Chapter 11

Kimberly debated what to wear for her dinner with Jaxon until it was nearly time for him to arrive. She finally settled on a bronze V-neck peplum top, skinny jeans, chandelier earrings, her favorite stilettos and a clutch. She wanted to wear something sexy rather than the stuffy suits and dresses that Jaxon saw her in most days. She wanted him to see that she was capable of letting her hair down and being carefree.

Though she supposed he may have caught that from the abandoned way she’d behaved in bed the day before. He probably thought her some sex-crazed nympho given that she’d been more than happy to stay in bed with him all day with a break only to eat room service.

She added a gold necklace, since the deep plunge of the top would show off her cleavage. She surveyed herself in her pedestal mirror. She sure hoped Jaxon liked what he saw when she opened the door. She had just sprayed perfume to her wrists, earlobes and cleavage when the bell rang. Her stomach vibrated as if a swarm of bees had gathered there. How could she still be nervous at seeing him considering how intimate they’d been? In actuality, this was their first real date. Most of their encounters centered around the Belleza, but now they were charting new territory.

She opened the door and Jaxon spun around to face her. His dark smoldering gaze sent a shiver up her spine as it surveyed every inch of her. In jeans that hugged his thighs and a purple button-down shirt open at the throat, he looked fine himself.

“You look good enough to eat,” Jaxon said as he brushed his soft lips across hers.

“Thank you.”

“You ready to go?”

She nodded and grabbed her clutch from the side table. “Yes, I can’t wait.” She closed the door behind her and locked it. “So where are we going?”

“You’ll see.” He grasped her hand and together they walked down the stairs to the car he’d rented.

Jaxon had good taste. The silver Jaguar was sleek and sophisticated with a supple leather interior and all the latest technology. He helped her into the passenger seat before going around to the driver’s side. But before he turned over the engine, he leaned over to give her another kiss, except this one was longer, deeper and stirring. Kimberly could feel her toes curling in her stilettos. He eventually kicked the engine into gear and they set off. She didn’t know where they were going; she just knew she would enjoy whatever it was because she was with Jaxon.

“How was your day today? Any more bad reviews?” he inquired.

“No, thank God,” Kimberly replied, “but I still suspect someone is trying to sabotage the resort so I’m hiring a private investigator.”

“You think it’s that serious?” He hazarded a glance in her direction.

“Could be. I just can’t take any chances that this might spiral out of control. I’m trying to cover all my bases.”

“I think that’s wise, but what about your family?”

“Now that’s another story,” she responded.
