“My father will be in the operating room, and my mother is working in her lab on the next cancer cure.” I dragged my hands back up around his neck and lifted onto my toes, hovering my lips above his. “But I really don’t want to talk about my parents. So, you’re definitely single?”
He grasped me by my hips and pulled me in against him. His erection pressed into my belly again, his eyes focused on my lips, and his fingers digging into my skin as he whispered, “Always single.”
The power flickered, and he pulled away, robbing me of his lips.
“What was that?” I asked.
“Storms must be near, and hopefully, it’s not the computer virus my brother cleared.”
“I guess George was wrong about the weather.”
“It’s the mountains and the changing winds. Electricity goes out at times, but we have generators.” He pointed to a maintenance door and checked his watch again. “It’s getting late. Let me walk you to your room.”
And just like that, the moment between us was gone.
James held my hand, and I followed him like a puppy. God, I wanted so much more than a five minute make-out session. Before I knew it, we were standing at the entrance to his suite.
“This isn’t my room,” I whispered.
He placed his watch against the plated number on the door, and it opened. We stepped into the extended suite with a tall window lining the back wall. Beyond, night lights illuminated a private swimming pool and a Jacuzzi tub.
I stepped out of my shoes and onto the rug-covered floor of the hallway. The moment my feet touched the carpeting, I knew I’d feel nothing that soft in my life again. The white fibers pressed against my feet felt like freshly spun cotton. To my left, a fireplace carved from a single slab of granite towered two stories high. On the right, double doors opened into a bedroom decorated in warm browns and greens. The place was massive.“Earlier, when we were upstairs, you said you were on your way to your room. This suite is nowhere near my room.”
“You’re observant,” he said pointedly, a sheepish smile playing on his lips. “I may have stretched the truth a little. Please, make yourself comfortable.”
“You stretched the truth by two floors, a private entrance, an outdoor Jacuzzi, and more.” I couldn’t get enough of the contemporary country decor. The space oozed warmth and charm.
“If you don’t like it, ask the management for a refund,” he murmured from behind me.
There was nothing not to like about the exclusive suite. There was definitely a lot to like about the way he held me from behind, rubbing himself over my ass. He nudged his face into my neck, and left a tender kiss, guiding me toward the double doors leading to the bedroom.
A king-sized bed took up most of the space. Monochrome pillows and a matching spread covered the bed. The bathroom was easily big enough to fit fifteen people in it. A fireplace glowed in an alcove on the wall and steam simmered in the air.
“Hmm.” I leaned into his hold as he swept his mouth down my shoulder.
“If you continue kissing me like this, I don’t think I’ll want a refund.”
“Good.” He let go. A cool breeze replaced his warmth behind me. “But I must apologize. I have to leave for a while.”
“What?”
I spun on my heel to face him.
“Business meeting. I have to consult with my partners.”
My heart dropped.
“At Christmas?”
“It’s one downfall of being a Silver.”
“I should head out then.”
He shook his head. “No, you’re staying here. I don’t want you to catch whatever’s bugging Allie. I’ll check on her before my meeting.”
“Will you be long?”
He sighed heavily and his shoulders sagged. “Most likely,” he replied, and my enthusiasm plummeted off a cliff.
