back towards him and held her hard pressed against his body, his mouth slamming down on hers. The kiss sizzled her from her head down to her toes and she gripped his shoulders to steady her suddenly shaky legs. He eased the assault on her lips just enough to reassure her he was in control of his emotions and body, that she was safe with him despite the intensity of this attraction between them.

Pressing in closer, she moved her hand up to his head and ran her fingers through his thick dark hair, giving him her version of the claiming kiss he’d started, letting him know she needed him right now as much as he needed her. Their tongues meshed in a tango of give and take.

Finally, he broke it off. Gasping for breath, her lungs crying out for air to keep up with the pounding of her heart she stared up at him.

“You have one minute to decide,” he said, sliding his lips over her jaw and down the column of her neck that she gave him more access to it by arching her body into his and leaning her head backwards.

“Decide?” was all she managed to get out as he suckled on that little spot at the place where her neck met her shoulders.

“Here on the counter or in your bed?”

As sexy as having sex on the counter always sounded, she’d tried it once and preferred her bed.

“Bed,” she mumbled just before he reclaimed her lips and was shocked when he gripped her by her butt cheeks and lifted her off her feet. Quickly, she wrapped her legs around his ass and clung to him, hoping they made it to the bed before he dropped her.

At the bed, he lowered her to her feet, then there was a mad dash to see who could divest themselves of their clothes first. One condom later, she was sprawled on the bed with him deep inside her. With her arms and legs wrapped around his powerful body, she clung to him as he thrust in and out, taking them both on a sensual ride that sent her body higher and higher.

Moaning into his mouth, she clawed at his back with her nails, desperate to get to that peak, that moment when everything would shatter.

Then it hit her. She tore her mouth from his and gasped as she clenched around him, moaning her orgasm in his ear.

Pulling back once more, he thrust as deep as possible into her, sending another ripple of ecstasy through her as he came over the precipice with her.

“Oh, God. Yes,” he said as he collapsed down upon her.

She held him to her, letting her hands slide up and down his sweat slicked skin, her heart slowing to its normal steady rhythm. Languid. She was the very definition of the word now. Every muscle in her body relaxed. No need to get up, no need to hurry her lover out the door. Content. That’s how she felt.

Finally, Aaron stirred, lifting up slowly onto one arm to stare down at her. “You okay?”

Gazing up at him, she let her eyes and smile tell him just how okay she was as she nodded. “You?”

“In all my life, I’ve never been better.” With his free hand, he smoothed some damp stray hairs from her forehead, leaned in and kissed her in the same spot. Then he slowly climbed off the bed and headed to the bathroom. A moment later, she heard the shower running, grinned and decided to join him.

When she stepped into the bathroom, she was greeted by the sight of his naked backside through the shower’s glass doors.

Oh my.

Was there anything sexier than Detective Aaron Jeffers naked and wet, every muscle defined down to the little cleft between his ass cheeks? Not that she’d ever seen, and she’d seen quite her share of naked men. But they’d meant nothing to her. Nothing like this man did.

She opened the shower door and stepped inside as he turned to greet her.

“I was afraid I’d scared you in the kitchen,” he said, as she slid her hands up his wet body.

“I know. And you didn’t.”

He smoothed his hands down her wet hair to cup her face. Leaning in, he kissed her again, this time, slow, deliberate, almost cherishingly. “I needed you. This case is so damn much, bodies keep piling up, and then the family tonight.”

She stepped closer, wrapping her arms tightly around him her head on his shoulder. In all her
