assured him. "Can I just read you a book?"
"Ok, mommy," he said sleepily. She grabbed a particularly boring book and started reading. He was asleep before she finished reading it once. She turned on the baby monitor and quietly closed the door. She jogged down the stairs and froze when she saw Shane standing in the kitchen, drinking a beer.
"Hey," she said, giving him a small smile.
"Hi babe," he said, leaning against the counter. "Do you want a drink?"
She shrugged and he opened the refrigerator, pulling out a beer. He twisted off the cap and handed it to her. "So how've you been?"
"Fine," she said softly. "How are you?"
"Fine."
She took a sip of her beer and studied her nails. Being around Shane was awkward. She had no idea what to say to him.
"Are you seeing anyone?"
She laughed. "What, you mean since you asked me that question last week? No, still not seeing anyone. We've only been divorced for a month."
He visibly relaxed and smirked at her. "Good."
She rolled her eyes. As if it were any of his business anyway. "Are you seeing anyone?" She countered.
He shook his head. "Bryce set me up on a blind date, but it was a disaster. She was a short brunette and dumb as a post. I'm not sure what he was thinking."
She burst out laughing. "Layla set me up too. He was a typical 'I have money so I don't need a personality' guy. He got so drunk that I had to drive him home. I'd say I don't know what she was thinking either, but I'm actually not surprised, considering her history with men. I don't know what I was thinking, letting her set me up. It was the worst date I've ever been on."
He snorted. "Didn't you go out with Camden Lawson?"
The smile fell from her face. "Once. So you helped with the yard?" She asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah. It wasn't nearly as bad as last time. Remember cleaning up the yard for the wedding? That was a nightmare."
She smiled softly, looking out the window. "We did a good job though. The wedding was beautiful."
"That was the third best day of my life."
"Why?" She asked, watching the guests mingle in the yard. She hadn't heard him come up behind her until she felt him press against her.
"That was the day I finally got to have you," he whispered in her ear.
She closed her eyes. "What were the first two?"
"Marrying you and the day Adam was born."
She spun around and stared up at him. "Shane..."
"Shh," he whispered, putting his finger to her lips. "You look so beautiful, Kainie."
She shook her head and pushed his hand away. "I can't."
"Why not?"
She burst out laughing. "Why not? Are you serious, Shane? Maybe it's because you cheated on me."
"I didn't..."
"I hate you," she snapped, pushing him away.
His eyes widened. "Don't say that."
"You were the only one I ever loved or wanted. You were supposed to love and protect me and be with me forever. You threw EVERYTHING away for one stupid whore. I fucking hate you."
He pressed her against the counter. "Shut. Up."
"Leave me alone," she said weakly.
"No," he said softly, staring down at her with hooded eyes.
"Please," she whispered.
He gently grabbed her by the hair and pulled her head back, dragging his tongue against her jaw line. "Make me," he whispered in her ear. She shut her eyes, hating the way her body reacted to him. He yanked the front of her dress down and took her nipple in his mouth. "Shane..."
"Tell me to stop," he muttered, reaching under her dress and slipping his hand in her panties.
"Someone's going to see us," she gasped. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around him. She knew she should tell him to stop, but it felt too good and had been too long. He carried her into the guest room and kicked the door shut. He lowered her to the bed and pushed her dress over her hips. She threw her head back as he tore her panties off and buried his face between her legs. She grabbed a pillow and moaned loudly into it. It didn't take more than two minutes for her to have a mind blowing orgasm. He knew her body so
