I felt my stomach drop, my breath strangled somewhere between my lungs and my throat. My fingers twitched against the desk, and I swore time hiccupped, stretching the space between one heartbeat and the next.

She had changed into a fitted black top and dark jeans, her hair swept up in a messy knot, exposing the graceful curve of her neck.

But those green eyes… still carrying that fire, that challenge.

She froze for half a second, her lips parting in the faintest gasp before her expression smoothed over.

“Sadie Collins?” Adam spoke first with a playful smile. “Nice to meet you. I’m Adam Reid. This is Samuel Thompson and Kai Byrne.”

She hesitated, her gaze flickering from Adam to me.

I forced my face into a neutral expression, something that didn’t screamholy shit, this is the woman I had my hands all over last night.

“Nice to meet you, too,” she said, her voice even.

Smooth.

Like she hadn’t been moaning my name hours ago.

Adam motioned toward the chair across from us, oblivious to the tension wrapping itself around my throat. “Go ahead and have a seat.”

She moved toward it, her steps sure, but I caught the slight clench of her jaw.

Kai leaned back in his chair, arms crossing over his chest as his sharp eyes studied her. “Didn’t know you were back.”

Fuck.

How the hell did he know her?

My shoulders stiffened. Sadie didn’t react, at least not visibly, but I could feel the way her muscles tensed, the way the air between us crackled.

She tilted her head slightly. “I just got back this weekend.”

I couldn’t breathe.

I needed to get a grip.

I cleared my throat, scrambling for the right words to say, when her eyes suddenly snapped to mine.

Lightning flickered there.

I swallowed hard.

Shit.

Toosmall.

The kind of place where running into ghosts from your past wasn’t a possibility—it was a guarantee.

But this?
