His mouth twitches with amusement. “When have you ever?”
“You really are serious. Get married today? How?”
“Do you know where your birth certificate is?”
“No.” Somewhere in a filing cabinet at The Grove, I suspect.
He reaches into his breast pocket again, holding up an envelope, wiggling it like a fan. “I do.”
“You stole my birth certificate from The Grove?”
“‘Stole’ is such a judgmental term,” he says dryly.
“It’s a true term!”
He pretends to be philosophical, pressing his fingers against his chin like Freud. “What, exactly, is ‘truth’?”
“The truth is that I love you.”
“Now we’re getting somewhere.”
“And your insane scheme to marry me is brilliant!”
“I know.”
“So let’s do it.”
“Really?”
“You’ve always said you were a man of action. Prove it.”
“Is that a challenge?”
“Worse.”
“Worse?”
“It’s a dare.”
The growl from his throat sets my heart beating faster. “Do you,” he whispers, pulling me in hard against his hot body, “have any idea what hearing the word ‘dare’ from your mouth does to me?”
“Show me.”
His throat moves as he swallows, eyes half-hooded and dark. “Let’s go back to my place and I’ll show you.”
I wince at the thought of going back there.
“No,” I say between kisses. “I have a better idea.”
He pulls back and gives me an evaluative look. He’s reading my mind. I let him.
“Let’s do it, then. Get married,” he says, nodding.
“Where?”
“Where else?”
“Vegas,” we say in unison.
