“
What about after? Getting back through the lobby, I mean. Assuming you’ll need to leave at some point. For the bachelorette party, if nothing else.”
“That’s not until the weekend.”
He grinned. “Your point being?”
“You know,” she said, tipping up on her toes and kissing his cheek, “I like it when you do the thinking.”
“Well, I was going to mention that, but--”
She pinched his butt, making him laugh.
“Careful or I’ll swing you up and carry you up to my room over my shoulder.”
Kerry spluttered a laugh, then said, “You know, it’s almost worth doing, just to blow everyone’s minds.”
He pulled her closer. “Don’t tempt me.”
She batted her lashes again. “But I thought you liked it when I tempted you.”
Now he slid his hand behind her and gave her a little pinch, making her skip a little step but laugh at the same time. “I guess I had that coming.”
“There’s a lot I’d like to do that has coming in the description.”
“Okay, okay, so assuming I will have to leave your pirate’s lair at some point, then yes, how to do that without being the front-page story of the gossip gazette.” She looked up at him, her expression serious. “I could always come down the ramp carrying a box of tiddledywinks. Then no one would suspect for sure.”
“A real funny one, you are,” he said dryly. “I was revisiting the whole black spandex cat burglar idea. Maybe you could sneak out under cover of darkness, shimmy down a rope from my window.”
“Okay, you’ve given that particular scenario way too much thought.” They were still laughing when they reached the end of the pier.
