11.

Lacey wasn’t herself. At least it didn’t feel like she was really in control.

Maybe Shane was right and she was trying to lose herself in sex.

But that felt wrong. There was no parallel between what was going on around them and her attraction to this man. They were two completely unconnected things. If she could have chosen when it would be convenient to fall into lust over a man, it sure as hell wouldn’t be now or him.

If her travels had taught her anything, it was that she didn’t always get to choose the destination or the journey. She hadn’t chosen Shane, he was just part of her. She wanted him. With no rhyme or reason, this man called to a part of her soul no one else had ever touched before. From that first infuriating moment, when he’d hauled her deaf ass out of the compound, she’d had a thing for him. It made no sense, they weren’t alike, he wasn’t her type, and yet—Shane spoke to her in a way no other person had. Their connection was real, honest and deep.

And because this boneheaded man thought he knew better, they’d never figure out what that mysterious spark was.

She pulled against his grip on her wrists once more then gave up.

If he didn’t want her, then he didn’t deserve her. She’d never before fought for a man’s attention, and she wouldn’t now. Even for him.

Shane bent his arms, lowering his big body a bit. The weight of him pressed her deeper into the mattress, making it harder to breathe. But he was there. In the darkness it was nearly impossible to make out his face, to figure out what he was thinking by the creases around his mouth and the way he looked at her.

The closer he came, the more aware of him she became.

Was this his goodbye?

If it was, he sucked at letting a girl down easy.

He kissed the tip of her nose.

She started, surprised by the almost playful touch.

His lips brushed her cheek and then the corner of her mouth. It was an uncharacteristic and tender gesture from this tough-as-nails man.

She turned her face toward him, wanting more.

Okay, she’d probably beg a little, if she thought she could change his mind. Not a lot, just a tiny bit. Couldn’t he see this wasn’t normal? This spark didn’t happen every day.

“This is a very bad idea,” he whispered.

“I think it’s a very good idea.” She lifted her head and found his lips with hers.

“Lacey.” He made her name sound like both a curse and a plea.

“Please? Shane?” She eased back so she could see as much of him as possible.

There was something he wasn’t saying. She could feel it in his tense muscles, the way his body went stiff in a non-pleasurable manner. Was he afraid of something? Was there a reason why this was a bad idea?

“I don’t want to be someone you regret,” he said slowly, his voice strained.

Oh, wasn’t that a punch in the gut?

Lacey knew what that was like, to be the regret.
