have no desire to go anywhere other than the regal king size four poster bed.
    “Baby, you have to call Aaron and tell him we can’t accept this,” I say breathlessly. He’s a giving man, that much is clear, but this is too much. Even with all the strings in the world, I would lay money that this room costs more per night than Colby makes in a week.
    “Already on it,” Colby says, dismissing the bellman after handing him a tip. “Aaron, it’s Colby… Yeah, we got the note… I appreciate it, but we can’t stay here. I’m pretty sure Lea’s scared to touch anything… ” There’s a long pause while Colby listens to whatever Aaron’s saying. “Yeah, okay. Thanks.”
    I turn to Colby when he tells Aaron goodnight, waiting to hear what we’re going to do and see him walking across the room to me. He slides his arms around my waist, pulling me close to him. I lean back so I can look into his golden eyes. When I see the way his eyes glisten with emotion, the breath is once again stolen from my chest. “He won’t take no for an answer. Apparently, Rebecca’s firm does a lot of work for this company and they frequently give them comp rooms, always the best they have available. Aaron said he wants us to stay here to celebrate everything that’s coming my way and that he’s proud of me.”
    And now I know the reason for the emotion threatening to spill over Colby’s thick eyelashes. Other than me, I’m not sure anyone has ever said those words to him.
    “Then that’s exactly what we’re going to do,” I say, placing my hand over his racing heart. Resting my head on Colby’s chest, I reach for the hem of his t-shirt, pulling it over his head so I can feel the heat of his skin against mine. “I think we need to start our celebration in that bathtub.” The only thing capable of drawing my attention away from Colby’s gorgeous eyes is the opulent tub that I could get lost in for days.
    Pulling away from Colby, I begin unbuttoning my shirt, letting it fall off my shoulders as I glance back at him playfully. As it falls to the floor, I kick off my black boots while reaching for the hem of my simple white tank top. Colby groans appreciatively behind me when the cotton drops to the ground, leaving me in nothing but his favorite pair of jeans and my white satin bra. “Are you coming?” I ask, leaning against the doorjamb leading to the bathroom.
    “Fuck yes!” He begins toeing off his cowboy boots when there’s a knock on the door. “Dammit,” he grumbles as he heads to the door.
    As curious as I am, I’m not dressed for company, so I close the bathroom door behind me. Once again, I feel as if we’re living in a fairy tale. The floors, shower surround and vanity are all marble and there’s a freaking television over the bathtub. I make a vow to myself that at least once before we have to leave this paradise in the heart of the city, I will fill the tub with bubbles and sit here long enough to watch a cheesy romantic comedy, just because I can. I start the water, taking in the assortment of gels and salts on a small caddy perched over the top of the tub.
    The door opens and Colby struggles to back his way into the room while holding a tray of some sort. When he turns to face me, I see that he has champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. “Let me guess, Aaron?” I ask, not sure if I love or hate that man right now. I love him for everything he’s doing to make this first visit special, but hate the fact that we’ll never be able to repay him for his generosity. Well, maybe we will if Pete was right when he said that Colby has something that makes him stand out from the crowd in a good way.
    “Yep. The card he sent along basically said the same thing he told me over the phone.” He sets the tray on the vanity, pouring each of us a glass. “I think I’m going to take the rest to the bedroom, otherwise the steam in here is going to melt the chocolate. Think you have the water hot enough?” He
