need, while I shattered around him. And as I relaxed slightly, my muscles still quivering, he thrust again, and again, and again until he echoed my cry, burying his face in my neck, his breathing ragged.
We stayed locked together against the door, hanging on to each other. The entire scenario felt surreal. The apartment on the other side of the door had been mine for a time, and while I didn’t live there anymore, my bed was still in there, along with some other items we’d never moved. Would it have been so hard to just make it through the threshold? I started to giggle.
“What’s so funny, pretty witch?” Kane asked, releasing me long enough to gently slip out of me and set me back on my feet.
“Us. There’s a bed about five feet away on the other side of the door.”
He gave me his sexy half grin as he buttoned up his jeans. “Where’s the fun in that? We have a bed at home.”
I shook my head, amused and still slightly aroused by the thought that we’d just had sex in a not-so-private place.
“I didn’t hear you complaining,” he continued as he trailed his fingers along my jawline, staring at my lips.
“No, you didn’t.” And dammit if the look he was giving me didn’t make me want to start all over again. I traced his lower lip with my index finger ever so lightly and then leaned in, catching it gently between my teeth.
His arms came around me as he plastered me to him, his mouth opening and claiming mine. And then—
“Excuse me,” a female voice said.
Chapter 8
Kane and I broke apart like two teenagers caught making out in the basement.
“Sorry,” the tall blonde said, her face turning a dark shade of red. “I heard a noise and thought…oh, never mind. I just wanted to make sure everyone was okay.”
I stepped behind Kane and busied myself straightening my clothing.
Kane, on the other hand, stood with a relaxed posture, regarding the woman. “Yes, we’re more than okay.”
“Kane,” I whispered harshly and poked him in the back.
He glanced back at me, his incubus charm oozing from his welcoming eyes. Damn him. “Zoe, right?” he said to the woman as she started to descend the stairs.
She paused on the second step. “Yes. I just moved in a few days ago. Two-B.”
“Hi,” I said over Kane’s shoulder. “I’m Jade. Sorry for, ah…disturbing you.” I cut an irritated glance at Kane. “I didn’t even know the building had tenants right now.” Last I’d heard, the two apartments on the second floor were being remodeled. And the one on the other side of the door still had a lot of my stuff in it.
Her lips curled into a smile, but she bit down on her lower lip, trying to hide it. “That would explain a lot.”
“Sorry, love,” Kane said, tugging me out from behind him. “Pyper told me she rented one of the places a few days ago, but with everything going on, I forgot all about it.” He walked over to the gorgeous woman and held his hand out. “I’m Kane. It’s nice to meet you.”
She hesitated, but then clasped her hand around his and shook. “Nice to meet you.” They stared at each other for a just a moment longer than was really comfortable. I was about to say something, anything to break whatever weird connection they had going on, when Kane suddenly let go and took a step back.
Zoe stared at her hand and frowned.
“What happened?” I whispered to Kane.
He shook his head and whispered back, “Not now.”
Zoe’s head snapped up. “What are you?”
He and I exchanged a startled glance.
“Excuse me?” Kane said mildly, although suspicion was flowing from him with enough force to rival the Mississippi river. “What am I?”
“Uh…I meant, who are you? Do you live here?”
“Oh, no,” Kane said, his shoulders relaxing. “My wife and I own the building. Technically I’m your landlord, but Pyper usually takes care of everything.”
He’d said my wife and I own the building . A stupid smile claimed my lips. I didn’t know why those
