Chapter Nine

Charley woke her second morning in Spain and lay still, taking a moment to soak in her luxurious surroundings.

They’d been at the Westin Palace in Madrid for two days now, in the Royal Suite. It was far and away the most beautiful place she’d ever stayed. And not just because of the gorgeous accommodations.

She’d never in her wildest dreams thought she’d be in Spain. She could hardly believe she was there. Until she’d met Chris, she had never even left the country. And here she was a world traveler, already in her second country and, knowing Chris, who knew how many more before she would return home?

She’d expected this trip to be tedious, at best. She didn’t even want to think about her worst-case scenario. Though it had something to do with being locked in a cage surrounded by sharks or spelunking through spider-infested caves. So far, though, the trip had been…well, pretty fantastic. Aside from the whole getting chased out of the casino thing and momentary flashes of terror that Chris’s little excursions sparked, she’d enjoyed herself much more than she thought possible. Of course, today was a new day. Who knew what he had in store for them now?

And speaking of Chris and sparks…she closed her eyes again and let out a long, shaky breath as every second of their interlude under the waterfall replayed in her mind.

She’d been legitimately terrified when whatever that slimy creature had been brushed by her leg. And when she’d climbed up Chris’s tall, strong body, the only thing she’d been thinking was that she wanted to escape the certain death that was swimming around in the water.

But once she was safely perched on top of him, a whole lot of other issues had made themselves glaringly obvious. One, her body had been very, very happy to be wrapped around him. Two, her brain stopped telling her to get out of the danger zone and started coming up with all kinds of really fun ways to take advantage of the position she’d managed to put them in. And three, as far as she could tell, he would have been totally on board with all of it.

And all of the above added up to be a serious problem.

Before she could stress over it more, her phone buzzed, and she grabbed it with her heart in her throat. The rush of disappointment that flashed through her when she saw it wasn’t him was further sign that she was teetering on a dangerous precipice.

She put the phone on speaker and flopped back on her pillows. “Hey, Izzy. What’s up?”

“You sound like you’re in a lovely mood. How’s the trip going?”

Charley sighed. “Okay.”

Izzy laughed. “Yeah, sounds like it.”

“Sorry, I just woke up. Everything really is fine.”

“You guys jetted out of here so fast the other day, I didn’t get a chance to say good-bye.”

“Yeah, sorry about that. Chris seems like he flies by the seat of his pants most of the time.”

Izzy snorted. “Understatement of the year.
