Mason had been resisting the urge to tell Hailey to shut up, but his patience was growing thin.

“I’m pretty sure Adrianne can find her way home with Drew,” Hailey said with a little laugh.

“I don’t care,” he said bluntly. “I’m taking her home. I can see you tomorrow.”

He wouldn’t normally let her get to him, frankly, but he only had a couple more days in Sapphire Falls and he wasn’t sure forty-eight hours was enough to do everything with Adrianne that he wanted to do—even if they didn’t pause for food or sleep. If he closed his eyes right this second, he would be able to conjure every detail of Adrianne’s body, her taste, her smell.

“The project is going to mean so much to the town, Mason. I want to be sure you have all the details.”

Truthfully, Hailey smelled great too. She was the type of woman to smell great. And she was definitely beautiful.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

It was the strangest thing. He’d spent three years of high school believing that she was the essence of the female gender. Now he couldn’t care less. It wasn’t only the fact that she’d been the source of the single worst high school memory he had. It wasn’t about anger or revenge.

It also wasn’t just about Adrianne Scott, though she definitely figured in.

Adrianne was…the only woman he ever wanted to make love to again. And the fact that he’d decided that before making love to her—and within the span of forty-eight hours—was alarming. But he never second-guessed himself.

He didn’t have to. It wasn’t that every single theory he ever had was right or that every factor in everything he did was spot on every time—that was part of science, experimentation, exploration. Trying to get it right was the fun part, the challenge. But eventually his hunches always turned into something. Eventually it all worked out.

Exploring things with Adrianne was going to be a pleasure. For them both.

But this lack of attraction to Hailey was also simple growth.

He’d been out in the world. He’d met other women. He’d had relationships—good and bad. Hailey Conner didn’t do it for him anymore.

“I’m happy to listen, Hailey, but I already told you, I’m not sure it’s the right direction to go.”

And he was giving her one hour. Tops.

“But you don’t—” Hailey started.

“I’ll meet with you tomorrow,” he said firmly.

Hailey didn’t look pleased. It was rare that someone didn’t go along with her, especially a male someone. “Fine. Tomorrow. I’m holding you to that. We’ll do lunch at my house.”

He almost laughed. Hailey Conner was inviting him over to her house. Alone with her. Only the two of them.

She knew that this would feel familiar to him.

The sense of déjà vu was even stronger as he realized that Hailey truly thought this would be like last time, her bedroom, her seductive smile, her slowly undressing…

Good thing he was too damned smart to fall for something like that again. And way too interested in someone else’s bedroom.

“No. I’ll only have time for coffee.
