It was like lighting a match to newspaper. Heat immediately flared between us. I scooted closer, rubbing my hips against hers, desperate for more contact. I’d never felt this needy before, but for some reason it felt completely natural to straddle my bodyguard and rub up against her like a cat in heat.

Teresa’s fingers went to the buttons of my blouse, parting the fabric to expose my lace covered breasts. She broke this kissto run her mouth down my neck and across my collar bones. I arched my back, giving her access as she sucked one of my nipples into her mouth through my bra, biting down softly.

“Teresa! Oh my God!”

I gripped her head, holding her closer as she sucked on first one breast and then the other. When she was done she returned to my mouth. This time Teresa was the aggressor, claiming every part of my mouth until I felt almost dizzy from lack of oxygen.

We pulled apart slowly, reluctantly.

“Do you want to come upstairs with me?” I asked. “This would be more comfortable in a bed.”

A myriad of emotions crossed her face. “No, we need to stop. I shouldn’t have let that happen. I can’t let myself get distracted from keeping you safe.”

My disappointment must have been evident in my face because she pressed a quick kiss against my lips and whispered, “I’m sorry. I want you more than I can say, but I have a job to do here.”

I pulled back and slid off her lap, wincing as I realized how damp my panties were.

“I’ll see you tomorrow then,” I said. “Good night.”

Iwatched Flora leave the kitchen, trying to decide if I should follow her. Then I reminded myself that what I said was valid. I needed to keep focused on protecting her. I could spend the rest of my life loving her if we could just figure out how to eliminate the threat first.

With that in mind, I called my boss.

“Taylor!”

I winced and move the phone away from my ear. My boss was a bellower. Or as Angie liked to tease her, she barked like the wolf she was.

“Hey boss, checking in. Did you find anything yet?”

“I damn well would have called you if we found something, or do you think I don’t know how to do my job anymore?”

I rolled my eyes but knew better than to respond.

“How’s it going there?” she asked.

“The client is fine, but I need to tell you something.”

“What?”

“Flora is… well, she’s my mate,” I forced myself to say.

“Christ on a cracker! Did you just figure this out today?”

“No.”

“Then why am I only hearing this news now, almost a week after you got the assignment?”

I looked down at the table that was still pushed away from my chair from the make out session with Flora a few minutes ago, then jumped up and hustled away as if Lois could see it through the phone.

“I thought it was a mistake or something. She’s not… what I was expecting.”

“Yeah yeah Taylor, my mate wasn’t what I was expecting either you know, but fate knows what it’s doing. Monique makes me very happy, unlike my irresponsible staff who think they should hide crucial information from me!”

As she spoke, Lois’s voice got even louder.

“I’m sorry Lois, but you have to understand that I can’t leave someone else to protect her.”
