WITHOUT EFFORT, Nick lifted her to the top of the counter. Josie felt his fingers on the hem of her T-shirt, tugging it upward, and she shivered. This was insane, outrageous, but she didn't stop him, didn't change her mind.

"Nick?"

"Finally."A rough groan escaped him and he squeezed her tight. "You don't how bad I hated being called another man's name." His mouth closed over her nipple through her bra and she dropped her head back, gasping. The gentle pull of his mouth could be felt everywhere, but especially low in her belly. When he pushed her bra aside, she knew she had to stop him before she was beyond the point of caring.

Panting, she managed to say, "I have a stipulation."

He surprised her by saying, "All right." Then he added, "Buttell me quick. I'm dying here."

He lifted his head to look at her and she saw that the tops of his cheekbones were darkly flushed, his eyes slumberous but bright with heat. He looked so incrediblysexy, she almost forgot what she wanted to say. But it was important. He had lied to her and made a fool of her. When she thought of how she'd gone on and on about his partner Nick, she wanted to crawl away into a dark hole. And he'd let her discuss him as if he hadn't been sitting right beside her. He'd let her make a fool of herself.

She'd tried bluffing her way out of the embarrassment by claiming a determination to experiment, to experience life – and men – to the fullest. Only, he'd called her on it and made a counteroffer she couldn't possibly refuse. She knew how easily he could fulfill his end of the bargain, and knowing made her want him all the more. When he left, it would hurt; she didn't fool herself about that. But now, for at least a little while, she could have everything she'd ever dreamed of – all the excitement and whirling thrills. If she didn't grab this opportunity for herself, she'd regret it for the rest of her life.

But if she was going to play his game, then she had to have control, to make certain he would never again be in a position to deceive her. She'd take what he freely offered – but on her terms, not his.

Nick toyed with the snap on her jeans. "Is this your idea of foreplay, honey? Making me wait until I lose my mind? Believe me, with the way I feel right now, the wait won't be too long. After what I've been through today, insanity is just around the bend."

His teasing words brought her out of her stupor. "I have to be in charge."

He lifted one dark brow and his fingers stilled."In charge of what?"

What kind of question was that? She tried to keep her chin raised, to maintain eye contact, but his slow grin did much to shake her resolve."Things. What we're doing."

"So then this—" He dragged
