He immediately opens for me, and the soft sigh he lets out when I gently brush my tongue over his bottom lip sends a wave of that elusive happiness through me.
Shane is mine, and he will always be mine.
He tilts his head to the side to deepen the kiss, and every soft press of his lips and gentle swipe of his tongue is like coming home, like we were always going to end up here, and like he was made for me.
Kissing has never really been a thing for me. It was always just something I did and not something I enjoyed. But with Shane, it’s completely different. I don’t just like kissing him, I fucking love it, and the possessive bastard in mereallyloves that I’m the only guy who’ll ever get to have him this way.
Before things can go from sweet and gentle to hot and heavy, I pull back, making sure to give him one more nipping kiss before we break apart.
His eyes slowly flutter open, and he blinks a few times as he stares at me with a look of awe and wonder, and I know deep down that he’s never looked at anyone else like that before.
“Wow.” He smiles as color floods his face. “That was a hell of a first kiss.”
“It was,” I say with a grin. “Your blush seems to agree.”
“Ugh,” he groans dramatically and rubs his hand over his cheek. “I swear you’re the only person who can make me blush,” he accuses teasingly.
“Now imagine how much you’ll be blushing later when I have my mouth on other parts of you.”
He rolls his eyes, but his grin is wide and bright and so damn happy it makes more of those good feels ripple through me.
Jax was right; making the person you love happy really is the most satisfying feeling in the world.
“Not to kill the mood, but what are we going to do about Dan?” he asks, his eyes clouding over.
“What do you want to do about it?”
“What are our choices?”
“We have all the evidence we need to turn him in, and I’m sure Carter and the others will be able to find more in his room and his devices. And I’m guessing his older brother was the original mole, and he just took up the mantle now that he’s the one who’s here.”
His eyes darken. “His brother is the one who was blackmailing KJ. He’s the one who threatened to out my brother to extort him, and then Dan tried to make me think you were going to do the same thing and that you were the one who was behind all of this. But why?”
“Why would Dan try to frame me?”
He nods.
“No clue. But I’m guessing he thought he could sow some discord between us and get us off his tail. I doubt he knows about me, but he knows I don’t have any issues dealing with people who piss me off, and you’re not the most rational person when you’re pissed off. He might have thought that one of us would end up seriously hurting or even killing the other, and that it would shake up the leadership if we couldn’t work together.”
“What’s the other option if we don’t turn him in?”
“I’ll kill him,” I say simply. “And I’ll hunt his brother down and make sure he gets his too.”
Shane grins. “It’s fucked up that you saying you’ll kill people who wronged me is so damn hot.”
“You’re a freak like me, admit it.”
He leans in and presses a soft kiss against my lips. “I admit it. I’m a freak like you.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“I want you to kill both of them, but we should turn them in. This is bigger than just us, and who knows if there are more people involved or how deep this really goes.”
I nod. “A wise and mature decision. Can I at least teach him a lesson before we do? Nothing permanent, just to remind him what happens when you fuck with me and mine.”
Shane grins. “Only if I get to be there and remind him too.”
“Deal.” I take his hand and lace our fingers together. “This doesn’t feel weird. I always assumed it would.”
