“—we got it going already?”

Sera nodded, her face warming. “This is getting complicated.”

“No, it’s simple. You don’t like me, and I’ve got a hard case of lust for you.”

“I’ve been rethinking that part,” she muttered.

“What?”

She cast him a sidelong look. “The part about how I don’t...don’t like you.”

Jordan fiddled with the knot of his tie. “Now you tell me?” he joked. “We’re at a wedding surrounded by a couple of hundred people. Some of them even related to me.”

“And whose fault is that?” she replied. “Isn’t there a closet under the stairs where we can hide?”

Jordan gave her a look of such longing and heat that Sera felt as if her clothes evaporated right off her.

He leaned close and whispered in her ear. “Hiding isn’t exactly what I had in mind.”

“Oh?” she asked breathlessly.

“What’s under that dress?”

“It’s got a built-in bra,” she answered hesitantly.

“Even better. One zipper? I want to know how easy it is to peel you out of it.”

“It’s on the back. But don’t you want to explore and find the exits on your own?”

Jordan took a deep swallow of his drink. “We could do this.”

This was so crazy. They were actually contemplating if they could duck inside the mansion for a quickie.

“Dinner will start soon,” she tried.

“We won’t be missed.”

“Is that why you waited till now? Because disappearing from the ceremony would have been too noticeable?” She really needed a fan.

One side of his mouth rose in a slight smile. “You think you were saved by the wedding bell?”

“Maybe you’ve been.” Jordan was a no-strings kind of guy—it would be lethal if he was caught getting it on with her, of all people, and here, of all places.

“Angel, it’s not salvation...yet. It’s purgatory right now.”

Sera forced a laugh. “Hey, you invited me to this event

. I’m sure all your relatives aside from your mother are surprised you’re here with a date.” Me.

“Let them wonder all they want. It’s been way too long.”

“Since you’ve been at a wedding?”

“Since the two of us have been all over each other with lust,” he responded bluntly.

Sera sucked in a breath.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t been wondering, too,” Jordan continued in a low, deep voice. “Fantasizing about whether the chemistry that night in my apartment was a fluke or we’re really that good together.”
