“Bane,” Nova snaps. His voice lashes out like a whip, cracking the air between us.

I startle, unconsciously tightening my grip around Bane's wrist.

“It's alright,” Bane says quietly, brushing his thumb softly across my lip now.

It's such a stark contrast to the pressure a moment ago that it makes me a little weak in the knees.

His dark brown eyes search mine, the ring of amber bright and intense. And after a moment, he pulls away. “You had some chocolate,” he says, pitching his voice louder.

I don't look at Nova's reaction, my focus glued to Bane as he brings his thumb up to his mouth. He slowly sucks the trace amount of chocolate off, his lips lingering a moment longer than necessary. My heart flutters wildly in my chest, and I'm suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of familiarity.

His tongue lashes out to swipe the gooey marshmallow from the side of his thumb. I hold his gaze, the bonfire casting orange shadows along his face.

God is he hot though.

The unruly dark hair, ruffled by the warm breeze off the lake. The sharp jaw and those pouty lips. But it's his eyes that keep drawing me back in. Depthless and dark, like I could spend an eternity by his side and still never reach the bottom.

My heart skips several beats, and I realize that I'm in trouble.

Big trouble.

“I dare you to tell me that isn't the best goddamn s'more you've ever had,” he says, handing me a perfectly crafted graham cracker treat.

I take it from him, the marshmallow oozing out the sides. I take a bite and close my eyes in delight. “It's so good,” I mumble.

“I told you,” he says, eyes twinkling with mirth.

“I believed you, but I also wanted to see your skills in action.” I smirk and swipe my tongue along the side of my mouth, searching for the sticky remnants.

“Here, let me help you,” he says with a chuckle, stepping right in front of me.

My dessert euphoria fades into something much more carnal as he palms the side of my neck, his thumb resting underneath my jaw. He tips my head back and leans in close.

Close enough to feel his breath waft over my parted lips. He angles my face to the left an inch and presses his lips against the very corner of my mouth.

His tongue flicks against my skin, and my knees feel weak at the sensation.

“You missed a spot.” His lips brush against me with every syllable, and I think it might be the very best feeling I've ever felt.

“Bane,” Nova snaps again.

His voice propels me out of the memory I was reliving and thrusts me back into the present.

In Nana Jo's kitchen with two very tall, very intense, very attractive men.

Bane shrugs Nova's hand off his shoulder, never taking his gaze from mine. I blink a few times and swallow down all those pesky lusty feelings the memories of that night bring up.

He must read something in my eyes because he offers me a small nod and steps back.
