“I don’t think I could keep anything secret in my family. With Jack on the department, I don’t have much privacy at all. He’s quiet but he gossips like an old hen. I guarantee you my mother knows your name and that you were involved in the crash. And that you’ve been staying here. She’ll have us married off in no time, in her mind.”

Olivia’s eyes went wide. “Seriously?”

“Fed on by my brother’s accounts, I’m sure. And Jack tends to exaggerate. Actually, there’s a chance they’ll be down tomorrow, so you might get to meet them.”

“Cool,” she said, then rolled her eyes.

Connor grinned. “Oh, don’t be like that. They’re harmless.”

He helped her scrub, getting acquainted with her body, and when they were done, he helped her out of the shower. Very carefully, Connor toweled her down and carried her back to bed.

“I’m only letting you be He-Man right now because my sock is damp. And because I’ve been unconscious when you carried me before. You provide a nice ride, Chief Kelly.”

“Glad to be of service,” Connor said, winking at her as he circled the bed to lay down. As soon as she settled, he turned on his side and pulled her into his chest.

“Okay, you’re turning alpha. Are you done?”

He growled in her ear, making her giggle. Then he kissed down her neck to the tip of her shoulder. “Sleep good, Olivia Grant. We have a big day tomorrow.”

CHAPTER 9

Olivia slept deep and hard, and she woke laying on her side to kisses being pressed along the length of her spine. “Mm… that’s nice.”

Connor rubbed her back for a minute more, then he shifted, and she felt the head of his cock pressing at her.

“Good morning, Wood,” she said, giggling. But she arched back into him, too, her body responding to his need. One of his hands circled around her to cup her breast, and she gasped as he tweaked her nipple, then moved to the second one.

“Oh,” she breathed, arching her back for him. “That is very nice.”

Then his hand drifted down her belly. After the shower, they’d forgone clothing, so there was no impediment for his finger to slip into her slit to circle her clitoris. The bud quickened, filling with blood and sensation, and her body began to twitch as he circled her. Olivia should have been satisfied, but she was as hungry for him this morning as she had been the night before. Her body went liquid.

Connor prodded her again, and she lined up her hips with his cock. The next time he bumped up into her, he glided in a couple of inches.

“Oh, you naughty girl,” he rumbled, his morning voice sending chills down her spine. “Just a little.”

He surged into her from behind, holding her hips still. Olivia arched into him, feeling her body respond already. She was wet, that was a given. But something was fluttering deep in her belly. And as he glided in, he built that flutter until it was a pounding beat. The position should have been awkward, her facing away from him, but it was just a modified doggy style. And it didn’t hurt any of her bruises.

She knew he didn’t have a condom on, but she wasn’t going to stop him now. And by the way he was shifting behind her, she didn’t think there was any stopping him. His movements sped up, become a little frantic.

But then, he did stop. And he pulled out. Olivia groaned, wishing he was just a little less responsible. She was covered. She probably could have told him to go on, but he was protecting her.

There was scrabbling from the other side of the bed, then she heard the distinctive sound of the foil package ripping open. Within seconds, he was behind her again, gliding in firmly.

“Oh,” she breathed. “This position…is really something.”

“It is. You feel incredible.”

“You do too. Oh, right there, Connor.”

Arching her back, Olivia took him even deeper, and he hit something inside that sent her careening over the edge. The orgasm made her grip the sheets as she cried out, her body pulling at his. Connor panted behind her, moving her hips a certain way, and then he was arching into her harder than before as his own orgasm rippled over him. It took him several long seconds to deplete his body, and when he was done, he rested his head against her back. His breathing tickled, but she didn’t mind. It felt just right, him holding her this way.

“I didn’t think you could top last night, but that was amazing,” she said softly.

“I agree,” he said, reaching up to tweak her still hard nipples. “We might have to do it again later.”

She laughed and rocked back into him. “I have a feeling this station house is about to get crowded.”

“Eh, not too bad. There will be about ten on dayshift.”
