it.”
He nodded. “Maybe I did. But you deserve what you’ve got coming, too.”
Her head jerked up, and she met his gaze. “What do I have coming, Shane?”
Looking at her standing there, her eyes shining, her hands on her hips, her perky breasts jutting up at him as if in a challenge of their own, several replies flashed through his mind, but he bit them back. “Just you wait and see. Remember you made me a promise?”
She nodded reluctantly.
“I’m going to make you work to keep it.”
She nodded again. “Oh, don’t worry. I know it.”
He stepped closer, smiling at the way she backed away from him. He knew damn well she wasn’t scared of him. What had him smiling was the realization that she was scared of her own reaction to him. He kept coming, his smile—and his hard on—growing as she cornered herself against the counter. When he’d had her there earlier, it had taken every ounce of willpower he possessed not to kiss her, not to sit her up on the counter and spread her legs. He wasn’t sure he had any willpower left now.
He placed his hands on the counter—on either side of her hips—and leaned forward. She leaned back, looking up into his eyes. Damn, she was beautiful! Her hands came up to his shoulders, clinging to him to keep her balance as he leaned further forward. He slid his arms around her and closed his hands around her ass. Her breath was low and shallow. She was his for the taking. He stepped his feet between hers and they both moaned as he thrust his hips, pressing his cock into her heat. Her gaze was locked with his as he brought one hand up to trace her cheek. He trailed it down over her throat and made her thrust her hips into him as he teased her breast with his fingertips.
They both sprang away from each other at the sound of banging on the gallery door. Cassidy looked around wildly and Shane instinctively stepped in front of her as she made to go out front. She glared at him.
“I’m not a damsel in distress, Shane. I need to see who it is. One of the ladies probably forgot something.”
He scowled, more at himself than her. Why had he tried to protect her? Step between her and some perceived danger at the front door? He didn’t have time to come up with any answers before they heard…
“Shane? Shay-ane?”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake! What does she want now?” How in the hell had Katie found him here?
Cassidy laughed. “I think we both know what she wants. What I don’t know is why she wants it now and knows to come here to get it. Did you have her lined up for after you’d done me?”
Shane glared at her. “Don’t be crazy!”
Cassidy glared back. “You’re the one who’s crazy if you think you’re going to fuck me and then run straight out and do her as well. Get out, Shane. Go do your sure thing.”
She made for the door again, but he caught her shoulder. “Not so fast, princess.”
She whirled around, eyes blazing. “What?”
Jesus! She was scary when she was mad. And damn, did it turn him on!
“Are you forgetting your promise? You’re not going to let another woman near me for three weeks. You can’t send me out there into her clutches. You have to protect me yourself.” He had to laugh at the struggle on her face. She wanted to send to him packing, no doubt about it. But, she had a sense of honor, too. Her word was her bond; he’d seen that about her, Gina had even told him as much. He grinned at her and shrugged. “Unless your word means nothing?”
She looked as though she might explode as she stood there glaring at him. He could see she was doing battle with herself. He held his breath; this could go either way. Maybe he was pushing her beyond her limits already? After a long moment she blew out a big sigh. “I’ll keep my word, Shane, but be warned, you may live to regret it.”
That sent a shiver down his spine. He didn’t doubt she could be right, but for now he had this tiger by the tail, and he didn’t intend to let go. He
