    "No one has ever accusedLas Vegasof having taste. Plenty of flash and glitter but not taste!"

    "I want to see you. All of you." One hand lifted to circle her throat and raise her chin. For a timeless moment, his eyes searched hers, asking questions she couldn't begin to unravel, and then he kissed her.
