“Yup.Make a note, bud.Don’t dare me, because I’ll most likely do it.”
He shook his head and grinned.“You’re going to keep me on my toes, aren’t you?”
She plastered herself against his body, tilted her head back to see him, and then tapped his chest with a finger.“You better believe it.”
He slid a hand behind her neck and his other around her waist.He bent until his mouth was just about against hers.
“Don’t worry about me, Sweetheart.I think I can keep up with you.”
His mouth took hers, and he instantly deepened the kiss.Her arms came around his neck, and she opened herself up to him, giving him everything he was asking for.She felt dazed and panted when he raised his head.
Both stood and stared at each other.
“I’m afraid of what’s going to happen when I finally have you under me where you belong.”
She took in a breath that stuttered in her throat.“Why?”
He laid his forehead against hers.“Because I’m afraid I won’t want to let you up.”
She ran her hand down his scarred cheek.“I wouldn’t complain if that’s what you’re worried about.”
He tilted his head back, drawing in a deep breath before refocusing on her.“We need to get out of here before I take you against the truck.”
She finally heard the sounds of children and adults moving around the area and nodded.
“Probably a good idea.We wouldn’t want to get arrested for indecent exposure.It would be bad for both our professions.”
He tapped the tip of her nose with his finger.
“I’d never hear the end of it.Besides, I don’t want anyone else to see you after I strip you.I’ve never been a possessive man before, but I can’t see being any other way with you.”
“I won’t mind that at all.I feel exceptionally possessive myself when it comes to you.”
He placed a hard kiss on her mouth and lifted her into the truck again.He reached over and pulled the seatbelt over her and snapped it into place.He reluctantly moved away from her, shut the door, and went to his side.
They pulled out onto the highway before Kaleb talked.“Hungry?”
“Yes.”
“How about sub sandwiches?”
“Sounds great to me.”
They rode the rest of the way to the restaurant in silence, but they never released their grip on each other’s hands.
It was late afternoon by the time Kaleb pulled up in front of Myla’s apartment building.He didn’t say anything before he got out, grabbed her backpack, and came around to help her down.He waited until she opened her apartment door and took a few steps inside.
His eyes were hooded as they watched her move around the small living room and turn on a few lights.
She turned toward him and stared.Myla wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she still held back for some reason.She wanted him desperately, but she didn’t want him to think she was clingy or needy.It was hard to read guys normally, but Kaleb being a cop, it was more so.
He must have seen the emotions she tried to hide.“Come here and give me a good night kiss.”
She relaxed and walked to him.
He cupped her face in his hands and bent.
Before she could draw in a breath, he took her lips and instantly plunged his tongue into her mouth.Both moaned as the kiss deepened.
