“Her boss’s son. He has a thing for Savannah,” Becca supplied.
"You’ll be in North Carolina with some guy who's trying to get you into bed?" Theo asked.
Savannah tried to ignore Theo. It was tough when he used that firm, commanding tone of voice that made her nipples hard though. She stoically kept her eyes on Becca. "His father is sending him to get a second opinion on this property.”
She had a feeling Steve was sending Mark to check her work because of her crazy idea for the cabins here in Autre.
Steve wanted to know if the inn and the land were worth the purchase and how the locals would respond to new management. But he would not keep it as is. He would definitely sell off the reindeer and shut down the light show.
This was a test from Steve, and she knew it.
If she came back and tried to talk him into keeping all the unique, quirky pieces that he thought were tacky and off-brand, he’d know she wasn’t cut out for the position of property acquisitions for his company.
The thing was, she already loved the idea of reindeer and light shows and sleigh rides and definitely wanted to talk him into keeping them. She also knew they were a huge part of the inn’s success. If he cut them, the inn would be like all of the others in the area. Could it be profitable? Probably. But it wouldn’t be…special and fun.
She sighed.
She was going on this trip less because of her job and more becauseshewanted to go on a sleigh ride through snowy hills with a fuzzy blanket wrapped around her lap and a cup of hot chocolate in hand.
But the idea of Mark being there and insisting on being beside her in that sleigh…
She looked over at Theo. "Areyou planning to visit your parents?"
They made direct eye contact for the first time in two months.
Savannah felt the impact rock through her entire body. She was instantly hot and tingly. Her stomach flipped. Her pussy fluttered. Her heart rate sped up.
“As a matter fact I am," he said.
Theo would be nice and warm to cuddle up against during a snowy sleigh ride.
Yes, yes he would.
Was it fate?
Good luck?
Whatever it was, she could admit it would be really nice to have Theo by her side when she was stuck overnight with Mark there.
Okay, it would be nice to have Theo there anyway.
She liked him.
She’d thought of him almost constantly for two months.
She just really didn’t want to break either of their hearts.
But this was a specific…mission. He was going to accompany her as a friend on a trip out of state. She was going for work. He was going for family. It was simple and straightforward.
He was watching her. Now with a gaze that held a myriad of emotions.
One of them actually seemed like…challenge.
Oh, he wasdaringher?
This would be a challenge forhimtoo.
If Theo Landry could actually leave the state of Louisiana, and be a little adventurous, she would be really proud of him.
