"Garrett, come over here," Ty requested quietly

"This floor is surprisingly clean," Ty told hiestured to the lush carpet at Zane"s feet

"Should I interpret that as „bring et down here and kiss me"?" Zane asked as he crossed his arms and looked down at his partner

"Oh, this is just getting ridiculous," Zane muttered

Ty shook his head and popped the top on the beer anyway "I got it," he said as he waved Zane off and shuffled barefoot to the door He opened the door wide, assuun to the face in the doorway of his suite

"It was a minor accident, not nearly as bad as the rumors, I"m sure," Ty assured her as he plucked her hands off his chest and steered her toward the sitting area and the other two lasses fro just fine"

"Yes," Bianchi co over the cart from room service "And you ordered a drink from roo the shot of whiskey
