“I know you said that, but I get bored.”

“Call Conor or the twins. I’m sure they’ll keep you busy,” he winks at me.

“Oh, I know. But what about the rest of the time?” I sigh dramatically. “And I have a beautiful pink string bikini that I’ve still not worn.”

Shane glares at me. He is aware I have such a bikini, because he bought it for me. It is indecent bordering on the obscene, and I have no intention of wearing it anywhere other than at the rooftop pool back home in New York.

“You brought that here?” he asks with a frown.

“Hmm?” I screw my face up as though I’m deep in thought. “Actually, I don’t think I packed it.”

He arches one eyebrow at me as he fixes his cufflink. “Do you try and grind my gears on purpose?”

“You know that I do,” I grin at him.

He sits on the bed beside me and grabs my chin in his strong hand, his eyes narrowed as he stares at me. “You looking for another spanking sweetheart?”

“Well the one you gave me the other day was pretty tame. For you anyway.”

“Oh really?”

“Really,” I purr. “You know I can take much more than that.”

“Hmm.” He leans down and gives me a soft kiss on the lips that makes my insides melt like warm butter.

I snake my arms around his neck. “Stay with me today.”

“I would love to, but I can’t, sweetheart,” he replies with a frown as he brushes my hair back from my face. “I’ve still got plenty to do before we go home.”

“Anything I can help with?”

He shakes his head. “Not really. But I appreciate the offer.” He sucks in a breath. “Please stay in the room today. And then tonight, I am all yours. And if you want that pretty ass of yours spanked hard, I am very up for that.”

Heat surges between my thighs at the thought. “With your belt?”

“With anything you want, Hacker,” he growls as he kisses me again.

“Can we go out too? I know you’re going to let me drive that car some time, right?” I bite on my lip, trying to appear as seductive as possible.

“We’ll see,” he growls. “My uncle is in town. I’m hoping to catch up with him today. I’d like for you to meet him. Maybe later?”

“Is he as lovely as your Aunt?”

That makes him laugh out loud. “Lovely is not how I’d describe him, but he is certainly interesting.”

“I like interesting.”

“I’m sure you’ll like him,” he winks at me. “But I got to go.” He untangles himself from me and stands up. Grabbing his suit jacket from the chair, he shrugs it on. “Behave yourself and I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“I’ll miss you,” I flutter my eyelashes at him.

He glares at me for a few seconds, those incredible green eyes of his ablaze with fire, then he stalks toward the bed in two strides and pushes me back, lying on top of me with the full weight of his body. He threads his fingers though mine and pins my hands either side of my head before he presses his lips over mine and kisses me so fiercely that my head spins. Our tongues swirl together and I spread my thighs wider so he drops between them. I feel his cock hardening through the duvet. I whimper into his mouth and it sends him into a fervor as he deepens our kiss.

When he finally lets me up for air he stares into my eyes. “I love you,” he whispers.

I blink away a tear. “I love you, too,” I breathe.

“I’ll see you tonight.” Then he kisses my nose and pushes himself off the bed and I watch his fine ass as he heads for the door and walks out without looking back again.





Chapter 16





Shane





I walk through the parking lot of The Peacock Club and look around at the cars parked up outside. From the shiny BMWs to the Audis, it seems like most of Sean O’Connor’s men have turned up for this meeting today, as well as the arrogant prick himself. My brothers and I have just bought a chain of these clubs. They are a little different to what we usually deal in, but when I heard they were for sale, my interest was piqued. They cater to a very particular clientele. Sex clubs, I think most people would call them, but from my research I have discovered they are so much more than that. And now my brothers and I own six of them across the world. I can’t deny that Jessie influenced my decision, not that she knows about them yet, but I can’t wait to take her to one of them some day.

The club is closed during the day, so it’s the perfect spot to do a little business while I’m here. The manager opened up for me half an hour ago and has now left to allow me the run of the place undisturbed.

I open the double doors and walk down the hallway. I don’t know what I’d expected the place to look like, but it wasn’t this. It is tasteful and elegant, with muted colors and chrome and glass. I suppose I’d been expecting leather and red paint. There are huge mirrored doors at the end of the hallway which I assume lead into the main club area. Someone leans against the wall just in front of them. I haven’t seen him for twenty-five years and he has a long beard now, but I would still recognize him anywhere. He grins at me as I approach and I smile back. “What the fuck are you doing here?”
