After Hours: Black Lace Classics (31 page)

‘Yeah, well, thanks a bunch,’ said Jamie sarcastically, and pulled the angry and squirming Dani down onto his kilted lap. She wriggled, trying to get free. His damned sporran was digging into her hip. Or was it? God, it was his erection!

‘What made you do it?’ she demanded hotly, giving up trying to get away from him while her staff moved around them, listening surreptitiously. ‘One moment everything was sweet, and then you start doing your Braveheart impression up on the stage, and the whole place is in uproar! You’re the absolute bloody end, you really are!’

Jamie linked his arms around her waist and looked
at her consideringly. ‘Shall we get engaged, then?’ he asked her bluntly.

‘That’s a ridiculous suggestion,’ said Dani frostily. ‘My parents would go demented.’

‘Shall we?’ he repeated.

‘Oh – all right, then,’ said Dani, and kissed him. The staff let loose a thunderous roar of cheers and clapping, but neither Dani nor Jamie paid them any attention.
