As HIS LIPS TOUCHED hers, the intervening years spun away and all the reasons why this was a mistake dissolved like mist over the treetops.

Holding Nora brought not the pain of lost love he would have expected, but a rightness—almost a contentment—Caine hadn't expected to feel. How could he have forgotten how sweet she was? And how responsive.

He felt her sigh against his mouth—a slow, shuddering breath that echoed his own pleasure. Time tumbled backward, taking them past the pain to a passion that had been even more exquisite because it had been so liberally laced with love.

"God, I've missed this." Caine drew her closer, then closer still, until the rising heat threatened to fuse their bodies. "I've missed you." Although he'd never realized it, it was true.

"Don't talk," she whispered breathlessly. "Just kiss me. And hold me." Her arms wrapped possessively around him; her lips fused with his, again and again. "Tight."

Dear Lord, he was lost in her. In her touch, her taste, her scent. Nora was everything he'd been wanting, without even knowing he'd been wanting it. She was everything he'd been needing without knowing he'd been needing it. She was heaven.

She was home.

Home. The word, which once had represented unwanted strings and unwelcome commitments, now seemed like a prayer.

Caine skimmed his lips along the line of her jaw, then up her cheek to linger at her temple. Desperate to know how her body had changed during their years apart, he slipped his hands inside her lab coat. When his wide hand cupped her breast, a ragged moan escaped her parted lips.

He tugged her blouse loose, then her camisole, inching his way beneath the ivory silk. "Tfbu feel so good."

His fingers moved upward to stroke her breasts, finding them as smooth and firm and fragrant as he remembered.

He wanted to take those taut peaks in his mouth. He wanted to feel her body, hot and eager and open against his. He wanted to possess her, mind and body and soul, as he'd done on so many nights so long ago.

He was actually considering the logistics of making love to her here and now in her office, when her intercom buzzed sharply.

Like a man immersed in a sensual dream, Caine was aware of the intrusion and fought against it.

The intercom continued to buzz.

"I have to answer that." Her flat tone told him it was not her first choice.

Without removing his hands from beneath her camisole, he tugged her pearl earring off with his teeth and dropped it onto the desk before nibbling at her earlobe. "Don't tell me this hospital will come to a halt if you don't answer your intercom?"

"No, but the ER derk has a habit of just barging in."

Knowing that the idea of being caught in a heated clench with her ex-husband was more than Nora could

handle, Caine reluctantly released her, then reached out to steady her when she suddenly swayed.

"You okay?"

"Of course." But her hand trembled as she finger-combed her sleek hair.

"Remind me to stop by Richie Duggan's hardware store and get a Do Not Disturb sign for your office door.
