Page 41 of Cash

“No. I only shifted back, is all. There’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while now, and I can’t do it while I’m towering above you that way.”

“Oh? What’s that?”

I reached for her without asking permission, crushed her against my chest and covered her mouth with mine. Instead of pushing me away or even letting out a surprised sound, she threw her arms around my neck and held me just as tight.

There was no denying my need for her, naked and erect as I was at the touch of her lips, my need pressing against her clothed body. I wouldn’t force her. I didn’t even want her until there was nothing standing between us. I wanted all of her, no reservations, no fear or worry for Tommy. I deserved that. So did she.

Instead, I thrust my tongue into her mouth as I would’ve thrust my cock into her wet heat and thrilled at the way she writhed in pleasure.

There was a depth of passion to her that I hadn’t guessed at. A well of it. No one had tapped it yet. I was sure of that. Like she was waiting for me without knowing I existed. Her fingers tangled in my hair and she pressed her breasts against my chest, sighing into my mouth as our tongues brushed together, sending chills through my body.

“Carissa…” I breathed, running my mouth down her throat.

“Yes, Cash. Yes.”

“When this is over…”

“I know. I know.” She pulled my head up by my hair and kissed me harder than ever. It was almost easy to forget what we had to do.

When the phone rang, we both snapped back to reality.

She leaned against me for a moment, eyes closed, before going to answer the call. “It’s them,” she whispered, still breathless.

“Get a hold of yourself.”

“Easy for you to say.” She put her hand to her temple and cleared her throat before answering. “Yes?”

Just like that, she was all business and full of hatred. I stood at her side, listening hard.

“How’s your work coming along, Aunt Cari?”

“Very well. I’ve found the solution to the problem and my work is all but complete.”

“You have what we need?”

“Yes. Over fifty tubes.” She winced, eyes closing

“That will have to do.”

“It will, especially since I’ve injected the formula already and anything I give you from now on will be compromised.”

“We’re aware of this.”

Oh, were they? They seemed to know a lot. But they would, wouldn’t they? They had all the information they needed.

“How’s my nephew?”

“He’s fine. He’ll continue to be fine as long as you keep things between us. Meaning no police or other outside interference.”

“Understood. Where can I drop off the blood?”

“So soon, Aunt Cari?”

“Immediately.”

Our eyes met.

I nodded.

“Do you have a pen?”
