“Missed what?” I asked when she broke off, tensing.

“I miss you. When you’re not here. Or I’m not there. But I think maybe I shouldn’t say that, yet.”

Cupping my hand behind her head, I brought her mouth up for a kiss. “You can say anything you want to about us. I miss you when I’m not here, too. God knows, I’d like to spend every damn night buried in you. All fucking night long.”

The tiny whimper that escaped her fisted around my balls, and my stirring cock went rock hard again.

“I don’t have another condom with me,” I complained. Our first time, we’d been careless, so caught in the moment that we hadn’t used protection. Fuck, I hadn’t even bought a box of condoms since high school, so I sure hadn’t had any on hand.

Fumbling to the side, Vale grabbed a box from her bedside drawer and tossed the unopened package at me. “Got those just in case of such a situation. Better prepared…”

“Love that about you.” After quickly slipping on the rubber, I sat up against the headboard and pulled her to straddle my lap. “Love when you ride me, too.”

“Do you?”

“Yeah. Leaves my hands free to do other things.”

Lifting up, she moved over me then slowly—too slowly—sank down with a low groan. “You never seem to have trouble with your hands.”

“Maybe, I just like watching you bounce on my cock.” Still, I filled my palms with her breasts while she lifted and dropped over my dick, her sex a hot fist around my length. “God, you’re so fucking tight.”

“You’re so damn big.” Her back arched, pushing her into my palms while she rode. Her head dropped back, and she grasped my thighs for balance as I thrust up into her. As much as I wanted to play with her nipples and work them into crimson beads, I needed her coming even more. Grasping her hips, I powered her up and down, feeling her release coming as her walls flexed hard around me already trying to milk away all my cum.

“Now, bad little girl. Now,” I growled, letting go of her with one hand and pinching her clit. Vale screamed, her hands clenching tight on my legs while she tumbled over the edge into orgasm. Holding her tight, I rolled her under me, her legs dangling from the side of the bed while I stood, and fucked her hard while she came again, then rode out my own release only when she’d sagged limply into the blankets.

“Dayton,” she whispered when I pulled free.

“My Vale.” I stroked my fingers along her cheek before I headed into the bathroom to clean up. She was still sprawled in the same position, breathing evenly, when I came back and got dressed. Smiling, I moved her up onto the pillows and kissed her forehead.

“Don’t go,” she murmured.

“Have to. Come with me to Brennan’s lacrosse game tomorrow?” We’d gone out to dinner before, but this would be our first outing as a couple. I hoped she was ready for that.

“Hmm…m’kay.”

“I’ll text you to remind you,” I said, but she was already back to sleep, curling into the pillow I’d used earlier. Affection warming me, I kissed her temple then switched off the lights and headed out, taking care to lock up and activate her security system.

It was when I turned to cross to my house that I saw a car parked on the curb down the street, beneath a burnt-out streetlamp. Not uncommon, save for the faint light of a cigarette I could see through the darkness. My eyes narrowed, and I wished I had my gun on me, but before I could pull out my cell phone and head that way, the vehicle backed into the driveway behind it then drove away in the other direction with no rush.

Was it my imagination that something was peculiar? Maybe. My case had me keyed up and on edge about everything. Suspicious. Of everything. Especially since my wife had been murdered when I was deep into a similar investigation. And now, I had a new woman in my life, and I would not let history repeat itself.

Vale

The lawn mower hummed in the distance while Brennan mowed my yard and I worked on the front flowerbed, humming to myself and trying to tell myself everything was fine. The positive thought was difficult since I’d felt a prickling on the back of my neck all day, as if I were being stared at, but whenever I looked around, I didn’t see a thing out of the ordinary. The street was clear. None of my neighbors were out in their yards, no doubt enjoying their air-conditioning on this humid summer day.

It was only Brennan and me outside. Dayton had been called into work, though it was supposed to be his day off and we had planned to spend the day together.

“I’m so sorry,” he’d said. “This case…”

I couldn’t tell him I was used to it since he’d often gotten yanked into the station when situations cropped up. Apparently, things hadn’t changed over the past five years.

Instead, I’d kissed him. Of course, he took over and devoured my mouth until my knees wobbled and my core throbbed with the need for much more. A need that wouldn’t be filled anytime soon.

“Be safe. And I expect you to make it up to me,” I’d teased.

“I will,” he’d promised so earnestly I felt bad for joking. “Tonight, hopefully. I’ll text you when I can.”
