Chapter Four

“You brought an overnight bag?” Leo asked as they walked away from the reception desk. He’d always thought he had a gift for reading people, but Cat kept him off-balance. They’d met before, he’d bet his life on it. But the when, where, and how continued to elude him.

She stuffed her gloves into the mid-sized duffel they’d retrieved from the front desk. Dimples formed in her cheeks when she faced him and smiled. “I came prepared to stay the night.” When he stared at her, she nodded. “Doing the walk of shame in an all-leather Catwoman costume would be a new low, not to mention uncomfortable.”

He glanced at the pink satchel, his brain working overtime to tease apart the anomaly. Then he matched its length with the height of her boots. “You changed into the costume here, didn’t you? It’s why you have spare clothes.”

She tripped on her own feet, but he’d been prepared to catch her. Very few things pleased him more than being right. Closing his hands around her waist, he pulled her in to his chest and filled his lungs with her scent. She smelled fresh and minty.

“I’ll take that as a yes. Any chance you’ll let me carry the bag for you?”

She softened in his arms for a moment before her spine snapped straight. “I don’t need a man to lift my stuff. You think you’re very smart, don’t you?”

“It’s a proven fact.” His parents had his IQ tested at the age of five, after sending him to an expensive kindergarten for future geniuses. His scoring a few points shy of the categorization had been a huge disappointment, or so he’d been told.

Reaching the small bank of elevators, she pressed the up button. “But you didn’t expect me to sleep with you tonight.”

He leaned his shoulder against the cold marble. She had such a superior expression, he couldn’t resist commenting. “I’m pretty sure you didn’t plan on coming up until about fifteen minutes ago.”

She shrugged. “I’ll admit it. This was a spur-of-the-moment decision. But once I set my mind to something, I see it through—despite the possibility of dire consequences.”

Why had it taken him this long to realize he appreciated honesty in women? “If you end up backpedaling, I like to think I’d be cool with it.”

“You’re not sure?” She slung the thick strap over one shoulder. Contrasting black and shocking pink made for a comical combination.

“Let’s just say, I’d use every trick in the book to get you to change your mind.” And thanks to Jack and their colorful past, he had a number of ideas at his disposal.

Thick metal doors slid open. They marched into the empty elevator. An older model, it had a bronze front, mirrors on the three walls, and beige marble floors. He sniffed the air and smiled at the scent of disinfectant and polish.

As the exit sealed shut, she pivoted to face him. “So, what do you plan on doing to me in the No Dreams Required suite?”

The old-school dial edged along the semicircle of numbers to indicate their ascent.
