Brie checked the time on her smartphone and wondered if there was still a chance for her to duck out before Maddox came knocking at her apartment door.

She should never have let him strong-arm her into a date tonight. Although date was a rather placid term for what she figured he had in mind, especially considering his parting words about her not getting much sleep tonight.

God, what had come over her last night? Letting him kiss and touch her the way he had? One minute she’d been telling him to get lost; the next she’d been wrapped around him as tightly as a glove, sucking face and a whole lot more.

If not for Madelyn’s interruption, she and Maddox would have done the nasty right there in her childhood bedroom, with her mother and sisters, and Lord only knew who else, just down the hall. What if they’d heard, even with her door locked?

Aunt Constance was the one most likely to get caught fornicating in the house. But everyone kind of expected that from her, and to give Constance her due, she had very little shame. She would just have laughed it off and gone to open a fresh bottle of wine.

But though Brie wouldn’t put herself in the uptight prude category, she wasn’t as casual and free-spirited about S-E-X as her notorious aunt.

She wished she could blame her rogue behavior on too much wine. Or maybe a roofie somebody had slipped into her drink when she wasn’t looking. But neither of those options applied.

Maddox had kissed her and she’d liked it.

Then he’d touched her and she’d liked it even more.

Like gasoline poured on a drought-ridden forest and set ablaze, the passion between her and Maddox had exploded, out of control.

Of course it had been a while since she’d been with somebody—well over a year. She was busy with her career and didn’t care for casual sexual encounters with guys she barely knew. She supposed that offered her some slim margin of excuse for last night.

Yet even that wasn’t true.

She’d never lost her mind like she had with Maddox. Never lowered her inhibitions and just let herself go wild. Not even with Stephen, the man she’d once loved with a heartbreaking intensity, had she been able to lower all her barriers.

But with Maddox, there hadn’t been any barriers at all. One touch from him and her brain cells had turned to mush, her usual sense of caution and logic gone straight out the door.

So where did that leave her?

Clearly, Maddox wanted to pick up where they’d left off last night.

As for her, she knew what she ought to tell him and that was a big fat no.

Getting involved with him—well, to be honest, even more involved—would be a mistake of monumental proportions. They had a history of animosity between them. Plus, he was her client and therefore off-limits.

Really, the answer was obvious.

So why was she sitting here on her couch, dithering over what to say when he showed up at her door?

She glanced again at the time.
