“Ready to confess yet?”
She glares at me. “You’re an asshole.”
“I’m an asshole who was worried sick when you disappeared.”
“Fine. I was scared. Are you happy now?”
Not yet. But I will be soon. We both will be. “Why were you scared?”
“I realized how much I want you and it scared me.”
My heart hammers against my chest. This woman I love wants me. I knew she wanted me. We’re in this bed together after all. But she’s frightened of how much? This can only mean one thing – she cares for me.
Good. This is a start. I’ll get her to fall in love with me. But first. I’m going to show her how much she means to me.
“Hold onto the headboard,” I grumble.
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to fuck you now.”
She lifts her hands and I notch my cock at her entrance.
“Hold on,” I demand before slamming into her.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. My balls are heavy and my lower back tingles. I’m ready to come, and all I did was bury myself inside her.
Her walls ripple around me and I grit my teeth. I refuse to be a one-pump wonder. Not when I’m trying to show this woman how much I care for her.
I inhale a deep breath to get myself under control. And then I go about showing Sloane how much she means to me.
Chapter 26
“Apparently, sarcasm isn’t an effective shield. Who knew?”
Sloane
The arm around my waist tightens and I groan. Stupid sexy smugglers. I did it again. I let Zane have his wicked way with me.
Am I an idiot? Or worse yet – am I my mother? Why can’t I resist Zane?
I know he’s not interested in a relationship. He may have changed his tune about being a father, but he’s still a player. My dad wouldn’t stay for me. Why would Zane?
I need to get out of here. I lift his arm and scoot toward the edge of the bed.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“Bathroom.”
“Come straight back to me.”
I nod. It’s not lying if I nod.
I snag my clothes from the floor before rushing from the room. When I reach the bathroom, I lock the door behind me and lean against it. I slide to the floor.
Why did I give in and have sex with Zane again?
Because you’re falling in love with him.
