Infinite Desire
drop her eyes immediately down to the
floor.
    Slamming
his empty bottle down onto the table beside him, Shayne focus his attention
back onto me. “If you want to get all territorial Knox, I can do that too. I
take from the way you’re talking, that Savannah hasn’t brought you up to speed
on all of the men from her past. If she had, I know you sure as hell wouldn’t
be throwing me this party tonight, and our friendship would’ve been over the
minute you two got together.”
    What
the fuck is he talking about? Did I drink more than I thought tonight and I’m
now hallucinating?
    Reaching
out to me, Savannah rests her hand on my forearm. I can feel her nerves
bubbling over as her hand shakes against my skin. The electricity that sparks
between us the moment our skin connects is overwhelming. I’ve ached for her
touch the entire time we’ve been apart, but now my feelings are all over the place.
I feel desire engulfed with a roaring fire of anger.
    Her
voice comes out shaky as she shouts over the music and chatter around us.
“Kayden please, don’t do this! Come with me please, so we can talk about this
privately.”
    I
shake my head back and forth ever so slowly, as I bring my focus back to
Shayne. “I’m not going anywhere. Not until Shayne here has his moment on his
soap box. Go on Shayne; please enlighten me on your relationship with my
fiancée!” My heart is hammering so forcefully, it feels like any second it’s
going to burst out of my chest.
    Leaning
against the table and resting his hands on either side of himself, Shayne turns
to Savannah, “Sorry doll, I won’t let him walk around acting like I’m trying to
stick my dick into his chick.”
    The
posse that’s filling Shayne’s VIP table has now focused their attention onto us
and what’s transpiring.
    “This
is fuckin’ stupid! You two need to stop this pissing contest, and get over your
freakin’ selves! You’re friends! Don’t let something so elementary come between
you two. Kayden threw you this party for Christ sake!” Brooklyn says stepping
between Shayne and me. The determination in her voice causes a knot in my
stomach.
    Raking
my fingers through my hair, and letting out a sharp breath, I step around Brooklyn,
causing Shayne to bring his attention back to me. Forcing myself between them,
I fist his t-shirt causing everyone around us to gasp. Cell phones are turning
on all around us as people begin taping our altercation.
    “Say
what it is you have to say? My patience is running thin!”
    Shayne’s
flashes a small smile up at me before reciprocating my actions, and fisting my
shirt into his hand as well. “Don’t push me Knox. I never turn down a fight no
matter who the fuck it is.”
    A
raspy chuckle escapes my mouth as Shayne’s words sink in. “I never back down
either. I’d hate to beat your ass a week before the big fight, but you keep
pushing me and you’ll leave me no other option. So say whatever the fuck you
gotta say before I knock your ass out just for the simple fact that you had
your mouth on Savannah last night.”
    Shoving
me off, Shayne releases his hold on my shirt, and then he looks at me and at everyone
who’s accumulated around us. Sliding his hand over his buzzed head, Shayne
finally begins to speak. He’s still has the same cocky grin on his face, but I
can see anger erupting in his eyes as I stand toe to toe with him.
    “You
may have Savannah now, but I had her first. I helped her sooth her broken
heart, and it was the best lay of my life. I had no idea handcuffing a woman to
my car and fucking her brains out could be so arousing. I swear I sported a
hard on for days after that. Every time I drive my car…” I can’t hear any more
of this; I need to stop the vile words that are pouring out of his mouth. Without
thinking, I connect my fist with his face.
    “You’re
fuckin’ dead!” I scream as I block a punch he throws at me after the shock of
being punched wears off. Fisting his shirt in my hands
