Received this book for an honest review.The second of six short books.We continue with Mac and Matt going to Chicago for depositions. Business only. They both agreed.....again......they can't continue their sexual liaisons.After the first round of depositions they are in the hotel bar having drinks with several of the other attorneys involved with the same case. One of the men who is quite drunk gropes Mac and she is about to deck him when Matt shoves him causing him to fall. Matt pulls him up by his collar and insures him he will be in his room the next morning to finish what Matt started tonight. Matt then proceeds to take Mac to her room. Only to join her. He is tired of fighting this attraction. Tired of thinking about Mac and not being able to do anything. They both want it. It's only sex. Two full nights of just sex.Upon returning from their trip to Chicago, Matt has to leave again for Atlanta. Mac is desperately trying to keep her emotions out of the equation, but can't quite keep her feelings separated. When Matt shows up at her apartment from Atlanta unannounced, he wants one thing....sex. The next morning he leaves without an explanation for the rest of his weekend other than he is "busy" and leaves Mac feeling used.Mac spends her day in hype law library doing research for Lorraine and trying not to think of Matt. While she is making copies, Cal walks up and starts a conversation. They end up going for coffee and enjoying each other's company.When Monday rolls around Mac is extremely busy and before she knows it it's time to go home. She stops by Lorraine's office to see if she needs anything before Mac goes home. Lorraine begins to primp and flaunt the fact that Matt asked her to diner tonight. Mac is extremely hurt by this. Mac is good enough for a romp in the hay but not good enough for dinner. On her way to the elevators she sees Matt talking to Cal. Cal sees her and comes to ask her out to lunch. Matt is furious. Drags Mac by her elbow into his office and tells her to stay away from Cal. Mac tries to tell him that he can't dictate whom she sees. She even tries to give him a stipulation....don't go to dinner with Lorraine. He is going to dinner with Lorraine.Mac says she is done. If he wants her to quit she will and walks out of his office leaving Matt stunned.Will Matt wake up and realize what he is missing letting Mac walk away ? Will Mac realize she needs Matt ?
