“Tucked it in my pocket so I can concentrate on you.”

Well, then…

“Hands back on the door.”

Okay, fine.She’d play.

With both hands back on the door, she closed her eyes and let him sweep her out of her own head and wandering thoughts.

He pressed his lips to the side of her neck, twisted a nipple and without any fanfare, slid two fingers inside of her.

Oh, yesssss,she’d definitely play.

Thick, long fingers plunged in and out of her as he sucked on her skin.

“Nox,” she breathed.

“You really need to talk right now?” he murmured against her neck.

No, she didn’t. She zipped her lips shut.

Well, not really. What he was doing to her was making her pant a little and she needed her mouth open for that.

He might be a little rusty but,damn, the man was quickly proving he knew what he was doing. The more he played with her clit and fucked her with his fingers, the more her thighs quivered. She had to lock her knees to prevent them from giving out.

Because,holy shit, she was about to come.

That quickly. That easily.

Her orgasm turned out not to be an explosion that rocked her, but rather a nice, easy one that rolled through her, curling her toes and causing her to moan in satisfaction.

And when she did, his rock-hard cock thrusted against her.

He had to be uncomfortable.

Most other men would’ve had their pants dropped down around their ankles by now. But from the moment she met him, Nox was proving not to be “most” men.

That was most likely the reason he still mourned his late wife. The man could be intense and that led her to believe he loved intensely, too. Intense enough that his wife’s loss hadn’t left a mark, but a deep, gaping wound instead.

Even so, he needed to let it heal enough to scar over. And that scar would be a reminder of what used to be…

A love gone but never forgotten.

Liyah had her own scars. One she cherished. One she regretted.

She’d like to avoid a third.

When he slipped his fingers from her, she lifted her head from where it rested against his shoulder. As his hand disappeared behind her, she noticed his digits were shiny from her response to his attention.

What was he going to do? Wipe them on his pants?

Her motherly instinct kicked in and she turned her head only to find him sucking on the same fingers that had been inside her.

Damn, if that didn’t make her pulse race and her pussy clench all over again.

Watching him finish sucking his fingers clean, she recognized the indisputable fact, while the cop was hot in a baseball cap, he was even hotter without one. Since he also had a full head of hair, it proved he didn’t wear that hat to hide a bald spot, he used it to simply hide.

“Nox, can we move to the bed now?”
