Chapter Eight
WHILE Iâm in the shower, Landon cleans up and changes into a fresh suit. I hear him leave the bathroom before I finish, and I wrap myself in one of his robes and pad over to the dressing room to find the clothes Laurie sent for me. The ivory sheath dressâone of my favoritesâis hanging from the rack. My shoes are on the floor beneath it, and my change of underwear is inside a small shopping bag, placed on one of the shelves beside my handbag.
I dress quickly and run Landonâs comb through my hair before securing it in a quick braid. In the bedroom, I toss my phone and the purse from last night into my bag then make my way downstairs.
Landon is in the kitchen, seated at the island. Thereâs a pot of coffee with eggs and light fluffy pancakes. The delicious smell reminds me that I havenât eaten since early last night. Landonâs eyes flick over me when I join him, showing the quick flare of desire that always does things to my insides.
âYou didnât snap your fingers and conjure breakfast out of thin air,â I remark playfully. âEven you donât have those powers.â
âI donât, but I have a dedicated chef in the hotel kitchen.â He pulls out a seat. âEat. Youâre almost late.â
âI know.â I take the proffered seat and pour myself some coffee, adding a generous serving of cream and sugar. The pancakes are delicious, and the eggs are heavenly enough to make me sad when my plate is finally empty.
âWhat are you doing this weekend?â Landon asks.
I give him a naughty smile. âYou, if Iâm lucky.â
âIf Iâm lucky,â he corrects, chuckling. âI have to work this weekend,â he tells me. âIâm going to Newport to look at a property.â
Disappointment floods through me. âSo youâll be gone the entire weekend?â
He nods.
I frown, realizing that Iâve been looking forward to spending the weekend with him. I hadnât considered what a busy man he was; thatâs something else I have to keep in mind, I tell myself, now that we are officially in a relationship. I have to make sure I donât become that girl, waiting for him to have time for me.
âI want you to come with me,â he says.
âOh.â Iâm delighted, but also wary. âBut youâll be working.â
He gives me a meaningful look. âNot all the time.â
I raise my brows. âAnd when you are, what will I be doing with myself?â
He strokes a finger over the side of my mouth, flicking a spot of sauce from my lips. âYouâll be waiting, naked, in bed.â He sounds like heâs teasing, but he looks serious. I consider the image. Itâs tempting for sure, but deep down, I suspect that the surest way to hasten the end of our relationship is to become his idle arm-candy.
I shake my head. âI donât think so.â
âHow can I convince you?â He leans back. âJust me and you, alone, on the beach, the sound of the sea, the gorgeous sunsetsâ¦â
I shrug casually, as if the image heâs painting isnât filling me with slack-jawed anticipation.
