CHAPTER 3

PAIGE POUNCED THE MOMENT SHE AND MICHAEL WERE in her champagne-colored Mercedes coupe.

“Whoa!”

She wrapped herself around him as best she could in the tiny car. “Kiss me, Michael.”

Michael glanced at the people getting into the car next to them. “Not here.”

“One kiss?” she pouted.

That pout rendered him defenseless, and she knew it. He leaned in to kiss her and was hit by a surge of lust. The only area of their relationship that never gave them any trouble was their ability to fire each other up with just a touch, a look, or in this case, a kiss. When her eager tongue wound around his, he groaned and tore himself away. “Hold on, honey.”

Her hand landed in his lap. “If you insist,” she said with a saucy smile.

He grabbed her hand just as it reached its destination. “Paige! Stop!”

She flopped back into her seat. “What's your problem, Michael? We haven't seen each other in a month, for Christ's sake.”

“And whose fault is that?”

She started the car and backed out of the parking space with only the briefest of glances behind her. “I've been busy planning your wedding. I can't just come up there any old time you want me to. Besides, the last time I was there you were so busy with work I hardly saw you.”

“If you hadn't moved down here, we wouldn't be having this discussion, now would we?”

Fuming, Paige handed a five-dollar bill to the parking attendant. “Here we go,” she muttered.

Her two-carat diamond engagement ring sparkled under the lights of the tollbooth. As it occurred to Michael yet again that he would be paying for that ring for the next three years, he couldn't help but wonder if the marriage would last that long. The thought startled him. When exactly had he begun to have all these doubts?

They drove north on Interstate 95 in silence.

After a while he reached for her hand and was relieved to feel her fingers tighten around his. That blew over faster than usual. He truly loved Paige. She could be so sweet and generous, but just as often she could be a spoiled brat. He was seeing more and more of that side of her as they planned their wedding. Unfortunately, his family had seen just enough of it to give them serious reservations about his plans to marry her.

Resting his head back, he realized how exhausted he was. The trial preparations were kicking his ass, and the idea of spending the weekend with the Admiral, Mrs. Simpson, and two hundred of their closest friends sucked what little energy he had right out of him. What he really needed this weekend was sleep.

Paige took the exit for A1A on the way to Amelia Island where she lived with her parents in a six-thousand-square-foot home so sprawling they'd installed an intercom system so they could find each other. Raised with three sisters in a six-room ranch house, Michael thought the Simpson's home was obscene. Nearly everything about their lifestyle offended him,
