retrieved her hand and answered the call.
As if the day couldn t get worse.
Hello, Mother.
Jordan, darling. Jordan rolled her eyes at her mother s sickly sweet greeting. I ve just heard about
the break-in last night. Are you willing to stop playing your little game and come home now? Can t you see
how dangerous it is?
Jordan sat up. And just how did you hear about it, Mother? She hadn t had a chance to tell a soul
yet.
Don t be silly. Jeff, of course.
Jordan ground her teeth. And how would Jeff know? She hadn t seen her shadow, Jeff, since she d
flown the coop. Jordan assumed he d been assigned some other menial job.
You didn t honestly think I would let you run off to live in squalor, now did you? He s been
watching you all along. Until now there s been no reason to interfere, but bringing home some vagrant
from a bar? Jordan, really. I brought you up better than to let some common gold digger get his hands on
your money. I had to do something.
Oh. My. God. So you had someone fucking break into my place? Jordan wanted to scream. And
considering it wouldn t be very nice to kill the woman, what she really wanted to do was take a few whacks
at a punching bag. Not even Dirk Clement had made her see this particular shade of red. You ve been
spying on me.
Don t you dare speak to me with such vulgarity. And yes. Someone had to stop you from
squandering your life away.
Max put a calming hand on Jordan s thigh. Her cheeks heated because she had no doubt Max had
heard every single word out of her mother s mouth.
You know nothing about my life. If I want to squander every penny in my account, I ll do just that.
You also know nothing about the vagrant I brought home to have wild monkey sex with all night long.
Her mother gasped and Jordan smiled, knowing she d hit a homerun with the remark.
Max is no vagrant, Mother. He is Kara Patterson-Jensen s son, if you must know, and even if he
were a window washer you would still have no say in what or how many ways I do him.
Jordan Grace Landon.
Jordan envisioned her mother s shocked face and kept at it. He s the black sheep of his family too,
like I am. We re a perfect pair. And& we love each other, she shouted.
Max s hand squeezed hers. She hoped he understood she was only playing it up for her mother s sake.
And from now on you can keep your flunky security men at home with you because Max happens to
be one. He s the one I am entrusting my body to.

I will have you cut out of any inheritance you might be thinking is yours if you don t stop speaking
to me with such disgrace right this second.
Jordan sighed. It had not been her intention to lambaste her mother, but this time the woman had
stepped over the line in sending someone to burglarize her home in the hopes of scaring her straight.
I m sorry, Mother, but you ve gone too far with this stunt. If you want to disown me, fine. I m not
sure Daddy will be too happy, but fine. I don t want a dime. I want to own my own studio and teach kids to
dance. I want to marry the man of my choice and have babies who aren t born thinking money can buy
them everything. I want to live my own life and not have you tell me who I should marry for the sake of
your appearance. I m going to hang up now, Mother.
She did, pressing the end button on her mother s shriek. Then she powered off the phone.
Wow.
Jordan sank back into her seat. It took her several seconds to realize she d pulled to the side of the
road and the car sat idling still within sight of Clement s estate. Her cheeks heated at what Max had
overheard.
So shall we just get right to the babies since we ve already had unprotected sex or do you think we
should get married first?
Jordan choked on her spit. Max pounded on her back.
Sheesh. Don t say things like that unless you mean them.
Who says I don t?
She stared at the crazy man. Are you serious?
As a heart attack, kamikaze.
She must have looked completely confounded because Max laughed and cupped a hand behind her
neck. He urged her closer and kissed the tip of her nose before murmuring to her, I just have a few
stipulations.
A few?
Yep. The bike has to go or you really will give me a heart attack.
Not a chance, bucko.
He growled against her lips. You have to let me finance your studio or we ll be old and gray by the
time you get it up and running.
I can think on that one.
Pole dancing is for my benefit only.
Hey. She poked him in the ribs, making him grunt. It s good exercise. And the way we go at it, I ll
need all the help I can get.
And last but not least, seeing as you re so good at it, would you please make a call to my mother too
and tell her how it s going to be?

Now that I can handle. She melted her lips on his and kissed him until they were both out of breath.
