I can’t think of anything but him.

His mouth. His tongue. His voice. His hands. His body.

His everything, all over me.

I’m shrouded in him – a cloud of Alex enveloping me and suffocating me until we’re breathing the same tainted air, and I’m on the verge of passing out.

“Tell me you’ll stay with me again, Mel,” he murmurs against my neck, his lips dragging across my skin and up to my other ear. “But this time I’m keeping you up until the fucking sun rises. I know once I sink inside of you, I’ll never want to leave.”

Ohmygod.

Tightening my legs around his hips, I rock into him, my body answering for me.

“Tell me.”

I shake my head. I can’t find my voice, and I don’t know if I want to. Because I know if I do, then I’ll say no.

My body says yes, but my head still says no.

I don’t want to be just another woman in his bed for the night. I don’t want to be someone he kicks out in the morning when he gets what he wants, and then I’m ignored and made to feel like a fool when I see him again.

I refuse to be that girl.

But even as my mind is able to debate this, my body has already been telling him yes.

My breathy sighs are caught in my throat as he captures my lips with his and steals the air from my lungs, silencing every thought in my mind that’s saying no.

And just when I’ve decided to give up the fight, the back door to the bar is slammed open, and I quickly hide my face in Alex’s neck so whoever it is can’t see my face.

“What the fuck, Shelby?” Alex growls, and I cringe into him. He’s angry at whoever Shelby is, but with the hand that’s hidden from the intruder, he strokes it up and down my leg, trying to comfort me and tell me we’re still good.

But I’m not.

What the hell am I doing?

I’m out behind The Rusty Anchor making out with Alex, practically ready to let him rip my clothes off, all the while anyone could come back here and see us.

“Seriously, Alex?” the woman says haughtily.

“Shelby, go away,” he growls.

“I’m not the one out back fucking around when I should be working,” she snarls.

“I’m your fucking boss. Go back inside,” he tells her forcefully.

Huffing out a lungful of air, she slams the door closed, leaving Alex and I in silence again.

My ragged breaths have evened out, and the lust induced haze I had is starting to dissipate as the reality of what just happened hits me.

She’s probably had sex with him and now she’s put out that he’s out here with me. And they work together.

Seriously?

What am I doing?

“You can stop hiding, Mel, she’s gone,” he whispers in my ear.

“I’m not hiding. I–”
