“Shh. I got you. I’ve given you what you wanted. Now let me look after you properly. Please.”

I’m exhausted.

And I don’t want him to let go.

We’ve already crossed so many lines tonight.

What’s one more?

He opens the shower door and carries me inside, still holding me close as he steps under the warm spray.

“Ugh. That’s so nice,” I moan.

“Hallie,” he warns.

His cock twitches against me, and my eyes go wide.

He sets me down on my feet, facing him.

I look up as the water drips over his face, those green eyes burning into mine.

I can’t help myself.

I forget everything.

I push up onto my toes, wrap my arms around his neck, and kiss him.

Not full of hate.

Not full of pain.

But passion.

Just like we had.

Chapter 86

CONAN

Song- The Night We Met, Nath Brooks.

The way she’s kissing me is putting another part of my heart back together.

As hot as that was back there, it wasn’t us.

That was the old Conan—the one who didn’t give a fuck. Not the man obsessively in love.

The side of me she brought out, the part I didn’t even know existed. But it’s there, and it’s only for her.

I let her control the kiss, my hands sliding down her tight waist.

Maybe for the rest of the night, we can just be us again.

Maybe I should show her the softer side of me. Make love to her, rather than fuck her.

“Can we change the rules, darlin’?” I cup her face.

“To what?” she whispers.
