Chapter 14

Shock stole Sophie's breath. What the devil was Peter doing here? For goodness' sake and in those black leather pants and that silk shirt that made him look like some kind of Hollywood pimp?

Besides, he wasn't a long-lost lover. He was one of Deseree's live-ins, a stripper who'd danced with Sophie and Lucy in the Diva act.

And why had he shown up now, when she and Lance had finally gotten so close to making love?

Speaking of close, she shoved her arms back into the sleeves of Lance's shirt, vaguely cognizant of the fact that he was hastily redressing himself, and that his movements were terse and angry.

"I came about the show, Sophie." Peter's voice echoed with false hurt, but Lance stiffened, obviously believing Peter's act. "But it looks as if my timing is off."

"An understatement," Lance muttered.

Sophie spied his mutinous frown from the corner of her eye. He stuffed his shirt into his jeans in a hurried movement, not bothering to hide the fact that they'd been getting down and dirty. She inched up behind him, conscious that she was wearing a man's shirt, and that her legs and body were bare beneath, bare and still tingling with Lance's loving touches and kisses. Leaving that desire unsated was doing irritating things to her insides, too.

Compared to Peter, Reid and Lucy looked slightly unkempt, a fact that registered milliseconds before Lucy cheerfully offered to make coffee.

"I'm not here for coffee," Lance said in a dark voice, his intense look reminding her that he'd refused the offer earlier and said he wanted something else. That something had been her, and she desperately wanted the entire motley crew to disappear so she could give him what he wanted.

What they both wanted.

"Just exactly whose long-lost lover are you?" Reid asked in a voice that sounded surprisingly territorial.

Sophie caught the unprepared look in Lucy's eyes and they exchanged a silent moment of panic.

Peter's blue eyes twinkled. "Maybe you should ask the Lane girls."

"Lucy's," Sophie said.

"Sophie's," Lucy said at the same time.

The silence that yawned between them reeked of tension and lies. Peter had the audacity to chuckle.

"You both dated him?" Lance asked.

"You shared?" Reid added.

"No!" Sophie and Lucy shouted at once. Lance crossed his arms and glared at her, while Reid tapped his booted foot up and down.

"Actually, neither of us dated him," Sophie said.

The Summers men must have taken her comment the wrong way, because both of their expressions turned lethal. She couldn't blame them. After all, in his black clothing with his shoulder-length hair, shark tattoos, and biker jacket, Peter resembled a porn star.

Lucy jumped in to throw Sophie a lifeline. "It's not what you think, boys, so simmer down."

Sophie could not deal with this right now; nor could she deal with admitting the truth to Lance and watching disappointment darken his face. She had created a name for herself in Savannah, a decent reputation that she intended to keep by burying her past.

She had to in order to fulfill her goals.

"Lance, please try to understand," she implored softly.
