face to face with Nick again.
    “I picked it up right after you stormed out of here.”
    “Thanks again—” Terrah glared at him. “Stormed?”

Chapter Three
     
     
     
    “ Stormed. ” Nick emphasised the word as Terrah fiddled with her shoulder bag. 
    “Can you just give me my case, please? It’s been a really long day. I’m so tired and hungry…” Terrah shot him a quick look. “That was not an invitation to extend another invitation.”
    Nick chuckled. “I didn’t assume it was…but my invitation still stands.”
    He handed her the case, struck again by how lovely she was. She had the most expressive eyes and it wasn’t hard for him to see the wariness in her level gaze.
    “Before you say no for the second time, I’d like to say again that I am not involved with Jocelyn…or anyone, for that matter. It would make my night if you changed your mind and said yes. Are you really going to say no to sharing a meal with the man who stayed around to guard your makeup?”
    Terrah laughed, and the girlish sound of it made Nick smile.
    “Fine. We’ll go to dinner. It’ll save me from having to wash dishes later.”
    “Great. Let’s go.”
    He couldn’t remember the last time he’d had to work so damn hard to convince a woman to go out with him.
    Eating with him would save her from doing dishes?
    Damn.
    The woman was seriously trying to bruise his ego.
    Terrah lifted her face to his as he held open the door for her with a hesitant smile. His eyes were drawn once again to the tempting fullness of her lips as they curved upward, and that was when he saw it. That tiny flicker of desire flashing in her eyes before she masked it.
    She was attracted to him.
    It was on.
    Nick resisted the unexpected urge to sweep her into his arms as she stepped by him and onto the sidewalk. He could almost envision what it would feel like to kiss her. He’d start off slow, run his tongue along the generous swell of her bottom lip. He wanted to make her wet and hungry for more. He would not stop pursuing her until she craved him .
    “What do you have a taste for?” Nick asked after he cleared his throat.
    “I could go for anything right now.”
    Her innocent statement sent all kinds of erotic images through his head, of the two of them intertwined beneath his sheets. His body overreacted against his will and Nick stuffed one hand into his jeans, hoping to camouflage his semi-erect cock as they walked.
    “All right, I know a great restaurant on Madison Avenue. Do you want to just catch a cab?”
    “Yes! I didn’t wear my comfortable heels.”
    Nick glanced down at her shoes, thinking her non-comfy shoes showcased her killer legs well.
    Terrah pulled on the strap of her shoulder bag. “I wish I could drop off my gear before we go to dinner.”
    “I’m staying in a hotel not far from the restaurant I’d like to take you to. We could drop your stuff off there, if you’d like?” Nick saw the suspicion in her eyes. “We could just leave it at the front desk. You could swing by and grab your case afterwards.”
    “Well…”
    “C’mon, Terrah, I’m not propositioning you for sex.”
    He grabbed her arm as she stumbled.
    “I didn’t say you were.”
    “Your eyes, Terrah… Your eyes say it for you. Let me have this stuff.”
    Nick stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and Terrah followed suit. He slipped his fingers beneath the strap of her shoulder bag, pulled it off her shoulder, placed it on his own and took the makeup case back from her hand.
    “So what’s it going to be? Do you want to lug your gear with us or drop it off?” Nick asked as he hailed a cab.
    “Drop it off.”
    “Good.”
    Nick stepped to the kerb as a yellow taxi pulled up and Terrah moved beside him. He opened her door and wondered what kind of perfume she wore. The damnable sexy scent wafted into his nose and lingered as she got into the car. Nick envisioned what it would be like to kiss Terrah’s thighs as she slid back into her seat and
