Deeper.

Fuck, yes, I can do that.

Wrapping my arm around her, my hips piston, and Adeline tips her head back, giving me full access to her slender neck. My mouth doesn’t pepper kisses but mauls her because I’m past gentle and into feral. She is everything I could’ve ever imagined and more.

Beautiful.

Sexy.

Kind.

Intelligent when it doesn’t have to do with her new dog.

And feisty.

I think that’s my favorite part about her.

Adeline clenches around me, and I groan into the column of her throat as I suck and lick, but it’s not enough.

The buildup in my balls has almost reached an impossible new height and I’m close.

So damn close.

“What am I gonna do with you, Adeline?” I pose against her skin. “You drive me crazy.”

“Anything,” she replies without hesitation, threading her fingers through my hair to keep me where I am. “I’ve had a crush on you for years, Dodger.”

Fuck me.

I pull away to look down at her. Those green eyes glossed over in pleasure and a small wave of disappointment courses through me.

We could’ve already been doing this.

I could’ve already made Adeline mine.

“You couldn’t have,” I retort, dropping my hand between her thighs and finding her swollen clit. “Don’t tell me that, AK.”

“Why? Apparently, we were both scared it was one-sided.”

She’s not wrong.

But there’s no reason to dwell on the past and give it weight anymore. We’re here, we’ve started something.

And, I’ll be damned if I let it go.

“I hope you know what you’ve gotten yourself into,” I pose over her lips, feeling a small shiver wrack through her. “I’m law and order in this town. And you’ve just got yourself a life sentence.”

I feel her lips curl into a smile. “More than happy to serve my time.”

“That’s my girl.”

Pressing my lips into hers, I roll my thumb over her clit while my other does the same over her ankle.

Her breathing hitches, and my heart slams in my chest because we’re both close just waiting for our release.

When my damn radio goes off.

“Sheriff,” Chloe drawls. “Mrs. McLowen called in over a disturbance.”
