wouldn"t ride my motorcycle off to the next woman while you cried yourself to sleep?” Unable to rein in his temper, he swung off the bed and hauled her up to face him. “Is that the fucking problem?”

“In case you haven"t noticed, I"m crying right now.” As she wiped her cheeks, her body vibrated from a mixture of anger and pain. And fear. He smelled it on her, the scent as pervasive as the earthy tones of her perfume. “Get out of my way.”

“Call security,” he suggested. “Yell your head off. I"m not moving until you explain what happened between when you fell asleep in my arms, and when I woke up to you trying to kill me.”

“Your father happened.” She elbowed him out of the way so she could step into her panties. “I suppose I should take back last night"s assertion that I"m not your whore since apparently, you want us to get married like, tomorrow so I can start heaving out your rug rats.”

Shawn sank onto the mattress. “So you keep saying. Would be nice if I knew those were my plans, because seriously? Had no clue.”

“How stupid do you think I am?”

“Right now? You don"t want me to answer that question.” Because he knew her penchant for histrionics, he didn"t immediately pick up the phone, but he had to fist his hands to stifle the impulse. “My father said I wanted to get married and start having children with you. In those words exactly.”

“More or less.” Rachel shimmied into her dress and tied those detested straps with a few flicks of her fingers. “It"s our destiny after all.” On went her strappy heels. “We"re matched perfectly.”

“Well, yeah, but…” Too late, her sarcasm registered. His heart gave one nasty knock against his ribs as she narrowed her eyes until mere slits of velvet brown remained. He dug deep for his patience. “You"ve never wondered what it would be like? We"re great together. We knew that before, but now that we"re lovers—”

“We were lovers. Past tense. And no, I haven’t wondered. Unlike you, I don"t spend my time thinking about destinies and heirs.” She snatched her purse off the nightstand where she"d dropped it the night before and strode to the door, moving so fast her hair swung out like a dark cape.

He rose and charged after her, then slammed a palm above her head on the door she"d just opened. “We aren"t through yet. Face me like a goddamned man instead of running away like a coward.”

“If I were a man, we wouldn"t be having this discussion.” But she turned, raising her eyes defiantly to his.

She was so freaking beautiful when she was mad, even with puffy eyelids and lips she"d bitten raw. For a long moment, he fumbled for something to say, but Rachel never suffered from that problem.

“You"re not denying it. You went to your father for advice on how to get me to slip into my designated role within the family. Mrs. Rachel Griffin.”
