CHAPTER THIRTEEN

L owell’s private study room is tucked at the back of a private hallway shooting off of the main library. I never would have found him here, but I guess these rooms are so well-known that he just assumed I’d know where to find him.

“Unbelievable,” I mutter under my breath.

Our presence in the passageway has activated an automatic lighting system, and the lights have tracked us to his study room’s door.

He notices the surprised look on my face as he pulls out his key. I’m still only halfway down the hallway, shocked by the technology. “Body heat sensors control the light. Now, come on in closer, or you’ll never see what’s here. My invitations are not common. Only five people, including myself, have been in this space since they completed it last year, and it’s the nicest of the study rooms.”

I sense the smugness, and wonder if I should feel special about what he’s just told me. It’s not like I have any say in this choice to work with Lowell.

Doesn’t he get it?

That aside, the set-up impresses me. The lighting gave the passageway a beautiful, calming aura. There’s an engraved nameplate on the door, with Lowell’s full name in gold letters. I’m betting the cherry oak door cost a small fortune, too.

“Do you want to help me, or do I have to slide it in myself?”

We’re back to the sexual inuendo, I see. I roll my eyes, hiding my disgust behind a smirk.

He huffs and scans the key card against the small black box next to the door.

As soon as the door opens, I struggle to hide my amazement, but my eyes widen and my mouth might as well drop to the floor.

Damn.

This study room is sweeter than some people’s apartments.

For a study room, it’s enormous, and it has almost everything one could think of. Two high-backed rolling chairs cradle a reading table that holds a laptop. There’s an oversized couch made of finely polished leather. A side-by-side refrigerator stands in the kitchenette with a microwave and flat-top range, all stainless steel. The marble countertop holds bowls of assorted fruit and granola bars. A large, black flat-screen television hangs against an accent wall opposite the couch. There’s also a closed door leading to what I imagine must be a pristine bathroom.

“I don’t get a thing done unless I’m comfortable,” Lowell says with a sigh. “Ah, I’m glad to see they provided snacks for us today. I made a note that the room would be in use this week,” he adds, looking to me for approval.

I try to hide any reaction, but it’s hard not to be impressed.

Before he leads me in, Lowell places his hand under his chin for emphasis and pushes it up. “Chin up, darling. Don’t stand there like a mute. Close your mouth and get in here. We have work to do.”

Forcing my mouth closed, I finally find my voice. “Yes, you have all the comfort you need in here. Add a bedroom and you may as well live at S.
