myself for a long time. I’ll thank you very much. Of course, I get lost everywhere I go, so I guess that makes me have more practice. Yeah that’s it! I really need to find a nice man and settle down. Yeah right! Like I’d let that happen. Men suck!”
    Maddy opened the door to find Kyle standing against the door jamb waiting for her. She moved over to the chair without giving him any indication she’d even seen him and went about putting her shoes back on, which had blood on them too. Brushing away a tear she stood up and walked toward the door he was currently blocking.
    “Move.”
    “I’m taking you home.” Kyle was trying not to laugh at her but at the same time show her he was the man and she should bow down to his superior knowledge. Y eah , he thought, I’m arrogant.
    “Move out of my way.” Maddy said each work like a vow. A vow that said, you either do it or face the consequences. He really wanted to see what she’d do if he pushed her.
    “Are you listening to me? I said I’m taking you home. You’re in no shape to drive and as long as it would probably take you to get there, I could drop you off and be back before you’d get there. Now shut up and get your things and we’ll leave now.” There, now she would understand he meant business.
    When he moved she walked past him without a single word. Moving down the staircase, she paused long enough to look around the beautiful room spread out below her. When she noticed him looking at her she put her nose in the air and moved down again. Instead of going toward the front door where he assumed she was headed, she moved to the right. He thought it was the kitchen. It was the kitchen and Mr. Duncan was there as well, looking up when they entered the room.
    “I would like you to call the police for me. I’m being harassed by this man. He has accused me of running him over–”
    “You did run me over!” Now she had gone too far he thought.

    “Well of course I did. Can you just see it Mr. Duncan? I drove up on the sidewalk. I ran him down, and then I dragged his oversized body out into the street just in time for it to bleed all over the place. Can you just see that, me dragging your big friggin body around? I think not. Mr.
    Duncan, would you please make that call for me?” Her voice was low and cool, belying the steely intent.
    Kyle growled at her. She just turned to look at him with a perfectly shaped raised eyebrow. He’d finally had enough. He took her hand and dragged her out of the kitchen and into the large dining area. When he saw Aaron start to ask him something, he raised his hand to stop him and continued pulling Maddy along behind him. Suddenly she stopped. When he turned to…well that thought didn’t finish as she took that opportunity to punch him in the nose. He jerked back, but didn’t lessen his hold on her hand.
    “ Stop ! Stop right this minute, or so help me I will hit you again. I am not some…some puppy that you can drag to and fro. From the moment you stepped—and I swear you’d better not say a single word, stepped in front of me you have done nothing but torment me, boss me around and lord over me. I am not going to take it from you, do you hear me?”
    “I believe the whole house heard you. Now you will—”
    She screamed. Not one of those, squeaky little shrieks that some women made, no this was a full blown, hair standing on end, ear hurting, piercing scream. When she inhaled to do it again, he did the only thing he could think of. He pulled her to him and kissed her.

Chapter Six
    She stiffened in his arms, her whole body rigid against his. And when he made to pull her in closer, she put her hands on his chest to push him away, her mouth just opening to give him a piece of her mind he was sure. He took advantage and invaded, his tongue sweeping inside of her mouth tasting and taking. Any thought he’d had completely disappeared. She was his. He cupped her face, tilting her slightly so he could dive deeper, taste
