Page 5 of Recklessly In Love With A Ruthless Savage

I pulled up to the valet in front of the hotel and got out after the driver opened my door. Going to the back I helped Timberly out of her seat while Tyra did the same with DJ as the doormancollected our bags and took them inside. The inside of the hotel was just as luxurious as the outside.

“Oh, this is so nice, mommy; thank you, " Timberly cheered, as she and DJ did a little TikTok dance in the lobby.

“Yeah thanks, aunty,” he said.

“You’re welcome babies,” I told them.

“What about me? I guess I’m just chopped liver huh,” Tyra feigned sadness.

I shook my head at her as they ran over to her for hugs and reassurances that she was awesome too. I made our way to the front desk and was greeted by the attendant with a warm smile.

“Good morning. Welcome to Cedar Spring Luxe Resort. My name is Tina. How may I help you ma’am?”

“Nova Travers checking in.”

“Ah yes. Ms. Travers. I’m sorry but it looks like your room isn’t ready just yet,” she said.

“How long will it take? We really wanted to get some rest before getting our day started.”

“Since we inconvenienced you and your party we can give you one of our best suites for the same rate as your current room.”

“That would be wonderful. Thank you,” I elated as she handed our keys.

“The suite comes with a personal butler so if you wait here, Bertrum will be right out to escort you all and collect your things.”

“Thank you again, Tina.”

“You’re welcome and please enjoy your stay.” She smiled.

I walked over to Tyra and the kids and filled them in on the good news. They cheered because just like me, they couldn’t believe our luck. We sat in front of the fireplace in the lobby as we waited for our butler for the weekend. A tall graying friendly looking man in a nice suite ambled over and greeted us.

“Good morning family, I’m Bertrum, your butler for the remainder of your stay,” he introduced.

“Good morning Bertrum,” we all said in unison.

He leads us to our suite all the while filling us in on all the amenities the resort had to offer, many of which were included in the price of our room. Our suite was a large three-bedroom open concept flat filled with marble and hardwood, with floor to ceiling windows that had breathtaking views of the forest and mountains beyond. There were fireplaces in each room and beautiful spa sized glass encased showers and marble tubs that I couldn’t wait to soak in with a glass of wine. Bertrum collected our bags and informed us that he would have them unpacked while we got some rest. He gave us a few brochures detailing amenities and even childcare for when we needed some adult time. This place was amazing. We picked a few activities from the lists, trying to fit as much as possible into our weekend.

We hit the road early so after a much needed nap, we decided to visit one of the many restaurants around the resort for an early dinner. Since tonight was casual I chose a warm cream turtleneck sweater, a pair of dark fitted jeans, and knee-high boots. Grabbing my wool trench coat, I met Tyra and the kids in the living room so we could take a short walk to dinner.

We decided to eat at one of the two steakhouses in the resort since the kids wanted to try a tomahawk steak. The food was amazing and after dessert, the kids went to campfire story time and hot chocolate with a few other kids off the lobby with the nanny assigned to our suite.

“What do you want to do until the kids are finished? I asked Tyra.

“I’m going back to the suite, friend. I was too turnt last night and that nap didn’t do me justice. “Why?” Tyra asked.

“I wanted to see if I could get a massage. I want to be refreshed and as loose as possible for the events tomorrow.We’re gonna be outside most of the morning and I’m already stiff from poppin’ my shit last night.” I smirk.

“I bet you are," she grinned.

“Hopefully they can get me in on such short notice,” I said, heading to the spa. After the night I had with Crew, my body needed this.

“Sorry Ms. Travers, unfortunately one of our VIP guests booked our last time slot. I’m so sorry,” the spa attendant said with an apologetic expression.

“You don’t have anything else?” I asked. Bertrum praised this spa as one of the best in the state and I would hate to miss out. I’m sure I could try another time but with the amount of activities we had planned for the weekend I doubted I’d have the time.

“Well, we could…” She broke off. “This may be a little unorthodox. Give me a moment,” the attendant said. I watched as she walked to the back, wondering what she had in mind. A few minutes passed before she returned with a smile on her face.

“Good news, Ms. Travers, we have a space for you. The only thing is that you will be sharing the room with another guest. The room is equipped with multiple tables and a beautiful view with access to our hot springs. If you agree, we can have a masseuse service you in the same room as our VIP guest.”
