of her arms and slid her jacket off her shoulders. Maggie thought she was beginning to see that flirtatious smile creep back into his eyes.

“And even though I’ve been fighting it every step of the way, the gods take pity on me,” he continued, leaning to whisper into her ear, “I can no longer deny how much I want you.”

His words sent a rush of feeling through her that began in her core and spread like wildfire as far as the tips of her fingers and toes. She wanted to believe him, that this possibly immortal man could want her so badly. Yet she knew his sensual words were probably only a part of his shtick. If Calan felt it was his mission to bring pleasure to lovelorn women, he would have learned to sweet-talk them along the way.

“Why me?” She couldn’t resist asking.

He drew closer, although she wouldn’t have thought it possible. His chest was upon hers, already crushing her full bosom and making her nipples pebble with delight. “Perhaps it’s because, as proud and capable a woman as you are, those shits convinced you that you weren’t special. And a wee part of you began to believe it. I plan to show you the error of your ways.”

Without another word, Calan was upon her like a starving man who’d been invited to a sumptuous buffet. Gently, so as not to hurt her, but with a force that would not be denied, he pinned her to the nearest wall. He encircled her with his arms. One hand buried itself in her red curls. The other hand was already reaching down, cupping and squeezing her bottom. He kissed her, ravishing her with his mouth, as if trying to slake a centuries-old thirst.

Maggie could barely breathe. Once again, he’d seen into her. He’d seen that, despite her bravado, she was crushed inside. Used. Needed pampering and possibly some fixing.

Maybe he could fix her. Help her recover from the worst few years of her life. Years that had taught her not to hope anymore. To just be.

Don’t expect excitement or loyalty. Don’t expect five stars. You’re lucky to get three and a half. Hadn’t that inner dialogue plagued her for so long, despite the smile she kept plastered on her face?

And why was it that every time she glanced at Calan, those elusive five stars flashed in front of her eyes?

No. She was just hungry for him, hungry for a man who made her feel beautiful after men such as Matthew and Bobby had merely dropped hints that she could stand to lose a few pounds. She was merely starving for the temporary nourishment only Calan could provide with his lips and roaming fingers. “Oh, Calan,” she uttered, once his lips released hers and blazed a trail down her neck.

“You’re radiant, Maggie.” He combed through her hair with his fingers. “I’ve never seen hair this color, or eyes so blue. You’re the loveliest creature I’ve ever seen.”

The loveliest? It was hard to believe.
