For reasons that still didn't make sense, she'd chosen the party. Brenna sat in the passenger seat of Nic's Jag, smoothing her hands over her dress and trying not to think about how mussed she must look.

Five minutes in the downstairs bathroom had allowed her to repair her makeup and smooth her hair. Her dress wasn't even wrinkled. She should have looked exactly as she had when she'd left the hacienda an hour before, but something was different. Maybe it was the sated, slightly stunned expression in her eyes, or the shape of her mouth— now swollen from Nic's kisses. Or maybe it was the aura of guilt and stupidity surrounding her.

If the dashboard hadn't been covered in such a lovely, soft leather, she would have banged her head against it in an attempt to knock some sense into herself. Sex with Nic? Could she have been more impulsive? She was no longer a starry-eyed teenager who still believed in happily ever after. She was a mature woman with a plan for her life. A plan that didn't include screwing up an important business relationship.

She drew in a slow, steady breath. Time to be calm. Time to be one with the universe. Time to ignore the fact that her panties were soaked and that the trembling in her body no longer had anything to do with nerves.

Was anyone going to be able to figure out what they'd just done?

"You okay?" Nic asked.

"Fine."

"Really?"

"No."

She glanced at him. He looked calm and in control. How like a man.

"Want to talk about it?" he asked.

She shook her head. What was there to say? That she was sorry she'd lost control and given into the desire that seemed to always be on the fringes of their up close and personal encounters? Of course she was sorry… almost.

Just then he turned from the road onto the long driveway that led to the hacienda. Brenna stiffened. Sex or no sex, she'd just brought the enemy onto Marcelli land.
