anticipation.
He dipped in and pressed a soft kiss just below her navel. He let his lips deliver feather light kisses as he moved up and over her. He let his nose graze against her skin, his stubbly cheek rubbed just below her breast. Goosebumps raised across her chest and arms begging for more than he was offering.
Keegan rested her hands atop his shoulders, her lips parted and chapped in anticipation. She couldn’t help the words that tumbled passed her lips. Her voice started to crack as she spoke, “I thought I was going to lose you.”
Matt rested above her, his elbows pressing against the mattress on either side of her head. He ducked down for a heavy kiss, “Never.”
Keegan let out a hum of elation. Her hands pressed against his cheeks and held him in place. Her chest pressed against his in the rapid fire under each breath she took. Matt placed his lips at the juncture of her neck and shoulder, his lips parting and his teeth scraping against the tender skin Keegan arched her neck back, baring more skin for him.
She hummed against the feeling of his teeth nipping at her and marking her as his. She felt herself get lost underneath the care and attention he bestowed against her. She let her self be wrapped up in his heat and gave up every ounce of control to please him. Drifting off to sleep curled up against him Keegan felt the rumble of contentment in his chest. She felt the way he traced the dark black lines along her back in adoration. Everything felt like it was going to be okay again.
Keegan smiled to her self as she settled in behind her desk. For once it was clear of paperwork and instead there were brightly wrapped gifts on top of it. In the rush of trying to close the case Christmas had slipped right by everyone.
Curious at who was thoughtful enough to have given her something, Keegan slipped her finger beneath the bows to see who had been so kind to leave her a bit of Christmas cheer. Leeroy, Gary and Melinda had all left her a gift they had all chipped in to buy it looked like. Then there was a small package from Doctor Biggerson. And surprisingly enough there was an envelope that had her name scrawled out across it that appeared to be done in Detective Cassidy’s handwriting. She grabbed the box she toted in with her and deposited her own gifts at each desk and then left the gifts for her favorite homicide detectives and medical examiner. She would pass those on later on in the day.
The smile that stretched against her lips was impossible to avoid when Gary leaped down the stairs belting out one of his favorite Christmas tunes. He clapped his hands together gleefully when he spotted the gift.
“Thank you!” Gary didn’t waste any time ripping into the paper. He grinned manically as he pulled out the miniature Aquarium set and starting fixing it up on his desk. “This is so neat.”
“I figured you would like it,” Keegan chuckled at his enthusiasm. She was leaning back in her chair when Matt slowly stepped from the stairs and headed over towards her. His lips were curled up in a soft smile and Keegan felt her self flush at the heat that spread across her body. The memories of how that smile felt against her skin, how his hands treated as if she were a precious gem and something to be treasured.
Meeting his warm smile with one of her own, Keegan rested her hands over her belly, “What are you doing down here?”
“I thought I would stop by and see how you were doing since it looks like you missed Christmas also.” Matt shrugged as he parked a hip on Keegan’s desk and tugged at her hand. She gladly tangled her fingers with Matt’s and smiled up at him.
“Eh,” Keegan shrugged and nodded towards the gifts on her desk but her eyes completely focused on the man in front of her. “I think I made out pretty well.”
“How do you know that?” Matt chuckled as he looked over his shoulder at her desk. “You haven’t even opened any of your gifts.”
“Oh, gag,” Gary mimed gagging and he grinned at the pair of detectives. “Now I know why I don’t have a girlfriend. They say sappy shit like that.”
Keegan blushed from Gary’s words and Matt grinned before leaning down and pressing a kiss against
