  “Well…thanks for letting me know.” Melody stood up straighter, refusing to show how much his words hurt. “I wouldn’t want you to do anything that didn’t feel right.”

  Without another word, she grabbed Kitty by the arm and headed for the door as fast as her aching feet would carry her. She didn’t look back to see if Nick was watching, or deliver any parting shots, but inside her a storm was brewing.

  She was going to show Nick she wasn’t a child, or some fluffy blond bunny that needed to be handled with care, or someone generally too boring and traditional to be worthy of his interest. She was going to show him that there were parts of her he hadn’t taken the time to see, new, adventurous, unexpected parts that would make Nick as wild for her as she was for him.

  He had to feel the same pull she felt—the kiss they’d shared had been hot enough to set fire to a glass of sweet tea.

  Melody had never felt like that before. Nick had awoken a new curiosity inside her, and she would be darned if she’d give up before she found out if her and Nick’s second kiss would be as hot as their first.

  “I’m sorry,” Kitty whispered as they moved down the sidewalk, away from the shop. “I’m all about going a little wild, I just didn’t want you to do something you might really regret after the tequila wore off. A hangover you can sleep off, a tattoo…not so much.”

  Melody smiled. “No worries. But you know, I don’t think I’m in the mood for the tequila to wear off. Why don’t we go check out The Horse and Rider, have a beer or two, and call a cab when we’re done?”

  Kitty’s eyes widened, but her lips stretched into a delighted grin. “I don’t have to work tomorrow. Let’s do it, wild woman.”

  Melody and Kitty giggled as they dashed across the street.

  At least someone was enjoying Melody’s wild side. With a little luck it wouldn’t be long before Nick came around to Kitty’s way of thinking.
