Chapter Seven

Patrick stared at the container of aspirin on his desk. Since Maddie had come to work at KLMS he’d practically emptied the economy-size bottle; pretty soon it would eat an economy-size hole in his tummy. Maddie was making him crazy—even crazier than having sixty percent of his employees out sick because they’d gotten a twenty-four-hour virus that was turning into a week-long siege in the bathroom.

Kissing her had been a huge mistake, no matter how good it felt at the time. He could see the confusion in her face every time she looked at him now. And why shouldn’t she? She came from a world where intimate kisses meant something.

It did mean something, said the internal voice that reminded him of his father.

The voice was constantly with him these days, no matter how hard he tried not to hear it. If he had acknowledged the voice, he would have reminded it that he’d only just met Maddie, they were little more than strangers, so how much could a kiss between them mean?

The memory of Maddie’s kiss-swollen lips, dazed eyes and the tantalizing rise and fall of her breasts filled his head, and he groaned.

More than anything he was furious with himself. How could he have kissed Maddie in the first place? It was bad enough that he’d lost control with a complete innocent, but Maddie was recovering from a broken heart. It smacked of taking advantage, and the O’Rourkes had a code about women that was as old as Ireland. Never, in all the outrageous things he’d done as a kid, had he done something he thought would hurt a girl.

Then he’d gone and stuffed his foot in his mouth, trying to tell Maddie not to get any ideas about marriage. That had been arrogant of him. No wonder she was so offended.

“Boy, do I have a problem,” he muttered, tossing down a couple more aspirin tablets.

The radio was playing on his desk, set to a low volume, and for some reason it sounded like Maddie—probably because he couldn’t stop thinking about her. With a sigh he turned up the dial to hear what was going on in the broadcast booth.

“…he’s a little old-fashioned, but that isn’t the problem. I mean, my dad is old-fashioned, and he’s wonderful,” said the voice.

It was Maddie.

Patrick shook his head to clear it, unable to believe what he was hearing. How could a scatterbrain like Maddie get herself on his radio station?

“And he’s a great kisser, but now he acts like I’m kryptonite or something. I could swear he was interested …you know, physically, but maybe I was wrong. Can a man fake that kind of thing?”

Oh…no.

Patrick lunged from his chair, only to fall flat on his face when his feet tangled with the trash can.

“Does anyone out there know why men are so confusing?” Maddie continued. “Maybe a man could explain it, though we probably confuse you, too. It must be all that ‘men are from Mars’ stuff I’ve heard about. I have to admit we do seem to be from different planets.
