“I can think of a million reasons to say yes.”

“A million?” she asks with a flirty smile. “I’m completely preoccupied with one reason.”

“I want to do all the things with you, Abby,” I tell her, pulling back to look deep into her eyes. “Not just sex.”

“I want all the things too,” she says simply, pressing her palms against my chest. “But I was really hoping just you and me…”

That makes my cock harden instantly. “Yeah? You and me what, Abby? Tell me.”

“That you and me could get naked and I could ride you.” She swallows hard at the end of her sentence, but she doesn’t look down.

“Good girl,” I praise her. “I love that you tell me exactly what you want. Such a perfect little sexy slut, needing this big cock.”

I don’t know what has happened between her and Dash or her and Benjamin, but I can tell by the way her nostrils flare that she likes the way I’m talking to her. Her breathing has changed and she leans closer into me so that our thighs are pressed against each other. I yank the little half tuck she’s made of my jersey into her jeans so that I can slip a hand onto her bare flesh above her waist.

“Okay,” Benjamin says, returning to the table we’re standing next to. “Let’s get the hell out of here before you totally forget where you are. Or who you are. People in this town know you, remember?”

“I’d never forget.” I reluctantly remove my hand from Abby’s waist. “I love being small town famous. I get perks all over Willow Bay.” I kiss the top of her head. “Stick with me and you’ll get free bagels any day of the week.”

Abby laughs. “I do love free bagels but that’s the last on my list of reasons to be with you.”

I will not ask. I won’t. I refuse.

My brother knows me too damn well though.

“Tell Kane what’s first on your list,” he tells Abby as we start toward the front door. “And put him out of his misery. He’s dying to know but won’t ask.”

“Is that true?” Abby glances back at me. “I wasn’t trying to tease you.”

There’s that thing she does. Where she worries and apologizes and thinks she’s somehow hurt me or made things difficult for me when that’s the furthest thing from the truth.

We’re going to have to work on that shit. Together.

But right now I just say, “Ben is right. I want to know what you see in me.”

Not because I’m in any way insecure.

But because I want to know how I can make Abby happy every single damn day from here on out.

“You’re you,” Abby says with a shrug, the corner of her mouth lifting. She reaches out to lace her fingers through mine. “You’re positive and confident and encouraging and you’re larger than life. When you smile or laugh you make everyone else want to smile and laugh.”

Wow. I got more than I bargained for with that answer. I blink, both touched and turned on. “You make me sound pretty awesome.”

Benjamin holds the front door open for Abby. “He already had a big ego. This just made it grow ten times.”

“Do you want me to answer the same question about you?” she asks with a grin.

Benjamin laughs. “Later, sweetheart. This is Kane’s night.”

“It’d better be,” Abby says, her gaze darting down to my cock.

I groan. “Damn, girl.”

Dash has thankfully seen Sadie off and is waiting at the curb in our SUV. I’m guessing Benjamin texted him we’re ready to leave.

The drive home is torture, nonetheless.

With Dash driving and Benjamin in the front seat, Abby is tucked up against me in the back and I can’t help myself. By the time the SUV has pulled away from the curb, I have her jeans unsnapped and the zipper down.
