"Oh God, that feels good," he moaned.

He was doing the moaning thing on purpose, but Alexis couldn't stop a grin from pushing to her face.

"What do you like to eat? Please don't say sushi." Gray pretended to gag.

"Why not sushi?"

"The different textures make me want to hurl."

"Drama queen," she mocked. When he half-closed his eyes, she reminded him he didn't mind being sassed.

"Sass in small doses," he quipped. "Anyway, you didn't answer the question."

This part of Gray Patterson she liked. When he wasn't trying to show off body parts, he was fun to talk to. "Chinese food and brownies. Not at the same time though."

"I know some excellent places in Chinatown, if you're game."

Alexis walked around the table to work on his other side. "If I'm game?" She laughed. "When you leave this weekend you'll most likely be married. I don't think your brand new wife would be too keen on you and me going out for Chinese food." For reasons she couldn't comprehend, the thought of him leaving there as a married man bothered her.

He snorted his reply. "It's doubtful I'll leave married. The two introductions Jeb and Tish hooked me up with were way off the mark. I'd rather marry a billy goat than either one of them."

An odd happiness flowed through her. "Don't mention that to Jeb because I'm sure he could locate one for you."

Gray rolled to his side with a serious look. "I have a proposition for you, Alexis Kelly."
