Chapter Nine

Okay, how did I get here? Mikayla wondered, looking around the luxury hotel’s glamorous lobby. A couple of weeks ago, she’d been counting dollar bills in her head to figure out when she’d pay off her baby’s crib from layaway. Now she was flying in private jets and staying in fancy hotels with a millionaire. A millionaire she’d slept with! If anyone had told her back in early August that this would be her life, she would have burst out laughing and said, Good one. But this was her life. She wasn’t having an extended dream. She was really here. Doing this. With Jensen Jones.

All because I was craving a donut one summer day, she thought with a smile, recalling the morning she met Jensen for the first time. The universe really does work in mysterious ways.

Their room turned out to be a corner suite, of course. She should have known. The view of the Las Vegas Strip from the fifty-first floor, the sparkling lights, the constant thrum of activity took her breath away.

“So what’s on our agenda?” she asked, turning to face him.

“I thought we’d start with a bubble bath. Together,” he said. “Then we’ll dress for dinner and spend some time in the casino. I’m not much of a gambler, but it’s fun to play a little.”

“What’s wrong?” he asked, and she realized he was watching her with concern.

“My overnight bag contains a ten-dollar dress I bought in a thrift shop back in Cheyenne, one that would grow with me over the months of my pregnancy. It’s black, at least, but it’s hardly elegant. Or fancy. I didn’t really know what to expect, I guess.”

“Mikayla, I’m being dead serious when I tell you that you would make a burlap sack look beautiful and elegant. I’m sure you’ll be absolutely lovely in your grow-with-you dress.”

When she’d first met Jensen, she would have taken that as a line, nothing more. But Jensen was always sincere, and his kindness, his thoughtfulness, moved her so much that for a moment she couldn’t speak. Until she remembered something about the thrift shop dress. Her frown was back. “It stopped growing with me two months ago. But it’ll do in a pinch.”

He squeezed her hand and gave her the dazzling smile that also tended to render her speechless. “Tell you what,” he said. “Why don’t you go start our bubble bath and I’ll order up some herbal tea and something sweet. We’ll have the most Zen bath ever.”

Jensen naked and all hers in a bath, feeding her something sweet. Something with whipped cream would be an added bonus. “I hope the sex isn’t all that Zen,” she said like a nymphomaniac. “I want crazed and wild.”

She couldn’t help but think of her last relationship, how
