I read it.
     
    These flowers reminded me of how sweet you smelled last night.
    I can’t wait to see you again.
    —D.S.
     
    Whoa…
    “By the looks of it girl, you haven’t lost your touch,” Michael teased, waltzing into the kitchen. I rolled my eyes at him but smiled anyway. It was a remarkable thing; to feel like this again. I was allowing myself to feel for someone for the first time in over four years. Four long years.
    “Not sure what he means by seeing me tonight, though. I don’t even have the man’s phone number,” I pondered aloud.
    “He’s Drake Stagliano, honey, he makes whatever he wants possible. I’m sure he’ll make sure you two find each other.” Michael laughed, making a face at me.
    Stella was in her room playing when I walked in to ask how her day was. She stated that she pinched a boy named Bobby because he pinched her first. Well, he did start it after all, so I figured it was a good time to have the ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’ conversation.
    After tucking Stella in for the night, I started to wonder if I would ever hear from Drake. It was still early, but since I would be at my internship again on Monday, I needed to make sure we were on the same page. I couldn’t let rumors about us start getting around, otherwise I’d jeopardize my entire internship and potential career.
    I decided to indulge in a bubble bath so I wasn’t just sitting around like a typical girl waiting for a man to call. I wasn’t one of those girls, and I didn’t want that to change just because he was Drake Stagliano.
    And stunning.
    And amazing.
    And great in bed.
    As I was soaking up the bubbles listening to music, I heard a soft knock at the bathroom door. Assuming it was Michael, I told him to come in. I panicked as I saw Drake walk in, and quickly sunk deeper into the tub.
    “Well, hello there.” He smirked, getting a glimpse of my naked breasts.
    “Hello…wasn’t expecting you to walk in.” I blushed crimson, sinking deeper into the water.
    “I know. Michael let me in. He said you were taking a bath, so I thought I’d see if you needed any help,” he teased, eyeing my body.
    “Help? I’m sure I can manage, thank you.” I smirked.
    He took his suit jacket off, placing it on the counter, and his shoes followed. He unbuttoned his cuff links, took off his shirt and pants and soon he was standing there naked. He climbed into the tub behind me and wrapped his arms around my body, holding me close.
    “I missed you today,” he said, while kissing my neck. He moved his lips up to my earlobe. “This is my new favorite spot.” Jesus…he could get me aroused with the slightest touch.
    “I was wondering when I’d see you.” I smiled. “And I think I like your new favorite spot.” I arched my neck, giving him better access. “Oh…before I get distracted…I don’t even have your number.”
    “I guess we’ll have to fix that.” He groaned, massaging my breasts in the bubbles. God, yes. I moaned as he caressed my body with his fingers, making sure to cover every inch of me.
    Best bubble bath ever.
    “I think we need to talk before you get too happy back there.” I could feel his erection pressing hard behind me. “While I’m at my internship, I think it would be best to act like we don’t know each other if we happen to run into each other in the kitchen,” I finally was able to say. He was kissing me, touching me, feeling me.
    Oh God, please don’t stop…
    “Okay…I’ll try. Doesn’t mean I won’t be undressing you with my eyes, however.” I could feel his lips smiling against me. It was going to be difficult to ignore him while I was in the kitchen, but I didn’t need to be hounded for sleeping with the hotel manager. I especially didn’t want anyone to think that’s how I got the internship in the first place.
    After our bath, we soaked up the Chicago view with a couple glasses of wine and curled up on the loveseat. I had been single for so long, and I hadn’t known
