Go to
the hall to what will be my room while I’m here.
     
    As I start to enter, the first thing in the room I notice is how thick the green carpet is.   My feet start sinking into it and I can’t wait to walk on it with bare feet.  Looking up from the floor, I notice the main feature of the room, which is a large four poster bed with a beautiful red and gold covering.  There is a desk to the side with a lamp on top.  The two large windows overlook the pond and mountain range.  “Wow, totally amazing.”  The sofa in front of the window looks comfortable enough to sleep on and is covered in the same red and gold design as the bed.
     
    “This is a gorgeous room; even the floor looks comfortable enough to sleep on.”
     
    “I thought you would prefer this room. The bathroom is through that door and everything you should need is already in there, if not, just let me know,” Cade tells me, still standing in the doorway.
     
    “I’ll just put your bag down and leave you to rest up.  I think I’ll go shower and change then head down to get the dinner started.  Are you okay with pasta?”
     
    “Pasta happens to be my favorite meal, so yes that sounds good.   Would you like some help?” I ask to be polite, hoping he refuses; I really need some time on my own.
     
    “No, I have it covered,” and with a glance he backs out of the room and shuts the door leaving me alone.
     
    God, he is so hot.  I hope I get to see him naked!
     
    I let out a sigh of relief and drop down onto the bed with my eyes shut, feeling so tired and confused.

    Pasta.... a quick and easy meal if only I can get Rona out of my head.   When I left her earlier in her room, I ran to my room to get a shower, because I was sticky from our interlude/spur inte at the airport.  The shower started warm, but I ended up turning it down to cold to try and calm my body down. 
     
    My libido is in check for now, but with how out of control it is around Rona, I don’t think that will last long.   I’m dressed in dark blue jeans and a pale blue long sleeved ribbed t-shirt which hopefully will cover anything I don’t want seen!  Usually I wear loose trousers around the house, but knowing I’ll probably end up with a hard-on I figure it will be more noticeable tented in trousers than restrained in jeans.
     
    Turning around, I find Rona has approached the kitchen, which is part of the open plan layout.
     
    She looks good enough to eat and having showered as well, Rona’s hair is still damp.  She’s wearing some kind of stretchy vest top, underneath a soft knit cardigan which she pulls together watching me give her a once over.  She has paired this, with what my daughter calls jazz pants and a thick pair of socks. 
     
    “Do you need help with anything?”   Rona asks me with a tender look on her face.
     
    “No, I’ve got it covered.   Why don’t you take a seat while I get you a drink?   Would you like a soft drink or alcoholic?”
     
    “As we are having Italian to eat, I would love a glass of wine please.”   I pour her a glass of Gavi, as she makes herself comfortable at the breakfast bar.
     
    “So what do you do when not on vacation?”   I ask, just as Jake comes through the door.
     
    “Give me five minutes to change,” he shouts, dashing to his room.
     
    “I work for a design company.  We get a lot of business creating company logos, but occasionally, I get the chance to do something fun like wedding invitations, promotional posters for movies and I actually love creating book covers, because I get given a copy of the book to read so I can do it justice.”  Laughing, she continues, “Sometimes I cheat when I have no interest in the book and just read the book’s description, but I love to read, so getting a copy of some books is definitely an added bonus.”
     
    “It sounds like you love your job.”  I drain the pasta and put everything into serving dishes.
     
    “What about you? What business
