Chapter Seven

An exclusive honeymoon suite in the resort’s main lodge had been booked for them. But after Holly and Bo were cheered out of the wedding reception with a shower of wildflowers tossed by their guests, Holly was ready to crash on anything—even an air mattress in the back of a pickup.

Yet she was the mayor candidate’s wife now, and Bo had seen to it that she would be treated like one.

As she entered their room ahead of Bo and the bellboy, her nerves reared up, bucking and pawing.

It wasn’t due to the extraordinary sunset view of the private cottages and mountains outside of a window that stretched from one end of the suite to the other. Her anxiety hadn’t even been spurred by the luxuries, such as a wide-screen plasma TV, a minibar and a linen-draped dining table that had been set up in the connected lounge, complete with silver candlesticks and scattered rose petals…

As Holly rested her luggage on the thick carpet, she tried not to glance again into the other room through the adjoining door, where a king-size bed peeked through sheer drapes of A Thousand and One Nights netting. A hot tub big enough for two waited nearby.

What had she gotten herself into?

Bo folded a tip into the bellboy’s palm, and the kid thanked him, leaving with a huge smile on his face, closing the door behind him.

The slight click of the lock jerked Holly’s next to last nerve.

“So…?” Bo asked, sauntering to the lounge area, tossing his overnight bag onto a cushiony velvet sofa. “What do you think?”

How could he be so calm? Weren’t the rose petals, the hot tub—or good heavens, the bed?—freaking him out in the least?

No, of course not. Bo, still dressed in his tuxedo and cowboy hat, was taking all the accoutrements of their charade in stride. In fact, he had that devilish gleam in his eyes again, as if he’d been waiting to see her reaction to what he must’ve known would be waiting for them inside this room.

Okay. She could be casual about this, as well. After all, the hotel staff needed to believe things were going to get romantic on this well-publicized wedding night, so there would have to be an ooo-la-la dinner and so on.

She could play along, just like always.

Holly went to the window. If she was going to comment on anything, it was going to be the view. “The coordinator really did her job right. I’ll have to tell Rose that this room was a good call.”

“Only the best for my bride.” Bo fell back onto the sofa, kicking his booted feet up on the wide mahogany table and tossing his hat onto a nearby chair. Clasping his hands behind his head, he reclined, sending a roguish waggle of his brows to Holly. “What do we do now?”

Za-zoom.

Holly now knew what it sounded like when anxiety shot through the roof and into the stratosphere.

What to say to him, her husband?

What to do with him…?

Get yourself in order, Hol.
