“So, you’re coming? Both of you?”
“Who’s coming where?” I hear a deep voice behind me. I turn to see Dane, the shop owner and Tori’s brother standing behind us with his arms folded across his chest. A deep scowl lines his face as he looks me over.
“Your sister is coming to River City with Maddox,” I tell him without hesitation.
“Now wait a minute,” she huffs. “I never agreed to that.”
I flash her a big grin as I get to my feet. “But you will, Darlin’,” I tell her as I place a kiss over her mouth.
I hear her brother growl behind me, but he doesn’t make a move.Good boy.
I saunter my way back out of the shop. Another smile crosses my lips when I hear the click of her heels following behind me. “Who do you think you are?” she yells behind me when we are out on the street.
I whirl around quickly taking her by the waist as I press her against the side of the building. I kiss her again. This time much deeper sliding my tongue over her lips. She parts on a gasp as she tries to push me off, but I don’t move. I deepen the kiss further until the hands that are trying to push me away, bring me closer as her tongue begins to tangle with mine.
After minutes or hours, I’m not really sure, I pull away. “All I’ve been able to think about are these lips,” I tell her with a pant.
“I can’t believe you came all the way here to make sure I come with Maddox,” she says as she tries to catch her breath.
“Darlin’, I came here to make sure you get on the plane with Maddox. I’m the only one who will be making you come.”
“Oh my God, you’re really full of yourself,” she laughs. “Are you always so cocky?”
“I’m not cocky, Darlin’. I just know what I want and go after it.”
“Until you’re done with them?”
I cock my head a little at her. I narrow my eyes at her insinuation. “I’m not just going to fuck you and toss you aside, Tori.”
“I’m fine with a little fun, Zane," she shrugs with a smile. "I just like to know the score.”
I run my hand up her shoulder to her neck while pressing my forehead to hers. “I don’t know the score. I just know I can’t stop thinking about you. I haven’t felt anything like this in a very long time.”
She smiles at me. “Well, I haven’t done much besides think about you too. It’s kind of been a distraction.”
“I have to go,” I tell her with a groan.
“You came here for five minutes just to get back on a plane.”
“Needed to give you your ticket,” I smirk.
She tosses her head back with a laugh. “You’re a little bit crazy, Zane Valen.”
“Never claimed to be anything else, Darlin’.”
Tori
I lean back on the sofa of the shop with my arm thrown over my eyes. I am so not feeling being here today, but I have a ton of appointments after being gone for several days.
“How was your trip?” Stitch asks as he plops down beside me.
I let out a groan. “Don’t ask,” I tell him.
I do not want to rehash the trip. It started out wonderfully. Zane picked us up at the airport, and ushered us straight to his penthouse, which was fabulous by the way. Jax brought me the dress that Zane probably spent a small fortune on. It was red and beautiful and fit like a glove.
Zane looked like he literally oozed sex from his pores in the tux he wore, in spite of his fidgeting with it. He smelled like sex too. Spice and musk and all things delicious. God, he even sounded like sex with that sexy voice of his whispering all sorts of things in my ear.
I had no idea the night was going to take a turn like it did. I had no idea I was going to walk up on some guy attacking Zoey. Now I sit on a very dangerous secret because she begged me not to say anything to her brother or Jax.
