“Hi there!” Jordan plunked down opposite Joe, the homeless guy—though here they called them guests—who Levi had seemed to connect with earlier.

He looked over his shoulder dramatically, then back to her. “Hi yourself.”

“How’s it going today?”

“Better now that I’ve had breakfast.”

“Oh, I brought over a donut.” She pushed the napkin-wrapped pastry forward. “Figured no breakfast can finish right without a little sweet.”

“That’s a good rule.” He took the package and placed it in his pocket. “You friends with Levi?”

Good, he brought it up so she didn’t have to make the awkward segue. “I know him.” Close up, she could see that he was younger than she’d assumed. More like mid-twenties.

“So, I saw you guys talking earlier. Seems like you’re someone he pays attention to around here.”

“Wouldn’t say that. He’s a worrier, is all.”

“He got reason to be?”

He sniffed and sipped his coffee. “Gettin’ colder, so he probably wants to make sure I’ve got my ducks lined up. He knows what—”

“Hey, you guys plotting something?”

Jordan looked up into Levi’s blue eyes, now flashing like a fire engine siren in warning. “Just how to snag more donuts without Warden Lucy watching.”

Joe chuckled. Levi did not.

“Could I have a word?” Levi squeezed her shoulder, giving her no option but to obey. He steered her over to the coffee section. “Whatcha doin’?”

“Just chatting.”

“Jordan …”

“Don’t be so suspicious, Levi. I’m here to help and maybe see what makes you tick.”

“Told you before. I’m an open book.”

She snorted. “Are you kidding? The only time you were open is when you—” She stopped right there, thankyouverymuch.

“When I what?” His eyes lit up in recognition, a smirk teasing his lips. “You think that’s the way into my brain? You think having me explode inside your body will get me to be more responsive to your probing questions? I can guarantee that the path to my mind is not through my dick.”

“Oh, I dunno, you were fairly chatty in the post-coital phase.”

“Is that going in the profile?”

She shook her head, marveling at his ability to be sweet and flirty while uttering such dirty, delicious words. “Trying to keep it separate. Professional.”

“It’s hard, though, right?” He stepped closer, bringing with him a sexy menace she hadn’t realized was missing from her life. “Tell me this is as hard for you as it is for me.”

She peered up at him, taking in his rough-hewn jaw, his sharp cheekbones, his blaze-intense eyes, so blue, so hurting with lust. Desire licked through her, not the sweet tingle of wouldn’t-it-be-nice, but the savage burn of need.

Nodding, she surrendered to the moment and let herself bask in the consensus between them. It felt good to agree on something even if no joy could come of it.

“You’ve been thinking about it? About that night?”

“Of course. Believe me, I don’t have much of a sex life. When I get some half-decent action, it keeps me going for weeks. Months.” She put her hand over her mouth. “Look, that’s not to say I’ve been thinking about you specifically—”

“No?” He stepped in further, imposing but not scaring.
