Hours later, Candace woke up to an empty bed.

Damn. She glanced around until she found the red glowing numbers of the clock that told her that it was eight o’clock. “At night?” She snatched the sheets back and jumped out of bed. At the window, she jerked back the curtains and blinked stupidly at two things: the moon and the snow.

“What the hell?” Candace raked her hands through her hair and was very tempted to pull it out by its roots.

Shaking her head, she rushed over to her bags. On her phone, she was shocked to read she had fifty-three missed messages. She called Mia while she pulled clothes out of her bag and started getting dressed. “Hey, Mia. It’s Candace. What on earth happened to my reservations at the Hotel Le Meurice? I got here and they said that you didn’t book me until tomorrow.”

“That’s strange. I know I booked them.”

Candace could hear her assistant shuffle paper around. “Doesn’t matter. I need for you to book me somewhere else or I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. As bad luck would have it, I had to crash in Starks’s room for the day. By the way, what the hell is he doing here? You heard anything in the office about what business meeting he’s supposed to have here?”

“Um, no—but I’ll find out. Now, what do you mean that you had to crash with him?” Mia’s voice lowered. “You don’t mean that you two are sharing a room, do you?”

“Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I mean. That’s why I need you to find me another hotel room ASAP. The man is seriously working my nerves.” She pulled her New York Jets T-shirt over her head. “I…”

The suite’s door flew open and Montel breezed in with a smile and then froze. A shocked Candace stood in the center of the living room area naked. Long legs, nice ass, but it was her full breasts complete with chocolate-capped nipples that drew his eyes and caused his mouth to water.

“Candace? What’s wrong? Are you still there?” Mia asked.

Finally snapping out her trance, Candace grabbed a pillow from the sofa and tried to cover herself. “You’re just going to stand there and gawk at me? You see I’m naked!”

Montel slapped a hand over his eyes.

“Excuse me?” Mia shrieked.

“Not you, Mia. I’ll call you back.” Candace disconnected the call and tossed the phone on the sofa. When her gaze returned to Montel, she caught him peeking through his fingers. “What are you—five?”

Laughing, Montel finally turned around. “What do you expect when you go flashing those babies all willy-nilly? You can’t just spring that on a man and not expect him to think it’s his birthday.”

“You have issues.”

“But you knew that already.” He listened as she shuffled through bags. “Can I turn around now?”

“I don’t care what you do. I’m getting out of here.” Candace headed to the bathroom and slammed and locked the door behind her. Ten minutes later, she emerged from the shower and raced back over to her clothes.
