Chapter 10
Overview
After the drive-in, Alexis and Daniel return to the B&B and share an intense makeout. Daniel stops short of sex out of respect for his grandparents’ bedroom and invites Alexis to his loft instead. His playful consent and boundaries deepen trust, nudging Alexis closer to acting on their attraction.
Summary
Returning from the drive-in, Alexis and Daniel tumble into the hallway, giddy from their date. They banter about The Princess Bride as Daniel closes in and they kiss, their chemistry immediate and overwhelming.
Alexis, aroused and surprised by her own eagerness, compares the moment to a teenage makeout—something she never did, having focused on academics and volunteering. The attraction is mutual and physical; Daniel’s arousal and attention make the stakes clear.
When Alexis hints at taking things further, Daniel pulls back. He refuses to have sex in what used to be his grandparents’ bedroom, explaining it wouldn’t feel right. He notes the other rooms aren’t made up and instead suggests moving to his loft, where he would have no reservations.
Daniel stresses that he wants Alexis to do only what she’s comfortable with, joking he might tire her out and teasing that the B&B is haunted. His mix of respect, humor, and desire disarms Alexis, and his charm proves irresistible, nudging her toward accepting the invitation.
