“I never called you ‘sexy.’ Moderately attractive,maybe.”

The door swung open behind him before he could respond.

A woman in jean shorts and a t-shirt stepped onto the landing, and for some reason, he didn’t let her move past us.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something for a while,” he said. “Something I can’t quite figure out.”

“I’m sure Google can help.”

“Of all the people in the world to become ‘best friends’ with, why would you pick my sister? Better yet, how the hell did you tworeallyfind each other after all this time?”

“Sir, please don’t make me call the police.”

“For asking questions?”

“Forharassing me,” I said. “I have no idea who you are and I’d hate to see you in prison.”

“I still have our old pictures and videos in my phone.” He stepped closer. “They won’t believe anything you say once they see that you’re naked in most of them.”

I sucked in a breath. “You promised to delete those.”

“I said I would try.”

“What an interesting way to say, ‘Ilied.’”

“I’m not sorry.” He made me feel as if we were the only ones in this stairwell. “How long are you staying at this party?”

“I’m here with my fiancé.” I spat out the words and held up my hand. “I’m getting married.”

He eyed the ring, clenching his jaw.

“I doubt he would appreciate you talking to me,” I said, “given our history.”

“You’re finally acknowledging that we have one?”

“Never.”

Silence.

The more I stared at him, the more I realized that he was ten times sexier than he was on the night we first met, and I needed to get—andstay—the hell away from him.

“Well, sir,” I said, “it was very nice chatting with you about the weather and—”

“Is your fiancé as good at kissing you as I was?”

“If you’d ever kissed my lips, which you haven’t, it clearly wasn’t memorable.”

“I’m not talking about the lips on your mouth.” He pressed his forehead against mine. “Surely you remember me kissing the other ones.”

“I…” I swallowed. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“I can give you a reminder while I’m in town, if you like.” He lowered his voice, and his lips grazed mine, setting every nerve in my body on fire. “I always loved the taste of your pussy…”

The woman behind him looked at us in shock, and my cheeks burned like hell.

“Would you like that reminder or not?” Travis asked, but I didn’t answer.

I pushed him away and rushed through the door without another word.
