headline now: Thunder Hosts Boozy Love Cruise.”
    “Shit.” She could kiss her chance at the special events coordinator job goodbye if that happened.
    “Come on, Angie, you ’ re my only hope.”
    One night. In the morning, they ’ d get everything straightened out and he ’ d be out of her hair. She could put her mutinous body on lockdown for one night.
    “Whatever, Princess Leia, move your hand so I can unlock the chain.” After he did, she shut the door and slipped the chain free before opening it fully. She gave him a once over, lingering a little too long on the bulge behind his zipper. She jerked her gaze up before he caught her looking. “What about your stuff that you left in the room?”
    He held up the duffel. “I ’ m a dude, this is all there is.”
    Stepping to the side, she held the door all the way open. “This is just for tonight. Tomorrow we get the staff to change your lock or find you a new room or whatever needs to happen.”
    “Sounds like a plan.” He walked in, his large frame taking up most of the narrow area leading to the room. He made it two strides in and stopped dead. “Where ’ s the rest of your room?”
    “This is it.” Unlike his cabin, her ’ s was one of the regular rooms, which were all notoriously small.
    He dropped his duffel and nudged it with his heel over to the side. “ So we ’ re sharing the bed?”
    She looked around. There wasn ’ t any other furniture besides the bed, dresser and a TV mounted on the wall. The little floor space available in the cabin was taken up by boxes of fan prizes and other event items. What had she been thinking? There was no way…
    “This isn ’ t going to work.” She reached for the phone to call whoever could find him a room ASAP.
    “Look, you ’ re doing me a solid here. I ’ m not going to push my luck.”
    Eyeballing him as her hand hovered over the receiver, she considered her options. Not even Mr. Dare could fault her for not wanting to share her bed with Colt, but she knew he was harmless to everything except her libido.
    “You stay on your side or I ’ ll make you think Boom Boom ’ s cheap shot that broke your ankle was a love tap.” As far as hollow threats went, she was surprised her voice didn ’ t echo, but it was better than letting him think she was looking for Vegas part two.
    He didn ’ t even blink. “Agreed.”
    Angie gathered up her paperwork and shoved it into a folder. Next she put the laptop in the top drawer of the dresser right next to her underwear and…
    Oh shit. Where are the pajamas?
    She ’ d double-checked everything four times—everything except for the contents of her own personal suitcase. Fuck. She was a moron. Glancing down at her sundress that would be her nightgown tonight, she mentally shrugged. It was a little funky from spending the first day on the ship in it, but it would just act as Colt repellant so that was actually a good thing.
    “I ’ ll take the left side.” She rolled back the covers and sat down on the bed.
    He quirked an eyebrow at her and chuckled. “I ’ m not a total asshole, you don ’ t have to sleep fully dressed.” He reached behind his head, grabbed the collar of his T-shirt and yanked it over his head, revealing an eight pack that she could do laundry on if they got marooned on a deserted island. “I know I ’ m not sleeping that way.”
    Distracted by the way his muscles undulated when he moved, she blurted out the truth before she could come up with a believable lie. “I forgot to pack pajamas.”
    His mouth quirked up on one side and he quickly looked down but there was no way to miss the way his broad shoulders shook. Let the bastard laugh. He ’ d be laughing his way right into sleeping on the floor if he kept this up.
    “Sorry. It ’ s just nice to see that you don ’ t always have everything locked down into place. One of my T-shirts would probably cover more than any nightgown you own.” He unzipped his duffel bag and fished around
