Chapter Seven

“Room?” Camilla asked. “I think you mean the plural. Rooms. As in one for each of us.”

“I’ll go see what Brandy and Joey are up to,” her dad mumbled, wandering off.

The clerk looked uncomfortably between her and Mason. “I’m sorry. I thought Mr. Talbot’s assistant specified one room for the both of you. The best we had.”

With the glare Talbot was giving the clerk now, she wouldn’t be surprised if he bought the whole hotel chain to fire the poor guy. He had probably instructed Marcia to tell the front desk to pretend there was only one room left or some other crap.

Good old, straightforward Mason Talbot was learning a few new tricks to go with his otherwise clueless “Got sex?” approach to satisfying his biological urges. Nice to know her brief tenure as his in-house counsel had accomplished something.

“I’d like a separate room,” she said to the clerk. “And if you plan on claiming there’s only one room left in the whole hotel, you can give me the key to it, and Mr. Talbot here can sleep on a chair in your lovely lounge there.”

The clerk’s helpless panicked look at Mason almost made her feel sorry for him. But Mason said nothing.

“No, we have another room of course. We have one hundred and twenty rooms in this hotel. Just not another, er, Bridal Suite. That’s the best room we’ve got. The others that are left are regular singles.”

“I’ll take the Bridal Suite,” she decided immediately, resolving to have her parents see the room was just hers and explain the “confusion” before they went to dinner. “You can give Mr. Talbot a regular room.”

He deserved it for assuming she would share a room with him now that they were back in civilization and for not making it clear once her parents showed up that he needed different arrangements. She wasn’t too happy with Marcia, either, if this was her doing. She at least should have known better.

The clerk handed her the key and she added, “And let me hasten to inform you that I’m an attorney, and if you give the key to my room to anyone else without my express permission, I’ll sue the pants off you. Got it?”

The clerk nodded. She had planned to either invite Mason to her room to talk or go to his, maybe even invite him to dinner with her family, but his incredible gall in arranging one room made her think better of it. It was probably safer for both of them now if she just talked to him in the morning anyway. They needed some distance from each other after the intensity of the last day.

“Good night, Mr. Talbot,” she said, heading toward her parents. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

Mason said nothing.

Yep, everything back to nice and normal.

The clerk stammered his apologies as Mason tuned him out. He was dialing Marcia.

“How did it go?” she asked as she picked up.

“Like shit. She stormed off to her own room.”

“Mason! What did you say to her?”

“Nothing.
