feet. She looked down at the stilettos. The straps make my ankles look nice and trim . She reached beneath the short skirt and pulled off her thong. Stepping out of it, she left the scrap of fabric lying on the floor and headed to the sitting room. She stopped in the doorway and her eyes found him.
    “Mace?”
    He sat on the couch, fully dressed, elbows resting on his knees, his face in his hands. “Yeah?” He didn’t look up.
    “One night. Whatever you want, whatever I want. One night. No obligation. No commitment. No ties and no recriminations. No talk about the future.”
    Mace lifted his head. His blue eyes burned into her and she was tempted to run back to the safety of the bedroom. “Is that what you really want, Maggie?”
    Stand your ground . “Yes, it’s what I really want.”
    With a fluid movement that seemed both lazy and dangerous, Mace rose to his feet. He approached her, nostrils flaring, reminding her of a panther stalking his prey. Maggie put her back to the wall and stopped her legs from trembling. She’d made the offer. Mace stood mere inches from her, just looking, not touching. She knew she could bolt, but she also knew he could stop her with one hand. She tossed her head back and stared at him, challenging him. Take me, I dare you.
    Still not touching, Mace placed a hand on the wall on either side of her head. “Anything I want?” His voice sounded low, throaty. “No recriminations?”
    “Yes.”
    “Then turn around and face the wall.”
    Maggie shivered. She tried to read his thoughts, but Mace kept his eyes veiled. She licked her lips and did as she was told. She felt a hand on the side of her head and Mace turned her face, pressing her cheek to the wall. His breath tickled her ear, warm and soft, and then his mouth was gone. The hand moved and his fingers traced a gentle path across her shoulder and down her back, finally settling on the zipper of her dress. His movements slow, tortuously slow, he drew it down, his free palm trailing along her exposed skin, leaving goose bumps in its wake. His fingers caressed the small of her back. One finger slipped lower, into the cleft between her buttocks, and she sucked in a breath, her body growing hot all over. She arched her back against his hand and he stopped her.
    He pressed his palm to the small of her back, gently but firmly forcing her stomach against the wall. “You don’t move until I say.” His voice was nothing more than a soft growl.
    Oh. My. God . Maggie’s knees felt weak. He’s barely touched me and I’ve never been more turned on in my life. Maybe this is a bad idea.
    His hands slid up and stopped beneath the straps of her dress. He pushed the scant fabric from her shoulders and down her arms. The dress fell, baring her to the waist. Maggie heard the pace of his breathing increase. She wanted to back against him, to feel the size of him. She remembered what she’d felt before, beneath his jeans, when she’d fallen into his lap and he’d stared at her exposed breasts. I want to feel him again .
    “Lift your arms.”
    “Wha…what?”
    He didn’t bother to repeat the words. He simply lifted her arms over her head and placed her palms flat against the wall. His hands never left her. He slid them down the length of her arms, the pads of his fingers trailing cool fire in their wake. His hands stopped at her breasts. Maggie sensed he wanted to touch her nipples. She could feel the tension pulsing throughout his body, even though only his hands touched her. She tried to move away from the wall, to give him access.
    “No. Stand still.”
    “Please…”
    “No.”
    “Mace, please.”
    “Maggie, hush.”
    His lips brushed her bare shoulder as his hands caressed the sides of her breast. A sob escaped her. Her body was warm and wet and willing. He’ll make me beg. Oh god, he’ll make me beg and I’ll do it. I’ll do whatever he wants me to do.
    “I want to see your ass,” Mace growled, fingering the twin dimples just
