her lips in a clearly unconscious gesture and every rational thought fled his brain.
    â€œIs this the line for hot cider?” she asked through those lush lips, full, ripe and begging for him to taste.
    That voice, also familiar, nudged at the back of his mind even as his thoughts were already churning with the unbelievable notion that Clara’s prediction had come true. And he couldn’t do more than nod in response.
    â€œWhat’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” she asked in a teasing tone.
    A wry smile pulled at his lips. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”
    She raised her eyebrows warily over the top of the mask. “Try me.”
    He shrugged. Why not? “This is going to sound corny as hell but a fortune-teller told me I was going to meet you tonight.”
    She tilted her head back and laughed, a full,throaty sound that knotted his stomach and sent desire rushing through his body at breakneck speed. No woman before had ever made such an impact.
    Only one had come close and he’d been too young to appreciate her.
    â€œTell me about that fortune-teller,” she urged.
    He shook his head. “I’d rather not.”
    She sidled up to him. “Then tell me about you.” Her green eyes sparkled with interest.
    â€œI’m just a local.” He eyed her curiously, still wondering why that déjà-vu feeling hadn’t subsided.
    â€œYou’re not just anything,” she assured him flirtatiously.
    That’s when he knew.
    He immediately flashed back to their first meeting. “I’m just a skier,” he’d said in an attempt at false modesty. He’d wanted her to appreciate him, not the medals he’d won.
    â€œYou’re not just anything,” she’d said, those inquisitive yet knowing eyes boring into his.
    The connection had been made, their bond solid from that moment on.
    Jason swallowed hard and studied her now, attempting to see beyond the mask she wore to the intervening years they’d been apart. The same green eyes, those lips he’d kissed, the body he’d known as well as his own.
    Blood rushed from his head to other demanding body parts as reality hit him. The woman behind the mask was Lauren Perkins and she apparently had no intention of admitting it.
    Jason was curious as well as intrigued. She certainly had to recognize him.
    Always up for a challenge, he decided to play along and pretend they were indeed strangers. “I appreciate the compliment,” he said, stepping closer, invading her personal space. “Despite the fact that you probably think the fortune-teller story is a corny pickup line.”
    She grinned. “It’s not just a corny line, it’s the worst I’ve ever heard.”
    A light burst of cold wind whipped around them and he inhaled her warm, seductive scent, increasing his interest as well as his desire.
    He wondered what she wanted. And when she’d reveal herself.
    â€œWhat if I told you I can do better?” he asked, still playing along.
    â€œI’d tell you to go for it.” Lauren barely recognized her own deep, husky voice.
    She’d made her way over here on trembling legs, determined to check him out up close. Foolishly believing she could handle him. She’d thought that whatever impact he’d had on her in thepast would have died. She’d been wrong. The man he’d become packed more of a punch than the boy he’d been. He blew her away and she needed time to process her reaction. Flirting with him was fun and safe behind the anonymity of the mask.
    â€œSo what’s a gorgeous woman like you doing at this small-town festival?” he asked as they moved up in the line.
    She swallowed hard. “I’m just passing through,” she said, keeping her explanation deliberately vague.
    â€œLucky me.” The words rumbled from deep inside his chest, reaching down to her soul.
