I also worried that he'd lose respect for her or even blame her, and it hadn't been her fault. As a cop, he would've insisted on pressing charges and the scandal would have destroyed my mother. That was one of the reasons I never told him about what happened to me. I thought my dad might still love my mom. Beautiful, charming, and obsessive-compulsive."
"I'd like anyplace in the world as long as you're there." He waited a beat, then asked, "How's your mom?" As much as I miss SoCal, Manhattan is really awesome. "You're coming to New York?" I couldn't hide my excitement. Maybe I'll check it out and we can compare notes when I come out to visit you." "One of the guys on the force is big on it. "That reminds me.I'm going to start Krav Maga training." I get through it by telling myself you're too smart to take chances, thanks to two parents who've drilled safety rules into your DNA." "Some nights I wake up in a cold sweat thinking about you in New York.
Cary and I went clubbing, and I woke up with a mean hangover." "Yeah, I had a little too much last night. But you need to make sure you have some downtime, too. I'm happy going to work every day, and I'm bummed when it's time to go home." "And the vibe of the agency is very energetic and kind of quirky. "I really like my boss, Mark," I finished. I went over my days from Monday through Friday, skipping over all the Gideon parts. Now his home in Oceanside was the entire country away. For the last four years we'd lived close enough to see each other at least once a week. I caught you." I adjusted my grip on the phone receiver and pulled up a stool at the breakfast bar. I want to f**k you while you're wearing nothing else." "Seven o'clock, Eva." He reached down and touched my ankle, his fingertips caressing the diamond anklet I'd put on in preparation for the evening. He closed my robe then stood, staring down at me. I hung lax and pliable in his grip while he took my mouth with suppressed violence, bruising my lips and betraying how close to the edge he was. He licked each of my ni**les, and then hauled me up with his arms banded around my back. I was boneless as he straightened my leg and still breathless when he pressed kisses up my belly to my br**sts. I didn't have the strength to push him away when he returned to my cl*t and sucked I cl**axed again, gasping his name. I came a second time, my body quaking violently, tender muscles tightening desperately around his decadent licking. Then his tongue speared into me and I bit my lip to bite back a scream. He rimmed my trembling slit, teasing me, taunting me with the promise of another orgasm when I knew I couldn't have one again so quickly. But when his tongue touched my clit, fluttering over it, the hunger built again.
"No - " I pushed at his head with my hands. Through the roaring of blood in my ears, I thought I heard him speak hoarsely, but I lost the words when he hooked one of my legs over the back of the couch and covered my cleft with his mouth.
My gaze was locked to his, unable to look away, riveted by the fierce masculine triumph that flared in his eyes. I cl**axed with a thready cry, my grip white-knuckled on the sides of the cushions as my h*ps pumped onto his hand, my mind far beyond shame or shyness. Everything tightened in my core, the tension building as he massaged my cl*t and pushed his fingers in and out in a steady, unhurried rhythm.
