to the story of another of the Aristippus girls.
.
Enough time passed before I returned that I'd forgotten most of the part that I'd read. Therefore, when I read it this time and events were refreshed in my memory, it seemed better than the first time, but when I got to that particular point, I stopped again, though this time just until the next day. Then I read the rest and thought about it for a while before trying to compose this summary.
.
You did a great job dealing with Ginger's trouble and how she got through it. Perhaps it was because I'd read the story of the retreat first and expected something, but her transformation from that bad time to what she became wasn't nearly as surprising to me as Daniel's in the first half, despite the fact that there were indeed hints of his issues as things went downhill. Personally, I would have preferred to have seen Daniel's change be muted a little, either by having him be more of a bad boy from the start (and preferably Ginger being really turned on by that), or possibly by having a few more hints before the first incident that he wasn't quite what he seemed (and I'll admit that I may have missed some things along the way!). In the end, Ginger showed her strength to get through that hard time, which was what was most important.
.
Finally, since this was really a prequel and since I read the AR story first, the very last paragraph was bit flat to me personally, but it really was a transition to that story rather than an epilogue as it seemed to me. Another few paragraphs with Ginger being on a typical date, with perhaps one more erotic scene, followed by him mentioning about the AR or her receiving an invitation that evening or the next day, might have let the story end on more upbeat note. As it was, I think you did very well overall and I rated it 4.5* and rounded up.
