"Has anyone ever told you that you're terrible at kissing?"

Grace immediately felt wronged. "I haven't kissed anyone else other than you."

Her words pleased Xander, and the last hint of hostility dissipated from his face. He pressed the button for the top floor again. "Stay away from Jake."

Grace pressed her lips together, choosing not to reveal the deal between her and Jake. She knew it wasn't a good time to bring it up.

She nestled in Xander's arms and looked at the bag of food he handed her. "Is this for me?"

"It's for a stray dog."

Grace laughed and hugged him tightly again. "Can't you speak your mind?"

Frowning, Xander helped her steady herself. "The elevator isn't an ideal place for your first time."

Grace was momentarily stunned. It took her a while to finally realize the meaning behind his words and what she had accidentally touched. Her face turned beet red, and she couldn't utter a word. Even when they returned to the venue, the blush on her face hadn't faded.
