Maybe I shouldâve packed an extra pair of panties because, oh my god, the man made me wet.
If I hadnât needed to be at the church with the dress, I mightâve said fuck it and taken him back to my bed. Or maybe we wouldâve gotten as far as the door. I couldâve pulled up my dress and dropped my panties and he couldâve undone his beltâ
Oh wow.
Sucking in a breath, I pulled my hand away from his mouth, and the tempting scruff on his jaw, and dropped my gaze on the pretense of putting the key in the ignition.
Because I couldnât think of one sane thing to say, I said, âWe should get going.â
Shane didnât miss a beat. Stepping back, he made sure my dress was safely out of the way of the door before he closed it. My heart gave a serious flutter.
Then he walked around to get in the passenger side, his knees nearly hitting his chin before he adjusted the seat back.
When he buckled himself in, I put the car in gear and headed for the church, trying to ignore the way he took up so much space in my car.
Damn, he was big.
Yes, Iâd known from being in bed with him last night. But here, now, enclosed in the car together⦠He took up so much space, it almost felt like there wasnât enough air.
Of course, that could just be from the way I couldnât catch her breath when he was around.
âSo is the bride a friend or a client?â
Ridiculously relieved that heâd asked a question I didnât have to think about, I said, âBoth, really. I mean, she started out as a client but became a really good friend. She has mobility issues and,â I have a brother with mental disabilities that Iâm not going to mention because you could still turn out to be a dick, âI told her Iâd help her get dressed.â
âWhat kind of mobility issues?â
The kind caused by a fiancé who got careless and flipped the car he was driving and crushed Faithâs spine.
âShe was injured in a car accident and needs a wheelchair.â
âDamn, that sucks.â
The true emotion in his voice hit me somewhere in the middle of my chest.
âIt does. But Faithâs amazing. They told her sheâd probably never walk again but sheâs not giving up. I have no doubt sheâll be able to get rid of that chair. But for now, she knows she needs it and doesnât take shit or pity from anyone.â
âShe sounds amazing. Canât wait to meet her. Gotta say I noticed you havenât said anything about the guy sheâs marrying.â
I tried not to grimace and barely managed it.
âHeâsâ¦fine.â
Shane laughed. âDamned by faint praise.â
Grimacing, I shot a quick glance at Shane as I stopped for a red light. âIs it that obvious?â
âThat you donât like the guy? Yeah, kinda.â
I huffed. âWell, the feelingâs probably mutual. I just donât think heâs good enough for her. Honestly, Iâm not sure anyoneâs good enough for Faith. Sheâs just one of those people, you know? Sheâs almost too good to be true.
