“I’m going to lose this battle,” he said more to himself than to me.

I gave in to my urge and traced my fingers along his chest. “Actually, my plan is for us both to win.”

He rolled me onto my back, his body pressing me into the bed. “We never finished our earlier conversation.”

“I’m surprised you want to.”

He braced his forearms on either side of my head. “For once you were the one opening up.”

“It-it’s not easy,” I whispered.

“You think I don’t know that?”

I slid my hand over his shoulders and clasped them around his neck. “I asked you a question you never had a chance to answer.”

Can you forgive me?

“I need time,” he said gruffly.

The anger that lingered just below his surface made an appearance.

“Take it out on me. Let me carry some of it.”

His face darkened. “I’m not going to hit you.”

I applied pressure to his neck. “Not like that. Like this.”

I pulled his head down as I stretched to reach him, our lips colliding. Need pulsed through me. I wanted him, but he was right. When we finally gave in, the moment should be in our place.

But he was going to have to learn to kiss me anywhere.

His lips were brutal against mine. He held nothing back, and because of that, he earned another piece of my heart.

Kane had a tough exterior, but inside? He was beautiful.

I wandered my hands down his back. He felt so good being so close. His skin was hot.

My body was nothing but sensation. All from being near him.

Our tongues collided. His lashed with anger and need. Mine dueled with acceptance and desperation.

It was as if I’d been wearing a veil over my eyes when it came to Kane and now it had been lifted. I saw him for who he truly was. And he was more than I ever dreamed of.

His hard length pressed against me. Wonder and want moved my body of its own accord. Was this desire because of me? Or did his anger bring about passion?

“You are truly testing me,” he grumbled against my mouth.

“We could go back to the Hamptons this weekend,” I said breathlessly. “I’m sure we’re not done with our redo.”

He rolled and pulled me on top of him. I squeaked, but grinned before I kissed him again. Instinct had me rub my center against him.

His fingers dug into my hips. “I’m sure we’re not done with anything.”

That pesky hope that would not die streaked through me.

“Keep apologizing with your mouth.” He tugged my lips to his.

His kiss wasn’t quite so angry, though it was no less intense. This was what I wanted every night. And I only wanted it with Kane.
