Annette Broadrick - Too Tough To Tame

As her body was pressed against him, Kelly realized he was fully aroused. He wanted her—that was obvious. Or maybe his reaction was strictly physical. Perhaps this happened with every woman with whom he danced. She drew back slightly so that she was not in such intimate contact.

Moving in Nick’s arms in time to the music seemed to be the most natural thing in the world. Kelly felt drugged…seduced by the music and the man. She tried to work up her usual antagonism against him but for now it had disappeared.

When the music ended, Kelly needed a moment to come back to the here-and-now. Nick seemed to have the same problem as he reluctantly released her.

Kelly made the mistake of looking at him and saw the heated expression in his eyes. She could feel herself flush and knew her fair skin betrayed her agitation.

He lifted her hand and brushed his lips across her knuckles. “Thank you for dancing with me,” he said quietly.

She couldn’t seem to look away from him. In an uneven tone she replied, “You’re a wonderful dancer.” Kelly waited for a look of satisfaction to appear on his face at her words. Instead, he gave her hand a soft squeeze and led her back to her table.

Will was also returning to the table and saw them. “I hate to call this short, but I need—”

“Of course,” she rushed in to say. “It’s getting late and I should get home as well.”

With a brief nod to Nick, Will encircled her shoulders and crossed the room, heading for the door.

Nick watched them go, feeling as though something had been ripped out of his heart when she disappeared from his view. Now there was a joke. There were many people who would swear he had no heart.

He’d always agreed with them.

Until now.
