“Andon top of that, I am a grown ass woman who can make decisions about who I’m attracted to, who I kiss, and who I have sex with. Do you understand?”
“Are you going to bite me again?” he asked.
“No. It was my turn last time. This time, it’s yours.”
Just like that, the pressure that surrounded us exploded.
He grabbed my shoulders, pulling me against his body. My cup fell from my fingers, but I barely noticed because he was kissing me like he wanted to devour me. My hands fisted into the back of his shirt.
His hands ran from my shoulders to my hips, bringing me flush with his body. As his hips rolled against me, I licked my way inside his mouth. Daniel gripped my hips, lifting me off my feet. He took a few steps and then I was on my back on something soft. I sank deeper into the softness as his weight bore down on me.
I wrapped my legs around his hips, urging him closer, desperately wishing that we were already naked.
He fisted my hair in his hand, tugging my head back so that he could run his lips over my throat. My heart pounded against his tongue as he licked the side of my neck.
For a split second, I thought he was going to bite me, but his mouth continued its downward journey. He pulled my t-shirt to the side and nipped my shoulder, not breaking the skin but letting me feel the edge of his teeth.
I shuddered beneath him, moaning at the slight edge of pain. I shoved my hands down the back of his sweatpants to cup his ass, arching my hips up even more. The hard ridge of his cock rode against my clit and, even with layers of clothing between us, electric pleasure zipped through my body and straight to my nipples.
Something banged nearby and suddenly we were both standing. Daniel shoved me behind him and held me against his back with one arm. A low snarl came from him, the animalistic sound lifting all the fine hairs on my arms.
“If you don’t want to be interrupted, you should lock the door,” the police chief drawled from his spot by the entry. He crossed his arms over his chest. “Otherwise, you need to calm down.”
Daniel straightened from his semi-crouch and sighed. Sometime during our make-out session, the music had started again, a deep, pounding rhythm that reminded me of sex.
Damn. How had I not even heard the music?
Daniel released my waist and tapped the screen of his smart watch. The music died.
“What are you doing here, Kent?” he asked, sounding as frustrated as I felt.
“I had a visitor last night,” the chief answered, his arms still crossed over his chest.
“Leo or Leona?”
I rolled my eyes behind Daniel’s back. That family needed to get over themselves. I’d only been dealing with them for a couple of days, and I was already done with them. I couldn’t imagine how annoying they were to Daniel and Garrett.
Garrett huffed out a laugh. “Leona, of course. Her kit wouldn’t dare come near me without his mommy to protect him.”
Daniel sighed. “And?”
“She wanted to know what it would take to get me on her side if she called for a re-election.”
“Oh, for Christ’s sake,” Daniel muttered. “She was the only candidate, and she still lost the election, that should tell her everything she needs to know about how a re-election would go.”
“I have a feeling that it won’t be a fair election,” Garrett replied.
“I need more caffeine before I hear what else you have to say,” Daniel said. “Let’s go inside.”
Garrett nodded at him before he glanced at me when I peeked over Daniel’s shoulder. That hint of a smirk appeared but vanished before I could even blink.
I had no idea what he thought was so funny. This was the second time Daniel left me hanging and I was not happy.

Once we got inside the house, Daniel set about making tea for himself and I wandered over to the Keurig.
“You want some coffee?” I asked the chief.
