I really liked Laura, Alistair’s cousin. They seemed close. I couldn’t help but notice that she was watching the two of us during dinner. I really hoped that she couldn’t pick up that I was attracted to Alistair. I was trying as hard as I could to fight the way he was suddenly making me feel. This was business. I was used to putting business first, so I didn’t understand why it was proving to be difficult with Alistair.
After dinner and another bottle of wine, I decided to go up to bed. I wanted to give Alistair some time with Laura and her husband. After all, I wasn’t really a guest. Instead, I was more like a member of staff… just with a fancier room.
Before I could go upstairs, Alistair pulled me aside. “Since we pretty much handled all of the details of the party today, I thought I’d take you on an adventure tomorrow. We could have a little fun before the busy weekend hits. How do you feel about hiking? It’s more of a relaxing stroll to a waterfall, though.”
I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “I love hiking and am more than happy to take a relaxing stroll. But I have to admit, I didn’t see that as being your kind of thing. You continue to surprise me. I’m continuously impressed by you.” I blushed as I said that last part and then pecked him on the cheek goodnight and escaped upstairs.
I fell asleep easily and without much effort. I had weird dreams about the weekend and how the party was going to turn out.

At one point in the dream, he turned to me, briefly touched my cheek and kissed me. It was such an intimate moment that when I woke up, I felt a little strange that I would be seeing him shortly and likely spending the day alone together.
At 7:30 am, Eddie knocked on my door. “Mr. Alistair has requested that you join him at 8 am to leave for the hike. He has packed a picnic, so he says not to worry about fitting in breakfast.”
I simply nodded and then walked over to the closet to find some clothes to wear for the day. I pulled out a pair of leggings that I usually went running in and an oversized white T-shirt with a pair of running shoes. I looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I looked good for someone about to go out into nature. I used to hate my curves, but in the past few years, I’d learned to love them and I thought my curvy ass and thighs looked great in the leggings.
Alistair was waiting for me at the bottom of the staircase. Something in my stomach flipped when I saw him. I
