kind of response, I think it should be kept under lock and key,” she joked as his hands ran up and down her sides.
“You should wear this one evening and I’ll take you to dinner on the mainland.”
He felt her tense and lean back. “Was that an offer to go out on a date?”
He shrugged. “It is if the answer is yes.”
Her eyes roamed over his face and she bit her bottom lip again, making him wish he could lean closer and take over for her at the task.
“Maybe when Sarah and Ben get back.” She took a step back. “Until then I’m way too busy.” She sighed and turned back to the bathroom and a low growl released from his chest.
She stopped and turned around, then smiled. “I like the back too.”
As she walked into the bathroom, he stared at her bare back and knew the rest of the evening was going to be pure torture on his libido.
Chapter Six
T he next day was too busy for Lilith to remember. Guests left and a whole new group arrived. The party of almost fifty would occupy the entire island all weekend. The fact that it was one of the most prestigious families in the States didn’t faze her or any of the employees at East Haven. What did faze them was the fact that they were known to be one of the most demanding.
Before the private yachts started arriving, Lilith met with all of the employees to run over a few items. Of course, she had started in the kitchen. Adam leaned against the wall and acted like he was annoyed at her talking to his crew. But she pushed through her planned speech anyway and was halfway through before she felt her body relax.
“Remember the old adage, the customer is always right. With the Robinsons, we’re going to take that statement one step further. There should never be a need for a customer to have to make a request. Meaning…” She glanced around the kitchen and noticed everyone was listening. “Eyes and ears should be open. If you see a glass half full, fill it before someone has to glance around to hunt you down. If you hear someone complain about something, make it right. If you can’t do so, page me immediately.” She noticed a few people glancing towards one server in particular. “If you need to step out for a smoke break, make sure someone else will be watching your tables.”
She waited a moment, then turned away from the wait staff. “I trust Adam will make sure everything leaving the kitchen is perfect.” She glanced over at him and thought she saw the side of his lips curve upward, but as soon as it happened, it was gone. “That is all.” She turned to go and made it just outside the door before Adam caught up with her.
“Pretty motivating speech.” He fell into step beside her as she made her way through the dining hall.
“Thanks.”
“So…” He took her arm to stop her before she ascended the large staircase that split the building in half. It was one of the most charming parts of the resort. The intricate wood railing dated back centuries. Its dark runner had recently been replaced, giving the stairs a fresh look. “I was thinking about next Tuesday night.”
Her eyebrows rose in question.
“For our date.” His fingers brushed over her bare arm, causing her entire body to respond.
“Date?” She blinked as her mind went blank. His eyes pierced her, and she remembered the kiss the night before. When her knees started to buckle, she reached out and took hold of the oak banister to steady herself.
“Sure.” He lowered his voice and moved closer. “I figured you could wear that dress”—his eyes flickered down her body— “and we could get to know one another.”
She giggled. She couldn’t help it. “Is that the best line you have?” She took a step back, needing the air and a moment to compose herself.
His smile was quick. “I have plenty more.” He relaxed against the railing. “How about after the dinner rush, we head out?”
She nodded, still smiling, and then turned and started making her way up the
