Chapter 15

Danielle

The feel of his kiss never left her lips. No matter where she was in the hotel, whether it was in the kitchen tasting the new specials or in the bowels of the hotel looking at the updated electrical panels, he was there with her.

“Danielle, did you hear me?” Todd asked.

“What?” She shook her head. “I’m sorry. You were saying the new equipment was a godsend, and the back-up generator was long overdue.”

He chuckled. “That was two minutes ago. I was just saying the new owners are great, and I can’t wait to see what will happen with the place.” He tapped another piece of equipment. “This bad boy will ensure the guests have hot water for years to come.”

“I’m glad you’re pleased. Allie assures me every department will get what they need.” She looked down at the clipboard in her hand. She wouldn’t ask everyone this question, because in her mind only two people besides her could run the resort. “Are you disappointed you didn’t get the job as general manager? You would have made a great one.”

He shook his head. “No, you’re perfect for the position. I’m not a people person, which is why engineering suits me well. I’m more analytical than social. Had they chosen me, I would have questioned their intelligence.”

“Don’t think I haven’t. I’m not sure I’m the right choice either, but I’ll make sure I do my best, and that means everyone will be taken care of.”

He walked her to the door. “That’s why they chose you.”

She smiled and took the elevator up. It stopped one floor up, and James walked in.

Every cell in her body woke up. “Are you stalking me?” he asked.

“What? Of course not.”

At the next floor, the elevator stopped again, and one of his crew members got on. James moved closer to her. His hand skimmed hers until the next stop when his man left, and another entered.

“Got the tiles laid today,” the man said. “Love that granite Allie picked out.”

“Beautiful,” James replied, but something told her he wasn’t talking to the worker. As they made their way up to another floor, he moved his hand to her back, where he drew circles up and down her spine. Every cell in her being tingled.

“Where are you headed?” he whispered.

“Fifth floor to see Willetta. What about you?” Although there was a man standing in front of them, they were alone. Just the two of them sharing a private bubble.

“I’m heading to ten unless you need me for anything?”

She leaned into him. “Nope, I’m good.”

The door opened, and the other man left. She waited for someone else to enter, but no one did. When the door closed, he moved fast, pressing her against the wall and kissing her. The air left her lungs. The man made her breathless.

When he pulled away. He smiled. “I’ve been craving that kiss all day.”

“Me too.” She giggled like a schoolgirl.

“Any chance you can get away for lunch? I know this great little studio apartment behind your office.
