That little act seemed to have convinced Gregg because in the next moment, he began to speak about something else and they were both laughing in no time, and yet, Zane refused to loosen his hold on my shoulders. If Gregg found this weird, he didn’t indicate. My stomach was clenching and unclenching and I was focused on breathing steadily but unfortunately my mind was being flooded with all that we did two nights ago and my breathing kept getting choppy.

Thankfully, a call came in for Zane and he went to the corridor to answer it. That left me alone with Gregg and when he arched a brow my way, I flushed all the way to my roots and rushed into the kitchen, mumbling something about needing to get more beer for us. Truly, I didn’t want to be with gregg alone right now cause he wasn’t stupid. He’d definitely have a lot of questions and I wouldn’t know how to respond to them. I was also here cause I needed to pull myself together.

I remained against the counter, breathing in and out, and after some minutes, I felt calm and in control again, then I opened Gregg’s fridge to get some beer out, and that’s when I heard footsteps in the doorway of the kitchen.

“No questions, Gregg. Please.” I sighed out as I closed the fridge, but on turning around, I was met with the sight of Zand in all his glory and at once, my mouth dried up as I blinked at him in the doorway. His black shirt looked smaller than it looked back in the sitting room, it stretched over his muscles deliciously and I felt my stomach clenched a little as our eyes met.

“Hi.” I squeaked out, watching with bated breath as he slowly stepped into the kitchen and made his way towards me.

“Hi, bunny,” he murmured and my face instantly flamed as my heart flipped around in chest.

“N–no nicknames here.” I tried to say in a stern voice, but my voice wavered when he stopped before me and placed a hand on the fridge, right above my head, as he stared down at me with an arched brow.

He snorted as he responded. “I can do whatever I want, bunny. Are you forgetting?”

My eyes widened just as he grasped my chin and jerked my head up. “Besides, you act like you hate that nickname when it’s the complete opposite. I remember your walls clenching around me whenever I called you that.”

My mouth fell open and a wave of embarrassment came over me while my entire body grew hot. I tried to speak a few times but no sound came forth.

“What do you want?” I finally managed while my stomach tightened with desire. He was standing so close to me right now and I wanted nothing more than to be kissed stupid by him right now. His eyes dragged over my face then down my body and back to my face.

“You know what I want,” he responded smoothly and my eyes widened as heat flooded my face again.

“Y–you can’t be serious, Zane.” I snapped, trying to glare at him but I knew I failed when he laughed softly.

“And why is that?” He demanded and I felt tongue tied at first but I was determined to push through despite
