have to loosen up.”
    Lexi smiled and then leaned against the frame of the door. “We’ll I don’t drink so—”
    “What?” My head jutted back. “You’re a junior, right?”
    “Yes, I am.” She glanced at the floor, her hair falling over her eyes. I sensed I had embarrassed her so I changed my tune.
    “Hey, better late than never.” I took the lid off my Subway cup and filled the half watered-down Coke with the fruity liquor. “There’s a party tonight at the Kappa Sig house. There’s going to be a lot of hot guys there. Wanna go?”
    She glanced at me with a timid smile. “That’s okay, I don’t go to parties.” Her voice trailed off, but I heard a hint of curiosity. Maybe she didn’t have any friends or her parents had brainwashed her . 
    I stirred my drink with the straw and then sampled it. “Mmmm. That’s good. Are you sure you don’t want a sip?” I offered her my cup, hoping to entice her just a little.
    “No, thank you.” She shook her head. “My boyfriend is picking me up for dinner, so I better not.”
    “Does your boyfriend care if you drink?”
    She pressed her lips together, as though hesitating to answer. “He prefers that I don’t.”
    I released the straw from my lips. “Wow. You must really be in love, or he must be damn good in bed.”
    Lexi’s face flashed red, and her jaw dropped. By her reaction, I guessed I had offended her. This girl was definitely living a sheltered life.
    “I’m sorry.” I covered my mouth. “I need a filter for this thing. I tend to just say whatever the hell I want, so just ignore me. I didn’t mean to pry.”
    “It’s okay. No harm done.” She started to back away from my room. “I’m just going to take a shower . . .”
    “Yeah, me, too.”
    A sudden knock at the door startled us. “Expecting someone?”
    “No. But maybe it’s your boyfriend.”
    “I doubt it.” She smirked. “Collin doesn’t show up unannounced.”
    I followed her to the front door. Lifting up on the tips of her toes, she looked out the peephole. “Oh, it’s my brother.” She opened the door, and I started to turn around, but stopped when I was greeted with a set of light blue eyes that I’d seen before. Blue eyes that had seen me before.
    Not just me.
    But all of me.
    Naked me.
    This wasn’t good.

    There were those eyes. Those mesmerizing blue eyes that I had seen before. That had seen me before. There was no way I could forget those eyes. Hopefully, her eyes hadn’t forgotten me, either.
    “Hey, Brother, what are you doing?”
    “Nothing, Sis.” I stepped into my sister’s dorm trying not to stare at the woman I’d been searching for all summer. “Thought I’d come and check out your new digs.”
    “They’re nice.” Lexi shut the door behind me. “Much larger than a standard dorm room.”
    “I see that.” I smiled at the drop-dead gorgeous brunette eyeing me from head to toe. She had to remember me. Recall the incredible night we had together. And if she didn’t, I had no problem helping her remember.
    “Oh, this is my roommate, Delaney Dukakis.”
    Delaney Dukakis.
    So, that’s her name.
    My heart thundered in my chest, like the roar of a crowd stomping their feet on the metal bleachers. The walls of the entryway narrowed to the point of seeing one thing: Delaney. I took my time capturing every part of her. She was just as I remembered. Petite with curves in all the right places. Her long dark hair was in a lose braid, and my skin shivered, recalling how her silky strands tickled my chest.
     
    “Hi. I’m Luke Thompson,” I announced, even though she already knew my name. She didn’t say anything. Just stood there, clenching a Subway cup to her chest. “Lexi’s twin brother,” I added, hoping to shock her a little more. It must have worked because her jaw dropped, and it took her a few seconds to finally shake my hand.
    “Hi, Luke,” she said in an alluring voice that caused my smile to
