CADENCE

Sharing a room.

I’m sharing a room with Levi Maxon. My boss, who scares the hell out of me, but if I’m honest, is also sort of the hottest man I’ve ever seen, much less spoken to. Much less shared a room with.

When we walked in and saw the ocean and the champagne, I knew I was in trouble. For Levi, this is work. I’m his assistant. Hell, I’m getting paid to be here.

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel something between us, so I had to get out of there before I did or said something to make a fool of myself.

Only now I’m stuck in this bedroom, pretending to take a nap when all I can do is stare at the ceiling and think about how much I want him to kiss me. Which is completely inappropriate and could compromise the job I’m here to do (and the paycheck I’m here to earn).

Nothing can happen between us.

He doesn’t even want anything to happen. He’s a gorgeous gazillionaire and I’m like a character out of a Charles Dickens novel. The man is curious about me because I might as well come from a different planet as far as he’s concerned…

There’s of course another problem, too. One that I’m hoping won’t even come up, if I can manage to keep things completely professional. One I don’t even want to imagine talking to Levi Maxon about.

And that’s when I finally drift off to a fitful sleep.

I wake up to see a brilliant pink and purple sky out the window as the sun begins to sink.

Holy shit, how long was I asleep?

I fumble for my phone and see that I’ve been out for nearly three hours. I scramble out of bed and into the bathroom, barely pausing to take in the enormous claw foot tub, tile floors and walk-in granite shower.

I peer in the mirror and re-braid my hair to tame the frizzies that have escaped, then splash some cold water onto my face. After my two-minute beauty routine I manage to look slightly less zombie like.

I give my cheeks a pinch in the mirror, trying to bring out some color, a trick I learned from one of my many Little Women readings as a kid.

Then I take a deep breath.

“Ok, Cady, you can do this. Just chill out and act professional,” I tell my reflection, but the personal pep talk only sends my heart into a crazy jazz rhythm that makes me feel like I could pass out. I take another deep breath to nearly no affect, then decide I can’t hide out in here much longer.

I slowly slide the door open and step out into the living room.

Levi is on the couch, his feet up on the coffee table, his laptop in his lap. He didn’t hear the door, and so I have a moment to study him before he notices me.

His focus is on the screen in front of him, his brow furrowed, his jaw set in a firm line.
