She smirks and says, "I’ll give youthat."
I hear my own voice in my head respond with 'you’ll give me that, alright. In a couple hours, I’ll be owning that.' But instead, I tell her. "Being a cop has its advantages. We have excellentbenefits."
"Really? What kind of benefits does being a cophave?"
I take her chin and turn her face to mine. "I’m talking the kind of benefits that gets a date with a beautiful woman on ChristmasEve."
"Oh, those benefits!" She licks her lips and the wetnessglistens.
I see myself pouring oil over her prone body later and I lean down for a kiss. When my lips touch hers, the softness is like velvet and the taste of her is sweeter than honey. An emotional connection rushes in unguarded and flies past my barriers. I know I should withdraw my kiss and regroup, but she is just too perfect to pull away from. My tongue slides inside to touch hers, but I hear Blake approaching and she gently pushes usapart.
