way her hair cascaded over naked breasts, had his erection growing up past the edge of his jeans. Nearly all self-control was lost when she freed him, her hand running over the taut skin, making it pulse under her touch. With her help, he rid himself of his jeans and then yanked hers off, taking her black lace panties with them.
    Bloody hell, she was beautiful. And just like that, he felt his heart slip another notch down that slippery slope of no return. Not that he cared. At that very moment, he’d give her anything she wanted-including his heart.
    Taking a moment to steady himself, he brushed the hair from her eyes, his touch lingering before leaning in to kiss her. “Ye’re mine, Maggie. If we’re to do this, there’s to be no other. Are we clear? I’ll not share ye. Not with Andrew. Not with anyone.”
    She laughed and kissed him again. “Aye, love. I’m yours and no other’s.”

    How Conall managed to get anything done over the next few days was beyond him. He’d been working right alongside Maggie, each of them doing their thing and collaborating when need be. They’d then spend the evening in each other’s company, and their nights tangled in each other’s arms.
    He looked over at her as she tinkered with one of her contraptions, and thought her the most seductive and intelligent creature he’d ever seen. She was unlike any other woman he’d dated-and certainly nothing like Janet who’d broken his heart repeatedly and made him swear off any and all serious relationships. Yet being with Maggie was enough to have him rethinking his stance, suddenly willing to risk heartache if it meant he could be with her.
    It surprised him that he could fall for her so hard and fast. And even more surprising was that he was willing to put his heart on the line. How could he hold back when she gave him everything she had? The girl did nothing in half-measures. Not with her work, and not with her affections. Better yet, with them openly pursuing a relationship, Andrew was finally keeping his distance.
    Conall wasn’t normally the jealous sort but Maggie brought out something fierce and primal in him-not to mention his protective side. And it wasn’t that he didn’t trust her-he did-but he sure as hell didn’t trust Andrew. The man irked him like few others, especially when he’d been so intent on pursuing her.
    With his laptop and equipment slung over his shoulder, he headed out to his car, where it was parked next to Maggie’s bus. He tossed the stuff in the back seat while thinking of their plans for the evening when he spotted her walking towards him. She looked around as if to make sure they were alone, and then leapt into his arms as he spun her around to absorb her momentum, her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck.
    “Where are you sneaking off to?” Maggie’s smile slipped towards the mischievous, her eyes bright with humor. His body’s reaction to having her in his arms was instantaneous, and it took all he had to not press her against the hood of his car and set off his car alarm. “You must know I have plans for ye. All day long, you’ve looked far too enticing.”
    “Enticing, eh?” He had to laugh. She lowered her legs to the ground, though she’d yet to step out of his arms. “Ye’re the only one who could think I’m enticing when I’ve done nothing more than sit in front of a computer screen all day.”
    “And ye’re damn lucky I do, Mr. Stewart. This way we can skip right to the fun stuff, and ye need not woo me.” She flicked her eyebrows up and gave him a seductive look over her shoulder as she wandered to her bus. “Are ye not coming then? It’s not nice to keep a lady waiting.”
    “Maggie…” He grabbed her hand to stop her from going any further. It was an idea he’d been toying with but had dismissed it as too soon. Yet now it felt like perfect timing. “Since it’s Friday, and we have the weekend ahead of us, I thought we might go away for a
