"That's sure the story," Sloane said calmly. "The one you've been telling yourself for years. But is it the truth?" She shrugged. "I have my doubts. I think you've never gotten over Liam. I don't think any of this is about revenge. You can't accept you still love him so this is the story you tell yourself. But be careful. You're not into casual relationships. What happens if you sleep with him and then can't walk away? You want him to break your heart twice?"In love with Liam? "Never. He can't hurt me. I won't let him. He's little more than a symbol of the issues in my childhood. Once I prove I've outgrown him, I can let my past go.""An excellent theory. You'll have to tell me how that works out for you."Eva hated her friend's doubts. Sloane was her oracle, the keeper of social and romantic knowledge. They'd never disagreed on anything significant before."I have to do this," Eva said. "I've waited too long to walk away now. I have to go for it. You should, too. Tonight."Sloane la

He was so hard she had trouble with the zipper but finally managed to get it unfastened. He helped her push down his jeans and briefs.She knelt between his legs, taking in the beauty that was his aroused naked body. His erection called to her. She reached out and touched him, then stroked his length. He put his hand on top of hers."I don't have any protection," he said.She smiled. "Come on, Liam. It's me. When have I not prepared for every contingency?"She leaned forward and opened his nightstand, then pulled out the condoms she'd put there before she'd started her bath.Seconds later, the condom in place, she eased herself onto him.He was big and thick and he filled her, stretching her inside in the most delicious way possible. She braced herself on her hands and knees, settling in for the ride.+His dark gaze met hers. "You really think I'm going to let you be on top?" he asked."Uh-huh."He reached for her breasts. "You're right."She laughed, then rocked back and forth, easi

When Liam finished getting dressed after his shower, he debated going downstairs for coffee or heading up to the loft to check in with his office. Coffee won, mostly because he hadn't gotten much sleep the previous night.Sharing a bed with Eva had been anything but restful.He walked out of his bedroom, then paused at the landing to look at the picture he'd mostly avoided since arriving at the house. It showed him and his friends during college. When everything had been easy and they'd called themselves the Six Heavens.Emmett laughed into the camera, because he'd always enjoyed whatever he was doing. Ryder and Jackson-twins who couldn't be more different-held Ian in a headlock, while he and Kevin poured beer over the group.He knew that just outside the view of the camera sat a teenage girl on a blanket, her head buried in a book. Because Eva had never quite fit in.Emmett had worried about her, especially after he'd found out he was dying. That's when he'd asked Liam to take care o

Eva rolled her eyes. It was as though they were a couple of dogs and she were the favorite tree they both wanted to pee on. While she was sure Liam was more than capable of winning the contest, she was surprised he would bother to play. She also hadn't expected Justice to get drawn in. Since when had he become competitive?"There's a little too much testosterone in here for me," she said as she stepped back. "You two boys have fun."~~~~~~~Eva made her way to Sloane's room and found her friend typing on her laptop."Girl emergency," Eva said as she closed the bedroom door and sat on the edge of the bed. "How could he be here?""Justice?"Eva nodded. "I had no idea. We've been staying in touch via e-mail and we've talked a little on the phone, but there was no warning. He just showed up. How could he do that?""He got on a plane and flew here. It's romantic. Does it feel romantic to you?""I don't know," Eva admitted, still unclear how she felt. "It's been weeks and weeks. I thought h

Words that should have melted her hearts emotionally if not physically. Because the temperature required to melt a body part would cook it first, and that was gross, even for her twisted mind. So what was wrong with her? Why wasn't Justice getting to her?A question that seriously needed an answer.***An hour later they were down at the edge of the lake. Eva counted heads to make sure no one had ducked out of what she had planned and was surprised to see Liam had joined them."Derrick told me I wouldn't want to miss it," he said when she approached."He's right." She had a little trouble speaking, which was weird but possibly explained by how great Liam looked in swim trunks and a T-shirt. He was tanned—mostly all over, she remembered from the previous night.Bad memory, she told herself. Don't think about making love with Liam. Think about Justice and how sweet he is. Although sweet Justice had chosen not to show up for her afternoon of fun on the lake."So what are we doing?" Sloan

They bounced through the wake of a boat, then settled onto smoother water. Eva leaned against him, her thighs nestling him. The image of her naked, hungry and ready filled his mind.For once, he didn't push it away. He let it stay there, arousing him, making him want to pull into shallow waters and make the fantasy real.He didn't. Instead he headed back to the beach, where her friends were being shown the right way to board a Jet Ski.There was also a new addition to the group. A dinghy had been pulled up on the beach, and Justice stood slightly to the side, staring at Eva."How about something with a little more power?" he said, pointing to the twenty-five-foot boat anchored offshore.She climbed off the Jet Ski and pulled off her life jacket. "I need to stay here," she told him. "This was my idea."Justice glanced around. "The nerd brigade will be fine." He grabbed her hand. "Come on. It'll be fun."Liam wanted to step between them the way he had with surfer dude. But this was diff

Eva needed coffee more than she needed air. It had been another long night but not for any fun reasons. She'd tossed and turned, not sure what to do with her life—something she hadn't wrestled with in years.She was supposed to have things together by now. She was supposed to know her heart as well as she knew her head. Or did being so damned smart mean she was destined to be stupid in other ways?The coffee had barely begun to pour through the filter when someone rang the doorbell. She hadn't seen anyone else up yet so she walked to the front door and opened it.Justice stood on the porch. He held a single red rose in one hand and a stuffed bright-green monkey in the other."It's possible I behaved badly yesterday," he said with a shrug. "More than possible. I want things to work between us."She didn't know what to say. While she was relieved to not be fighting, she wasn't exactly in the mood to throw herself into his arms. Which meant that there was a whole lot more for them to dea

He took her arm and led her into the kitchen. She didn't like anything about this. After folding her arms over her chest she said, "So talk." His dark eyes were unreadable. "Justice isn't who you think." She'd thought maybe her father had been in an accident or had a heart attack. But Justice? "Not who I think? You mean like secretly a woman?""I'm serious, Eva. I have some information on him. His background. He's not the man he's pretending to be. He's in it for the money."A thousand different thoughts flashed through her brain. At any other time she would have paused to marvel at the exquisite structure of the human mind—of how it could hold so many contradictory ideas at any single moment. But right now all she cared about was being strong enough to punch Liam in the stomach. "What the hell are you going on about?" she asked, her voice low and cold. "Why would you know anything about Justice?" "I had him investigated."Anger burned hot and bright. "You have no right to get i
