She huffs, “Fine.”

As she settles, I grip the back of her head, holding her to me.

“I won’t let anything happen to you.” My voice is soft.

“I know. It wasn’t your fault.” She leans back to press a quick kiss to my lips.

“I’ll get us back. Hold on.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”I ask as I put my arm over Katie’s shoulders, pulling her in close.

I love being able to hold her close and show her affection.

“I’m fine, I promise.”

Leaning down, I kiss the top of her head.

“Just making sure.”

“And I appreciate it,” she says as we step into the elevator.

Katie pulls away and hits the button for our floor and to close the door.

“I’m surprised you wanted to take the elevator,” she says as she steps back into my arms.

Leaning against the wall, I brush a piece of hair out of her face. “Don’t get used to it.” I smirk.

“We could have taken the stairs,” she says softly with a small smile.

“We could have, but the sooner we get back up to the room, the sooner I have you to myself.”

“And what are you going to do when you have me all alone?” she asks, pressing a kiss to my neck.

“Depends on what you want to do,” I whisper before leaning down, kissing her.

I weave my hands into her hair as she runs her hands over my shoulders.

The elevator jolting under our feet has us breaking apart.

“What the hell,” Katie mumbles as the lights flicker. The elevator jolts one more time before coming to a stop.

“No fucking way,” I say under my breath as I watch the door, willing it to open.

Katie turns in my arms and stares at the door. “Did we…” she trails off.

I shake my head. “It’s just slow. It will open any time now.”

Katie steps away and goes back to the panel, opening the door that’s marked emergency. She pulls out the corded phone, bringing it to her ear.

“Hi, there seems to be a problem with the elevator.”

She pauses for a beat.

“Yeah, I believe we’re stuck. We were on level two and we’re on our way back to our room on floor four.” She pauses again. “Okay, thank you,” she says before hanging up the phone, turning back toward me. “So…”

“So?” I raise a brow. “What did they say?”
