His eyes raked over me, my clothes bedraggled, my face more than likely a mottled mess, but I saw a fire burn in his eyes.
Neither of us said it outright, but the words had a meaning. A meaning I hadn’t quite registered until now. Did he mean, was he trying to imply there was something beyond the norm that would see Eric stay out of a jail? The real question was, would I do it?
I blinked, my pulse raced, and my lips parted as he sat down beside me. The heat in his eyes, the way he looked at me, told me that I had to make a decision and make it fast. Sleep with him to keep my brother out of jail, if that was at all possible now, or throw it all away and take my chances.
David infuriated me, he was so hard and unbending, but right now, something had broken through those walls of his. Was it only want? With my eyes locked on his I watched him sit down carefully, as though he were afraid I’d bolt, and I began to wonder about this whole ludicrous situation. Would this man, this cop sworn to protect his town, really make this kind of an offer? Had I misunderstood?
His eyes fell to the area around my lips as the tension in the room increased, the hunger there making my body tingle in response despite my recent dislike. I responded to him, despite my brain’s screams to run away. He drew me as he had from the moment I’d met him. Yeah, he was breaking some rules, likely his own rules, but something had made it worth it. I’d made it worth it. I moved closer, my lips parted.

David
I staredacross at the little bundle of fury and outrage sitting at the table with me and completely lost my train of thought. She’d been a distraction for both Grant and me since she’d arrived, but she’d been cheerful every time before, almost timid even. Now, though, she had this momma-bear ferocity about her and I liked it. I really liked it.
A million thoughts zipped through my mind as she stared at me, her face going from fierce to heartbroken to hopeful in quick succession. Grant and I had plans for the man responsible for the drugs in our town, we’d been working on it for months, but I couldn’t tell her that. It was a secret mission and though I wanted to tell her we’d soon have that bastard sitting in a six by six cell, I couldn’t.
Something changed as we spoke; something shifted in my chest and moved down my abdomen, before it circled lower, spreading heat.
“Maybe?” The word came out breathless, excitement making her throat tight.
I hadn’t meant for this exchange to go this way. I’d planned to go to the chief again, to demand he let Eric go, but somehow Toni had changed the tone in the room. With a few words, with one breathless word, it all changed. I wanted to know what it was like to have those full, sweet, pink lips wrapped around my cock. I wanted to know what it felt like to have her legs around my waist as she breathed her ecstasy into my ear, her breath warm against my neck.
“Maybe, Toni.” I wasn’t even sure what I was agreeing to, all I could think about was her lips and those incredibly beautiful eyes of hers. I didn’t realize I’d moved, I hadn’t planned it, but one minute she was sitting across from me, and the next she was in my lap, nestled into my crotch as she kissed me hard and deep.
Her legs were straight out behind me, her arms wrapped around my neck as my hands plunged beneath the waistband of her worn jeans, grasping hot bare skin that felt like silk. I moaned into her mouth as I felt her breasts press into my chest, and she opened her lips, our tongues intertwined.
Her breathing was just as erratic as mine as I pressed her against the ridge in my pants, my fingers digging into the globes of her ass. I needed her. I needed to be inside of her. I stood, cradling her body against mine as I walked to the nearest wall and pressed her against it.
Desire surged through me, made me forget where I was, and what I was supposed to be doing. All I knew was the delectable taste of Toni, the gut-wrenchingly good sensation of her against me. And the way her tongue swiped against mine, sucking at it before she let it go. I knew she’d be like this, hot, eager, so ready for me to take her.
I know she thinks I hate her, but the reality couldn’t be any further from the truth. Grant and I had no secrets from each other and he couldn’t understand why I was so adamantly against her. He knew the reason why I had to keep her at a distance now, we’d talked about it before I went to pick her up. She consumed me from the first moment I laid eyes on her and right now that was dangerous. She was a distraction I could not afford to have if we wanted to put that bastard drug dealer behind bars for good.
I forgot all of that though the moment that soft little ‘maybe’ had slipped from her lips. Lips made for kissing, for sucking my cock. I groaned as the image flitted through my brain once more and pressed into the heat between her thighs. She was so hot, and even through her jeans I could feel how damp she was. She wanted it, and she wanted it just as much as I did.
“David, I... oh.”
Grant walked into the room, but that didn’t stop me. Beneath me, Toni stilled, her face turned to look at him, but I pulled her back to my lips. I could see the panic in her eyes as I dared her to let me kiss her some more. Would she catch on? Would she figure out that we came as a duo?
I heard Grant settle into one of the chairs behind us as Toni stared into my eyes, shock making her tense. We’d been caught by the other man she’d kissed last week. We’d been caught on the verge of the best fuck of her life, maybe even mine. What would she do now? I waited, a dirty smile twisting my lips.
“I dare you,” I whispered against her cheek before I moved back to her lips and pressed mine to hers.
