“Well, it feels good.”
“Hmm. It does,” he laughs. “Your ass is incredible, Jessie.”
He pushes himself off the bed, and undresses and I watch him, unapologetically staring. “Your entire body is pretty incredible,” I breathe, and he smiles at me.
“You like?”
“You know that I do.” I roll my eyes.
He slides onto the bed beside me. “You didn’t just roll your eyes at me, did you, Hacker?” he says as he pulls me into his arms, so I’m lying on his hard chest.
“Sorry,” I whisper. “You bring out the spoiled brat in me.”
He runs a hand up my back and wraps my hair around his fist, tilting my head so I’m looking directly into his green eyes. “I doubt that you were ever a spoiled brat. But, I love that you are one for me.”
“You might be right. It must be your incredible spankings. I don’t think anyone else brings out my bad attitude quite like you do,” I giggle.
“Promise me they never will, Jessie,” he whispers.
“Shane Ryan, are you telling me you enjoy me giving you attitude?”
“Well, I certainly enjoy fucking it out of you,” he growls as tightens his grip on my hair and tips my head back further. “Now tell me that it’s just for me.”
“It’s only for you, Shane,” I breathe just before he presses his lips against mine and kisses me so deeply, I feel tears welling in my eyes. This closeness between us has been hard won, but it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted from him.
With my head on Shane’s chest and his arms wrapped around me, I fight the urge to sleep. He trails his fingertips up and down my back as I snuggle against him and sigh with contentment.
“You tired, Hacker?” he asks softly.
“Yes. But I don’t want to go to sleep yet. I just want to lie here like this for a while. Is that okay?”
“Yeah,” he whispers as his hand slips lower and he rubs it gently over my ass. “How is this beautiful ass doing?”
“It's throbbing like it has its own pulse,” I giggle. “But I really like it. I’m good.”
“Good.” He places a kiss on the top of my head.
“How did you know just how far to go? I mean, you stopped at exactly the right time. How did you do that?”
“I understand how to test people’s limits, that’s all. And I know you better than you think.”
“Hmm.” I press my cheek against his chest and listen to the sound of his steady heartbeat. “I wish that I understood you, Shane.”
“You do. Much better than you think too, sweetheart. You’ve been under my skin since that day I found you in Nikolai’s office and you squared up to me, even when Conor had a gun pointed in your face.”
I lift my head up to look into his deep green eyes. “I have?”
“Surely you know that already? I can barely keep my fucking hands off you, Jessie. I think about you constantly. Why do you think it hurt me so much when you walked out on us and left us that damn note?”
A wave of guilt washes over me as I recall leaving a few months earlier with the man I thought was my father, and with only a brief note in my place. “I’m truly sorry that I hurt you all,” I whisper.
He narrows his eyes at me and cups my chin with his hand. “I know. I’m sorry I hurt you too. But I need you to promise me you’ll never leave us again. And I need you to mean it this time. I don’t care who turns up here looking for you. You come talk to us about it, okay?”
“Yes. I promise.”
