Chapter 24

Cash ushered Ruthie into a building on the Upper East Side. She dodged some scaffolding and looked up curiously. Though the building was nice (actually that was an understatement, it was magical!) it wasn’t the hotel she was expecting.

“Where are we?” Ruthie asked as she glanced around the lobby. Men and women dressed to the nines walked past her and once again she couldn’t help but regret her choice in wardrobe. She cleared her throat. “Cash? Is this a hotel?”

Cash eyed Ruthie and laughed. “Of course not. I live here.”

“You do?” Ruthie gaped. She felt a wave of butterflies rush through her. There was no way he was planning on having her spend the night with him…right?

Cash laughed once again and brought her to the farthest elevator in the lobby. Unlike regular elevators, this one had no buttons. Cash reached into his wallet and took out a shiny black card, swiping it through a card reader. He stepped back and grabbed Ruthie’s hand. Ruthie was aware that a layer of moisture covered the inside of her palm. She blushed, hoping the clamminess wouldn’t gross him out.

The two waited until the elevator opened with a DING. “Ladies first,” Cash said smoothly. He motioned towards the elevator and followed right after her.

They rode in silence, listening to some awesome elevator music. Gone was the stereotypical Muzak and in its place was…well, some music Ruthie was definitely planning to Shazam at a later time. She focused on the melody, trying to push away any dirty thoughts. About a week ago she had just finished reading an exceptionally sexy book. One particular scene about a billionaire having his way in an elevator particularly stuck in her mind.

“So…” Ruthie’s voice trailed off. She couldn’t stand the awkward silence anymore and was in desperate need to fill it with anything. She even considered humming, but didn’t want to look too much like a goofball.

“So, you ready for tonight?” Cash finished for her. He reached out and ran his finger up and down her arm.

Ruthie gulped. “What’s going on tonight?”

“Dinner with me and maybe some fun afterwards?” He winked suggestively.

Her head snapped forward like a rubber band. “Where will I be staying tonight?” Her voice came out somewhat hysterical and she found herself coughing, trying to cover it up.

Cash raised a questioning eyebrow but merely shrugged. “With me, of course! Where else?”

Ruthie let out a fake giggle. “Yeah, where else?”

The elevator ride couldn’t have gone any slower. When the doors finally opened, Ruthie practically sprinted out before realizing that she had no idea where she was going. Attempting to play it cool, she spun on her heel and waited for Cash to saunter by. In one smooth movement he grabbed her waist and twirled her around so she collapsed into his arms. She let out a breath, surprised at the sudden movement.

“I know I said I wanted to take you to dinner tonight, but what do you think about room service?” Cash’s voice was so smooth that no matter how badly she wanted to go out on the town, her heart screamed, ‘yes, please.
