Excerpt:
“Do all those things I
confided in you years ago mean nothing to you?”
“Family’s
important,” she whispered. She hadn’t imagined he’d see her actions as a
betrayal of trust.
“I
remember exactly how important family is to you.” Sarcasm crept into his voice.
“A hell of a lot more important than me, definitely more important than this.”
He hooked his arm around her shoulders and hauled her across the console,
slamming his lips against hers.
Hard,
angry demands from a man who no longer cared about pleasing her contrasted
sharply with the memories of teenage sweetness and gentle tentativeness he’d
once shown. He thrust his tongue between her lips, plundering her mouth.
Instead of pushing him away and ordering him to stop, she leaned into him and
tangled her tongue with his, meeting him stroke for stroke.
The
hands gripping her shoulders relaxed, and the demanding thrusts of his tongue
turned to languid strokes. She sifted her fingers through his soft black hair.
Oh, how she’d missed being held in his arms, touching him, exploring him, and
being one with him.
But
they were hardly on their way to becoming one when he kissed her as a
punishment.
She
jerked away.
A
car horn blared.
She
straightened. Damn. She’d forgotten about Len, forgotten everything but Zane’s
hands and mouth and sweet exploration.
Blinking
out the windshield, she braced for the sight of Len laying on the horn of his
pickup. Instead, he stood across the yard, wearing padded headphones and
maneuvering a weed whip.
“If
you’re looking for the honker, I believe you’re the culprit.” Zane nodded to
her elbow resting on the steering wheel.
“Oh.”
She yanked her arm back, settling into the passenger seat and pulling the seat
belt strap. After three tries, she managed to lock the buckle into place. If
Zane noticed her shaking hands, he didn’t mention it as he pulled away from the
curb and left her house and his father behind.
If
he’d kissed her to teach her a lesson, she’d learned one thing. She still
wanted him, now more than ever.
