Reece woke long before Hailey did. He quickly sent out an order to have flowers and breakfast delivered to their room and waited for them to arrive downstairs.

After the table was all set with the large vase of flowers and the warm meal, he tiptoed back upstairs, climbed into bed, and kissed her until she woke.

“Morning.” She sighed and held onto him.

“I have a few surprises for you this morning,” he said with a smile. “Two of them are waiting downstairs.”

Her eyes opened a little wider. “Coffee?”

He chuckled. “Yes, that too.”

Taking her hand, he pulled her from the bed, and they walked downstairs together.

She gasped when she saw the table. “Wow, all this?” She walked over and buried her face in the flowers. “These are my favorites,” she said as she smelled the soft blue carnation petals.

“I remembered.” He held out the chair for her to sit and when she did, he pulled off the cover to her meal. Then he poured her a cup of coffee.

“This is so amazing,” she said when he sat down next to her. “I’ve never gotten room service before.”

“Today we’re going to do a bunch of firsts. After breakfast, we have a couple’s massage booked.”

“Really?” She practically jumped out of her chair. “Where?”

“They’ll come here, to our room. I didn’t know if you’d like your nails done.” He glanced down at her fingernails and smiled at the soft pink color she’d painted on them. “So, if you don’t want the service…”

“I do,” she said quickly. “That’s another first.” She smiled and bounced on her chair. “Oh my gosh, you’re spoiling me.”

He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. “I like seeing your smile.”

“I feel like I need to do something special for you,” she said after she took a bite of her breakfast.

“You are. You’re here. What would I have done in this place if I’d come alone?” He frowned. “I would have been bored, watched television, ordered room service and, did I mention, be bored.”

She chuckled. “Well, then, I’m glad I could help out.”

“After we’re done being pampered, we can spend a few hours downstairs in the casino.”

Her smile grew. “I’d almost forgotten. I get to gamble this time. I can’t wait to get started.”

“We have time,” he told her with a laugh when she started eating faster. “Our appointment is in half an hour.”

“That soon?” she gasped. “I have to shower and shave.” She glanced at her watch as he laughed.

A little over half an hour later, after she had indeed rushed upstairs and showered, they were lying face down on the massage tables in a massage room off the main living room that he hadn’t even known was there.

He’d had a lot of massages in his life, and was enjoying relaxing, but he kept stealing glances at Hailey to see if she was enjoying herself as well.

When it was time for her to get her nails done, she moved into a chair as the nail technician started on her fingers while another started soaking her feet.

“I’m going to head up and take care of a few things.” He leaned over and kissed her before heading out.

She looked well rested and excited about getting so pampered. She deserved it.

Every vacation his family had taken, his mother and sister had always booked a mani-pedi. He’d grown up knowing it was something women loved and enjoyed.

That he could provide Hailey’s first experience of it made him happy.
