With a gentle nibble to her neck, Alex reached between them. She expected him to go right for it, but instead, he parted her seam and pushed two fingers inside.
Eden moaned, her body pushing back against his thrusting hand. She knew he was preparing her pussy for the impending intrusion, but damn. The man seriously knew how to use his hands.
When the same, familiar tingling from before began spreading across her lower belly, Eden moved her hips more frantically. As much as she loved what he was doing, she wanted to come with his cock inside her this time. Not his fingers.
“Now, Alex,” she ordered shamelessly. “I want you now.”
More than happy to oblige, he slid his fingers from her body and aligned his blunt, hot tip to her entrance. She was soaked from his touch, so when he pushed his hips forward, he slid inside with relative ease.
They both moaned in unison, the feeling of his body joining with hers more incredible than she’d ever imagined. The colors from before returned, only stronger. It was the first time in a long time, she’d thanked God for her gift.
They fit together perfectly. Like two halves of a whole.Because we belong together.
With both their bodies on the verge of eruption, it didn’t take long for them to find their rhythm. Eden lifted her knees higher, locking her ankles behind him in order to get as close as humanly possible.
Alex pumped his steel rod into her velvet heat. Over and over, he slid in and out, his thrusts becoming a little more forceful as time went on.
“Jesus, Eden,” he breathed out. “God, you feel so good.”In. Out. In. Out. In. Out.“Never…felt…anything…so…good.”
All Eden managed to get out was a panted warning.
“I’m close, Alex.” More heaving breaths. “Oh, God. I’m going to—”
She threw her head back, a low keening sound escaping from the ‘O’ her parted lips had formed. The orgasm hit quickly, stealing her ability to speak.
Alex was right behind her.
“Eden!” he grunted her name.
A rough, guttural moan followed as his body stiffened above hers. With a few more, uneven thrusts, he rode out the last of his own climax. Drawing out those final bits of pleasure for them both.
Minutes passed by as they both lay there, sweaty, limp, and satiated beyond precedence. And later, after food for fuel and a magnificent round two, Eden fell asleep in the comfort of Alex’s arms.
Chapter Seven
“You hungry?”
Eden looked up from the file to find Alex standing over her. She still couldn’t believe how quickly things had changed between them.
That first night together had been indescribable. And things had only gotten better since.
During the day, they’d spend their time here at the station, or out visiting the spots where The Liberator’s victims had been found. At night, they’d go back to Alex’s place and make love for hours on end.
Even in the midst of such horror and sadness, Eden found herself happier than she’d ever been.
“I am,” she answered him honestly. “But it’s already been five days since Chloe Howard was murdered. I need to figure this out before The Liberator kills again.”
With a pointed look she’d come to recognize, he said, “And we will. But you need to take a break and frankly, so do I. Let’s go get a bite. We can refuel, and then come back with fresh eyes.”
Giving in, she closed the file and stood. Arching her back, Eden stretched her stiff muscles before grabbing her jacket from the back of the chair. “What sounds good?”
“I was thinking pizza.”
Eden smiled. “Of course, you were.” When they’d worked together before, Alex almost always picked pizza.
She followed him down the stairs and out the precinct door. They’d just stepped outside when Alex’s phone began to ring.
With a mumbled, “Excuse me,” he pulled it from his coat pocket.
