For the second time in three weeks, Sarah’s heart beat unsteadily as she knocked on Charlie’s door. Last time her heart had pounded this hard was because she’d desperately needed Charlie to be home, desperately needed him to ease the hurt caused by Sebastian’s rejection.

And he’d done a stand-up job of it. Sarah hadn’t thought about Sebastian since.

This time her heart raced like a runaway train because she was just damn nervous. She had absolutely no idea where she stood with Charlie.

For two weeks they’d been almost joined at the hips. Spent almost every minute from sundown to sunup together.

Then Charlie just stopped visiting, stopped inviting her over. After their talk about the imaginary fire, he hadn’t even insisted she stay the night. If anything, he’d been all too quick to help her dress and see her to the door.

She hadn’t seen him since. Not even for a booty call. She’d glimpsed him from afar, but that was it.

And damn it, she missed him. Ached for him. But insecurity and uncertainty had prevented her from contacting him. For eighteen months they’d had an easy sexual relationship. Satisfied each other physically whenever the need arose then went home.

For two weeks they’d had more. Much more.

And now…nothing.

Sarah had never been unsure about her and Charlie’s relationship. Never feared knocking on his door before. But tonight, well, damn it, her palms were all sweaty and her breath kept jamming in her chest.

It was time to talk about what was going on between them. Time to question what those two weeks had been all about. Because Sarah had liked them. Really, really liked them. Now that she’d had a taste of life with Charlie, she didn’t want to go back to the every-now-and-again booty call.

But when he opened the door, his face a neutral mask, Sarah had no idea how to broach the subject. No idea what to say to him. He looked neither excited nor unhappy to see her. He didn’t rip off his clothes the second she stepped inside, but he didn’t tell her he had company either.

It was his complete impartiality that ripped her courage away. The second she sat on his couch—fully clothed—she lost every word she’d planned to use to express her confusion and to tell him how bloody much she missed him. “Char?”

“Yeah?”

Talk to him, Sarah. This is Charlie. You can say anything. Ask him anything. “I’m over the bet. Can we just call it quits?”

Yeah, not what you meant to say, now is it?

He sat on the other couch, wearing as many clothes as she, which flummoxed her. She and Charlie didn’t sit passively on couches. Not if they hadn’t fucked like bunnies yet.

Bewilderment reigned supreme.

“What? No. You can’t be over it. You haven’t met the third guy yet. Sam.”

“I don’t wanna meet the third guy. I just want to stop the bet.” That wasn’t a lie. It just wasn’t top on her list of priorities to discuss this evening.

“You have to meet him,” Charlie insisted. “He’s a doctor.
