relaxing few days, the storm might be just what you need.” Logan winked
at Marcus.
    “Actually, that sounds really nice.” Jacqueline looked at
Marcus. “We’ve been so busy lately that a whole weekend to unwind sounds like
wonderful.”
    “You guys sound like the perfect patrons.” Logan pulled
Elyse close to him and kissed the back of her neck. “We probably won’t even
know you’re here.”
    Elyse leaned her head back and whispered, “We have guests.”
    “Guests who want to try those blueberry scones,” Marcus
said. “You can fondle your wife later.”
    Elyse giggled as she turned in Logan’s arms and gave him a
quick kiss. “Come inside,” she said. “I made a fresh pitcher of iced tea too.”
    “I’ll grab your bags,” Logan said.
    “I’ll go with you.” Marcus kissed Jacqueline’s cheek. “Go on
inside. It looks like it’s going to pour. I’ll be there in a minute.”
    She watched as he turned and followed Logan to the car.
    “He’ll be back.” Elyse laughed, as she pulled Jacqueline
into the foyer. “New love is so much fun.”
    “Uh no, it’s not like that,” Jacqueline explained. “Marcus
and I aren’t in love.”
    “Not yet,” Elyse said. “It’s coming. I can see it. Marcus is
so taken with you and you can’t take your eyes off him.”
    “He is easy on the eyes.”
    “I’ll say.” Elyse walked over to the foyer table and poured
Jacqueline a tall glass of iced tea from a beautiful crystal pitcher. She
garnished the glass with a lemon wedge. “Are you looking forward to spending
two whole days with him?” She handed her the drink. “I know he’s really into
this weekend.”
    “Thank you.” She took the glass from her. “How do you know?”
    “He wanted to make sure everything was perfect. He wanted
your graduation present to be special.”
    “I was surprised he asked me to go away with him.” She
sipped the tea. “We’ve been taking things slow.”
    “Logan and I tried to explain to him that technically you
weren’t a student. He’s so set in his ways that he had to do what he thought
was right.”
    “Well, I’m glad I’ve graduated. Now maybe he’ll change his
mind.”
    “You want more.”
    “Yeah, a lot more.” Jacqueline glanced out the window and
watched as Logan and Marcus talked.
    “You’re in the right place. What do you want out of this
weekend?”
    “I’m just happy to be spending time with him. He’s been
under a tight deadline. He’s such an intense man, you know? I’m looking forward
to seeing him relax.”
    “Again, you’re in the right place. You could spend the whole
weekend getting to know one another. No interruptions, no deadlines, and no
business talk. How does that sound?”
    “Wonderful.”
    “Welcome to Pleasure Inn.” Elyse held out a plate of the
beautiful, fragrant scones. “This is just the beginning.”
    Jacqueline took one off the plate and smiled. She hoped
Elyse’s words were about to prove true as she watched Marcus come through the
door.
    He smiled at her as he stepped into the foyer and looked
around. “Wow! This place looks fantastic.” He put their bags at the bottom of
the elaborate wood staircase. “It’s really spectacular.”
    “You haven’t been here since I inherited the old place.”
Logan picked up both of the glasses of tea Elyse had poured for the guys and
handed one to Marcus. “Remember how pissed I was?”
    “You didn’t think you’d ever get this place going.” Marcus
moved to stand next to Jacqueline. “He was miserable.”
    “What changed?” she asked. “Because this place is
incredible.”
    “A beautiful executive chef with big dreams of running this
thing landed on my doorstep one night.” He pulled Elyse against his chest. “I
convinced her to stay.”
    “True story.” Elyse looked up at him. “I was the inspiration
he needed to finish the renovation.”
    “That and her cooking.” Logan laughed. “Wait until you taste
what she comes up with.”
    “If this
