BEA WAS ABOUT to lose her mind. She had already experienced some kind of whiplash, coming here hoping to seduce him and finding him like this.

And now he was accusing her of being his sister.

Dane had no idea. No idea at all. She remembered what it had been like to walk into the hospital and see him after that injury. Looking like he was dead.

And he didn’t know that she had to lie to get in there. That she had to claim to be his sister. And she had to care for him like a sister. That’s what she’d been doing. All this time. And she was tired of it. She didn’t love him like someone loved a brother. She loved him like a woman loved a man. Wanted him that way.

And she was sick of it. Sick of keeping constant vigil by him like a concerned family member when that was not what she was.

He was hurting. Hurting emotionally, but it was a lot of the same as it had been that day in the hospital, and she was sick of being able to offer only this kind of comfort. She wanted to touch him. That was what he needed. She wanted to soothe him in a completely different way than she was allowed to. And she was tired of it.

So, so very tired of it. Of everything. Of him being so beautiful and so out of reach. Of wanting all these things she couldn’t have. Of feeling like everything—absolutely everything—she wanted was something she somehow couldn’t or shouldn’t have.

A shame to push down deep and go unacknowledged. She couldn’t do it. Not anymore. Not with him. And what the hell did it matter, anyway? He wasn’t going to be what she wanted him to be, what she wished deep down he could be, so who cared what he thought?

Right now staring down into the gorgeous futility that was Dane Parker, she found she didn’t care at all.

She’d come here to get him to listen. To get him to understand that she wasn’t some fragile flower. Wasn’t a glass that was going to shatter on the floor.

Telling him wasn’t enough.

She’d have to show him.

“Sit down,” she said again, heat like a prickling rash over her skin.

“Or what?”

There was only one answer. Only one thing to do.

And that was to follow through with what she came here for in the first place.

It took her a moment to realize she was actually acting on it, not just thinking about it. It was the moment her fingertips connected with his cheek that she became fully aware of it. When that heat and lightning flowed through her fingertips like a powerful shock wave. When she felt that hot, smooth skin made prickly in places by the evening growth of beard.

That was when she fully realized what she was doing. And that was when she knew there was no turning back. She leaned in, her eyes meeting his, and there was a fierceness there in his expression, but he didn’t tell her to stop.
