My stomach dips. “How is that my fault?”
Shane looks up at me, and his eyebrows draw together. “Did I say it was your fault?”
“No, but you implied it,” I point out with a lift of my chin. “Your business partner is the one who brought me here, remember?”
“Yeah, look I’m trying to talk some sense into him and get us out of here.” Shane huffs and unfolds his arms. “Isaiah has just been under a lot of pressure, but I’m sure I can get through to him and get him to let us go. I’m trying to focus on that, but…”
“But what?”
“You’re here in my bed, and I can’t fucking stop.”
“Stop what?”
“Thinking about you,” Shane reveals in a tight voice. “You’re like some kind of goddamn drug that won’t leave my system, and I just—”
I inch closer to him and take his hand in mine. “You just what?”
Shane’s eyes snap to attention. “This isn’t supposed to happen. I know that, and I know that we’re only supposed to be trying to get out, but I also know that you feel it too.”
I stare down at our hands and back up at his face. “I do.”
“I know I’ve been toeing the line for too long, and maybe it’s coming back to bite me in the ass, but I want to do better, Evie. I need you to know that.”
I blow out a breath. “Okay.”
“I’ve turned into a fucking cliché around you. Hell, I don’t even know if Isaiah is going to listen anymore since I punched him the last time we talked.”
I frowned. “Why would you do that?”
Shane shrugs. “He said something about you, and I didn’t like it.”
“Shane—"
Shane wraps his arms around my waist and leans in. “I just lost my mind when he talked about you like that, but I’m not going to apologize for it.”
“I don’t want you to.”
“Why are you fighting this?”
I let out a breath. “Because I’m afraid to feel this way.”
My pulse quickens when Shane brushes his mouth against mine. He pulls back, and his eyes move over my face. Then, he is kissing me again, firmer this time, and everything in me erupts as I melt against him. I shudder and wrap my arms around his neck. One hand moves up and down my arms while the other cups the back of my neck, forcing me to tilt my head to the side. When his tongue darts in, tasting like mint, I make a soft whimpering noise.
All at once, he hoists me up, and my legs lock themselves around his waist.
His hand moves underneath my top. Goosebumps break out across my flesh as he trails a path up and stops in between my breasts. Then he takes one nipple between his fingers and tugs. I gasp, wrench my lips away, and throw my head back. Shane presses his mouth to my neck, sucking and nibbling while his hand moves back and forth between my breasts until my nipples are as hard as pebbles.
My legs tighten, and my head swims when the other hand darts underneath the bottoms. He strokes me over the fabric of my panties while my nails dig into his shoulders. I make a choked noise in the back of my throat, and before I know it, I am in my bra and panties.
With trembling fingers, I reach for his shirt and pull it up over his head and toss it onto the mattress. Then I reach for his sweatpants, tug them down over his hips, and let them pool around his ankles.
Shane’s mouth finds mine seconds later.
He gently pushes me back so I am pressed against the headboard. I moan as I arch my back and wrap my legs around his waist. His hands move up and down my sides, leaving a trail of heat in their wake until it feels as if I am about to explode. Slowly, he runs his hand down the slope of my chest and darts in between my folds.
My heart slams against my chest.
Shane draws back to look at me, his eyes dark with hunger while he inserts another finger. He moves slowly, teasing and tantalizing, while I writhe and spasm beneath him. As my breathing quickens, he lowers his mouth to my breasts and takes one nipple between his teeth. While he moves back and forth, I reach between us and grip him. His answering grunt makes my blood sing.
