I feel my cheeks getting hot as Ryland grins at me. “You’re in luck because the most talented harp player in the country is moving to the Greene Mountains. She’s right here.”
Lauren turns when he presents me. “I wouldn’t say the most talented in the country…”
“I would,” Ryland says firmly. “She’s incredible.”
I’m expecting Lauren to smile politely and quickly go on her way, but she doesn’t. She actually looks interested. My heart starts racing as I sit up and try to shake the wine and endorphins out of my head.
“Would you like to audition for me tomorrow?” she asks. “I’d love to hear you play.”
Oh my god. Is this happening? Is this really happening?
“Okay,” I say, smiling uncontrollably. “Yeah, I’d love that!”
We work out the details and Ryland offers to drive me and my huge harp case. Lauren looks pleased and enthusiastic when she leaves and I just know this is going to work out. I may not be the best harp player in the country like Ryland insists that I am, but I’m definitely good enough to play in a high end establishment like this.
I’m flying high for the rest of the dinner. I can’t believe I have an audition for a full time job, a new man, and maybe an amazing new town to live in all in less than twenty-four hours. This has been the best day of my life.
I’m ecstatic and not wanting the night to end as we leave the restaurant and walk into the lodge. The fire is still crackling, but the chairs are long empty. It’s late. We were in that restaurant for a long time.
“Ready for that room?” Tina or Tiffany—I’m not sure which one—asks from the reception desk.
Are you kidding me? What’s with these girls…
Ryland turns to me with a raised eyebrow. “Room? You booked a room?”
“No, I…”
My cheeks go red, wondering how I’m supposed to explain this.
“It’s the Western Suite,” Tina says.
“Very fancy,” Tiffany adds.
“Or very dirty,” Tina says. “Whatever you’re going for.”
Ryland’s sexy brown eyes focus on mine.
“I didn’t mean…” I begin to say. “They misunderstood…”
Ryland doesn’t let me finish. He just leans down and kisses my mouth. I moan when I taste him. He tastes so good.
“Will you spend the night with me?” he whispers on my lips.
I gaze into those eyes and I can’t help but nod. I don’t care what those freaks at the counter think. All I want is to be alone with this man for a little longer.
He grins and turns to the ladies. “We’ll take it.”
CHAPTER NINE
Ryland
As soon as the door to our room closes, we’re on each other, unleashing all of the passion that’s been burning within us all day. I drop the bag I got from my car and pin Ellie against the wall as she grabs my shirt and pulls me against her.
This girl… She kills me…
I sweep her hair back, hold the back of her neck, and kiss her hard, tasting her sweet succulent mouth.
“Oh Ryland,” she moans as I kiss her neck, wanting to ravage her right here in the hallway.
My cock is rock hard and it’s pressing against her. She doesn’t move away from it, instead she pushes into it with a sexy moan.
“Feel how hard I am?” I growl between kisses. “You drive me crazy, angel.”
I cup her breast and massage it as she reaches down and feels my hard cock. Those sexy blue eyes are full of lust as she looks up at me, her hand sliding up and down my throbbing erection.
“I want you naked,” I tell her in a deep throaty voice. “I want to see every sexy inch of you.”
She licks her lips and lets out a whimper as I squeeze her breast a little too hard.
“I’m yours,” she whispers, flicking the top two buttons of her dress open. I growl like a possessive beast when I see her tempting cleavage bursting out. “Are we going to check out the room or do this in the doorway?”
Her hand is still moving up and down my aching shaft and it feels too good to stop and move.
“Doorway,” I grumble.
She grins and suddenly dips down, ducking under my arm and slipping away. I thunk my forehead onto the wall with a frustrated groan.
“This room is way too nice to get fucked on the floor,” she says, walking backward with a sexy grin on her face. She drags her finger down her chest and into her cleavage before turning with a flirty smirk and walking into the room.
My eyes drop to her beautiful ass swaying under that black dress. I’ve never seen anything so tempting. It’s mesmerizing.
I try to catch my breath as I watch her walk into the luxurious room. It’s a beautiful suite with leather couches in front of a stone fireplace, and a separate bedroom from the main room. I spot a walk-in shower in the gorgeous bathroom, big enough for two.
