I shook my head (and hair—I’d gone with my Farrah Fawcettflips-waves-and-curls-run-amuck-except-bigger look), but said, “I’m not takin’any chances.”
His grin became a smile.He tugged on my hand and pulled mein so he could touch his lips to my forehead.
About that time, Ronald pulled into a spot and stopped, so Itore my eyes from Marcus’s retreating lips and looked out the windshield.
There was a big sign on the concrete wall in front of thespot that said,RESERVED.PENTHOUSE.
Uh.
Penthouse?
The door at my side opened and Marcus let my hand go to puthis to my hip and give it a light shove, encouraging in a murmur, “Let’s getyou fed, baby.”
I slid out.
That was when I saw in front of the three spots next to thelimousine, one that held Marcus’s Mercedes, one that held a black Escalade, andsince the Escalade was so big I didn’t see what the other one held, but I didsee the same sign on the wall that was in front of the limo and the otherspots.
Four parking spaces.
All his.
My Lord.
Marcus took my hand and led me to the elevator that wasrightnextto the parking spot the limo was in.
But of course the owner of the penthouse would have all thebest spots.
The elevator came.We got in.Brady got in with us.Ronaldand his sunglasses did too.
And it was Ronald that tapped in a code on the elevator padthen hit the button that had the letters PH.
They stood in front of us.
We stood at the back.
I looked up at Marcus.“You said you had a condo.”
He looked down at me.“I do.”
“A condopenthouse?”
He grinned again and squeezed my hand.
“Lobster, limos, and penthouses.You’resomethin’,sugar,” I muttered.
“I’ll take that as good,” he replied.
I looked to the backs of the boys in front of me, stating, “Seein’ as that’s how I meant it, you go right ahead.”
At that, he let my hand go but only so he could curve hisarm around my waist and curl me so my front was pressed to his side.
I looked up at him again.“This is a long ride, darlin’.Your penthouse on the moon?”
With that, he burst out laughing.
And I loved every second of it, hearing it and watching it.
Unfortunately, in the middle of it, the elevator doorsopened.
