I hooked a leg over his hip and reached up to hold on to his broad shoulders. Immediately, he pressed his cock to my opening and worked his way inside with a few smooth thrusts. My head fell back against the pillow. His chest hair brushed with gentle friction against my breasts. Cole brought his nose to my temple and inhaled. As if being inside of me wasn’t enough. He needed to pull my scent inside him. To lose himself in this connection and focus entirely on me.

“How do you feel this good?” he asked.

“Pretty sure it’s all you.”

“Not even close.”

I basked in the feeling of being beneath him. His heavy weight pressing me into the mattress. Letting him control the pace.

But after a while, I nudged his shoulder. “Mind if I’m on top?”

He rolled us both and landed on his back, bouncing slightly. “I’m happy for you to be on top. I get to see you, touch you. Let you do the hard work for a while.” His white teeth flashed as he smiled. “You love riding my cock, don’t you?”

“I do.” I spread my legs around him and lowered back down onto his hard length. Put my hands on his pecs, my long hair falling forward as I undulated my hips. Rocking our bodies against each other.

He squeezed my butt cheeks. “That’s it, honey.” He bucked his hips, making me gasp. “Show me how much you love it.”

I shuddered with a moan. “What Iloveis finally being in charge of you.”

He laughed. “For the moment, anyway.”

I bent over Cole to kiss him. My smile stayed. Regardless of what we’d dealt with tonight, we’d made it through all of that as a team.

I rode him until the glow of pleasure between my legs crested, taking me over. To my surprise, Cole stayed right there beneath me instead of repositioning. A few more thrusts upward, and he grabbed my waist to hold me firmly in place as he groaned through his own release.

We ended up lying next to each other, catching our breaths. Hearts aligned as they beat quickly, but in time. I’d just joked about me being in charge, but really, we were finally in perfect sync.

And that was when I knew I couldn’t tell him what I was hiding.

I’d started this op still linked to the FBI. Stanford had warned me not to let my guard down around Cole.Even though we need the Protectors, that doesn’t make you one of them, my boss had said.

But now, it wasn’t about the Protectors or the FBI anymore. This was about Cole and me. The two of us relying on each other. This had become so much more than an undercover partnership. I cared about him, and I believed that he cared about me. Our mission was stronger for it. And maybe…maybe I would be stronger for it, too.

I couldn’t do anything to jeopardize that.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Cole

Sunlight peekedaround the curtains of our hotel room.

“Want a cigarette?” Brynn asked.

She was still lying naked beside me, legs tangled with mine beneath the covers. Her hair splayed over the pillow in a debauched mess. She looked sexy enough that I wished I was twenty years younger and could take her again right now. Maybe from behind. Get her moaning and desperate the way I liked.

But I’d had more sex in the last twenty-four hours than I’d had in a very long time. I didn’t have another round in me yet.

“Excellent idea.” A few minutes ago, I would’ve said that nothing could drag me away from this bed. But a smoke was just the thing, especially if Brynn wanted to share it with me. Not like we were getting to sleep anyway. We were due at breakfast in less than two hours.

We could sleep when this was over. In fact, I had several ideas about what we should do once this was over. More sex was high on that agenda.

Brynn and I got out of bed, threw on clothes, and wentonto the tiny patio behind our room. It was chilly, so Brynn grabbed a blanket. We sat on the small bench, her in my lap and the blanket around us both. I cast a cautious glance around, still wary after last night and the knowledge that someone had been poking around in our room. But there was no activity here except for the usual sights and sounds of the desert greeting the morning.

I lit the cigarette with my lighter, inhaling, and then held it out to her. She fit her lips around it. Took a drag while not taking her eyes off mine.

There were a few stringy clouds near the horizon, and they glowed in the sunrise. I had no doubt that workers were busy nearby, getting the resort ready for another day. But on this side, everything was quiet.

Today was going to be difficult, and there were a million ways our plans could go wrong. Yet I had never felt more alive. Because of her.
