“Oh, keep your panties on straight, you overgrown asshole,” she snapped, rolling her eyes at me, and spitting out her words. “Everything is still where it was originally, just more organized. Even you, of all people, can figure out the system. Besides, I was just trying to be helpful.”

“You call that,” I pointed toward the front of the cabin, “helpful?”

“As a matter of fact, I do,” Cassie snapped.

I did a double take down the hall, finding Chase and Jasper standing in the hallway, watching me berate Cassie for her ridiculously stupid move. Another opinion they clearly didn’t share with me, and I was sure they were only standing there to make sure I kept my temper in check. Their eyes were filled with accusation and they were just waiting for me to give them a reason to come in and put a stop to the argument. Well screw them. I huffed at them and slammed the door shut and flicked the lock before facing Cassie again.

“What was that for?” she asked. “You’re not staying in here. I told you to get out. You’re invading my privacy.”

“Does it matter why I did it?” I asked. “It’s done.”

“Yes, it does. You’re ruining my bath time,” she said, eyes filled with rage. “Get out.”

I snorted. “Really? That’s the stance you’re going to take on this. What about your leg? What about the time you already spent here healing? Does that not matter? Can you not think about anything but yourself, ever?”

“I did a little house cleaning as a thank you to Jasper and Chase for helping take care of me all this time. You’re only pissed off because you are desperate to get rid of me,” she said. “Besides, you’re hardly the expert on selflessness.”

“You don’t have to be difficult on everything.,” I snapped and pinched the bridge of my nose. “Just answer my question and I’ll leave.”

“You know what? Whatever. I’m done with the bath anyway. Stand there if you want to. I don’t care anymore.” Cassie leaned forward and reached into the water. She pulled out her hand, holding onto the drain, and set it on the edge of the tub before standing up, dripping wet as water started draining out of the tub in a rush. She gripped the towel rack attached to the wall and used it to help herself out.

I held out my hand to help her, but she smacked my hand away.

“Don’t you dare touch me,” she snapped. She settled her glare on me once she was fully out of the tub, stark naked. Spots of bubbles covered her body.

My lips parted as I continued to stare at her in wonder.

She stood in front of me as though she didn’t have a care in the world that she was utterly naked. She simply faced me head-on, almost daring me to take her into my arms and screw her brains out. My dick instantly became so hard, my jeans became tight. Her bright blue eyes had darkened a few shades and her lips were pulled down at the corners.

She was beautiful, especially angry. Despite all the things I had done in an effort to push her away… never mind in an effort to prove that her presence here was more than just coincidence, none of that mattered anymore.

“Get out so I can get dressed,” she said, pointing at the door.

Jasper or Chase knocked on the door. “If you don’t listen to her and leave, I will be forced to come in there.”

Jasper’s voice filtered through the thin piece of wood separating them from coming into the bathroom. I rolled my eyes. “I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not,” he said.

“All right, fine. I’m coming out,” I said, but I couldn’t bring myself to look away from Cassie and her silky, ivory curves exposed in front of me. Her nipples were erect, an effect I was sure the cooler air had caused, but I couldn’t help wanting to touch them or put them in my mouth.

Within seconds, everything that I had fought against for damn near a month rushed forward, overwhelming my senses and every ounce of inhibition I had in me. I couldn’t stop myself. I gripped her arm and pulled her to me, closing the gap between us.

She snapped profanities at me, but I ignored them and wrapped her wet body in my arms, pulled her close, and smashed my mouth into hers. She stiffened in my arms for a moment before relaxing into me with a sigh. I couldn’t fight my desire for her any longer. I had to have her.

I was giving in.

She won.

CASSIE

I had no idea what had just happened between us. But Kai was kissing me furiously, and I kind of liked it. He was hot. But his attitude toward me had always made him less than desirable. Regardless, that didn’t seem to matter now. And the fury in the way he kissed me made him even hotter.

I shouldn’t be turned on by him. I should be terrified, but there was something in the way his arms felt around me with his lips pressed against mine that was hard to ignore. Heat filled my torso, bleeding through my body with a rush of passion. I became wet between my legs and my swollen sex throbbed with need.

When he finally removed his mouth from mine, reality came crashing back. I glared at him. “What the hell do you think you are doing? I told you not to touch me.”
