“Oh, come on, drop the act already, babe. I’m onto you.
    You’re a flyboy groupie.” He shrugged. “You may be foreign, but you’re like all the others.”
    Anger surged through Cassandra. How dare he speak to her this way! She’d done nothing wrong. She
    stood as fury gathered around her. Her eyes stung as tears welled and she forced the drops away. “You
    listen to me, Buzz Rittner. I know not of other astronauts. I did nothing to you, other than offer you my
    body, my heart. If you’re too pig-headed to understand that, well…then that’s your problem.”
    Cassandra gathered the blanket around her and swept into the room like a queen dismissing her subjects.
    She’d had enough of his arrogance, his mean-spirited words, and his male stubbornness. If he would only
    listen to his heart, he’d know she was telling the truth. She plopped down on the bed and bundled under
    the covers. Cassandra purposely turned away from the shadowed figure standing on the balcony. Right
    now, she was too angry to look at him.
    * * * * *
    Buzz gripped the railing of the balcony, his muscles tense from the surge of anger still simmering just
    below the surface. He didn’t even know this woman. She shouldn’t be getting to him like this. What in
    the hell had he been thinking? He knew better than to hook up with a groupie. They’d fucked a couple of
    times, so what! The act didn’t exactly constitute a commitment.
    Keep it together, buddy. His gut clenched, telling him it was too late for that.
    He didn’t know why he’d snapped at Cassandra. Had he thought she was rubbing in the fact he’d never
    be able to experience space travel again? His radiation poisoning wasn’t exactly common knowledge
    outside of NASA.
    He released the breath he hadn’t known he’d been holding. All that was certain was he’d taken out all
    the frustration and pain he’d been feeling over the past few years and directed it right at Cassandra, and
    she hadn’t done anything wrong.
    A curse slipped from his lips as he leaned over the balcony and inhaled the fresh sea air. He ran a shaky
    hand over his face and through his short hair. He was in trouble—big trouble. Four days of fabulous sex
    had managed to turn him inside out and upside down. He didn’t know whether he was coming or going
    and it was all Cassandra’s fault.
    She’d opened herself up to him body and soul, wrapping those long legs of hers around his waist, taking
    his cock repeatedly into her channel. Just thinking about it had him growing hard.
    But, it was more than that, there was more to the woman. Somewhere in the midst of their tumbles,
    they’d gone from having sex to making love. During that time, she’d managed to wedge the door to his
    heart open and he had no idea how to get it closed.

CHAPTER FOUR
    Cassandra awoke with her body on fire. Where was she? What was happening? Her lids fluttered open
    as she glanced down at the source of her pleasurable discomfort. Buzz’s head lay buried between her
    thighs, his tongue fucking her slowly, in and out. Her legs trembled and threatened to close. As if
    anticipating the move, he grasped her thighs and held them open. Cassandra groaned as her head
    dropped back onto the pillows.
    Mad one minute, a lover the next, she had no idea what to make of this man. She wanted to scream at
    him, rail against his stubbornness, but she couldn’t. He held her in thrall, his fist firmly wrapped around
    her heart, as he attacked her cunt with a vengeance.
    Hungry little noises emanated from Buzz’s throat, telling her without words he enjoyed his task. Her gaze
    narrowed in on his face, holding his gray-green eyes. The pressure inside her built as he gently tugged at
    her clit, flicking it with the tip of his tongue. Cassandra shattered, her breath breaking in short gasps as
    pleasure exploded, traveling to the far reaches of her body and back again.
    He gave her pussy one last lick before looking up. “I take it you like that.” It
