Kieran’s hot hand burns against my lower back, taunting me with everything he’s capable of before he dips me.

Blood rushes to my head as I flip it back, but that isn’t the most shocking thing because…

“We’re alone,” I whisper once he’s righted me again and my gaze finds his.

Kieran’s eyes blaze with heat.But there is more than just that, there’s an apology, a promise. Everything I’ve craved.

“Is that right?” he muses, pressing our bodies closer.

“You planned all this?”

“Maybe.”

I shake my head. “You learned the tango for me.”

“Trust me, this right now is no hardship.”

I don’t know where Maria and the others have gone, but I don’t care.

Ducking lower, he brings his lips within touching distance of mine, making my heart beat even harder.

“I’m sorry for all the things I said. I was angry and hurting and?—”

“I’m sorry for not telling you everything. But I promise you, nothing ever happened between?—”

“I know. Can you forgive me?”

“Kieran,” I breathe. “I’ll always forgive you.”

“Good, because I’ll fuck up. I know I will. I won’t mean to, but?—”

“So will I. I’ll probably be needy, and get jealous, and I’ll?—”

“You’ve got nothing to get jealous over, baby. You’re the only woman I see. It’s been that way for quite some time now.”

“Argh,” I cry when he suddenly moves, spinning me around him. “You’re really good at this.”

“Who do you think Brax’s first partner was?”

I still for a moment when he positions me in front of him.

I blink at our reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirrors before us.

My cheeks are flushed, my chest is heaving, and my eyes are sparkling with happiness and desire. And that’s only made worse when Kieran drags his hands up my sides.

Brax always stopped on my ribs, but Kieran…he goes all the way.

A filthy moan rips from my lips as he squeezes my breasts, forcing my head to fall back against him.

“Y-you’re kidding, right?”

He gives me a megawatt smile.

“Yeah, Luck. I am. Fuck, you’re hot.”

With his eyes still locked on mine in the mirror, his lips descend on my shoulder.

His kiss is electric.
