Chapter Fifteen

Elliot

After a long drive to get to Lake Tahoe, I wasn’t about to say no to the optional hike, even though I should have. There’s eight of us following a guide through the giant pine trees, the dirt trail an easy walk with inspiring views of the deep blue lake in the distance. More stimulating to me, however, is the female body in front of me. I can’t take my eyes off Madison’s long legs and round ass covered in black skin-tight workout wear.

I’ve tried. Trust me, I’ve tried. But I’ve been to Tahoe before and the sight right in front of me is so much better.

The agenda for the weekend is very loose, with only three mandatory sessions beginning tomorrow morning. It’s James’s goal that those meetings, combined with unstructured free time, will give his employees a chance to bond away from work and build deeper relationships.

I’d like to bury myself deep inside Madison.

Dude, breathe in the fresh air and take in the snowcapped mountains, not your assistant’s sexy backside.

Madison glances over her shoulder at me. She’s so damn adorable, checking to make sure I’m still behind her. We’re the last two in the single-file line. Drake is up at the front with a couple of other people from the San Francisco office.

Discussion between the group members has centered on what everyone plans to eat once we return to civilization. Auggie, in the middle of our line, makes it sound like we’re so far from the hotel we may starve first. She’s a natural-born leader and jokester and has no problem poking fun at herself.

“Okay everyone,” she calls out. “Time to break into song. This is to the tune of ‘These are a Few of My Favorite Things,’ so sing with me, people: when your stride breaks, when your foot aches, when I’m moving too slow, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so low.” She repeats the refrain until we all join in. She’s got a killer voice. I can’t say the same for the rest of us. Then someone shouts out, “How about ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’?” Auggie gives a “Yes!” and we change songs.

I’ve just managed to get my eyes fixed on the sway of Madison’s ponytail when out of nowhere she goes down.

“Ow!” she cries out, but no one else hears her over the singing. She rolls onto her butt, holding her left leg at the knee.

I immediately kneel down to help her. “What happened? You okay?”

“I twisted my ankle and hit my knee on the way down.”

The guide notices we’re not following and directs Drake to continue leading while she hurries to us. Of course that leads all eyes to Madison and the group stops, like any tight-knit team would.

“I’m okay,” Madison says, sounding embarrassed. “Please keep going and we’ll catch up.”

“You sure?” Drake calls.

“Positive!”

“Can I take a look?” the guide asks, lifting her backpack off and unzipping it.
