always work."
"Yeah," Catherine said, "except when they don't. And Nick? I want you to promise on a stack of Bibles
that you'll never tell him how I feel. This has got to be Luke's idea. He has to make the first move."
"This is woman's logic, right? Chase him until he catches you?"
"Basically. Just promise you won't tell. Never. Do you swear?"
"Constantly."
"Nick!"
He crossed his chest in the vicinity of his heart. "I swear I'll never tell Luke how you feel about him."
"Say that so I can believe it. Because I swear to you, Nicolas Stratton, if Luke gets a hint that he's the
one I'm trying to catch before I'm ready to tell him, I'll & I'll tell him about you and Babsie."
"That was in twelfth grade."
"Want to bet he won't still be mad?"
"I give you 'my word," he said with utmost sincerity.

"Good enough." She squinted at the dash clock. "He's probably sleeping, and we're sitting here like
idiots in the dead of night, freezing in the car."
"We could've gone for coffee."
"Nick, you're a lunatic, and I adore you. But if I drink one more cup of anything, I'll float away. Please,
can I go home now?"

"What are you doing?" Catherine cried as Nick picked her up in his arms. The elevator pinged as it
stopped on the twenty-second floor. "Nick, you're going to give yourself a hernia carrying me." The
doors slid open. He staggered playfully as he strode down the corridor leading to Luke's condo.
"Put your head on my shoulder, your arms around my neck and close your eyes," Nick said softly. "I'm
going to give you the opportunity to be a fly on the wall. Hmm, interesting. The front door's wide open."
Catherine looped her arms about his neck and snuggled against Nick's chest. A nice chest.
Unfortunately, not Luke's chest.
"Where've you been?"
Ooh. Luke's dragon roar. Catherine kept her eyes closed, her features lax. She imagined flames spewing
from his nostrils. This was a good sign. Nick's plan might just work.
"Hey, old son," Nick whispered. "Princess here is sleeping. Lower your tone to a dull bellow, why
don'tcha?"
"Why is Cat sleeping?" Luke demanded, with deep suspicion. She could feel the blistering heat of his
gaze focused on her.
"You said you wanted to introduce her to some of our & well, let's just say we did a little par-tay-ing."
"I told you to bring her straight home."
"We came straight back."
"ViaHong Kong?"
"We stopped for a bite to eat. Then she wanted a look at my boat."
"For six hours?"
"Gorgeous day for a sail. Look, she's kinda heavy," Nick said over her head. "Mind if I & oh okay,
fine, if you want to stand there bitching at me whileyou get the hernia, that's cool."
Luke's arms tightened around her. Bliss. Catherine's head found the natural and perfect hollow beneath
his chin. As long as he didn't get that promised hernia, she was content to lie in his arms and enjoy the
moment

"Poor Princess, she needed the break. The last few months have been tough on her."
"She talked to you?" Catherine heard deep suspicion in Luke's voice. His fingers tightened on her upper
thigh. "Catherine Harris the clam, the little crab?"
"It's not a state secret, is it?" Nick asked. "Hey, it's great standing here at one-thirty in the morning, in
your open doorway shooting the breeze, a comatose woman between us, but how about a drink?"
"I'm only holding her so I don't rearrange that smarmy, pretty-boy face of yours," Luke snarled. "Next
time I tell you to bring her right home, you'd better bring her & no, forget it. You keep your grubby
paws away from her."
Don't get overexcited,Catherine warned herself as her heart did a little somersault. What she hoped
sounded like jealousy might just be Luke in his defensive big-brother mode. But at this point, she'd
consider the glass half full.
"Hey, chill. What's your problem? She's over twenty-one and single. You aren't her father."
"No," Luke said grimly over her head. "I'm her brother."
"You aren't that, either," Nick said softly. "Are you, old son?"
