can't.” Maggie shuddered against him and her chin wobbled as a lone tear made its way down her cheek. “Don't you see that I can't let him win? I can't let him get his way."
    "Who?” Alex demanded and he didn't care that his voice was rough and hard at the moment. Some other man was causing Maggie's anxiety and he would take care of that immediately. Maggie was his woman now, whether she realised it yet or not. “Who is going to win? What are you talking about Maggie?"
    "He wants me to seduce one of you and marry you. He demanded that I put the company first and do what my duty was.” She looked as if her heart was breaking but she kept his gaze and didn't look away. “I've spent my whole life trying to please him, trying to make him proud. But it was never enough. I was never enough. Because I was a woman. And now I find myself wanting to do this, wanting to be with you. But once again he's the ghost in the room. And I can't. I just can't, Alex."
    "What are you talking about Maggie? Who wants you to seduce one of us and marry us? You're not making any sense.” Alex was totally lost in this conversation except for the fact that she said that she wanted to marry him. Instead of scaring the hell out of him it made his heart beat faster and opened a place in his heart that he hadn't been aware was empty.
    "My father Alex. The man you met today. The man who ordered me from the room before he spoke with you and Patrick. He wants me to seduce you and marry you so that he can have the man he wants take over his company. And no matter what I think I might be feeling for you, I can't do what he wants. I can't.” Maggie was almost crying again and if the shaking of her body was any indication this was taking a lot out of her.
    Alex lay there for a moment holding her close while he waded through what she was saying and where he had met her until everything clicked into place. Then he threw his head back and laughed and laughed. He felt Maggie stiffen up next to him and only squeezed her closer when she tried to pull away. This was sheer perfection.
    "Your father is Dom Alexander Houston.” It was a statement but he looked down at her waiting for the slight nod before he laughed again. “Oh sweetheart, I'm the last man your dad would want you to hook up with. And Patrick would be a close second.” Maggie started to open her mouth, to argue with him probably but he took her mouth with a kiss again. Lord, he couldn't get enough of this woman. “Where did you go when you left the room?"
    "I went to my office and packed my stuff up. I didn't plan to do what he wanted so I emptied my few personal items out of the office and took them out to my car. I'm not going back to the office, to the house, or to him. I'll find a job elsewhere and make a life for myself away from him and everything to do with him.” She had fire in her green eyes and she was making his dick twitch again though he had already had her twice in the last hour and a half.
    "Had you stuck around you would have met the two men that your father was waiting for. I'm sure that both of them were exactly what your dad was planning for you.” He laughed again at the look of confusion on her face. “I don't know why I didn't put it together when I saw you in the office and he called you Margaret. I should have but I seem to have trouble thinking of much of anything around you. Except being inside you, your body, your mind, your very soul."
    "What are you talking about Alex? What other men?” Maggie shook her head but there was no hiding the shining light of hope that shone from her eyes now.
    "When your father found out why we were there he sent us away as soon as he could. On our way out there were two other men there that his secretary was telling that he wasn't seeing anyone else today. She must have confused us with them,” Alex shrugged and grinned down at Maggie. “But then he surely didn't hire her for her secretarial skills."
    Maggie giggled and buried her
