annoying buttons aside. He touched her skin, and energy bolted through her. Raw and powerful, it gripped her body and made her skin tingle. She opened her eyes. Shane made a tsking noise with his mouth.
    “You shouldn’t have done that.”
    “Done what?”
    “Opened your eyes.” He glanced at Noah. “Do you have anything down there that could keep her eyes shut?”
    Noah waved his hand. “There is always a bar towel.”
    “Yes.” Shane flashed Noah a brilliant smile and reached for the towel. “I knew there was a reason why I liked you.”
    Noah’s eyes twinkled as he returned his attention to her thighs. “Just like old times, Shane.”
    “Aye, although this time it will be better.” He grabbed the towel and winked at Kitty. “Much better.”
    A bar towel? But without sight, she couldn’t monitor their expressions or know what they were doing. Panic shot through her body. She tried to close her thighs, but Noah’s body blocked her. She stared wide-eyed at Shane. “What are you doing?”
    Shane folded the towel in his lap. “Distract her, Noah.”
    Noah bent his head between her legs. Soon his hot, wet kisses trailed along her right inner thigh. Kitty bit her lower lip and moaned as her mind fogged with desire.
    Shane tied the towel in front of her eyes. “Much better.”
    “Hey.” She tried to sit up, but the closeness of the men’s bodies held her still.
    “Trust us, love,” Noah placed her other knee on his shoulder.
    “Don’t talk, just feel.” With the makeshift blindfold secure, Shane returned his attention to her chest.
    They were right. These men were there to please her, and she needed to take advantage of that. Kitty decided to stop fighting them and enjoy the moment. It would make winning the challenge that much sweeter.
    She tried to relax, but the feel of Shane’s hand undoing her bra was so erotic that it made relaxing impossible. Both men knew where to touch her, knew what she needed to kick her libido into high gear. She arched her back and moaned as her body molded to their hands.
    “That’s more like it.” Shane’s heat penetrated her skin as he moved closer. His warm breath brushed against her ear as he spoke. “Without sight, all your other senses are heightened, and all your nerves are more sensitive.”
    Kitty gasped as he scraped his teeth along her earlobe.
    “That’s it, little kitten. Just let yourself go.” He leaned over her body and covered her lips with his. The kiss started soft, and Kitty loved the feel of Shane’s smooth, firm lips against hers. Nerve endings tingled, and she wiggled with excitement underneath him, wanting to get closer. Then the kiss became harder, more demanding. He tilted his head and deepened the kiss, running his tongue along the side of hers. She opened herself to the new sensations and was swept up by his sexual energy. Kitty kissed him back, and soon they began an intimate dance of give-and-take, each stroke heightening her desire, each caress building the fire in her belly.
    She wrapped her arms around his neck and threaded her fingers in his hair. The strands felt thick and smooth, like a luxurious fur. The dull yearning intensified, as if her body were an oven rising to temperature.
    “Fuck me,” she whispered against his mouth. “Fuck me now.”
    He pulled away and kissed a heated trail along her jaw. “Not yet.”
    Everywhere he touched, she burned with longing. Kitty slid her fingers down the back of his neck and traced the corded muscles of his shoulders. She wasn’t used to her orders being denied. Instead of making her angry, it made her hotter. She was able to let go of her frustrations and live in the moment, something she hadn’t been able to do for a very long time. Shane’s deep Irish brogue sent shivers of need sparking through her body. If he had dared to deny her requests outside the limo, she’d have slapped him hard in the face, but the towel over her eyes changed everything. No longer was she the one in
