dinner reservations for two
    at Dillon’s Steakhouse for 8 p.m.
     
I quickly pulled up my reservations app and made the reservation before I responded.
     
    Larissa:
    Done… Sir.
     
I waited four minutes for a thank-you reply that never came. I tucked the phone back into the inner pocket of my blazer and sighed as I collapsed onto the bed. This was going to be a very long three days.

After peeling myself off the bed, I spoke to George to arrange for him to pick up Katherine tomorrow morning and called Dillon’s to confirm tonight’s reservation. Then I called the local television station to make sure Chase’s speech had been delivered. My final call was to room service to ask them to deliver some wine and fruit to the penthouse at eleven p.m. I had to at least pretend to be good at my new job.
At seven p.m., after not hearing from Chase all day, I finally decided to take advantage of the whirlpool tub. I laid my phone on the counter in the bathroom and undressed. I turned the water on in the tub and pressed the button to turn on the jets before I climbed in. I dumped the entire bottle of expensive body wash I found on the countertop into the warm running water and closed my eyes as I laid back.
“Such a shame to hide such a gorgeous body under all those bubbles.”
I opened my eyes to find Chase sitting on the edge of the tub.
“I thought you had a dinner reservation. Oh, god. Did they not book it? I called to confirm, I swear.”
“Settle down, settle down. The reservation is for eight. I have plenty of time to get there from here. Right now, I had to see you.” He reached for my face and brushed aside a lock of damp hair. “I missed you today.”
“You missed me?” I said. “Does anyone know you’re in here?”
“Of course. I told the mayor you and I are regrouping before tomorrow’s rally.”
“Shouldn’t someone else be here to vouch for you? Maybe, Isa or… Heather?”
“Am I not enough for you?”
I stood from the tub and yanked a towel off the rod.
“Larissa, you don’t have to worry. No one thinks we’re having an affair.”
I struggled to secure the towel around me as I climbed out of the tub. “I don’t think I can do this. I should just go back to L.A.”
He grabbed me around the waist and pulled my back against him. “Larissa, I know what I’m doing. This is not going to fall apart. I promise.”
His lips grazed the back of my ear as his hand pressed firm against my belly. The towel fell as he spun me around so our noses were touching. His lips hovered over mine for a moment before he kissed me tenderly.
I was so lost in his kiss I didn’t notice him carrying me out of the bathroom. He laid me gently on the bed and I tried not to squirm as his gaze roamed over every hill and crevice of my body. He sat on the edge of the bed and traced his index finger from my ankle up to my hip where he laid his hand. He leaned over and took my nipple into his mouth, sucking gently as his hand glided over my hip toward my crotch.
His fingers slid between my lips, gliding easily through the wetness. His caress was as light as a whisper, just barely bringing me to the brink before he stopped. His lips left a light trail of kisses over my chest and collarbone before they fell softly over my lips.
I placed my hand on the back of his head and pulled him closer to me, kissing him hungrily, and he quickly pulled away.
“Not now, baby. There’ll be plenty of time for that when I get back from my dinner with the mayor.”
“But I want you so bad,” I whispered, as he kissed my forehead, the tip of my nose, my lips, and my belly before he laid his lips over my engorged clit.
“Oh, god,” I cried.
He kissed and licked me so softly I had to look down a few times to make sure he was still there. I was about to explode when he finally pulled away.
“You’re leaving?” I asked, as he stood up and straightened his tie.
“Go to my room. Make yourself at home. I’ll be back in a couple hours.” He
