“I told you I was just trying to figure out why the hell these whales were so important.”
“Flirt,” Penelope called. “Not argue.”
“Same difference with her,” he said under his breath.
“I can’t believe what you said in front of her,” I whispered.
“You need to tell her.”
“I will.” Though I squirmed as I made the promise.
He didn’t look impressed. “I’m sure you will . . . in another twenty years.”
“Are you going to sue me?”
“I should.” He looked out the window to the beautiful sunny day. “But I won’t.”
I felt little relief, certain he may change his mind with his mood.
“Mom, kiss away his frown.”
I wanted to slide under the table. My daughter was determined to embarrass me.
Kane met my gaze. In it was challenge, though I wasn’t sure if he was daring me to do it or not to.
All I did know though was how much I craved his kisses. It had been so many years since I’d felt such acute attraction to a man, and Kane was the epitome of suave and sexy. And when he looked at my lips like he was now, it made him so hard to resist.
Screw it.
Before I could think it through, I grabbed his shirt and pulled him toward me.
I planted my lips on his, consequences be damned.
For once in my life, I was going to take what I wanted. This man confused me, invigorated me, and made me act unpredictably. Penelope was right.
It only took a second for him to catch up. Instead of ripping himself away, he cupped the back of my head.
Somewhere that sounded far away, Penelope whistled and cheered. I was too consumed by everything Kane to be embarrassed.
Only he made me feel this way.
Out of control.
Full of desire.
Alive.
And the way he kissed me back made me feel as if I wasn’t in this alone.
I opened my eyes to find him staring at me with a blazing heat I wanted to get lost in. We would get through this. We had to. Because I couldn’t get this taste of him, only to lose him again.
My fingers found their way to his hair. He tasted of everything I thought I never wanted. Now I knew different.
I wanted this man.
The good. The bad. All of him.
He flicked his tongue into my mouth in the most indecent way, especially in front of our daughter. I couldn’t find it in me to care.
