Read Kiss Me, Lynn for Free Online

of them, the car was full. Alex told them he’d take the next car. Lynn caught herself leaning when the doors closed, to prolong her view of him. When she leaned into Sharon, who was leaning for the same reason, Alex laughed and waved at them.
    Idiot s. They were acting like students!
    Sharon sighed. “I just knew I’d fall in love with our guide. No use wasting time. I’m in love already!”
    Lynn felt an odd stab of jealousy. Ridiculous. No flings, remember! She was in Peru for a working vacation. Not to fall in love with a handsome Peruvian!

    Alex waited for the next car and rode to the third floor to his room. When he emerged from the elevator, he saw the blonde woman he’d spoken to, and her red-headed friend, entering a room at the end of the hall. When they saw him, the redhead waved and laughed. The blonde smiled before following her friend into the room. Did he detect a bit of pink in her cheeks? Probably just the lighting. But she was lovely. He especially liked her blue eyes.
    Alex had no idea what to expect from this group, just as he never knew what to expect from any group. Now, though, the idea of spending two weeks with a beautiful woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a shy smile made him happier than he’d been in a long time. He pulled a list of names from his pocket. Which one was she, he wondered? In the morning, he’d ask her name.

    Sharon disappeared into the bathroom immediately while Lynn chose one of the queen-sized beds and turned the covers back. She heard the shower. All those long hours on the plane had been spent in anticipation, excitement, and fatigue, followed by complete exhaustion. After that harrowing ride to the hotel, hot water was exactly what they both needed to be able to sleep the rest of the night. Breakfast was included in their stay at Casa Andina, so they’d have to be up no later than seven if they were going to get dressed, to the restaurant off the lobby for the breakfast buffet, then back to the room for a few minutes before it was time to leave at nine.
    Lynn wandered around the room and stopped before a set of figures on the wall that seemed to be a mother, father, and child. But all three were naked, with nothing hidden. She’d seen the same three figures in the lobby. Were they specific to the hotel, or to Lima, or to Peru? She had no idea. She looked at the rest of the décor. It was a perfect blend of earth tones and soft patterns. She opened the curtains on the huge windows at one end of the room but couldn’t see much outside. There were lights on vehicles, but no way to see the buildings clearly, or anything in the distance. Mountains or the Pacific?
    Lynn realized she should have gone through the tour information while on the plane. Right now, her mind was so muddled, she couldn’t remember what they were scheduled to see tomorrow. No, make that later today.
    Sharon emerged from the bathro om wrapped in a towel. “Your turn!”
    “Thanks.” Lynn headed for the bathroom and immediately turned the hot water back on to keep the room steamy and warm. After washing away muscle tension, and a kink in her back from that awful seat on the plane from Houston, she washed her long hair, turned the water off with regret that she couldn’t stay longer, then stepped out onto the mat. She enjoyed the soft towel on her skin, and slipped into the red flannel pajamas she’d bought just for this vacation. By the time she’d combed her hair, creamed her face, and brushed her teeth, Sharon was in bed, almost asleep.
    Lynn tiptoed to her own bed.
    Sharon roused. “I set the alarm for 7:00. We’ll have to eat breakfast and have our teeth brushed by 9:00, when the van gets here.”
    “Great. For our first day of touring, I’ll be half-asleep.” She settled into the soft sheets and pulled the comforter up around her neck. “One more night here, right?”
    “ Right. Then on to Cusco. No more talking. Sleep.”
    Lynn appreciated the pillowtop
