CHAPTER 6

MADDIE WANTED to be a coward and hide, but more than that, she wanted to meet Lace McGee Sawyers. Lace was married to Annie’s oldest brother, Daniel, the doctor. She’d never met Daniel, but Annie assured her that he was every bit as hunky as Max, just in a different, more somber way.

She straightened her clothes the best she could, considering her panties were still in Max’s pocket. She could hardly believe what she’d just done; as far as memories went, that one was a keeper! But it was more than the sex, because Max was more. She would have enjoyed talking with him, asking how Cleo had been. She wanted to try to find out if he’d missed her at all because she’d definitely missed him.

But as per her original instructions, he’d shown her a good time. She knew that was for the best, but she still wished they’d had time to…cuddle.

Shoulders back, Maddie walked out of the room. She was prepared to be adult, to be cavalier about the experience. But then she drew up short.

Lace was wrapped around Max! And he didn’t seem to mind! The cur.

It made Maddie so angry to see another woman holding him so closely, that she didn’t even think, she just reacted.

“Just what the hell is going on here?”

Max eyed her over the top of Lace’s platinum-blond head. At first his look was questioning, then quietly satisfied. He even grinned before setting Lace away from him.

“Cursing, Maddie? My, my.”

He looked mighty pleased about something, but Maddie was more interested in Lace. The woman was drop-dead beautiful. A real knockout.

Maddie felt instantly deflated.

She had no idea what to say, how to defuse the situation so she could make a hasty escape. Cleo came to her rescue.

Slowly getting to her feet, Cleo started snarling and sniping and making vague threats at Lace.

Maddie smiled.

Cleo came to Maddie, sat on her foot, and growled at the other woman. Maddie, feeling somewhat vindicated, patted Cleo’s head.

“I have no idea what that dog has against me.” Lace looked at Max. “She still hates women?”

Maddie answered before Max could. “She doesn’t hate me. She likes me.”

Lace grinned. “So I see. I suppose, considering the fact that Max seems rather partial to you as well, it’s a good thing.”

Maddie, surprised at how nice and reasonable the other woman was being, said, “Uh…”

Lace stepped forward, keeping a wary eye on Cleo, and offered her hand. “Hi. I’m Max’s sister-in-law, Lace.”

Maddie had no choice but to accept the woman’s hand. “Maddie Montgomery.”

“So you’re Maddie! Annie has told me all about you. I understand we have a lot in common.”

Maddie looked at Lace’s gorgeous, perfect figure decked out in a striking black silk dress that showed off her incredibly beautiful blond hair in stark contrast and said again, “Uh…”

“I’m a sex therapist,” Lace explained, “and Annie said you work with social services for planned parenthood and troubled teens on sexual issues?”

Max piped in, saying, “And I love sex. We all have something in common.
