  Male instinct ruled.
  
  While Maria was still recovering from the shock of seeing him, he pulled her
  close and claimed her lips with his own. He savored the spicy taste of her,
  the scent and texture of her hair as he cupped her head, the lush curves of
  her body as he pressed the length of her body to his own.
  
  Nothing mattered but this.
  
  He would have devoured her completely if he could, but the indignant shrieks
  of a nearby woman eventually penetrated his consciousness. At the same time,
  he felt Maria’s hands against his chest, actually pushing him away.
  
  “My Lord!” the older woman cried. “Unhand Lady Maria this instant!”
  
  Nick kept his eyes locked on Maria’s. All he could see reflected in those
  glorious irises was panic.
  
  Her lips were swollen by his kiss, but they were trembling. She took a step
  back—And slapped him…!
