information?”
    Dade growled. “God damn it. He didn’t say anything.”
    “Fine, whatever.” She turned to walk away.
    Dade wasn’t going to let it end like this so he grabbed her arm and pulled her back blocking her exit. “I didn’t like the way he was trying to get touchy-feely with you, so I wanted to make sure he knew to stay the fuck away.”
    He waited for her to respond. She had to have something to say. When she didn’t Dade lost it. He grabbed her by the shoulders and leaned into her space.
    “I’m sorry.” His tone was soft, but rough with the emotion he was trying to hold back.
    Rosie blinked a few times then leaned in and pressed her lips to his. Dade pulled her against him as her lips parted under his. Their tongues darted and stroked each other in an insane game of tag. She put her hands on his chest and he thought for sure that she was going to shove him away. Instead she pushed him against the wall. Dade’s hands went from her arms to her hips. The silky thin material of her dress only encouraged him to slide his hands to her ass. She made a sexy moaning noise against his lips and his dick reacted hardening even more than it already had. Dade let her have control of the kiss, because every time he tried to move in more she’d start to pull back.
    The door opened behind them, but neither of them noticed until they heard the loud gasp and the slam that followed. Rosie lurched away from him. She covered her face with her hands and shook her head.
    “That was… Dade…” She lowered her hands and looked at him. “I just can’t deal with this right now.”
    “I understand.” And he did, because now wasn’t the time to figure out what the hell had just happened. “Should I leave?”
    “No. You need to go out there and pretend like nothing’s wrong. We both do.” She sighed. “You go first I’m going to duck into the ladies room. I’ll be out in a minute.”
    Dade nodded and started for the door. He wasn’t a very good actor, but he hoped he could pull this off. If not, at least he could have a word with Walt.
    “Dade,” He stopped with his hand on the door knob and she said, “Do me a favor and stay away from Walt.”
    Shit! Could she read his mind? He nodded. The night had taken a serious nose dive. But she had kissed him, even though it had been in a moment of insanity. They were going to talk about it at some point, and hopefully try it again. It seemed his plan to keep his distance had been blown to smithereens.

    Her phone rang again and Rosie knew she couldn’t ignore it any longer. She slid her hand out of the blanket and snatched it off the night stand.
    “Hello.” Her tone was clipped and most people probably would have hung up.
    “Morning sunshine.” Nicolette sounded way too cheerful.
    “What are you trying to get out of?” Rosie kind of hoped that she needed her so she’d have an excuse to get the hell out of there without seeing Dade.
    “Nothing.” Nicolette laughed.
    “Really? Then what’s up?” Rosie asked as she pulled her spare pillow into her arms.
    “I drew the lucky straw to call and see how things went last night after you left.” She knew one of them would be calling, but figured it wouldn’t be until later in the day.
    Rosie felt her face heat just thinking about it. “They didn’t.”
    “What happened? Did he just take off or something? Should I call my cousin Mario to go have a talk with him? He can be there in twenty minutes.” Her concern was touching, but totally unnecessary.
    “Thanks for the offer, but there’s no need.” She sighed not wanting to talk about this with anyone yet.
    “Are you sure?” Nicolette didn’t sound convinced.
    “Yes. Dade was a gentleman. I was the one—”
    “You hit on him again?”
    “No— Jeez I lose it once.” That her friends knew of, Rosie shook her head. “Dade wanted to talk about what happened, but I asked him to give me some time. He stopped asking if I was okay, but I
