tight.
    â€œNo. I’m going to finish this. It’s my turn to nudge you. I saw you kissing Tracker on the dance floor.”
    Everyone must have seen them. “I…that is, we…”She hadn’t let herself think about the kiss since Mac had led her off the dance floor. When Sophie had started the game, she certainly hadn’t expected it to go as far as it had. She’d forgotten everything—the game, her plan, everything but Tracker. “You must be thinking…”
    â€œI’m thinking it’s about time you made a move on him.”
    Sophie blinked. “Really?”
    â€œSince he’s one of the most self-disciplined and self-contained men I’ve ever met, I think you were wise to take the initiative. I’m dying to know what you did to get him to kiss you.”
    Sophie let out a dry laugh. “Would you believe I asked him to play a game of twenty questions, and the penalty for not answering a question was a kiss?”
    â€œWhat a great idea,” Mac said with delight, reaching for a small notepad on the nightstand. “I don’t think I have an example of that in my research. Twenty questions,” she murmured as she scribbled on the pad.
    â€œYeah, well, you better add a warning that the game is best played in private.”
    Mac glanced up. “He’s that good a kisser, huh?”
    Sophie nodded. “I’m pretty sure some of my brain cells died. I couldn’t even feel my legs when I followed you off of the dance floor. And if Tracker hadn’t all of a sudden ended it, I would have…” A vivid image of exactly what she might have done formed in her mind. “Mac, you might have had an X-rated incident right in the middle of your anniversary party.”
    Mac threw back her head and laughed, and in a moment, Sophie joined her. By the time they could both breathe again, they had settled on the edge of the bed.
    â€œI don’t know why I’m laughing,” Sophie said. “Tracker will probably have disappeared again by the time I get back downstairs.”
    â€œI don’t think so,” Mac said. “There’s something between the two of you. I can see it whenever you’re in the same room together.”
    â€œWell, that doesn’t happen often. He avoids me like the plague. And when he’s forced into my company, he treats me like a kid sister.”
    â€œNot tonight. And he never looks at you like a man looks at his sister. Tracker looks at you like he wants to throw you over his shoulder and carry you off somewhere. And he talks about you, you know.”
    Sophie met Mac’s eyes. “He does?”
    She nodded. “He thinks you’re one of the bravest women he’s ever known. And the smartest.”
    Sophie knew that Tracker was a frequent visitor at Mac and Lucas’s house in Georgetown, but he never visited when she was there.
    â€œI’ve seen the way you look at him, too,” Mac said. “After that kiss, you can’t tell me you’re not interested in him, or that you don’t lust after him, at least.”
    Sophie drew in a deep breath. “To tell you the truth, I’ve been toying with the idea of having an affair with him. But he’s so…intimidating. I think I have a plan—but then he looks at me and my brains cells start to leak. I’m going to need more than a game of twenty questions with penalties.”
    Mac beamed a smile at her as she rose and moved to her dresser. “I have just the thing. In fact, I put some items together as a little first-anniversary gift, bride to maid of honor. I was going to give this to you anyway, since you’ve started dating again. But I’m much more comfortable knowing that you’ll use them on Tracker. He has a weakness for games—especially games of chance.”
    â€œHe does?” Sophie looked curiously at the small bag Mac was lifting off the dresser.
    Nodding, she
