“I want to be inside you.” Christian growled.
With the seductive smile of a temptress, Lily laid back on the bed and crooked a finger. Christian didn’t hesitate, practically pouncing on her, he kissed her hard, his tongue thrusting deep as the head of his erection found her center with unerring precision. He pushed forward with a growl and Lily cried out with pleasure, her inner muscles contracting around him.
Hooking an arm under her knee, Christian pulled her leg up higher, causing each thrust to go deeper. His hand sank into her hair, cupping the back of her head as his mouth continued to devour hers. The hard heat of his chest slid against the stiff points of her nipples and Lily felt another orgasm building in intensity, when it hit, her world seemed to dissolve, sparks of tiny lights at the edge of her vision. She screamed against Christian’s mouth, her body clamping so hard around his length that his previous smooth thrusts were limited to hard jerks as he groaned and stiffened above her before she felt the hot pulsing against her inner muscles signaling his own release.
Later, they were cuddled together in Christian’s bed, both of them enjoying the languid aftermath of their loving as Christian’s fingers combed through her hair, spreading it across his chest. Such an intimate time, this moment between lovers. Lily yawned. She pictured herself staying like this forever, and instead of the thought causing anxiety, she simply felt peace.
“You know, them watching you is actually good. When we spring the trap, they’ll be here to haul the killer in.”
Okay, so the peace hadn’t lasted quite as long as she had hoped, reality intruding with those words. “I still think we should just call with an anonymous tip. Why do we have to get involved?”
Christian kissed the top of her head and pulled her tighter against him. “You already are involved.”
Lily huffed out a breath and lifted her head with a glare. “Fine.I’minvolved, but that doesn’t mean you need to be involved.”
Christian kissed the mutinous set of her lips, his eyes full of an emotion that Lily wasn’t quite sure she was ready to see. “Because I’m yours and you’re mine. If you’re involved, I’m involved. That’s the way these things are supposed to work.”
Lily felt her lungs constrict and lowered her head back to Christian’s chest. Somewhere along the lines, her ‘me’ had become ‘we’… the thought was nice, but why did being part of a ‘we’ have to be so dangerous?
