His heart bounced from side to side in his chest like it couldn't make up its mind which way to go. And then her soft hand cupped his cheek and his heart stopped beating altogether. His entire being was focused on Hayden.

Every minute detail about her. Her heart-shaped face, her rosy lips that formed a slight bow, her turquoise eyes. And after spending all of this time of trying to forget about her, he couldn't remember why.

And now she wanted to talk to him about another man? He could handle being a martyr, but he wasn't a damn saint. "So you’re not still friends with this guy?"

Who was she talking about? The frat boy? Malik? It had to be one of them. Surely she wasn't crushing on someone else altogether.

"I thought we were, but something changed. Last night."

His world imploded around him. Last night? She'd been with those two last night, so she had to be talking about one of them. He should be happy if it was frat boy. Elated. But he felt hollow and empty instead. "What changed?"

Jesus Christ, was that his voice? It sounded like he'd swallowed a tin can of rusty nails.

"Him. He did something I wasn't expecting and I didn't know how to handle it."

Like picking her up and twirling her around in a circle. Or kissing the back of her hand. Just the thought, let alone the image, of Malik's mouth on her hand made him nauseous. If the man truly was a member of a sleeper cell, she had been so close to danger...

"He called to check on me, and I didn't know how to take it. But I do now." Hayden took his hand. "You remember how we used to make out on the couch?" His mind went blank.

She drew him back to the worn leather sofa, and he was helpless to do anything but follow her.

He sank into the cushions and she pushed him back, kind of falling on top of him. He was surrounded by her scent, a mixture of a bright spring day and vanilla. Hoyt knew he shouldn't, but he inhaled deep, taking in everything he could.

"I do,” she continued. “I remember how hot it was. And how much I wanted you." She paused and Hoyt closed his eyes, her nearness overwhelming his senses. "How much I still want you."

Hoyt remembered, he remembered that look of pure adoration she used to give him. He opened his eyes. That same look was on her face.

"I'm going to kiss you now."

Hoyt realized she was straddling him and somehow he was palming her ass. Her perfect, beautiful ass. And then her lips were touching his, whisper soft, and his brain short-circuited. He couldn't close his eyes and he couldn't move, so he held real still and let her take control.

Up close, he noticed the gentle arch in her blonde eyebrows and how they seem to match every other gentle curve in her body.

And then she leaned back, her smile full of self- satisfaction.
