His grandma was basically Hercule frikkin’ Poirot in a red lipstick and orthopaedic shoes.

I was still pondering their hushed whispers as I made the tea when I heard the front door close.

Kade stepped in with a backpack slung over his shoulder.

“I forgot the steaks in my cruiser,” he said, heading into my small kitchen.

He dropped his bag onto the table and took the meat over to the counter. I watched him move through the space, and decided—I liked this setup. The cozy, open-plan kitchen and living room felt… right.

I sipped my lukewarm tea, narrowing my eyes at him.

He was smiling. Humming.

I set my mug down slowly.

He was happy.

It was innocent.

That’s what I told myself.

I should have known better.

Dinner was perfect. The night was still young, but I yawned as I stood up from the couch.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“I need to change my clothes and wash up,” I said, catching the way his eyes lingered on my skirt.

“I’ll come and help,” he said, rising to his feet and taking my hand.

His fingers slid higher, curling around my wrist.

“I want to see what you’re wearing under that sexy, tight little skirt,” he murmured, reaching for the remote and switching off the TV.

“I thought you’d never ask, Officer Kade,” I said, leaning into him.

Every time he wore his uniform, it took me back to our first time—the way he’d taken control and gave me something I hadn’t even realised I craved.

Someone else taking over for a while… so I didn’t have to.

His lips brushed the side of my neck, just above the collar of my blouse.

“We’re going to try something a little different tonight,” he whispered, his hard chest pressing against mine. “It’s time you gave me that sweet ass of yours.”

I should’ve been shocked.

But all I could do was cling to his shirt.

Even as his lips swooped down to mine, I was thinking about the logistics of what he said. There was a definite size-to-hole ratio complication.

His hands cupped my ass as his tongue delved deeper.

It was slow. Sensual. Sexy.

Totally worth ruining my lingerie over.
