I Accidentally fell Into My Own Book. Chapter 22
Carrying two commercial-grade space heaters, fifty feet of heavy-duty extension cord, and a box of instant hand warmers through a mountain resort during an impending blizzard is not in any author’s job description.Yet there I was, trudging down the pine-needle trail toward the Crest Lakefront Boathouse, looking like an administrative prepper preparing for a nuclear winter.Cyrus was walking beside me, his hands shoved effortlessly into the pockets of his trousers. He wasn't carrying a single heater or the road salt. He was just strolling through the biting wind like he was on a casual runway, looking infuriatingly stoic while his hair whipped across his forehead."You look ridiculous," Cyrus said, his voice cutting cleanly through the howling mountain wind."I look prepared," I snapped, adjusting my grip on the box of heaters. "There's a difference. I am taking executive action to prevent hypothermia. Who knows that boathouse probably has a broken furnace, a drafty window, and a so

The lodge coffee shop at seven in the morning was empty, dimly lit by yellow sconces, and smelled gloriously like freshly ground espresso and pine needles.I sat in a oversized leather armchair tucked into a quiet back corner, wrapped in my sweater, holding a massive porcelain mug of hazelnut coffee in both hands. I was just staring out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the dark mountain lake.Outside, the sky was turned a heavy, bruised shade of steel gray. The pine trees along the shoreline were swaying wildly in a cold mountain wind that looked like it was bringing something nasty down from the peaks.I pulled my phone out of my sweater pocket, dialed Lana, and put it on speaker, resting it on the table next to my coffee. She picked up on the second ring, her voice crisp and loud despite the three-hundred-mile distance."Please tell me you didn't get eaten by a bear," Lana said by way of greeting. "Or worse, trapped in a hot tub with Mr. Monopoly.""Neither," I said, taking a s

He carried me out of the pool enclosure like a damp, disgruntled sack of laundry, stepping directly over Yasmin’s soaking wet, shrieking form without giving her a single glance.Water dripped from the hem of my green string bikini, leaving a heavy trail of chlorine puddles all across the resorts dark hardwood floor and straight into the private elevator. He stood there holding me against his broad, drenched chest, his white dress shirt completely ruined and clinging to his shoulders like second skin."You realize," I said, dangling in his arms and glaring up at his sharp jawline, "that you smell like chlorine, wet leather, and unearned male confidence right now, right?"He didn't break stride. He kept his eyes locked straight ahead on the elevator floor indicator as the numbers ticked upward."You were shivering," he said in that low, quiet voice that was supposed to make women swoon. "And you nearly drowned my former acquaintance.""She had hair extensions and bad manners " I yelled,

The overhead room lights flickered twice and went completely dead. The resort's backup power kicked in a second later, bathing the room in a moody, amber emergency glow and right on cue, floating in the dim air right over the king-sized bed, pulsing in thick, aggressive golden typography, the narrative engine fired up:[MANDATORY SCENE TRIGGERED: The Water Encounter]Objective: Join the guests in the resort pool area in appropriate swimwear.Failure Penalty: Immediate Systemic Disruption.I stared at the golden letters floating in the air, letting out a long, exhausted groan that came straight from my toes. "You've got to be kidding me," I whispered.Join the guests in the resort pool area in appropriate swimwear.The system wanted a pool scene. It wanted the classic wet-bikini romantic tension trope. If I refused to go down to the indoor heated resort pool, the narrative engine would probably trigger a localized ceiling collapse."Fine," I muttered, grabbing my bag. "You want a pool

The three-hour drive north was roughly as fun as having dental surgery without novocaine. Between the winding mountain roads, the claustrophobic silence of the SUV, and the sheer exhaustion of having screamed at a billionaire's ex-girlfriend before noon, my brain finally threw in the towel. I slumped against the leather seat, let my head loll toward the window, and completely passed out.When I finally blinked my eyes open, the heavy gray twilight of the mountain estate was pressing against the glass.The SUV was parked in a private gravel lot behind a massive, timber-and-stone luxury lodge that looked like a millionaire’s hunting lodge designed by an architect who hated happiness. Up front, Carter was already gone, likely auditing the resort's front desk security logs with a stopwatch.Cyrus was sitting right beside me in the dim interior, casually flipping through blueprints on his iPad.I shifted, letting out a groggy groan, and realized something felt weirdly... supportive. I reac

Lana was at her desk, holding a cup of coffee. The second she saw my face, her eyes went wide."Whoa," Lana said, sitting up straight. "What happened to you? You look like you just fought a bear in a beige suit.""Close," I said, flopping into my chair and dropping my head onto my arms with a loud thud. "Yasmin Colt showed up, You know her Lan, you mocked her once."Lana gasped, nearly dropping her coffee. "Mr. Monopoly's ex? The snob with the vocal fry? Oh my god, did she try you?" she asked."She called my outfit unprofessional and treated me like a temp maid," I groaned into my elbows. "So I screamed at her, called her a walking hotel couch, and smashed a two-thousand-dollar crystal juice carafe at her feet."Lana stared at me for three full seconds before letting out a loud, hysterical laugh, clapping her hands together. "Erin You absolute legend Did her designer shoes get ruined?""Yea they got covered in cranberry juice," I said. "The problem is, Crest thinks I did it because
