he no longer
needed to.
    Gage thanked heaven for the small mercies. A lot of his
buddies, saddled with families and mortgages, were stuck in one city and hadn’t
been able to pull up roots when they’d been unceremoniously pink-slipped. His
profession was both portable and recession-proof. A radio jock’s salary wasn’t
exactly lucrative, but he’d always gotten by comfortably, thanks to the success
of his on-air alter ego.
    Fitz saw to it that he always stayed on his feet and in rare
form.
    His success was proof that there were two types of women in
the world. There was the type like Ronnie, who were enthralled by the bad-boy
image Gage had cultivated for his radio personality. The other type was highly
unlikely to be amused by his profession.
    Like Sabrina March.
    If he had told her what he did for a living when they first
met, their conversation would have ended shortly after the introductions when
she cast a disdainful glare in his direction. Sebastian failed to mention that
the maid of honor was cute as hell when she got tipsy. Or that unlike Ronnie
and his past assortment of palomino blondes, Sabrina had curiously little guile
when it came to seduction. Considering that she regularly mingled with male
legislators, lobbyists and other Chiefs of Staff, all well-endowed in the
self-assurance department, this had surprised him the most. Gage thought of her
sitting there in the sun in that shapeless dress making her port-induced
confessions and blowing her bangs out of those big brown eyes. She didn’t know
it, but she’d all but dared him to bring it on. Then when he’d leaned in to
kiss her, she’d blinked and gulped like a girl on her first date.
    Yawning, Gage rose from the comfort of the sofa and headed
toward the kitchen to scrounge up whatever leftovers were in the fridge. A
handwritten schedule attached to the door with an X-Men magnet reminded him
that he needed to put in an appearance at a sponsored event at a popular Sixth
Street bar later that night. He needed to gird his loins with a serious power
sleep before he interacted with the masses of rowdy college co-eds sucking down
margaritas laced with Everclear.
    After wolfing down the remnants of a sandwich, he stumbled
to his bedroom and drew the blackout blinds — a requisite for anyone who
worked a reverse schedule. His rumpled tuxedo jacket was still draped over the
bedpost. Some of Sabrina’s perfume had transferred to the collar, and a diffuse
trail of smoke and flowers tantalized his nostrils. 
    There would probably be a little hell enough to pay when
Molly and Sebastian got back from Paris. His ears would be burning as the women
had one of their girl-power confabs, during which Sabrina would no doubt tell
Molly that he’d … what? Gotten her drunk and kissed her silly? Not
that she’d squeeze too much juice from that particular fruit. Sabrina had been
a willing participant.
    She’d kissed him like she’d meant it. Gage couldn’t recall a
single woman who’d ever put that much heart and soul into a first kiss.
Whatever irreconcilable difference put the kibosh on Maid March’s marriage
hadn’t been born in the bedroom, unless she was an incredibly good actress or
her ex-husband couldn’t figure out which end was up.
    Fitz had listened to his fair share of callers complaining
about bumbling, uneducated lovers.
    Gage sank his head into the pillow and chuckled as he
remembered Sabrina’s remark about kicking dirt. Fitz might have put his own
spin on the tale earlier that morning, but Gage had been almost relieved that
she hadn’t wanted him to take things all the way. He had no regrets about their
steamy, starlit make-out session. But opening himself to anything more would
have been courting the one thing he didn’t need in his life right now — complications.
    Because he had discovered something else about Sabrina
March.
    Nothing about her would ever be simple.
