What Happened After Vegas? (Unexpected Love #2) by Sharon Cummin Read Free Book Online Page B

only
reason Cliff was letting her drop the subject of the text was that
they were going out of town the next night and she wouldn't be
around.
    "I
should get home and start packing," she said. "We're
leaving tomorrow."
    Cliff
laughed and shook his head.
    "Make
sure you pack a bikini. We're definitely going to relax by the pool.
You have no idea how happy I am about our weekend. I've got most of
my work caught up, so I shouldn't have to much to do beside the
meeting on Friday."
    Rachel
stood up and grabbed her purse. She took money out without him
noticing.
    "I'll
show you around on our way back downstairs," he said.
    "You're
going to show me around the building?" she asked.
    He
shook his head as he reached out and took her hand. She quickly put
the money right next to his keyboard as he walked toward the door.
They walked back into the reception area where Carol sat. She had a
huge smile on her face that Rachel couldn't miss. Cliff took her to
the different floors his firm occupied and walked her through the
whole company. Rachel was self-conscious the entire time. People
stopped to say hello and shook her hand. She met more lawyers than
she had wanted to. There was no way she was going to be able to
remember all of their names. She saw a group picture as they walked
down one of the hallways and stopped when she noticed Jake in it.
Cliff leaned in, as he kissed her cheek and squeezed her hand. She
quickly began to walk with him. He was definitely a wonderful man.
    He
walked her out and opened the car door for her. She leaned back and
looked him over again with a smile. He nodded and winked at her
before kissing her softly on the lips. Their kiss deepened, and she
pulled back catching her breath.
    "Save
those kisses for tomorrow," she said. "Another one of
those, and you won't be able to get me to go home."
    Rachel
got in the car. She looked back to see him watch the car until it was
out of sight.

    As
soon as she got home, she went right to packing. She wanted to make
sure to take everything she could possibly need. Her gigantic
suitcase was packed, and she was ready to go. She got on her computer
and did some more research on things to do around Detroit. They were
going to be about forty minutes outside of the city. She found
museums, restaurants, and parks. Cliff told her the name of the hotel
they were staying at before she left his office. She looked to see
what the pool area looked like. It was rather impressive. She even
went to bed early so time would pass and she could see him again.
    His
driver showed up at her house right on time. When they pulled up in
front of his office, he came out with only his laptop bag. As soon as
he got in the car, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
    "Don't
you need a suitcase?" she asked.
    "It's
already in the trunk. I brought it with me this morning."
    Rachel
leaned in next to Cliff. She couldn't stop herself from touching him.
    They
got through security and waited for their flight in the airlines VIP
club. When they boarded the plane, she got comfortable quickly.
    "You
know you're spoiling me," she said. "What am I going to do
when I have to fly alone? Thank you for everything, Cliff. You have
been too good to me."
    "Oh
yeah," he said. "I forgot to mention some money I found on
my desk yesterday when I went back to my office. Do you know anything
about that?"
    "I
was supposed to pay for lunch. It was part of the deal. I wasn't
thinking when we left the restaurant so quickly. I thought about it
once we calmed down and were looking up things on the computer. You
agreed to let me pay."
    "You
are definitely one of a kind. Do you know that?"
    "I'll
take that as a compliment," she said.
    "You
should," he said.
    The
flight wasn't bad at all. She felt much safer with him there. He
worked on his laptop while she read on her digital reader.
    When
they landed, they collected their luggage and rented a car. He wanted
to be able to drive around with Rachel wherever they wanted. If
