Heat spread between Roman’s legs faster than you could say ‘Jack’. His reaction to her was instantaneous, and he bit back a choice of words.

“Okay, just stay on your side of the bed and I’ll stay on mine. Try and get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow.”

Yeah right. A voice at the back of Roman’s head scoffed.

Like you both are going to be getting any sleep.

Olivia made it a point to sleep as far away from the edge of the bed as possible, which Roman found a little bit amusing.

Did she think he was some wild animal with no self-control?

Maybe he was. The way his body reacted instantly to contact with hers was certainly a cause for concern.

Roman settled back into bed, but it was at least three long hours before he could catch a wink of sleep.

He was making sure they were getting two separate rooms tomorrow.

Chapter 11

Oliviablinkedhereyesopen, expecting to find her boss lying next to her in the plush comfort of their shared suite. To her surprise, the space next to her was empty, the sheets barely disturbed. Confusion flickered in her mind, wondering where her boss could have gone so early in the morning.

The events of last night flashed briefly in her memory, and a faint tinge of pink stained her cheeks.

Where did he go so early anyway?

Just as she began to wonder, an insistent knock sounded on the door. Olivia hurriedly composed herself, expecting room service or maybe her boss returning. However, the door swung open, revealing a polite attendant.

“Good morning, Ms. Olivia. My apologies once again for the room mix-up yesterday. We’ve arranged two separate rooms for you and your boss now, conveniently located next to each other.”

Olivia’s eyebrows lifted at the unexpected change, but she simply nodded.

“Good morning. Thank you for resolving the issue. That sounds fine. I appreciate your assistance.”

“It’s my pleasure, Ms. Olivia. Allow me to show you to your new room. I’m confident you’ll find it to your liking.”

He apologized for the mix-up with the rooms again and led her through a short corridor and opened the door to her new room.

The sight that unfolded before her eyes left her momentarily breathless. So, this was what the St. Regis was about!

The room was a haven of elegance, bathed in warm tones and adorned with tasteful artwork. Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the space, and revealing a sweeping view of the city skyline.

The luxurious king-sized bed was draped in the finest linens, inviting her to sink into its comfort. A writing desk stood against the wall, offering a dedicated space for work. The marble bathroom boasted a deep soaking tub, a separate rainfall shower, and an array of luxurious toiletries.

“Oh, wow. This room is absolutely beautiful. The décor, the view—it’s all so impressive, so impossible.”

“I’m glad you’re pleased, Ms. Olivia. This room offers a serene ambiance and stunning city views. The king-sized bed, specifically requested by your boss, is designed for maximum comfort, and the marble bathroom features luxurious amenities for your indulgence.”

“My goodness, it’s more than I could have imagined. Thank you for your attention to detail. I can already tell I’ll have a relaxing stay here.”

Memories of her naked boss flashed through her memory again.

“I’m delighted to hear that. Is there anything else I can assist you with? Perhaps your breakfast preferences?”

“I’ll keep it simple. Just a bowl of fresh fruit and a cup of coffee, please.”

The attendant’s face twitched momentarily at her request.

“Certainly, Ms. Olivia. Your order will be delivered promptly. If you have any additional requests during your stay, don’t hesitate to let us know.”
