wounds and I bandaged his. Mercutio padded around the room until he got restless and scratched the door. I secured the towel around me a little tighter.
    “Okay, but don’t stay out too late,” I said, opening the door. “And don’t let hotel security see you!”
    Merc meowed and darted out.
    “And thanks for all your help tonight!” I called softly and blew him a kiss. Closing the door, my lids fluttered closed for a second.
    We did it. I have no idea where Jenna and Lucy Reitgarten are, and I don’t have to care!
    I strolled to the bed, climbed onto it, and collapsed against Bryn’s naked torso. “I’m hungry. What should we do about that?”
    “Room service.”
    I sighed. “That sounds great.”
    The knock at the door startled me. “Now what? The Reitgartens with the police?”
    “Let them try,” Bryn said grimly. “Just let them.”
    I giggled.
    “No, it’s room service. I ordered while you were finishing up,” he said. Bryn pulled the blanket over me to cover me, and then he shrugged into a white terry-cloth bathrobe and tied it closed.
    I watched him go to the door. He opened it only wide enough to take the tray and sign the bill. Then he returned to the bed with the tray. I glanced at the desk and table.
    “Should I get up?” I asked.
    “No,” he said. He lifted the cover and there was grilled fish with veggies and bread pudding with chocolate rum sauce.
    He stabbed a spoon into the bread pudding, drenched it in the chocolate sauce and raised it to my lips.
    “I get to have dessert before dinner?” I crooned and sucked it off the spoon. Delectable, delicious, and decadent. I swallowed. “So good!”
    I reached for the spoon, but he shook his head and dug in for another spoonful. He held it to my lips.
    I laughed. “Are you going to feed me every bite?”
    “Yes.”
    “How come?” I asked, licking chocolate sauce off my lips.
    “Because.”
    I smiled. “Mercutio’s the real hero. If he hadn’t sensed the bracelet’s magic and led me to it, we’d have been drowned by tidal waves. And you’re a hero, too. If you hadn’t protected us when we were so far out to sea, we all would’ve drowned before we ever got to shore.”
    He fed me another bite.
    “Right? We’re all sort of heroes today,” I said.
    “Yes.”
    “So how come I’m the one who gets to lie in bed and be fed bread pudding in chocolate rum sauce?”
    “Because.”
    I chuckled. “That is not an answer,” I said and took another bite before I sat up. I wrestled the spoon away from him. “You eat, too. You must be starving.”
    He watched me eat for a few moments before starting on his own food. I smiled as we ate in companionable silence.
    “We make a good team. You and me and Mercutio.”
    Bryn nodded. When we finished, he moved the tray off the bed. Then he walked to the door and put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the outside.
    “Um, Bryn, what do you have in mind exactly?”
    He tossed his robe on the chair and walked back to the bed. “Guess.”
    “But we’re both pretty scraped up,” I pointed out.
    “Yes,” he agreed, pulling me down onto the bed carefully. “I’ve got a position in mind that won’t hurt.”
    “You do?” I asked, my brows shooting up.
    He nodded. “I thought about it while you were in the shower.”
    I laughed. “You were busy.”
    He positioned me so that none of my wounds had pressure on them.
    “Wow,” I said. I ran a hand over his back, the muscles lean and strong, the skin smooth and gorgeous. “You are so clever.”
    “Yes,” he agreed. “It was the best of times,” he murmured and then he kissed me. Magic and passion laced together, making my lips tingle. The kiss continued till I was breathless with wanting. He really was irresistible sometimes.
    “Have I told you lately that I’m kind of crazy about you?” I asked.
    “No.”
    “Well, Bryn,” I said, moving my hips slowly. “I’m kind of crazy about you.”
    His breath caught and then he exhaled slowly. “Then
