“I think snow-mageddon has arrived,” he said. “Look at how big those flakes are.”

“And you wanted to drive to Whitefish,” she said, getting out and going to the back for her suitcase.

“Yes,” he said. “I guess it’s better that we’re going to be stuck in this hotel. I wonder what their Covid protocols are.”

She started laughing. “I’m just happy we have a room. Come on, let’s get checked in.”

As a doctor, he was aware of these things and had seen enough cases in the ER to last him a lifetime.

When they walked to the counter. The girl behind it seemed frazzled. “I’m so glad you’re here. The manager wanted to give this room away and I told him it was already spoken for. We only have the honeymoon suite available. Is that all right?”

Noah’s eyes widened. The honeymoon suite? Dear God, he hoped it wasn’t one of those ridiculous suites with all kinds of playthings for couples. How difficult would that be?

“You don’t have anything else?” he asked.

“No, you’re lucky to still have that room,” she said.

Hannah grinned. “We’ll take it and all the perks that go with it.”

The girl smiled and quickly made keys to the room.

“Tonight they’ll bring up chocolate strawberries and champagne,” she said.

Good grief. Exactly what they didn’t need.

They found the elevator and took the suitcases up to the room. Noah opened the door and gasped. Exactly what he’d feared. A love playground.

“What the hell? We can’t do this.”

Hannah walked in and smiled. She gazed at the king-sized bed and heart-shaped tub Jacuzzi.

“Why not? I think this looks like a lot of fun,” she said.

He stared at her wide grin.

“Go move the car from under the awning. I’ll unpack while you’re gone,” she said waving him away.

He couldn’t believe this. What kind of movies did the room have? Probably porn.

It took him ten minutes to find a suitable parking spot for the Jeep and then he hurried back into the hotel. Outside, the storm was now almost a complete whiteout.

Unlocking the door to the hotel room, he stepped in and stared in disbelief.

Hannah was naked in the heart-shaped tub. Bubbles covered her from her neck to her toes, but still he could see glimpses of her skin. Her naked skin.

She opened her green eyes and stared at him. “Come on in. The water is hot. And we have champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.”

Swallowing, he stared dumbfounded. Did he join her? Could he resist her if he got naked with her?
