Nick watched her go, holding back a curse. Women. They had no idea what they wanted. Acting cool one minute and coy the next. Again he’d been goaded into kissing her, and again his body had jolted awake like a three-alarm fire. Maybe he was going through some kind of midlife crisis at thirty. That would explain these strange…feelings he hadn’t been able to shake over the past week. It wasn’t lust—he knew what that felt like all too well. It could just be irritation or pure annoyance. He was certainly feeling that.

What he really needed, he thought, as he shot to his feet, was to get out of this world of wedding bliss. It was starting to warp his mind. Maybe he’d go to the casino or head straight for the bar the way he had last night. Whatever he did, he wanted out of here. He gave Kitty a kiss on the cheek, shook Ted’s hand and took off for the lobby.

But he didn’t go to the bar or to the gaming tables. Instead he followed the trail of a warm, intoxicating fragrance. Like an idiot, he went after Maggie.

He caught up with her at the elevators. “Maggie, hold on a minute.”

“What are you doing here?” she said, stabbing repeatedly at the up button that was already lit.

“Looking for you.”

“Why?”

The elevator doors slid open and Nick expelled an aggravated breath. “I don’t know.”

She didn’t say anything, just stalked into the empty elevator. He followed her. “Dammit, Maggie.” Taking her hand, he turned her to face him. “Look, I didn’t want you to leave the party.”

She wrenched her hand free, leaned past him and pushed the button for the seventeenth floor. “No. You wanted me to dance with those other men.” The door closed and they were alone. “Why didn’t you just tell me you weren’t interested in—”

“Dammit, Maggie,” he repeated, hauled her against him, kissed her hard, then pressed her back against the elevator wall. “I am interested in you. That’s the problem.”

Breath held, she stared at him, her eyes wide and searching his for answers that he didn’t want to give, but somehow had to find a way to communicate.

“You deserve a guy who believes in love. Someone who wants what you want, thinks the same way you do.” He leaned toward her and slowly brushed his thumb over her lips. “You pissed me off back there. That kiss—that incredible kiss—I don’t know how to stop myself from doing that again or wanting more. You’re the expert, Maggie. Tell me how to stop myself from wanting you.”

Finally she released the breath she was holding. “Oh, Nick,” she whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I’m no expert. I don’t even know how to stop wanting you.”

On a desperate groan, he covered her mouth again, kissing her deeply. “Why do you feel so good?”

She whimpered her response, her mouth slanting, taking his tongue into her slick warmth. His groin tightened, lust ripping into him, longing filling every empty corner inside him.
