He nodded, gaze fixed on hers.
Anything else? she prompted.
Yeah.

Yeah.
He leaned forward and kissed her. His weight settled toward her, leaning her back against the door, and she felt all the strength and breath go out of her body, replaced with a quivering, golden vibration. Oh. Shanes lips were warm and damp, soft but demanding, and she heard herself make a sound like a whimper in response. His hands knew just where to hold herone at the back of her head, one at the small of her back, pulling her closer. Fitting their bodies together.
It felt so good, it was like swimming in sunlight. Her fingers tangled in his soft, shaggy hair and traced down his back, and for a wild second she imagined what it would be like, right here, right now, in Eves big car. It seemed to go on forever, a dreamy eternity of heat. . . .
His hands slipped down her shoulders, traced her collarbone, then moved lower. She heard herself make a sound that was more a whine than anything else, a naked plea, as the heat of his touch reached the top edge of her bra, slid past the edge and down. . . .
Shane broke the kiss with a gasp, leaning his cheek against hers. The sound of his breath in her ear made her shiver again. So close. God, were so close. . . .
Wedbetter go inside, he said. It sounded like he was fighting hard to sound normal, but he was missing by a mile, and when he sat back, all she could see was the hot focus in his eyes, and his damp, reddened, totally kissable lips. She wondered what he was seeing in her, and realized with a shock that it was probably the same thing.
Shared hunger.
Yeah, she said. She didnt sound normal, either. She wasnt sure she could walk, in fact; her whole body felt like it had melted, especially around the knees. She took in a couple of deep breaths, then stopped when Shanes eyes focused on the rise and fall of her chest. We shouldgo shop.
Shane checked his watch. No, we should get the hamburger, throw money at the cashier, and break every speed limit back to the house if we dont want Michael calling out the SWAT team.
That sobered them up, enough to get them out of the car and into the store, but they held hands the whole way.
