have some good news.”
“Do you have a lead about tonight’s fire?
“Some. We should know more in the morning when the stores open.” Regret laced his voice as his hand moved to her belly and he rolled her back to her side, pulling her body flush with his from shoulder to hip. “I know I promised to keep you up all night long, but this wasn’t how I envisioned it.”
She laughed softly, enjoying the low register of his voice vibrating against her back. He smelled like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and fresh soap. Man, she could get used to this. Better nip this wishful thinking in the bud, woman, she berated herself.
“Mmmm, I see Jeff isn’t really doing his job if you can sneak into my house and climb into bed with me undetected.”
“Good thing he’s on my payroll.” He chuckled as he placed a tender kiss against her neck. “I sent him home once I got back. Truth is, darlin’, I didn’t want you staying by yourself, even if Jeff was sitting outside all night.”
The man just made her want to crawl all over him. Was it his sexy Texan accent or his protective nature that grabbed her deep in the gut? Both, and the man underneath, she admitted to herself.
“Is that the only reason?” she said in a sultry tone. She distinctly remembered brushing against a very impressive erection a second ago. Deidre pushed closer and smiled when he growled in her ear, rubbing his cock against her buttocks.
“Don’t tempt me,” he warned.
“But that’s exactly what I’m doing.” She pressed harder, arching her body against him.
His warm hands gripped her hips and held her still. “Baby, God knows, I want your ever-lovin’ sweet body, but I purposely didn’t bring condoms so I wouldn’t be tempted to follow my baser instincts. After a night like tonight, you need your sleep.”
Both frustrated and appreciative of his thoughtfulness, Deidre said with a half laugh, “But what did you think I’d want once I got this sexy cowboy lawman in my bed?”
Before she could utter another word, he flipped her over on her back and caged her in with his hands on either side of her head. Leaning on one elbow, he let a seductive laugh escape his lips as he slid his hand down her thin T-shirt and back up the outside of her thigh. “I just said for you not to tempt me. I didn’t say I wasn’t going to pleasure you. I’ve thought of little else ever since I had a cock-teasingly brief taste of your sexy body in the kitchen.”
Deidre’s heart beat at a rabbit’s pace. In his new position, Jonas’ shoulders blocked the hall light, leaving his face in shadows. She wished she could see his expression. Her sex began to pulse and her breasts swelled at the thought of him finally tasting her, teasing her, sucking on her clit. “Well then, cowboy, I would never think to stop a man from his deepest desire.” Her hand covered his and she directed his fingers to the bottom of her T-shirt.
Her heart thumped harder as he slowly pulled off her T-shirt then tossed the cotton material on the floor, his gaze never leaving hers.
When Jonas began to massage her calves, she shook her head at the devilish look on his face.
“What’s wrong?”
The rasp of desire in his voice made goose bumps form on her skin. She glanced down at his briefs, turned on even more by the sight of his erection jutting against the fitted cotton fabric. “As sexy as I find you in your underwear, I don’t want you wearing anything at all.”
Tension filled his expression and his nostrils flared. “I’m a man with base impulses. If my cock comes anywhere near your sweet, warm body, I’m going to fill it with mine. It’s as primal and fundamental as that.”
Jonas’ frank comment made her breath catch in her throat. She wanted him that out-of-control.
“Take them off.” She gave him a siren’s smile as she lay back and bent her knees. Putting her feet flat on the bed, she spread her thighs wide. “I think you can hold back.”
