She spluttered. “You know what.”

He lowered his gaze to her mouth. “It’s what you said.”

She bit back a gasp. “You’re blaming me?”

He gave a slow, sexy grin. “Thanking you. Let me know when you’re ready to...explore what’s between us.”

Sera had never been in a more frustrating conversation in her life. “Nothing more ego-stroking than the idea of two women competing for your attention, huh?”

“If you say so.”

Suddenly, she’d had enough. Enough of a guy who could juggle women with dexterity—even injured.

“You don’t remember,” she snapped.

“Remember what?”

“Spring break in Florida eight years ago.”

Jordan’s lips curved. “Am I supposed to?”

“It depends,” Sera said sarcastically. “Do you keep a running tally of the women you dally with, or do they just run together in one seamless and nameless highlight video in your mind?”

“But you do.”

Sera felt herself heat. “Only because you’ve become famous.”

He frowned. “I would have remembered an unusual name like yours.”

“I didn’t give you my name, and anyway, you probably would have thought I meant S-A-R-A-H.” It was a common mistake that she was used to.

“So you like to operate anonymously?” he said, enjoying himself.

“I’d just turned twenty-one.” I was young and stupid.

Jordan rubbed his chin. “Let’s see, eight years ago...college break. Destin, Florida?”

“Right,” she responded tightly. “Hundreds of students clogging the beach. Beer flowing. Dancing. You angled in...”
