Maggie's Desire Read Free Page A

magnum. "That's your fifth broken glass tonight. What's up?"
    Oh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that Brian took Cassandra and Tracy into one of the back rooms over an hour ago or that every fifteen minutes you pull me up on the bar and go to third base. She didn't think her panties had ever been so wet.
    Maggie pushed Nick out of her way. "Nothing," she said, stomping back to the bar.
    Nick grabbed her around the waist. "He's coming."
    "What? Who?"
    She saw Brian push his way through the hordes of people with his 'I just got laid' smile on his sexy face.
    "Fuck," she said under her breath. Pain filled her chest and tears stung her eyes.
    "Come on," Nick said, and lifted her up onto the bar.
    The crowed went nuts. “Take it off. Take it off. Take it off.”
    Nick jumped up on the bar and grinned down at her. "Let's give them something to talk about."
    She backed way. "I am not taking off my clothes."
    Nick bent, grabbed her wrist and tugged, wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her to him. "You don't have to. We're going to stick to the plan."
    Her body molded into his. What was she thinking this afternoon when she and Nick cooked up this little arrangement? Her body was in full meltdown mode ever since Nick kissed her senseless the first time.
    Nick's erection pressed against her belly. Fear and excitement mixed into an intoxicating concoction in her head. "Nick, I—"
    He cut her off with a tender kiss. "Trust me." He stepped back and unbuttoned his shirt. Every hormone in Maggie's body did the cha-cha.
    The crisp, white material slid over his muscular arms and floated to the floor. The crowd went crazy. Maggie blinked and swallowed. Nick gripped her hand and tugged her toward him.
    Nick nuzzled Maggie's neck and nipped. Shivers wracked her body. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and yanked him into her.
    Maggie wanted to feel every inch of his hard body. He lifted her like she weighed nothing and slipped his hands under her dress again. His lips trailed over her chin and captured her mouth.
    Every cell in her body seemed to burst all at once. Maggie no longer heard the crowd in the background. Not caring that everyone was watching, Maggie dug her fingers into Nick's hair and went for broke.
    He worked his magical hands under the strap of her panties then slid the flimsy silk over her ass and down her legs. Nick's fingers moved farther up her dress. She stiffened, wishing they would wander to lady land. His hands grazed over her ass. Maggie willed away the disappointment settling over her.
    Sliding his palms over her hips, Nick made sure no one could see any of her secret parts. He squeezed her waist. Heat shot through Maggie's body, melting her resolve.
    Maggie maneuvered her feet out of the six-inch platform shoes and shook the underwear free. She wrapped her legs around his waist and let Nick take her for a ride. The man knew how to kiss.
    By the time he set her down, Maggie wanted to beg him to make her come. She'd sat on the precipice of release for so long. A light breeze over her damp clit would've had her calling to the angels.

Chapter Two
     
    Maggie zipped her car around Ava and Logan's cul-de-sac and parked behind Brian's BMW Z4. Her nerves quivered. After last night's show, Maggie didn't know if she'd ruined her chances with him. What chances?
    When Nick finally put her down to rioting cheers after the kiss of all kisses, Brian was nowhere in sight. She flipped down the visor and checked herself. Sighing, Maggie grabbed the cake carrier and opened the door. She forced herself to stroll up the walkway and not look up at the hunk of man on the roof.
    "You finally decided to join us?"
    Maggie's belly flip-flopped and she stumbled. She gazed up at Brian. The rim of the cake carrier cut into her hands and started to press into the frosting she'd spent all morning perfecting. "I was making a cake."
    A look she thought might be longing crossed his sexy face. "I didn't know you could bake?"
    There's a lot
