“Has she done something wrong?” Beth, the oldest of the group, managed and then cleared her throat.
“I don’t know yet.” He stopped in front of my desk and set his knuckles on it, leaned forward, invading my space. “Have you, Amy?” A tiny flicker of a smile. “Have you misbehaved?”
My breaths were coming fast and shallow. “What…what are you doing here?”
He bit on his bottom lip but didn’t answer me.
“And…what have you done to your face?” I asked quietly.
There was a long scratch from his temple to just below his right eye. It was fresh and deep.
“Hazard of the job,” he said. “Injuries, that is.”
“Oh, I see.”
“I really think, Officer.” Beth stood. “If she has done something wrong you might need permission to—”
He leaned in closer, slid his hand behind the back of my neck, and held my face to his. Then he kissed me. A firm, hungry press of his lips that screamed possession.
“Oh…I…” Beth managed and sat with a bump.
“Mitch!” I gasped and stared into his black eyes. My heart was clattering and my skin tingling all over.
“My shift finishes at seven,” he said quietly. “I’ll be straight round. And don’t eat, I’ll bring us something.”
“I…okay.”
“And.” He moved his mouth to my ear. “Because you were such a brave girl last night, telling me about our past, I’ve got youa present.” He pulled back, the liquid depths of his eyes full of promise and desire.
“A present? What?”
“You’ll have to wait and see.” He straightened and hooked one thumb into his belt. “You’ll have to be patient.”
Fuck. He was so damn hot in his uniform. I’d thought that the first time I’d seen him, but now, here in my office, murmuring into my ear, kissing me in front of my work colleagues. Fuck. Fuckity fuck. My body was on fire with lust.
Maybe, just maybe he would be the one to finally make me come on a cock.
He tipped his head, as though knowing what I was thinking, kind of smiled, then turned. “Goodbye, ladies, stay out of trouble.”
And with that, he was gone.
“What the ever-loving hell!” Jasmine held up her hands. “Who is that piece of sex on a stick?”
“Did that just happen?” Sarah was staring at the door. “And has he got a friend?”
“I’m guessing that was a social call and not official police business.” Beth was frowning at me. “And…you didn’t tell us you were seeing anyone?”
I gulped and touched my lips. I could still feel the dominant touch of his lips. “It’s…it’s new.”
“He seems very keen.” Jasmine nodded eagerly. “And damn it, girl, you get a chance to explore under that uniform. Make sure you do just that and then give us all the gory details.”
Grabbing my smoothie with a shaking hand, I took a long slurp, hoping the coolness would help me avoid combustion.
“Promise!” Jasmine said, waggling her finger at me.
I nodded and sucked on my straw.
“So when did you meet?” Beth asked.
