Chapter 11

Wesley tapped softly on Bree’s hotel-room door. She didn’t answer right away.

He wouldn’t blame her if she’d fallen asleep. After climbing Looking Glass Rock Trail and a quick drive to Looking Glass Falls, they’d grabbed fast food and returned to their respective rooms for a quick shower and change before heading out again.

Wes knocked again, louder this time.

“I’m ready.” Bree rushed out of the door, filling the space between them with the scent of fresh summer peaches. Her hair, still wet from the shower, was pulled into a high ponytail.

She wore a casual dress in a bold handkerchief-style print. The vivid orange with accents of pink and teal suited Bree well. A nude leather belt cinched her waist. A tan jacket and nude ballet flats with an ankle strap completed the look.

Casual, but sexy. Funky, but not over the top.

“Something wrong?” Bree’s gaze dropped to her feet. She flexed her leg, showing off a sexy, heart-shaped calf.

“Everything’s good.” Wes steered her down the hallway to the elevator.

The valet brought the car and they went just a little way up the street before he turned onto Biltmore Estate Drive.

“We’re going to tour the house?” Bree’s eyes lit up. She was clearly thrilled.

“Couldn’t bring you to Asheville without taking you for a tour of the largest private residence and the most visited winery in America.” Wes chuckled.

They parked and he opened her car door. His gaze instantly followed her mile-long legs to the hem of her dress, which ended well above her knees. Wes extended his hand to her, helping her out of the car. They made their way to the main house.

Wes had toured Biltmore before. But Bree’s amazement as they toured the home, with its beautiful atrium, lavish furniture, extensive library and impressive grounds, made him feel he was seeing it all for the first time. There was something about her wide-eyed wonder and pure fascination with the estate that reminded him how genuine she was and how much he enjoyed being with her.

Maybe he wasn’t a science nerd, but he was fascinated by history. It was the reason he’d visited the historic property, and several others all over the world, whenever his schedule permitted.

Bree squeezed his arm as she related her enchantment with the estate’s incredible library of more than twenty-two thousand volumes.

“Relax, Belle,” he teased. “There’s a lot more to see.”

His Beauty and the Beast reference wasn’t lost on her. Bree pursed her lips and propped a fist on her hip.

“I happen to love that movie, and I know every single word to every single song. Call me Belle again and I’ll start singing to the top of my lungs about the simplicity of this provincial life.” She cocked an eyebrow that dared him to try her.

“You win.” He couldn’t help but grin. “Still, you can’t deny the similari—”

Bree spread her arms and opened her mouth, preparing to go into song, when he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.

They both dissolved into a fit of laughter that caused the people around them to give them odd looks.
