“Not a fan of outdoor living, I take it,” he said, amusement lacing his tone.
“Um, no, I’ve enjoyed camping, but yeah, the, um, shower thing...” She cleared her throat and hit speed dial again. “That’s a deal breaker for me.”
She’d never been so glad to hear Rachel’s voice. “Hey, it’s Melanie. I know it’s last-minute, but have you got an extra room?”
“Actually, we do,” Rachel said. “But only for one night. We have a ton of arrivals tomorrow. Who’s it for?”
Melanie gave Lucas an affirming nod, and then it dawned on her. “Oh, wait, do you accept male guests?”
He was looking at her, his eyes narrowed and curious.
Rachel laughed. “Yeah, sure, but you’ll have to warn him. You know how some of these women are.” She lowered her voice. “Subtle as a mare in heat.”
Letting out a chuckle, Melanie briefly met his eyes. “He looks pretty tough. I think he can handle them.”
“Hey, you giggled. Who is this guy?”
Melanie groaned. “Goodbye, Rachel, and thank you.”
“Wait—”
Melanie disconnected the call but didn’t bother pocketing the phone. Rachel was probably already texting her little heart out. “There’s room for you at the Sundance but only for one night,” she told Lucas without looking at him, because her pink cheeks would only invite more curiosity. “If you’re still interested in sticking around, we can see if the cabin’s available tomorrow.”
“I’m interested.” He nudged Sergei to keep up with her and Candy Cane. “I think.”
“You can decide tomorrow,” Melanie said, pleased at her cool even tone. Despite the dreaded thought he could change his mind and leave first thing in the morning.
“Is there something you should tell me?”
She turned to him. “Like what?”
A small cautious smile curved his mouth. “You asked if your friend takes male guests.”
“Oh.” Her phone buzzed. No surprise, it was a text from Rachel. “Excuse me—I think this is about your reservation,” she murmured, assuring herself she hadn’t lied.
WTF? CALL ME THE SEC HE LEAVES.
Melanie hurriedly stuffed the phone in her pocket. “You’re all set.”
“Are you purposely trying to make me nervous?”
“No, of course not....” She saw he was kidding. Duh. It probably took an earthquake to rattle him. “The Sundance sort of caters to young single women.”
“Sort of?”
“They’ll be crawling all over the place.”
“Great.” He sighed, clearly not pleased.
And that suited Melanie just fine.
