He practically purred, ‘Now that sounds like a challenge. It’s certainly not a no.’

‘I refuse to answer on the basis it may incriminate me.’ Bonni liked the lighter, more playful banter between them.

Quinn let out a bark of laughter. Music began, coming from carefully concealed speakers in the bushes andtrees that ringed the fountains. They fell silent when the first spray of water shot in a stunning arc from a pool. It was breathtaking how beautiful the display was. The water danced to the music and Bonni was spellbound.

‘Nomatter how many times I see the fountains, I’m still impressed with them.’ Quinn rested his chin on the top of her head.

‘It definitely is something to be impressed about.’

The show wound up and the crowd dispersed. Quinn led Bonni into the shuffle of people and they were carried along the sidewalk toward the hotel.

‘I don’t want this to end.’ Bonni wrapped her arm around his waist and tucked her face into his shoulder, warm in the curve of his arm that held her so tight. Before they reached the front of the hotel she pulled him to a stop. He raised an eyebrow incuriosity.

‘This has been absolutely amazing. A dream come true. When I tell Ava about this, she is just going to swoon. But, Quinn . . . I need to ask one more time. Are you sure about this? You’re talking about changing your entire life for me, and we’ve practically just met.’

Quinn sighed and then looked around before dragging Bonni around the corner. The architecture of the building createdsmall secluded alcoves and he pushed her into one, pressing her against the stone, warm from the Vegas sunshine. With his arms around her, she was surrounded by his presence, feeling both comforted and oh so safe. He kissed her again, one that started off sweet before rapidly evolving into something passionate and wild.

He raised his head, just enough so that they were barely touching, and shewas bracing herself against his arms because her knees were so weak.

‘Ask me,’ Quinn said.

‘What?’ Bonni was breathless again, and all she wanted to do was close the gap between their lips.

‘Youknow what,’ Quinn replied, dropping an oh-too-short kiss against her mouth. ‘Ask me.’

It took a few moments for her brain to kick into gear, and then Bonni smiled. It was a smile so huge she couldfeel her cheeks stretching to their limit.

‘Still in?’ she asked.

‘All in,’ he corrected. ‘Always.’
