I couldn’t believe it – how was I actually functioning? My heart was pounding and my palms were so sweaty that I had to keep wiping them on my dress. It wasn’t that I had forgotten how handsome Elliot was, but seeing him again only made me realize just how disarmed I felt being in his presence.

He looked exactly the same. His thick, wavy dark brown hair was brushed back from his forehead. The touches of silver at his temples had grown slightly more noticeable, but in the way that made me want to run my hands through his hair. His emerald eyes still sparkled when his gaze traveled up and down my body.

And my mouth still went dry, just from locking eyes with him.

“So,” I said, trying to pretend like my heart wasn’t in my throat. “What have you been doing with yourself over the last five years?”

Inwardly, I cringed. The question sounded both studied and pretentious, like I’d been rehearsing for the very moment I’d see him again.

But Elliot didn’t laugh, or sneer. He raised an eyebrow at me. “Keeping busy, mostly,” he said in a low voice. “And you?”

I bit my lip so hard that I tasted blood. He’s fucking with me, I thought. He saw Lilah, and he has to know that she’s his ... anyone with half a brain would put two and two together. Their eyes are exactly the same, for goodness sake!

“Um, same, mostly,” I said, raising my eyes to his. When our gazes met, a shiver ran down my spine and I felt myself starting to get wet. Inside my panties, my clit throbbed and pulsed. I felt like a woman again, like a real woman.

I hadn’t felt this way in years and until that moment, I hadn’t realized just how much I missed feeling desire, lust, and excitement.

Elliot chuckled. “I bet,” he said. “I’m so sorry to hear about your father,” he said. “I can’t imagine how crushing a blow that was.”

I nodded. “It’s been hard,” I said. “One day, things feel normal and I don’t think about him all that much. And then other days ... other days, it’s like everything reminds me of him. Even things that have nothing to do with him, you know?” I paused, feeling self-conscious for having rambled on. “Is that stupid?”

Elliot gave a swift shake of his head. “No,” he said. “Not stupid at all.”

There was a moment of tense silence between us. My insides were fluttery and churning with anxiety and arousal, mingling together into a strange new emotion that I’d never felt before. It could have been because of the stress I’d been under, or the grief, or maybe even something stronger than that, but suddenly I wanted Elliot so bad that I could hardly stand it. My blood was running hot through my veins and I held my breath as my body trembled with the strongest, most intense lust that I’d ever felt in my life.

“What about her father?” Elliot asked quietly.
