CHAPTER 7

Danny's eyelids drooped as the level of tequila in the glass moved lower and the minutes ticked by.

Trish was keenly aware of the time passing, every second bringing them closer to midnight. She had no intention of letting Crash go without at least an hour alone with him. Three hours would be even better. Hating the deadline hanging over their heads, she felt the pressure and searched for some way to get her brother moving.

"Hey, you guys want to run upstairs to the hotel room with me? These shoes are killing me. I want to change them real quick."

"Sure. We'll come with you." Obviously wise to her motivation, Crash stood.

Danny, still seated with his arm around Dawn at the table, frowned. "Can't you go do that and come back here?"

"I think we should go with her. Um, my feet hurt too." Dawn caught Trish's gaze and mouthed silently, "Thank you."

Dawn must have thought Trish was trying to arrange it so she and Danny could have time together in the room. That worked for Trish. As long as the result was time with Crash alone and at least partially naked, it was fine with her.

"Okay. Fine." Danny stood and swayed a bit, his eyes not quite focused. "Did we pay the bill?"

"Yeah. We're all set." Trish cringed and glanced at Crash. Maybe they'd done too good of a job getting her brother liquored up. How was he going to walk back on the ship in this condition?

Crash leaned low. "We got a few hours. He'll be a'ight."

She hoped so. But right now she couldn't worry about how quickly Danny would metabolize the tequila. Trish was more concerned if Dawn could lure him into the bedroom and close the deal so she could be with Crash.

"Come on. Let's go." Trish led the way out of the crowded pub and out onto the sidewalk.

A few steps had them inside the hotel lobby and to the elevators as her heart pounded. Upstairs in the hall outside her room, the adrenaline coursing through her veins had her hand trembling. Trish had to work to hold steady and shove the keycard into the slot in her door. Finally, the light turned green and she turned the knob, pushing the door wide.

Now what? How did she get Danny and Dawn into the bedroom without looking obvious? They were into each other, but unlike last night, they hadn't been making out in the bar, or in the street, or in the elevator . . .

"Danny, can you help me? My other shoes are on the shelf in the closet and I won't be able to reach them." Dawn the seductress batted her eyelashes at Danny.

Trish should have known she wouldn't have to worry about helping her friend get a man into bed. Trish tried not to think too hard about the fact that man was her brother.

"Uh, sure." He glanced back at Crash before Dawn pulled him into the bedroom and closed the door behind them.

Trish shook her head.
