on his good leg as he stared down at her.
“Connor, what -”
He dropped his mouth onto hers, sliding his tongue between her lips as she moaned and threw her arms around his shoulders. She wanted to rub her entire body against him like a cat. Fuck, had she ever been this horny?
She sucked at his tongue, nibbling at his lips and making small sounds of need as his big hand rubbed circles on her lower back. Her breasts felt heavy and her damp bra was rubbing and chafing her suddenly-hard nipples.
“Your turn,” he whispered against her mouth. “Take off these wet clothes, honey.”
“Yes,” she breathed. “That’s a great idea.”
She kissed him again, her hands reaching for the hem of her shirt. She pulled away and was just tugging it up when her brother walked into the bedroom.
“Connor? How’s the leg today? Any – what the hell?”
Her face bright red, she yanked her shirt back down, giving Connor a mortified look. His erection was extremely noticeable against the towel wrapped around him – was that normal? Did guys get hard again that quickly? – and she kept her body in front of him as she spun around to face her brother.
“Gideon? What are you doing here?”
He gave her a look of confusion. “What am I doing here? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be at work, remember? You asked me to stop in and check on him.”
He was wearing his sheriff’s vest and when the dispatcher’s voice crackled over the radio attached to it, he reached up and turned it down before eyeing Kira’s wet clothing. “Why are you home?”
“Rose gave me a few days off so I could help Connor. I just, uh, helped him shower,” she said.
“Oh.” Gideon cleared his throat. “I guess I don’t need to stop by then.”
“Thanks for stopping, Gideon,” Connor said from behind her. “I appreciate it.”
“Yeah, don’t mention it.” Gideon hesitated. “Kira, can I talk to you for a minute in the kitchen?”
“Just let me help Connor get settled and I’ll be right there.”
Gideon left and she sucked in a gulp of oxygen before turning to stare at Connor. He had an amused look on his face, and she glared at him. “This isn’t funny. Gideon almost saw us about to…”
She stopped and took a deep breath before moving around him and pulling back the covers. “Get into bed. I’ll bring you some lunch after I’ve talked to Gideon.”
She jumped when his big hand caressed her ass. “Have I ever told you how incredible your ass is?”
“My brother is in the kitchen,” she said pointedly. “Get into bed.”
He gave her a boyish grin, that dimple making her thighs loosen, and dropped the towel before sitting on the side of the bed. His cock was semi-hard, and she stared at it, licking her lips as a new tremor of lust wormed its way into her belly.
Connor reached out and traced her erect nipple through her shirt. She moaned and pulled away, giving him a look of disbelief. “Behave, Connor.”
His grin widened and she pushed his hand away when he brushed her nipple again. “Get into bed, now.”
She helped him swing his right leg into the bed and prop it up against the pillows before pulling the covers up to his waist. He caught her wrist with one hand, his thumb rubbing against her pulse point.
She trembled helplessly in his grip, staring at his mouth as he said, “Hurry back, little Kira.”
She nodded, her mouth too dry to speak, and backed away when he released her wrist. She left the room and hurried upstairs to her room, whipping off her wet clothes and putting on dry ones before returning downstairs to the kitchen.
Gideon was filling up a travel mug with coffee and she grabbed the milk from the fridge and handed it to him.
“Thanks.”
He added milk and stuck it back in the fridge as Kira sat down at the table. He leaned against the counter and sipped at the coffee, staring silently at her.
She fidgeted in the chair, tugging nervously at the hem of her shirt. “How’s work going?”
“Fine,” he said.
She stared at the Harmony Falls Sheriff’s Department logo on the front of his vest as he took another sip of coffee. “Not to be super weird and awkward, but Connor is injured and with what you told me about his knee history, he probably shouldn’t be, um…”
She jumped up. “This is beyond super weird and awkward, Gideon.”
