Maggie could feel her face heat, and her own flustered reaction made her even more angry. He had no right to do this to her—to come to her house and kiss her and say such things and leave her so stirred up.What kind of cruel game was he playing? Did he have any idea how painful she found this, how much she hated the blunt reminder that her body could still burn with the same desires and needs she had before her world shattered?

She didn’t want this, the sweet surge of blood through her veins, the tremble of anticipation in her stomach, the heady, seductive taste of him still on her lips.

Damn him.

Damn him for filling her senses with needs and wants she had tried so hard to forget about since her injury. She suddenly ached to be held and kissed and adored, even though she knew it was impossible. He had no right to do this—to leave her restless and aroused and needy.

“Why are you so scared?”

She bristled. “Scared of what?”

“I’m not like your fiancé, Maggie. I haven’t turned away from you, have I?”

His words seemed to resonate in her chest. He was right. He hadn’t turned away. He had been in her face since the moment she came back to town, pushing her, riding her. Every time she turned around, there he was with that damn smile and those killer eyes and his blasted insidious charm that somehow made her forget all the reasons why she didn’t want anything to do with him.

She hadn’t asked him to take her on as his pet project, she reminded herself. Maybe it would have been better if he had turned away; then she wouldn’t be left here aching and hungry.

“I told you I’m not interested in any kind of relationship,” she said curtly.

“Like it or not, we have a relationship, Maggie.”

“Only because you won’t leave me alone!”

“So you can sit around feeling sorry for yourself? Or worse, pretend you’re the same person you were six months ago and can do everything you did before, without blinking an eye?”

“Listen carefully here, Dalton. It’s none of your business what I do. If I wake up in the morning and decide I want to scale the Grand Teton, you have absolutely nothing to say about it!”

“You’re right.” He stood up and started clearing the dishes and she had to keep her eyes firmly fixed forward so she didn’t give in to the urge to see if he was telling the truth about being aroused.

“I can clear those,” she snapped.

“So can I.”

His voice was so calm, so rational as he carried the stack of dishes to the sink and started to rinse them that Maggie, conversely, felt a slick, hot ball of rage lodge in her throat.

She wasn’t helpless, damn it, and she was so tired of everyone treating her like some kind of chipped and fragile porcelain figurine.

Her stump throbbed as she shoved herself onto the crutches, but she ignored it and swung herself to the sink.
