internet.”
    “ Lies?”
The incredulity in her voice rang loud and clear. “I happen to have
a very reliable source, honey ,” she
retorted.
    He didn’t doubt there was someone out there
who was willing to talk, but whether they were reliable was
debatable.
    “ What’s your fucking
problem, McKenna?” Tag asked, feeling the anger roil in his gut. It
didn’t matter that his dick was like an iron fucking rod thanks to
her, or that he was turned on more than he had been in years by one
single woman, he was still pissed.
    “ Problem?” That sweet,
innocent tone of hers wasn’t fooling him in the least. He watched
as she walked over to her chair and then took a seat behind her
desk.
    He didn’t blame her for
wanting to put some distance between them. Whatever spark had
ignited when Tag touched her was roaring into an uncontrollable,
scorching sea of flames that neither of them could get away from,
let alone deny.
    “ Yes. Problem. Can’t you
just leave well enough alone?” he asked, perching on the edge of
the long, leather sofa at the far end of her office.
    “ I happen to know my
readers are very curious about what it is you keep in your closet,”
she laughed, but Tag felt her tension.
    Sexual
tension .
    “ Darlin’, you don’t have
to pretend it’s your readers who want to know. If you’re so
interested, I’ll be more than happy to give you a tour of my
closet.”
    Tag knew her source hadn’t
revealed any such thing, but he wasn’t going to deny that he did
have a few toys on hand. Granted, they weren’t in his closet, or
even at his house. They were at his private room at the club, which
in no way resembled a dungeon.
    If she was willing, and
he’d bet money she was, Tag would be more than happy to show her
where he kept them.
    “ Give me an exclusive,”
McKenna said, standing suddenly from her chair and damn near making
his head spin from the abrupt change of topic.
    “ An exclusive
what?”
    “ I want to do an exclusive
story on Club Destiny. You can give me the tour. It’ll satisfy my
readers, and it will get the crazy lady off your back at the same
time?”
    “ Who? You?” Tag pretended
not to know McKenna was referring to Susan. At the moment, he
wasn’t sure which of them was crazier – Susan for confusing lust
for love, or McKenna for daring to make this personal.
    Either way, he had to
admit, it wasn’t a terrible idea.
    Those inquisitive eyes of
hers raked him up and down, and Tag fought the urge to press her
against the wall one more time. Only this time, he was going to
take what she was offering.
    Tag was hypnotized as he
watched McKenna pace back and forth, speaking out loud, but
obviously not to him. He was mesmerized by the long lines of her
graceful body, the gentle flare of her hips and the perfection of
her ass encased in those expensive jeans. As she moved, her hips
swayed seductively, her long, lustrous red hair hanging board
straight down her back, grazing the waistband of those low slung
jeans.
    He wanted to run his
fingers through her hair, wrap the thick, silk around his fist
before pulling her head back and exploring her mouth with his
tongue.
    “ It’ll work. You’ll give
me a tour of the club, we’ll print – with Luke’s approval, of
course – and my readers will go nuts. Susan won’t have any more
ammunition for the press. We’ll be able to tell people what goes on
behind those doors without revealing a single member.”
    Tag met her eyes when she
stopped abruptly, standing much closer than he expected. For a
brief moment, there was silence in the room; the only sound was
each breath they took, growing more and more labored as they
remained motionless, brought on by whatever chemical reaction that
occurred between them when they were in the same room. A response
so potent, should they give in to it, Tag feared it could very well
rock him to his core.
    Turning away, he stood
once again, and it was now his turn to pace. He certainly liked
where she was
