So this is what it feels like to get dumped by a rebound.

Hayley prowled her apartment, glaring at everything.

It felt crappy. Sucky. Embarrassing.

She sighed, dropping her stare to Baz’s note in her hand. What had she expected? A marriage proposal? A commitment ring? A foot massage? Dinner?

Heya Gorgeous. I gotta go.

Gotta go. Huh. “Gotta get away from me, more like it,” she muttered, crumpling the note for the umpteenth time since finding it on the refrigerator door thirty minutes ago.

Damn, why did this hurt so much? It wasn’t as if they were a couple, a thing. They’d only ever planned to be a four-night stand.

“He robbed me of three nights,” she grumbled, slumping into the nearest armchair.

She rubbed at her elbows, frowning at her toes. Baz had sucked on those toes. Had sucked on her big one, making her laugh, before drawing lazy, tickling circles over her sole as he nibbled on her ankle, her calf, the back of her knee…

“Goddamn it, what am I doing?” She threw herself from the armchair, shutting down the memory of where his nibbling lips had ended up.

Her pussy throbbed, all too happy, all too eager to remember. Lips and tongue and teeth and fingers…

“Jesus.” She stomped across the room to the small, uncluttered desk under the window she used as a home office, and opened her laptop. Work. She’d do some work. Answer some emails, look at what had happened in Baltimore over the last twenty-four hours, outline possible articles of interest for her editor. Work. Forget about the three nights of incredible freaking sex Baz freaking Kerrigan robbed her of, forget about the…the…connection—damn, that word was a cliché, but the only word she could think of—they’d had. A powerful connection, one she’d never experienced before.

Work. That’s what she would do. Work and forget about him. Him and his stupid accent and stupid tattoo and stupid body, and stupid—

The noise of a camera rapidly clicking over and over sounded behind her.

Hayley turned from her laptop to frown at where her smartphone sat in its dock in the kitchen, screen flashing with an incoming message. Natalie was texting her.

A hot lump filled her throat.

Stop being ridiculous. It’s not Natalie’s fault Baz has gone. She’s still in Washington.

Berating herself for being so lame, she hurried into the kitchen and plucked her smartphone from its dock.

Hey Hales. I’m back in town for the day. Will be returning to Washington tonight, so thought we could catch up. Join me for lunch. I’m in the pub right now, so get your ass down here. I’m not taking no for an answer. Whatever you think you’re doing, it’s not as important as seeing your cousin. Xoxox Nat.

Hayley chewed on her bottom lip. Natalie was in Baltimore? Was that why Baz had left? Had he already given her Ansel Adams’ camera? Was he already on his way to Vegas?

Camera clicks filled the air again as her phone vibrated in her hand.

She read the new message from her cousin.

Stop pretending you’re not around.
