“What do you want me to say, Janie?” he said, trying like hell to ignore the tiny zing of electricity he felt everywhere she touched him. “That I’m happy for you?”
“That would be a start.”
“Well, I’m not.”
Jane swung her leg over Rafe’s hips and straddled his body, stared down at him with mischief in her clear green eyes. “I’m getting married, not taking a vow of chastity,” she said, emphasising her point by rocking her hips and mashing their bodies together in all the right ways. A moan escaped him and his eyelids fluttered shut.
She felt so good.
He gritted his teeth.
It felt so wrong.
Opening his eyes, he frowned up at her. “Or monogamy, apparently.”
Jane shrugged. “Just one of the perks of marrying a swinger,” she purred, until he grabbed her hips and ceased her movement. It was either that or flip her over and fuck her again, and Rafe figured they needed to talk more than they needed more orgasms. It was a tough choice to make, but he was sure he’d thank himself for it later. Probably.
Jane’s shoulders slumped and her mouth twisted. “What?”
“You know what. Since when are you into swinging? You’ve always been an adventurous lover, but swinging? Really?”
She folded her arms over her perky tits. “I’m a late bloomer. What of it?”
“You’re not a late bloomer, Jane. You’re being led by the nose.”
“Meaning you think Sam is taking advantage of me.”
“Yes, I do. I also hear you’ve given him access to your bank accounts,” he said, his hard gaze boring into her increasingly pissed off one. “Please tell methat’snot true?”
“Who told you that?” she demanded, staring at him, her emerald eyes narrowing further and she anchored her hands to her hips. “Exactly how stupid do you think I am?”
Rafe frowned at the question. “What?”
Jane slid from his lap and proceeded to dress. “I’m not some innocent little girl anymore, Rafe, so easily swayed by a handsome face and pretty words. And whom I give access to my moneyandmy body is none of your business.”
The bottom fell out of Rafe’s gut and he felt as though she’d slapped him, her words stinging his raw nerves. None of his business? Jane Melville was none of his—
His chest constricted as raw pain radiated outwards from his heart.
And what did she mean by an innocent girl easily swayed? Was that truly what she thought of their past?
He sat heavily on the edge of the bed, incredulous anger bubbling beneath his skin. “Is that why you’ve been punishing me all these years? Because you think I tricked you out of your virginity with a come-hither smile and my witty charm?”
It certainly wasn’t how he remembered it.
“I don’t appreciate the sarcasm,” Jane said, her eyes glowing green fire.
“And I don’t appreciate the accusation,” Rafe fired back. He ran his hands through his hair, then laughed in disbelief and shook his head. “For fuck’s sake, Janie, you’re smarter than this. Our past aside, you’ve known Sam Lyndon for less than six months, and I don’t know how the hell he’s managed to dig his claws in so deep in such a short amount of time, but I can tell you one thing.”
“Oh, and what’s that?”
“He’s taking you for a ride, and what’s worse is you’re letting him. He’s not a swinger, Jane, he’s a swinging dick. He fucks every woman who crosses his path and doesn’t spare them or you a second thought as he does it. It is completely beyond me how you can even think of marrying that fuckwit when he has zero respect for you.”
“That is not true!” she snapped, jabbing a finger at him. “And at least he wants to be with me. You couldn’t get far enough away from me.”
Rafe was on his feet in an instant, towering over her. “So, what? You’re marrying him to get back at me?”
The look she threw at him then made him feel as stupid as he’d just sounded. “Wow. Ego much? Oddly enough, Rafael, my entire life doesn’t revolve around you.”
