her mistakes. Only Doug can make her forget the weasel exists. Besides, it’s just this one time.
    What started as not even a one-night stand has Dooley feeling things that he’s never felt before. And that’s outside of the bedroom. Don’t even get him started on what’s happening between the sheets. Why does he have a feeling that, as far as flings go, they’re doing something wrong? Then again, if they’re falling in love, they might just be getting that right.
    Warning: Contains a woman who knows what she wants, a man who knows what he doesn’t want, and a proposition that shows them both that they’ve never really wanted anything like this before.

    “You date a lot?” she asked.
    “Enough.”
    “Lots of regular girls in Omaha?”
    The corner of his mouth curled. “Enough.”
    “How come you haven’t married one of these real regular girls?” she asked, breaking a chip into little pieces.
    His eyebrows shot up. “Marriage isn’t in the plans. I date girls who know that, who feel the same way. I don’t date anyone exclusively, or too many times, for that matter. Things get complicated if you get to know a girl too well and vice versa.”
    “But you do have sex with them?”
    “Of course.”
    She rolled her eyes, irritated by the conversation. Which made no sense. “You just keep things at sex and a few laughs and that’s it?”
    “Right.” He said it more emphatically than was needed.
    Okay, already. She got it. Hell, it was what they were doing—casual, sex, fun, period. He didn’t have to act like she was getting too close for comfort. This was more or less a business arrangement. Even more straightforward than the relationships he apparently had all the time.
    “So,” she said, selecting another chip. “You worried about some performance anxiety or something?”
    He set his glass down hard. “What?”
    “You need to dress me down and take me bowling before we go to bed because that’s what you’re used to? You can’t perform under different circumstances?”
    He narrowed his eyes. “You think I need to see you with your hair down and eating nachos before I can get it up?” He laughed. “Uh, no.”
    “Then what is this? This wanting me to be a regular girl?”
    “Regular girls have more fun. They’re not uptight. They don’t have big business deals nagging at the back of their minds keeping them from focusing on me. They don’t have fancy lingerie so they don’t care if I rip it getting it off of them. They don’t worry about what other people think so they don’t hold back on orgasms the neighbors can hear.”
    She swallowed hard. Having Doug rip her panties off sounded damned appealing. Even if they were expensive. “Is this wisdom based on experience with regular girls or…not-regular ones?”
    Morgan could admit business was never far from her mind. But she wasn’t sure she held back on the orgasms exactly. It was more… Oh hell, she didn’t know. Maybe she did hold back. She had orgasms but she didn’t lose her mind.
    “I’ve been with enough of both to have formed an educated opinion,” he said.
    Of course he had. Why did she keep bringing this subject up?
    “Meaning you’ve pegged me as high maintenance and too much work?”
    “Pretty much,” he admitted. “Life’s short. Best to spend it doing things I love. I’m not going to wait an hour for a woman to fix her hair to go to the grocery store or paint her nails or try on a hundred dresses. The best look for any woman is a rumpled old T-shirt, no panties and her hair in a ponytail.”
    He was talking about all the reasons he didn’t think he’d like being with her and yet she couldn’t help her smile. “You’ve put some real thought into this.”
    He nodded and shoved a chip into his mouth.
    “What are some of these things you love that you want to spend your time doing?”
    They were wrong for each other and that was wonderful. This was a weekend
