I kiss her fiercely, slanting my mouth over hers and tilting my head so I can deepen the embrace. Only when I’ve sucked her lips to my hearts content—and not a freaking second before—do I ease back.
She blinks rapidly, a dazed look on her face.
I add another kiss to her forehead. “Have a nice chat, wife.”
“Hansley…” My name is a warning hiss on her lips.
I smirk.
She narrows her eyes in response.
Thad the String Bean clears his throat. “Let’s go, Asia.”
I bristle at the way he’s calling her. Like she’s some dog in the park that he’s got ownership of. Like she’s his pet who should come running when he gives the order.
It takes everything in me not to swing at String Bean’s face.
Asia turns away from me. My heart pangs when she doesn’t scold Thad for his rough tone. I’m going to pretend she’s letting that slide because she’s still reeling from our kiss. I will not allow myself to accept any other explanation.
Forcing myself back inside the hotel room, I close the door and head to the shower. It’s going to take a cold one to get over that kiss.
I don’t know why I’m so stirred up right now. Asia did a lot more than kiss me last night. And it’s not like I’ve never kissed a woman before.
Why the hell is my heart still beating so fast?
I press a hand to my chest and feel the stuttering pulse. I’m having a freaking heart attack.
My eyes dart to the door.
Damn.
I want her back in my arms right now. So much it hurts.
Why does she bother me like this? Why does the thought of her going back to String Bean and never talking to me again piss me off?
She’s just another girl.
Just another…
Damn. I don’t do this.
I don’t yearn.
That’s not who I am.
I make a woman scream. Make her moan. Make her writhe in satisfaction. Then I send her on her way.
There’s no bonds. No feelings involved.
I shouldn’t have kissed her.
Hell, I shouldn’t have married her.
But it’s a little too late for regrets. Both ships have sailed.
The muscles in my jaw bunch as I step into the shower and turn on the cold water. The pellets hit my skin like tiny pins. My flesh shudders, bringing my excitement under submission.
Then I turn.
