Spencer was given the kind of suite Con’s name always seemed to make available, full of simply styled but high-end furniture and fancy accessories the hotel managers weren’t afraid of losing—or rather, believed they could collect on, if inventory went missing. The lounge area had it all: a cozy conversation area in front of the fire, a short bar with a kitchenette behind it, an oak table with straight-backed chairs and a desk approximately a quarter mile wide with an ergonomic executive chair tucked beneath it. There was a king-sized bed in one bedroom, two doubles in the other and the sofa likely hid a bed. The suite would have slept eight—nine if someone wanted to curl up on the sheepskin in front of the gas fire. Nice, but overkill, since Spencer anticipated waiting here about an hour before heading back to Greenbowl.
Or maybe less. The door had barely clicked closed behind them when Laila said, “Where is she?”
“I didn’t say she’d be in this room.”
Laila swiveled back to the door.
Spencer figured Con was entitled to fire him over this fiasco, but he still wanted to give Con a head’s up as to why Laila was pursuing the story. He picked up the phone.
At the sound of the lifted receiver, Laila paused and leaned against the door to wait while he dialed the front desk and asked for Con’s room.
“No answer,” he told her.
She sighed and pushed off the door, then dug in her bag for a mobile phone. “I’ll check my voice mail and I need to call my producer. He wasn’t happy about my coming here. In fact, I’d be better equipped to sweet talk him if I had something concrete to give him,” she said pointedly.
Spencer lifted his hands, palms up, willing to give her everything he had, but it was damned little. What he really wanted to give her was a proper kiss.
No, that was too much to hope for. At fifteen, Laila had thrown herself at him, but the physical intimacy she had encouraged had been a means of getting the affection and attention she had really craved. He would have taken her up on it if he hadn’t been too shy to strip when they were so likely to be interrupted.
Shyness had held him back from some profound experiences over the years. Things might have been different for him now if he had taken advantage of her then.
Things certainly would have had a different outcome for her, if he’d been another kind of boy. He had been in awe of her and had treated her as the special person he had known her to be. Still was, because she had turned into a fine woman. Very fine.
While he fiddled with the sound system he found tucked in an armoire beside the fireplace, he admired the curve of her neck, the slope of her back. She had nice shoulders, feminine and narrow, and they tapered to a trim waist until her very excellent booty filled out the seat of her baggy beige pants.
