The Remington Suite Hotel and Spa

[onceaviking]

The Remington Hotel and Spa is a large, white building with a vague neoclassical air. It looks quietly elegant. And expensive.

Inside, the reception area is quite big, done up in dark wood paneling and scattered with small glass cafe tables and delicate ironwork-like chairs. Green plants dot the tables as well as the desk. Real plants with real dirt.

A man is seated in a corner reading a newspaper and a family is headed out of the door, likely on their way to a restaurant.

The receptionist is young, pretty and professionally bubbly, greeting Jay enthusiastically as he approaches the reception desk.

"Good evening, sir. How may I help you?"
She's blond and according to her name tag, her name is Marie Anne.

"Both," Eric says with a sigh. "I was going to take the night off, but things are progressing fairly rapidly, so I might have to head in. I told Pam I was going to call her --" he looks at his watch. " in half an hour or so."

Jay stretches and yawns, feeling happily lethargic. "Stay as long as you want, but I understand if you need to go. Business has got to come first." After all, what they have isn't meant to be romantic, as much as Jay worries he'd like it to be.

"I'll call her I'm a bit and see what she says," Eric replies carelessly and closes his eyes.

His face is still and beautiful. And bloodspattered.

[runningred]

Jay watches him with a warm smile. It's a pity Eric wants nothing from him but blood and work. He leans over with care and brushes his thumb gently over Eric's cheek, wiping away some of the blood. Fuck, he's stunning.

Eric looks like he might be about to say something - and then his phone rings.

He gives a long suffering sigh and rolls over to fish it from the pocket of his jeans. They're still on the floor.
Affording Jay with a perfect view of his ass.

"Yes? Oh, for fuck's sake Pam, can't you just - "
He sounds increasingly annoyed. Then she apparently interrupts and he listens, jaw clenched.

" Fine. Tell her I've been dining out and just need to help with the dishes. Then I'll be right there, "he says. And then he adds something in Swedish, in a softer tone of voice, before putting his phone down.

" Gotta go. Conference call. "

He looks at Jay.
"You okay?"

Jay can't help but laugh at the idea of Eric doing dishes, muffling it in the pillows.

He smiles warmly to Eric when he gets off the phone. "I'm good. Just don't forget to clean up before you go. You're kinda a mess." He gets up and stretches, enjoying the pleasant soreness in his muscles. "I'll be at your place in the morning to get going again. Leave me a message if you need anything."

He chuckles again. "I'd say say hi to Pam for me but I can imagine her snare if you did."

"Yeah, let's not go there," Eric says, getting up.

He disappears into the bathroom and returns moments later with a clean face.

He puts his jeans back on, seemingly willing to postpone a shower.

He's in a hurry.

"I'll leave you a note if there's anything. And I think we should aim for getting you back sometime tomorrow night. Things are getting a little - interesting around here. "

He heads for the window, pausing with one hand on the windowsill.

Jay's pulled on some shorts by the time Eric's back from the bathroom. He looks worried by Eric's comment. "I'll get as much done as I can before tomorrow night."

He follows Eric to the window. If it was anyone else, he'd steal a kiss. But it's Eric so he offers him a warm smile. "Just... watch your back, hey?"

[onceaviking]

"Always," Eric relies and then he is gone, out of the window and I to the night air.

[runningred]

Jay frowns after him, worried for Eric and wishing he knew a way to help. He gives up and locks the window, cranking up the A/C before throwing himself in a shower and crashing for the night.

He's up early, skipping breakfast at the hotel to grab something from the convenience store. He's rather make use of every hour of sunlight he has.

He checks for any messages from Eric before getting to work.
