SIXTEEN

Shane had known the very second that he had walked into the restaurant and seen Avery standing there in that same white dress she’d worn the night they met, that he had to touch her again. He had spent the last two hours talking casually, eating, drinking, doing everything that was normal and expected and appropriate. All the while having flashbacks to that dress, hiked up around her waist, her damp pussy right in front of him as he brought her to an orgasm with his tongue. He could hear the sound of her throaty cries still, feel her legs clamping onto his head. Smell and taste her arousal, and feel that tight heat of her untried body when he had thrust inside her.

It was hell to sit there, knowing that everything he had convinced himself of in the last three months—that she was nothing special, that he had been overly tired and that had heightened his arousal and emotional reaction to her—was a bunch of bullshit. She was something special. There was no way, just none, that he was going to take no for an answer no matter how many dinners with unintentional chaperone Pat he had to sit through, or how many times he had to ask, or how many devious angles he had to take to charm Avery back into bed. It was horribly ironic that the one woman who didn’t seem eager to just sheet dive with him was the very woman he wanted to get naked with repeatedly.

As he pulled her in tight, pressing her breasts against his chest and inhaling the scent of her shampoo, he wondered if it was the challenge. He didn’t like being the one left behind in a bed the morning after, he could admit that. But even as he pondered it, he knew what he was feeling went beyond that. She was the kind of woman he hadn’t encountered often and he thought she was funny, clever, and the oddest mix of confident and shy. When he kissed the side of her head, he knew he’d gone too far, but he couldn’t resist. He couldn’t even blame it on the beer. He wasn’t even remotely buzzed.

She jerked back out of his arms. “Shane, please, don’t. We’re in public.”

“So in private it’s okay, then?” He figured he could push a little further before she ran. And he wanted to push. “At least you gave me a first name again. That Mr. Hart crap was annoying. I felt like a high school teacher.”

Her cheeks were pink. “Not in public or private. There will be no touching, Mr. Hart. Period.”

He’d give her credit for sticking to her guns. “Charming,” he told her in a low, slow drawl. All the Kentucky he still had oozed back into his voice. “But you’re kicking up a fuss for no reason. You do understand what private means don’t you, Little Miss Smart Mouth?”

“I understand everything. Including the fact that you have nothing to lose and I have everything to lose.
