“I don’t care if it does. People can say whatever they want about me, about us.” She stood on her tiptoes and brushed her lips over his. “Let them talk, it doesn’t matter to me. All that matters is you.”
“Us,” he corrected. A thoughtful look entered his silver eyes. “When do we need to leave for the show?”
She glanced at the clock hanging over the front desk. “Forty minutes.”
He pretended to think something over. “All right, I can do forty minutes. But we’d better get upstairs and make use of every single second.”
“You’re right. Time is of the essence.” Grinning at the desire smoldering in his eyes, she took his hand and dragged him toward the elevator.
“Maybe we shouldn’t even take our clothes off,” he offered. “Might save some time.”
“Oh no,” she said as the doors dinged open. “Don’t you dare deprive me of your naked body.”
Laughing, he pulled her into the elevator and said, “I wouldn’t dream of it.”
