fingers brushed as I grabbed it from her, and a tingling sensation traveled all the way up my arm. There was something there—I couldn’t deny that—but I wasn’t sure what it was. It was lust for sure, but something else too; something I’d never experienced before.
    “I’ll um…I’ll set up a plan,” she said, not meeting my eyes. I didn’t miss the little tremor in her voice. She must have felt the electricity too, and that sent my hormones wild. “And I’ll organize a meeting with you soon. They only sent me here tonight for a meet-and-greet, basically. But if you have any questions, feel free to call me at any time. My cell number is on there.”
    Good. A way to contact her.
    I ran my fingers over the phone number, desperately trying to think of something cool to say, but I drew a frustrating blank. By the time I’d worked up the courage to make eye contact with her once more, I looked up to find myself all alone. She had already gone, and for some reason, that fact made hurt spike in my heart.
    I remained sitting in that cold, soulless room for a little while longer, just staring at Riley’s name on the card. I still couldn’t believe that it was really her—the girl I grew up next door to; the one that I’d once shared so much with. It was just so much to take in, and I had no idea what to do about it all.
    Our past was so complex, so twisted and ripped apart that I’d never expected to see her again. I’d thought about her a lot over the years, but only in a reminiscent way, because I knew she’d probably despise me if she ever saw what I’d become. Then suddenly she’d just showed up here out of the blue…and looking as hot as hell, I might add. Much sexier than I ever would have thought. I mean, she’d always been beautiful, but I’d never seen her in that way. She’d just been my friend Riley, who I’d loved in a pure, innocent way as a child.
    It wouldn’t be easy for me to work alongside her now, keeping my hands to myself, but it was certainly going to be interesting reconnecting with my old friend.
    I wondered where her life had taken her.
    Is she single?
    Is working in public relations what she always wanted?
    Did she ever write that book she was always talking about when we were kids?
    Is she happy? 
    I had so many questions and absolutely no answers. Luckily, the awful situation with Serra didn’t seem to be going anywhere fast, and that was going to give me the opportunity to find out at least some of those answers. Maybe Riley would even want to be friends with me again, just like the good old days.
    And maybe—just maybe—she’d want something more than friendship.

Chapter 3
    Riley
    After tonight, there was absolutely no way I’d ever want to be friends with Kaiden again, let alone anything more, but that hadn’t stopped him from touching me up and saying sleazy crap to me while I’d been in his dressing room earlier, as if he’d had a chance.
    He wishes.
    “What a prick!” I muttered to myself as soon as I walked through the front door of my apartment. I’d been keeping my emotions in check while I was out, but now that I was safely at home, I could let it all out.
    I honestly couldn’t believe how much Kaiden had changed. Long-gone was the sweet, kind boy that I once knew, and now he was nothing more than a sleazy asshole. Part of me had wondered if his awful media image was all for show, and that maybe the real Kaiden was still in there somewhere, but to walk in there tonight and find what I had…well, it was just disgusting. He’d had two scantily-clad women draped all over him when I entered the room, and if I hadn’t interrupted at the precise moment I had, I probably would have found them in the middle of a threesome.
    I shuddered at the thought of that.
    It was as if he’d done it on purpose. He knew that he was supposed to be meeting me tonight. But why would he do it on purpose? What was the point? Was he trying to rile me up? When we were younger
