Tonight You Belong to Me Read Online Free PDF Page B

arched in pleading, she cried, “Danny!” As trembling overtook her, he shuddered in blissful release. She collapsed atop him, and he stroked her wet back until their breathing evened out.
    Lifting up, her lazy smile filled him with warmth. “Wow.”
    “Yeah.” Better than before. He’d never have believed it possible.
    Her smile faded. “Are you sure you’re squared away with that loan shark?”
    “I am.” The thugs waited for him after the show. He’d asked Mr. Hale for an advance, in cash, and thankfully, Hale had lent it, no questions asked. Probably not the first time he’d had to bail out an employee.
    She poked a finger at his chest. “And you promise never ever to do such a thing again? Ever?”
    He had to laugh at her scolding tone. “Believe me, I won’t.”
    “Good.” She cupped her palm to his cheek and leaned in for a kiss. “Because I don’t want to have to threaten to kick any more asses.”
    “It’s good to know I can rely on you if I need some asses kicked.”
    Turning, she slid her back to rest against his chest. “I’m particularly vicious when left hanging in coital relations.”
    “I noticed what a tigress you became.” And a little frightening . But he’d keep that to himself.
    “I’ve always been a tigress with you.”
    “No argument there.” He kissed her cheek. “Do you still want to leave Las Vegas?”
    She ran her hands along his leg. “So long as I’m with you, I’m happy.”
    Sometimes her vague answers had a way of backfiring. To be clear, he asked, “Guess that means we can sign the contract?”
    Tilting her head up, she pressed her lips together. “How will we bill the act?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “Danny and Jilly?” she sing-songed. “Jilly and Danny?”
    Might as well spring it on her now. “How about Mr. and Mrs. O’Malley?”
    Water sloshed over the sides as she scrambled in the tub to gape in delight. “Oh baby, you make me as high as a Georgia pine.”
    “Does that mean yes?”
    She walked her hands up alongside him until her lips touched his. “Yes.”
    “Should we find a new song?”
    “Why? Every night is tonight. And every night, you belong to me.”
    He ditched his champagne glass when she shifted herself to settle atop him. She made him high, too.
    She raised her glass again. “Oh, another toast.”
    “To?” Please not Billy Benoit . The way the crooner shone his spotlight smile on her made him want to sock his neon white teeth.
    “To Madame Eve. Without her 1Night Stand service, I’d probably be in Los Angeles, and you’d be here, crying in your beer.”
    “No doubt. To Madame Eve.” He touched glasses with her and drank, grateful to her, but also thankful he’d never need to use her service again.
    “Maybe we should send her complimentary tickets.”
    He doubted the mysterious madame would show. “How about if we dedicate the song to her next time we sing Tonight You Belong to Me ?”
    She looped an arm behind his neck, her sultry Southern accent close to his ear, “How about if we start harmonizing right now?”
    Cupping her breast, his heart already sang. “My kind of duet.”
