Page 90 of The Ghost of You

“Can you stop with the Officer McDreamy bullshit?”

“What? He is dreamy. I wonder what that body of his looks like when it’s not in his uniform.”

I snort. “You will never find out. Pretty sure he doesn’t swing your way.”

He chuckles. “Oh baby girl, it’s only a matter of time.”

“I highly doubt it. He likes the taste of pussy too much.” I clamp my hand over my mouth after I say it. I am never that crass around anyone.

“Well, well, well. Looks like someone knows from experience.” Liam smirks at me.

I shake my head, facing my back to the crowd as my cheeks turn an ungodly shade of red. “No. Ugh, I just see him—”

“Oh I know you’ve seen him now. No denying it.” He pauses. I look over at him and see him smirking. “What was it you were saying about Officer McDreamy?”

I punch Liam in the arm. “You need to cut it out. Fine. Yes, I slept with him. It was the best sex of my life. He has the body of a god and I could get very used to running my tongue up and down every inch of that hard body. Just like I can’t wait for him to go down on me again. Because what I said was true. He loves pussy. Especially mine. And I don’t care if you call him Officer McDreamy. That’s all he is to you, a dream. But he is mine.”

I feel proud of myself for standing up to Liam. Even better that I chose the words I did. It made me feel feminine and sexy, like a sexual goddess ready to defend her man.

I look at Liam again and I can tell he is holding in a laugh.

“What was that about Officer McDreamy?”

I freeze at the sound of Noah’s voice. I look up at Liam. “How long was he standing there?”

Liam breaks out in a belly-shaking laugh. “The whole damn time.”

If I thought my face was red before it is definitely the color of a firetruck now. I slowly turn to see Noah and his partner standing on the other side of the bar. Niko looks to be in the same state as Liam. Noah on the other hand looks like he is ready to jump over the bar and stake his claim on me. I lock eyes with his smoldering blue ones and I clench my thighs together from the sudden dampness that appeared.

I don’t know how long our staring contest lasts but it’s broken up by the sound of the owner approaching Noah and Niko. “Thanks for coming in guys. I normally wouldn’t call the cops but this isn’t the first time this guy has caused a fight.”

Noah’s gaze cuts back to mine as Niko answers. “Not a problem, man. Did the other guy say if he wanted to press charges?”

The owner, Rob, shakes his head. “Nah. But I thought you two could shake up the other asshole’s night a bit. I will be filing papers to ban him.”

“Is he in the office?” Niko asks as he follows Rob to the back.

“I’m just going to go grab some beer to restock,” I tell Liam as I head to the back.

“Is that what they are calling it these days?”

I ignore Liam as I head into the back. I can feel Noah following me, but I didn’t expect any less.

Before I can unlock the closet holding the beer, Noah pulls me to his side. “You want to lick every inch of me?” he whispers into my ear.

I gulp as I feel his other hand trail down my waist and grip my ass.

“You better talk like that later.”

A chill goes down my arm. “Why’s that?”

He grabs my hand and places it over his growing erection. “Because it turns me on very much. And everything you just said is happening tonight.”

His lips graze my ear before sucking on my neck. I whimper at the feeling then groan when he steps away from me.

He points to the camera on his chest. “You’re going to have to wait until tonight, wildflower.”

I watch as he walks out of the back room. I slump against the door, fanning myself with my hand. That man does things to me. And I cannot wait until this damn shift his over.
