Blake couldn’t believe they’d coordinated costumes so perfectly. Just one more reminder of how compatible they were. “What do you think? Do I make a decent Superman?”

She chewed the corner of her lower lip and blinked up at him. “I think I need another drink.”

A shot of adrenaline raced through him as he waved to the bartender. Oh yeah. His costume had definitely thrown her off balance, and in a good way. The bartender passed him a pink concoction, and he handed it to her.

She sipped, closed her eyes, and moaned softly. “Mmmm.” When she opened her eyes, she said, “You’re very late.”

“I can explain.” He placed a hand on her lower back and steered her away from the crowd. He wanted her alone. They moved to the far corner, but the music blared too loudly to have a decent conversation. “Outside.”

Once they stepped into the night, he led her down the relatively empty street, and the music faded into the distance. They walked in silence for a block before she stopped and stared into his face. “You look different. More relaxed.”

With an erection pressing against his zipper, relaxed wasn’t the exact word he’d use, but she was right. He felt different. Slipping his hands in his pockets to keep from touching her face, his fingers touched something else that was hers. A flower-shaped pink sticky note. He removed it and held it up.

“You caught the landscape miscalculation on the downtown parking lot.”

She grimaced. “That sounds like an accusation.”

“Not at all. I’m impressed.”

She rolled her eyes. “Everyone seems to be impressed with me tonight.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“It would be, if I wanted to impress people.”

He’d been annoyed at having to stay in the office so late, but with the architect’s issues, he had to make certain nothing was left for chance. Now, he was pleased he’d taken the extra time to figure out the calculations.

And that was just one part of the problem. If he couldn’t get the finances straightened out, he’d have one hell of a fight against the board explaining why keeping the old—even though it would cost them several million more to bring the existing buildings up to code—would be preferable to demolishing and building new.

Blake squinted at her in the dim light and tried to remember all the reasons why kissing her would be a terrible idea. Then she licked her lips, and he couldn’t help himself. His hands moved on their own, cupping her face and lifting her chin. When his mouth closed over hers, he tasted her sweet drink on her lips and felt his growing desire.

If they hadn’t been standing in the middle of the street, he’d have his hands all over her tight curves, but the roar of a passing motorcycle grounded him, and he stepped back, his gaze landing on the rise and fall of her chest as she caught her breath. Good. He shouldn’t be the only one panting.

He cleared his throat. “I’ve been crunching numbers and architectural plans.”

She blinked and touched a finger to her lips.
