Michelle Major - A Deal Made In Texas

She lifted the paper and pen. “We should still go over some more details if we’re going to make this relationship believable.” Not that it would be difficult on her part. One look at her face and it would be clear to everyone that she was already half in love with Gavin.

“How about we watch a movie while we talk?” He winked. “Elle Woods for old times’ sake?”

“Sure,” she whispered.

He picked up his jacket then patted the bed. “Make yourself comfortable. I’m going to order something from late-night room service. Can I tempt you with a hamburger?”

Christine started to shake her head but her stomach rumbled. “No cheese and medium-well, please.”

He nodded. “Got it.”

She placed the paper and pen on the nightstand and climbed onto the bed, butterflies racing across her stomach. She was in Gavin’s bed. Or on it. Close enough.

He used the room’s landline to place the order then clicked the remote to turn on the TV, searching until he found Legally Blonde . “I haven’t watched this movie in years,” he told her.

“It holds up,” she said, choosing not to share that the movie was on her regular rotation of Saturday night rom-coms. It struck her that tonight was Saturday and here she sat watching a movie, as had become her weekly routine. Only tonight instead of curling up with her black lab, Diana, she was in one of the most beautiful hotels in Austin with Gavin.

She loved her dog, but this was way better.

Her nerves disappeared as soon as the movie started. She and Gavin talked and laughed, and then ate when the food arrived. He cleared the empty plates when the movie ended, placing the tray outside the hotel room door.

“I think you should stay a bit longer,” he said, checking his watch. “The reception isn’t scheduled to end until midnight, and knowing my family, they’ll be closing down the place.”

“I don’t want to keep you from going to sleep,” she said, stifling a yawn.

“Apparently, I’m not the one who’s tired.”

“It’s been a kind of crazy night for me,” she admitted.

“If you want to go I can—”

“We could watch another movie?” She smiled. “Something with lots of action to keep us awake.”

“Good idea.” He returned to the bed and flipped through channels until he found an old James Bond flick.

“Who’s your favorite Bond?” she asked.

“Sean Connery.” He moved to the center of the mattress. “In case you’re interested, I make a pretty good pillow.”

Her girl parts went wild. She scooted closer, and he lifted one arm, tucking her against his chest.

“I bet you’re a Daniel Craig fan,” he said, resting his chin on the top of her head.

“Every woman with a pulse is a fan of Daniel Craig.”

She felt his chuckle against her ear, and the rhythmic up and down of his chest. As bizarre as the night had been, it was the stuff of her fantasies to be cuddling with Gavin. If only the night never had to end.
