The Audition: Alyssa and Roy

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

It was good I had a driver tonight because I was so spaced out and found myself staring around at the traffic and then the city lights all the way to the hotel.

Roy had a good grip on my hand, reminding me to take step after step as he led me into the elevator then from there through the foyer of the hotel to where we could see Ronan Paris waiting in the bar. He was seated there with my co-star Dash. It certainly felt like I was to be the star tonight.

My husband kept hold of my hand throughout the greetings and small talk, all of which was background noise to me. Roy leant close and kissed my cheek. “Good luck baby, I’ll be watching,” he left me with as Ronan Paris led me away towards the elevator.

I held my husband’s eyes all the way to the elevator and watched him through the glass wall as it zoomed upward the five levels. I lost sight of him lifting his hand to wave and became more aware of being guided along between these two finely dressed older men.

“That’s a beautiful dress Alyssa. Nice choice,” Ronan said.

I smiled at him. “Thank you. I’m glad you like it,” I said, including Dash with a smile for him too.

Dash winked. He really is a nice guy and I was glad he was there. Ronan had been right about me possibly needing a familiar face as partner for this audition scene.

I was ushered into room 517 and taken straight to the bedroom. It was as expected. It had been made perfectly clear in conversation last night that this was going to be a sex scene.
