“Well, I’m not that kind of girl,” she said frankly.
He raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”
“I mean,” she gestured around them, “I’m not going to kiss you,reallykiss you when the whole world is watching.”
Trev immediately grabbed her hand, pulling her toward the house.
“Where are we going?” Renna stumbled behind him, trying to keep up.
“To find some privacy.” He opened the front door. “Is there anyone in this house I should know about?”
“Nobody.” She smiled back at him and he nearly came undone.
Trev closed the space between them, pressing her back against the closed door. “I’ve been waiting six months to kiss you again, to kiss you like that night at the ball.”
“You might be disappointed.” Her green eyes sparkled, taunting him as he inched closer. “Too much buildup,” she whispered between them.
“I doubt it,” he breathed against her lips.
Then he kissed her the way he really wanted to.
They kissed until they had been kissing so long, Drake came knocking.

“You know, kidnapping is very unattractive.” Renna reached for the blindfold covering her eyes but stopped when Trev tsked at her from across the transporter. She was annoyed with his surprise, only because she hated not knowing where he was taking her. “I mean, it is probably theleastattractive thing you could do.”
“You think this is the least attractive thing I could do?” Trev said skeptically.
She couldn’t see his face but could tell he was poking fun at her.
“I can think of twenty things that should be moreunattractive.”
Her fake annoyance increased as he started rattling off ideas. “Throw up is more unattractive. No, I take that back, vomit coming out of my nose is extremely unattractive.”
She put her palm up to stop him. “I don’t need you to list things.”
It was too late. Trev was already continuing. “Don’t even get me started on other bodily fluids...the kind that should only be found in bathrooms.”
“Stop!” she giggled out, putting her hands lightly over her ears.
“Those thingsshould be top on your list of the least attractive things about me. Trust me, I know.”
“Okay, you proved your point.” Her head shook as she pretended not to hear him.
“Are you sure?” he asked. “Because I could keep going.”
“No! Please just stop now.” The transporter rolled over a bump jostling her body against the door. “Are we almost there? I feel like we have been driving for a while.”
“You’re kind of whiny when you’re blindfolded. Did you know that?” The tone of voice said he was kidding, even though she was, in fact, being whiny. “You’re in luck though; we’re here.”
The transporter slowed to a stop, and Renna instinctively reached for her blindfold.
