Chapter 6

Maxwell

There are things I should be doing today. Our contractor in Seattle has questions on the designs for the new tower. Clint warned me that building the hotel of the future in the midst of a technological mecca would pose unique problems, but somehow, he’s making it work. When it’s done, it will be as much of an escape as anything Vegas has ever come up with. Especially if you like virtual reality.

I make a note to ask him for input on the South Africa project as well. Building something sustainable is hard enough in Seattle. South Africa may prove impossible. One misstep and the whole project will fall apart. He can join me in my meeting with the law firm there next week. Usually meeting with lawyers is torture, but the partner helping with contracts there may be the first lawyer I’ve ever really liked. Simeon Breitenbach seems truly dedicated to improving his country and the lives of the people there. If one hotel can help, I’m determined to make it work.

All thoughts of work and sustainable building disappear when she steps into the small lobby. I’ll admit that when she walked away I watched that little sundress swish across her sun-tanned thighs and cursed the thought of her changing. I’ve always been a sucker for short skirts, especially when I’m familiar with the firm ass hiding just underneath. It turns out, I may be a fan of khaki shorts as well. And hiking boots.

She seemed unsure when Stacy showed up with bags of clothes and shoes, but I can tell she’s happier now. Her long ponytail is draped over her shoulder and her smile is wide. She stops in front of me and taps the toe of her hiking boot against mine.

“You look like something out of a sports magazine. Did Stacy have to outfit you too?”

“I didn’t have any hiking boots here, if that’s what you mean.” I pull her into a long kiss before heading to the rooftop elevator. I should probably keep my hands to myself in public, but I’m finding it hard to behave.

“You seriously don’t own hiking boots?” Her words are breathless but I’m willing to bet it’s from that kiss, not my lack of hiking boots.

“I own hiking boots. I just don’t have them here. It was supposed to be a quick trip. I don’t actually live here.”

“Oh.” The sudden wrinkle between her eyebrows is adorable. “Where do you live?”

“All over, really. I have hotels all over the world. I move around depending on the project. I was just here to meet a business associate.”

I flash my badge in the elevator but hold tight to her hand as we ascend. Any questions are cut off by the chirp of her phone. She looks at it and smiles, then tucks it away.

“You found your phone.”

“Cici brought it to me. She tracked me down while I was changing.”

“What did you tell her?” I’m curious how honest she will be with her friend.

“I told
