“Hardy har, har, Zodiac. Now get the fuck out of here and make up with your woman. I’ll be there in a bit.”Watching Zodiac try to kiss her ass, while trying to remove the foot he had lodged in his throat, was fucking hilarious. She'd make him grovel for that remark, and I couldn't wait to see it.
“What are you still doing here Buchanan?” Juliette asked when I took a seat by her desk as she worked.
“Enjoying the view from this side of the jail cell.” I shrugged and watched as she signed her name to a file and put it in the basket on her desk.
“I figured with your freedom you would be off galavanting at your club.”
“Galavanting?” I laughed. “Is that code for sex, Deputy?”
Her face flames with embarrassment. “That’s not what I mean, Buchanan,” she muttered, “Imeantdon’t you have better things to be doing now that you are out of a cell?”
“Beautiful, I’m willing to get back in that cell if you want to reward me for good behavior.”
She closed her eyes and shook her head. “I have work to do.”
“I’m not stopping you. I’ll sit here quiet as a mouse.”
“You’re gonna be a distraction by sitting there, and you’re already driving me nuts.”
My cock was hard as fuck, but there wasn’t a thing I could do about it. If me sitting here, quietly distracted her, then that meant I got to her more than she wanted to admit. Our banter was foreplay. The verbal sparring was addictive and so fucking arousing. I loved that she could keep up with me and didn’t hesitate to give as good as she got. My brain went straight to sex and how she would be able to keep up with me in and out of bed.
“I could find more pleasurable ways of stopping you from working, if you are going to be distracted either way might as well get some fun out of it.”
“You’re going to need a lot more than that cocky charm to get in my pants, Buchanan.”
“Will nine thick inches do?”
“Oh my god, will you stop? Before I have to book you for sexual harrassment?”
“One day, Beautiful, you’ll be asking me to harass you harder.”
Juliette stood up and opened her desk, pulling her gun and keys out. “Hollender, I’m going to patrol for a while. I’ll get the paperwork done later.”
Hollender didn’t answer her or even acknowledge her. He was probably still nursing his fried nutsack. The bastard better be happy I didn’t see him reach for her because he’d be nursing more than a fried dick. Juliette walked quickly away from the desk and toward the door of the station. I followed behind her, enjoying the bounce of her tiny ass and the way the duty belt sat over the top of it.
“Go home, Buchanan before you get yourself into more trouble,” she muttered over her shoulder when we were outside. The fading sunlight made the reddish tones in her brown hair come alive like fire.
“The only–”
She rounded on me, poking me in the chest with her unpolished fingers, standing only two inches from me, her eyes glittering and sparkling with irritation and desire. “No,” she gritted out. “Enough. No more sexual innuendos. I’m a cop and you are a criminal.”
“I didn’t kill her. You damn well know it, and the only reason I stayed behind was because I didn’t want you here by yourself withhim.” I notched my chin toward the building. “He’s going to retaliate against what you did to his dick today. You and I both know that, so I didn’t want to leave you alone with him.”
Her mouth parted slightly in surprise, and I couldn’t resist it. I snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her against me, capturing her lips in a hard kiss. She was stiff at first, and then her mouth and body melted against me as she kissed me back with furious need. My first taste of her was intoxicating. She was as sweet as strawberries, and the way her body molded to mine told me her body was just as hungry for me as I was for her.
I lightly thrust my hardness against her belly, and she moaned in response. That must have been what woke her up because she put her hand on my chest and pushed me back, her green eyes darkening like emeralds, swirling with confusion and a hint of desire.
“This can’t happen.” She shook her head. “You need to stop, Duncan.”
A gentle breeze pushed a stray strand of hair into her face. Instinctively, I reached up and moved it away, making sure I could look into those mesmerizing green orbs of sexiness. “For now. But promise me you won’t be alone with him. I can’t protect you if I’m not there.”
“You couldn’t protect me last time, either. Behind bars, you’re no good to anyone, so go home and stay out of trouble.”
“Why don’t you come home with me and keep me out of trouble? Or, we can make some trouble together.”
“Arrrrgh.” She turned and stomped toward her car.
“In all seriousness, Beautiful. Come to the club with me. I’ve got something I want to show you.”
