Ashley was mortified. She leaped down from the stage in order to catch Little Blade, but before she could reach him, a middle-aged man in the audience snagged the bra. As soon as he wrestled it away from Little Blade, he swung it in wide circles above his head like a victory flag.

Ashley was convinced her face had turned purple with humiliation. She managed to grab hold of Little Blade and turned to see Dash standing eye to eye with the man swinging her bra. Dash said something to the other man that caused him to take a step back. Whatever Dash said was effective, because the smile left the other man’s face and he willingly handed over Ashley’s bra.

With her underwear in hand, Dash joined her. “Are you ready to leave now?” he asked, as if the question was even necessary. Ashley couldn’t get out of that lounge fast enough.

“Please.” She tucked Little Blade under her arm, and with her head lowered, she nearly ran toward their rooms. As soon as they were out of earshot, she mumbled, “I have never been so embarrassed in my life.”

If Dash so much as smiled or cracked a joke, she didn’t know what she’d do. “Could I please have my bra back?” she asked, as soon as they turned down the corridor that led to their side-by-side rooms.

He held out her bra, but she could see that he was trying not to laugh.

He might think this was funny, but she definitely didn’t. “Don’t you dare,” she threatened.

“Sorry. If you could have seen the look on your face.”

She snatched the bra out of his hand and grabbed her key card, eager to disappear and bury her sorrows in a package of M&M’S from the minibar. This was what she got for her attempt to look sexy and sultry for Dash.

Little Blade squirmed in her arms as she struggled to hold on to him and manage the key card. Not that she needed it, seeing that her door was halfway open.

“Let me help,” Dash offered, reaching for Little Blade.

“You’ve already been enough help, thank you very much.”

“Hey, what did I do?”

She hesitated, knowing he was right. Dash didn’t deserve to have her frustration taken on out him, especially when he’d basically saved her from having to ask a stranger to return her underwear. “You didn’t do anything.”

His eyes revealed the first sign of sympathy.

“Apparently, in my rush to get back to sing I didn’t close the door all the way. It’s my fault.” While that was true, she did feel he was partially responsible. She refused to meet his eyes. “However, you aren’t blameless.”

“How’s that?”

It was probably a mistake to admit this. “I wanted to show you my sexy side.”

He grinned and rubbed his hand down the side of his face. “You don’t need to work hard at that, Ash. I find you plenty attractive already.”

Her gaze shot up and a warm feeling chased away some of the embarrassment. “You do?”

“Surprisingly so.”

“Surprisingly?” How was
