    Summary

    “I bet you fifty bucks I can make you come in under ten minutes.”

    It knocks a laugh out of her, she’ll give him that much. She lets the laugh turn into a scoff as she angles her face toward his. “Please. You don’t look like you have fifty dollars to give me when you lose.”

    “I’m not going to lose.”

    His eyes drop to her mouth, brief as the click of a lighter and every bit as searing. When his eyes return to hers, the air between them tightens.

    “No way.”

    “Why not?”

    “It’s not going to happen.”

    His grin flashes. “Give me eight.”

    “Oh, sweetheart,” Helena croons, and there’s a condescending curl to the end of it she cannot resist. “I could spend eight minutes explaining why the answer is no, and that would be a far better use of both of our time.”

    Mark stayed behind for Helly. But when the alarms started blaring and the blood started flowing, he didn’t expect to wake up reintegrated, with memories that aren’t supposed to coexist.
