someone. “Hello. Is there anyone here? I need some help.”
    Usually he was pretty patient, but tonight he was wearing thin. He was ready to check in and go upstairs to his room. This had to be one of the longest nights of his life and he couldn’t wait until it was over.
    “I’m here,” a soft, feminine answered behind him. “Can I help you, sir?”
    Looking over his shoulder, Cash did a double take as his eyes landed on the most captivating black woman he had ever seen. Her smooth, mocha complexion was flawless; it made him want to touch her to see if her skin felt as silky as it looked.
    He liked how she had her hair styled, without a strand out of place. For some reason, it made him want to muss it up so he could see how she would look a little less “perfect.”
    Her nose was straight, short, and charming while the corners of her mouth turned upwards. The soft red color on her luscious lips drew his attention, making him want a taste.
    His gaze slowly traveled over the rest of her body and he liked what he saw, especially how her toned legs looked in the dark gray skirt. He had always been a leg man and this mystery woman owned a great pair. They were only enhanced by the tall heels on her small feet. He let his eyes go back up her body to notice how her tucked-in white shirt showed off her perky breasts, curved hips, and narrow waist.
    He wanted to say something to her, but he couldn’t get the words to come out of his mouth. He couldn’t remember the last time a woman had made him this tongue-tied. All he could do was stand there and gawk at her like a teenage boy with his first crush.
    “Sir, can I help you?” she inquired again, closing the small gap between their bodies. “Are you looking for directions?”
    “No, I’m not looking for directions,” Cash replied when he finally regained his voice. “I want a room for a few nights. I hope that you have one that’s available.”
    She smiled at him and it brightened up her pretty face. “You’re in luck. We do have a couple of vacant rooms.”
    The hotel clerk walked around him, behind the front desk. Cash couldn’t stop staring at how the fabric of her skirt hugged her ass.
    How could it possible for the back of her to look as good as the front?
    Usually, he wasn’t this nervous with the opposite sex, but she was doing something to him without even realizing it. So, what was so special about her? She was just an employee at a hotel, yet he felt this underlying connection to her.
    “Are you here for business or personal reasons?” she asked, drawing his awareness away from her captivating mouth back to her stunning eyes.
    Instead of answering her question, he watched as she pulled out a sign-in book from underneath the desk and placed it on the top. Hell, he didn’t even know her name. Nevertheless, all he could think about was asking her out on a date and getting to know more about her—if was she married, single, or dating someone.
    “Excuse me, sir. Are you listening to me?” she asked him. “Is there something wrong? Do you need some kind of help?”
    Cash drew his attention back to the woman. He noticed she was watching him with a perplexed expression etched across her face while holding a pen in her left hand. Why was he standing here acting like an idiot? He was tired of wondering who she was, so he was just going to ask her.

    “No, I don’t need any help. I’m fine,” Cash answered, kicking himself for staring at her for so long without answering any of her questions. “Who are you?” He was dying to know who she was. Hopefully, she wasn’t married or seeing someone and would accept his invitation to have drinks. He wasn’t going to take no for an answer, so he hoped she told him what he wanted to hear.
    Her face broke into a friendly grin. “I apologize. I should have introduced myself. My name is Rachelle Williams. I’m the owner of Luxury. ”
    Rachelle....is her name ? It suited her beauty
