| CALL ME CUPID On the day before her wedding, the last thing AJ needs is the ex she never truly got over showing up to complicate things. But when fate throws a curve ball and she wakes to relive the same day over and over, the only person who may know what’s going on is the one man she can never trust her heart to. Cooper thought he wanted closure. Seeing AJ again proves he’s anything but ready to let go. With a Greek god in his corner he’s got all the time in the world to convince AJ that she still loves him—if such a bold move doesn’t push her straight out of his arms forever. EXCERPT She took a sip from the wineglass she held, as much to soothe her nerves as to ease the immediate tightness in her throat when she spotted Cooper stride through the door. He didn’t pause, his gaze zeroing in on her right off the bat. Unlike the last time round, her heart pounded with the knowledge of the brief dance they shared last night and wondering if they would again. Considering the entire day had played out the same way as yesterday, she imagined he would try again. “Hi,” she said softly. The frown on his face eased. “Hi.” “I’m glad you’re here.” And damn if that wasn’t the truth. The whole day had gone to hell and back, and she was helpless to do anything but be along for the ride. Nothing made sense, but seeing him here settled something inside of her. “Can I talk to you?” He didn’t wait for her permission, but glanced once over his shoulder, then led her out onto the terrace. If he had tried this yesterday, she would have instantly dug in her heels. Considering she needed to hash this out with someone—the only person left who just might believe her—she went willingly. Alone outside, the warm evening air teased her hair as she stopped next to him, overlooking the gardens the same way they had last night. She waited for him to say something, but he continued to stare straight ahead. “This is going to sound really weird,” she began. “There you are,” Kirk said from the doorway. AJ sighed. Now was not the time. He came up and slipped an arm around her waist, holding out his hand. “I’m Kirk.” Cooper didn’t shake his hand this time. “Could we have a few minutes?” AJ shifted her attention from Kirk to Cooper. There was no mistaking Cooper’s immediate dislike for her fiancé. Had she just been too preoccupied with Kirk’s similar response yesterday to notice Cooper’s feelings were mutual? Kirk forced out a laugh. “I’m sure you’ll understand if I steal my wife-to-be away for a bit.” He lightly gripped AJ’s elbow to lead her back inside. She shook her head. “I’ll be right there.” Kirk hesitated, his gaze darting back and forth between the two of them. He finally nodded and disappeared back inside, but not before the quiet look of disapproval tightened his face. “And he makes you happy,” Cooper snorted, the comment more of a statement of disgust than a question. “I suppose you think you did such a stellar job in that department.” He looked instantly contrite. He pushed his hands in his pockets, only to remove them a few seconds later. “We both know I messed up with us.” AJ gaped. Not once, not even when he asked her not to move out and she said it was over, or anytime since then when the subject came up, did he ever own up to his part in things. “Don’t look so surprised,” he added with a sheepish grin. “I figure everything out eventually.” She drew in a deep breath, the intensity of those blue eyes scorching her from the inside out. The next words out of her mouth surprised them both if the look on his face was any indication. “Dance with me.” Her head told her to shut the hell up and go inside with Kirk. Other parts, ones she didn’t want to examine too closely, insisted she see if the insane things she felt last night in his arms were just because it had been so long. She needed to know that’s all it was. Needed to know she could dance with him and not… She tipped her face up, thinking of their conversation last night. “Do you ever think about us and what might have happened if things hadn’t ended the way they had?” He blinked in surprise, then his gaze dropped to her mouth. “Every damn day.” The softly murmured confession worked like an atmospheric vacuum, sucking up every spare air molecule. Cooper lifted a hand, trailed his thumb along her jawline. Her eyes drifted shut. She had to let go of him. Had to walk away. She couldn’t think about going down this road again. Not even for a few minutes. And especially not when she was set to marry someone else. She ordered her fingers to release the hold they had on his shirt. Cooper leaned in, his cheek brushing hers, his mouth next to her ear. “I’ve missed you, AJ.” She nearly whimpered, but whether it was from her heart breaking all over again or because she knew she had to let go, she didn’t know. He caught her chin in his hand, freezing her in her tracks. She wanted to back up, but the warm pressure of his hand against her back felt too good. “I’ve had one hell of a day, you know.” “I’m sorry,” he whispered. Without a doubt she knew he wasn’t apologizing for her bad day. This was something else. Something far more important. Cooper leaned forward and slid his mouth over hers. |
