“How could you do that to me? To all of us?” Emotion clogs my throat. “How could you sacrifice yourself like that?”

Furious tears spring to my eyes. I’m so sick of crying, I want to scream.That there is any kind of moisture left in my entire body defies the laws of human anatomy.

Finn smiles at me, knowing and warm, which only vexes me further. “Come here,angel.”

Just those three little words throw sand on the fire in my belly.

I want to stay angry at him, but it’s hard to stay mad when Finn was willing to sacrifice everything to keep me safe.

Shane’s ultimatum glares at me in the back of my mind.

Tearing my gaze from his, I waltz over to the door and peer out into the hallway. Empty.

I engage the lock.

When I return to his bedside and peel off my clothes, I can practically feel Finn’s gulp in my own throat. My eyelids droop low, arousal spiking inside me like a sugar rush.

This time is different. For three very serious reasons.

One, even if I haven’t told him yet, I’m in love with Finn.

Two, in his current state, he can’t manhandle me the way he usually does in the bedroom. He can barely sit up on his own.

And three, for the first time ever in the whole course of our brief relationship, all the power belongs to me. I can dowhateverI want with this ridiculously handsome enforcer.

Lust spreads like wildfire through Finn’s hungry eyes.

I climb back on the bed, careful not to jostle him.

The intensity on Finn’s face spells anger and frustration. How have I infuriated him this time?

The thought traps a giggle in my throat. When did antagonizing him get so fun?

After planting my knees on either side of his waist, the fingers of his good hand dig into my right thigh. My palms press into the mattress above his shoulders while I suspend my face just above his.

“I’ve never played doctor before.”

The fire in his eyes burns hotter. “Shut up and bring those lips down here.”

Anger over his harebrained actions still simmers beneath the surface, so I ignore his command. “Apologize first.”

When he doesn’t reply, I settle into his lap. Finn shudders. His eyes droop to half-mast, and I know why. His erection is sandwiched between us andholy sausage.That thing is hard enough to set off a metal detector.

Heat pools between my legs. I want him inside me so badly, I’m close to whimpering, but I refuse to let myself react.

Not when he owes me an apology. I’m prepared to tease and torture it out of him.

“Don’t you realize how worried we all were?Me.” I swivel my naked hips against the thin material of his trousers. His fingers tighten on my thigh. “Your dad. Cian. Rory. Darren?—”

Finn growls, fury blazing in his eyes. “Don’t youeversay another man’s name while naked in my presence again.”

Something smug curves my lips. “Or what? You’ll punish me again?”

I rock my hips forward, tracing the length of his shaft with my hot, wet heat. The sensation shoots a jolt of pleasure throughout my body.

I moan. Until this moment, I didn’t realize the extent of my hunger for him.

He removes his hand from my thigh and cups my bare breast, rolling my nipple and forcing a surprised squeak out of me.
