“Patience,” she whispered and kissed just below his navel.
Shane groaned and leaned his head back into the pillow. “You’re killing me, Emma.”
“At least you’ll die happy.”
His chuckle was strangled by a moan when she dragged her tongue down his happy trail and nuzzled his cock with her nose. She wrapped a hand around his long, thick length, stroking him several times before dropping her mouth to the purple head. He tasted salty and uniquely Shane.
“Fuck, Emma. Damn. Your mouth.” More curses filled the air as she worked her mouth up and down his shaft and a hand cupped his balls. His knuckles were white where he continued to hold onto the headboard. He lifted his head from the pillow and his gaze met hers as she moved over him. Having Shane under her spell made Emma heady with power. Lust roared through her blood and made her clit weep for his touch.
“Emma, stop. I want to be inside you.”
She released him from her mouth and, moving like a cheetah on the run, Shane shifted their positions. Braced on his elbows above her, he leaned down and captured her mouth once again. One hand moved down to her clit and he stroked the bundle of nerves until she teetered on the edge.
Tilting her hips, she moved against him, telling him what she needed without words. He broke off the kiss and leaned over to grab a condom from the nightstand. Once sheathed, he teased and rubbed against her slick entrance. She jerked from the overstimulation, but managed to hang on. The next time she came, she wanted the sensation of him inside her.
“Since I’ve been in Madison Ridge, you’re the only woman I can think about. You’ve monopolized my thoughts ever since I walked into Maggie’s Diner.”
She swallowed the intense emotions rising in her throat and wrapped her legs around his waist. “Then what are you waiting for?”
The words barely left her lips before Shane slid his length inside her, filling her, leaving no space between them. Every touch, every movement was heightened by the desire that burned like an inferno between them. His eyes held hers as his hips moved against her in a rhythm designed to make her crazy. “Look at me, Emma. I want to see your eyes when you come apart this time.”
She couldn’t have looked away if her life depended on it. Every one of her nerve endings stirred and tingled as the pressure built low in her core. He lifted one of her legs to his shoulder, changing the angle to where he was deeper inside her. His hips picked up the pace and the storm building inside her left her panting every time he hit that magic spot inside her.
When she broke apart, her mouth opened on a silent cry, the edges of her vision dimmed, and shivers ran down to her toes. Shane grunted, and with one last thrust into her, he stilled, his cock twitching with his release inside her.
Under her hands, Shane’s chest heaved from exertion. She wanted to cling to his strength, never letting go. With his face buried in her neck and his heart beating against hers.
Oh, her heart. Emma had a sinking feeling it didn’t belong to her any longer.

Put Me Back Together
“It looks blue.”
Emma stood next to Amelia, staring at the half-painted wall in front of them, frowning. “It’s supposed to be gray.”
