“I could feel it.” He did kiss her then, his hand trailing down her flat stomach. “Your body’s so tight. So snug.” Matt brought his lips to her neck. “Like it was made specifically for me.”
Moaning, she smiled lazily. “Again? Already?”
Kat leaned her head to the side while simultaneously letting her outer leg fall open. The man had given her multiple orgasms over the past few hours, yet she was already feeling primed and ready to go again.
“I can’t get enough of you,” he whispered against her ear. “Never enough.”
Matt’s fingers had only just brushed against the top of her bare sex when a loud pounding startled them both.
Without missing a beat, Matt jumped out of bed, grabbed his gun from where he’d placed it on the nightstand after round one, and threw on the clean jeans he’d worn during a quick, re-charging meal before round three.
“Stay here,” he ordered brusquely.
Gone was the sweet, loving man she’d spent the afternoon reacquainting herself with. In his place was this serious, hardened warrior.
“Okay.”
Though Kat doubted the bad guys would announce their presence with a knock to the front door, she wasn’t stupid enough to take the chance. She also wasn’t going to remain naked and in bed, just in case.
Dressing faster than ever before, Kat quickly pulled on the black leggings and oversized sweatshirt. She finished slipping on the last of her two socks when she heard Matt answer the door, followed by another man’s low voice.
She couldn’t hear what was being said, but the lack of gunfire and yelling led her to believe it was safe to come out. To be safe, she carefully peeked around the door’s edge.
Her tense body relaxed when she saw Gabe—the silver fox she’d met at R.I.S.C.’s office—standing inside the cabin’s small entryway. Both men noticed her right away, and from the looks on their faces, their conversation was more than a little serious.
“It’s okay, Kat. It’s Gabe.”
Pushing away her embarrassment from having been caught spying, Kat straightened her shoulders and joined them.
“Hi, Gabe. Good to see you again.”
“Hey, Kat.”
The other man tipped his head in a single nod. He’d seemed serious when she’d met him before, but the expression on his face as he looked back at her this time was different. Kat couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but it was almost as if he felt sorry for her. Which made absolutely no sense, whatsoever.
She slid her gaze to Matt, who definitely looked remorseful.What the hell?
Kat took a step closer. “What’s going on?”
He opened his mouth but shut it before any sound escaped. She watched as he swallowed in the same, nervous way he had in the bedroom a few minutes before. Oh, this couldn’t be good.
“Matt?” Her eyes bounced back and forth between the two men. Hugging herself, she did her best to stay calm when she asked, “What’s wrong?”
It was Gabe who answered.
“Jake got a call about an hour ago. It was a detective with the Long Beach Police Department.”
Oh god!“My dad?” She rushed to Matt’s side. “Is he okay? What happened?”
“Sweetheart, why don’t we sit down.”
With a gentle hand to her elbow, he tried to guide her over to the couch, but Kat jerked herself free.
“I don’t want to sit down. I want you to tell me what’s going on.”
The two men shared a look before Matt said, “I’m so sorry, Kat. Your father…” Matt couldn’t seem to find the words, so Gabe finished for him.
“The Long Beach Police were notified of a car that had been found at the bottom of a ridge. It was your father’s car.”
