She snorted. “I’ll admit no such thing.”

“Not now, maybe. But someday you will.” He grinned up at the sky. “Tell me something about Jupiter. I need a quick refresher.”

“Hmm.” She was smiling. She couldn’t help it. “Let’s see…Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and by far the largest planet in the solar system. It also has the shortest day. One day on Jupiter only takes about ten hours—meaning, that’s how long it takes for Jupiter to rotate or spin around once. It’s surrounded by seventy-nine known moons.” She grinned. “One of those moons—Amalthea—is shaped like a hockey puck.”

“Yeah? A hockey puck?” Logan playfully bumped his shoulder against hers. “See? That’s another reason Jupiter is my favorite planet.”

She smiled at him, her skin tingling where he’d made contact. When he winked at her, she pushed off the tree to stand in front of him, figuring that might be safer.

He stared back at her with hooded eyes.

Okay, maybe not so safe after all, she thought, licking her dry lips.

His eyes flickered to her mouth and lingered.

She found herself returning the favor. The lush fullness of his lips had her thinking about sex. Hot, forbidden, mind-scrambling sex.

She glanced away and cleared her throat, tucking her hair behind her ear. “Um, before I forget, Ana’s sister has a crush on you.”

Logan let out a throaty laugh.

She frowned at him. “What’s so funny?”

“Aww,” he teased. “Look at you playing matchmaker. How cute.”

She bristled a little. “I told Ana I’d tell you about her sister.”

“You really don’t have—”

“Her name is Inez and she’s in fashion design school. She loves wearing pretty clothes and she enjoys going to the beach. She had a great childhood, so she’s probably lots of fun to be around.” Unlike me, Meadow thought forlornly before adding, “She thinks you’re really amazing and would love to meet you sometime.”

Logan leaned his head back against the tree, gazing at her from beneath his lashes. “You trying to get rid of me, Jupiter?”

“What?” She was unaccountably flustered. “Why would you think that?”

“Well, first you lied about having a boyfriend—which has never happened to me before, by the way. And now you’re trying to foist me off on some chick. I don’t know, Jupe. What’s a guy to think?”

Her cheeks heated. “I’m not trying to get rid of you, Logan.”

His eyes twinkled. “Because you like me. You always have.”

“For the millionth time—” She stopped herself and held up her hand. “You know what? Forget it. Think whatever you want.”

A grin played at the corners of his lips. “Jupiter likes me,” he crooned in a singsong voice.

“Whatever.” Her lips hurt from trying not to laugh. “Anyway, this has nothing to do with me. I promised to put in a good word for Ana’s sister—”

“And now you have,” Logan said.

She eyed him expectantly. Waiting. “Well?”

“Well what?”

“What should I tell Ana?”

“Tell her thanks, but I’m not interested.”

“How do you know you’re not interested? You haven’t even met her sister.”
