Iris had no idea what she was doing. She knew pushing this was a bad idea and yet some part of her couldn’t stop herself. Murmuring Dylan’s name while half-asleep had been dumb, and she couldn’t believe she’d revealed it like that. She didn’t want to talk about Dylan, and most especially she didn’t want Zane to know what an idiot she’d been in the whole fiasco. It was her shame to bear, a deeply private shame that she didn’t plan on telling anyone about, ever.

But then she’d gone and murmured his name in that confused half state between sleeping and waking, and of course Zane had heard. And of course he wanted to know what the hell was going on. She should have just told him and not made a big deal out of it, but she had. Then she’d gone and made matters worse by refusing Zane’s direct command, pushing and pushing until he’d handcuffed her to the bed.

She still didn’t know why she’d done that. She didn’t know why her heart was racing and her body was trembling, and her skin was prickling all over with heat. Why the thought of him torturing a confession out of her made her scared and yet desperately excited at the same time.

She swallowed, trying to get a breath that sounded at least a little bit like normal yet utterly failing. There was no way she could hide what he was doing to her. He knew. And somehow that knowing look only made her hotter.

“Who is he?” Zane breathed gently over the peak of one breast and the wetness left by his tongue, causing her nipple to tighten even more. “What did he do to hurt you?”

Iris wanted to close her eyes, escape into the darkness, but scared of what even that would reveal, she steeled herself to hold the fierce brilliance of Zane’s gaze, to not look away. She couldn’t let him read her like this, she just couldn’t. “He didn’t hurt me.”

“Really? So why don’t you want to talk about him then?”

“He’s just an idiot I went out with a couple of times. No biggie.”

“Uh-huh.” Zane lowered his head again, that wicked, teasing tongue making another circle around her nipple. Then, his gaze still on hers, he drew it slowly into his
