He devoured me with his kisses, feasting on my mouth, my face, groaning when I kissed him back… and as I gasped for air in between—because I’d pretty much forgotten how to breathe—an awful, horrible thought invaded mybrain.

What if any of this passion was about thebooze?

I broke away, panting, lightheaded andbreathless.

Sure, I’d brushed my teeth. Like that could magically undrink the booze I’d drank? The truth was, I was a lot less sober than I’d let on. I was pretty sure Zane knewthat.

But that meant he was breakinghisrule for me. And his rule was a big one. As in, his life pretty much depended onit.

Booze and women together… that’s a temptation I just can’thack.

Shit.

Just…shit.

All the air squeezed from my lungs and my heart kicked in a really weirdway.

I couldnotbe the reason Zane destroyed hislife.

Wait.

Myheart?

When the hell did my heart get in onthis?

Fuck me.My heart wasnotallowed to do weird kicky things forZane.

It wasZane.

He was looking at me, his blue eyes hazy, his face a little flushed, his skin kinda dewy as his tongue swiped the corner of his mouth. I tasted his salt as I bit mylip.

When did it get so bloody hot inhere?

“What’swrong?”

“I think you were right,” I whispered, my hand on his chest as I pushed himaway.

He didn’t letgo.

“I’m right about a lot of things, babe. Be morespecific.”

He slid his hand around my neck and dug his fingers into my hair, pulling me closer, and I said, “Maybe we shouldn’t dothis.”

He stopped dead and stared at me. “Youserious?”

I nodded. I was deadserious.

“Fuckme.”

He released me and rolled away, sitting on the edge of the bed, facing away from me. Then he got up, fast, and put his shirt backon.

Shit. Was hepissed?

Where did he get off beingpissed?

I scrambled off my side of the bed. “You weren’t going to before, so why shouldI?”

He turned and stood glaring at me. I was actually glad the bed was between us, because he was starting to look stabby again. “Because youwantto.”
