“Was I too rough with you?” Gib queried into Nica’s shoulder much, much later.

Her smile was that of a woman completely pampered and well-tended. “Yes you were and thank you,” she purred to the feel of Gib’s warm, big body shaking with soft laughter behind her.

“Nica?”

“Mmm...” she snuggled closer to him.

“I um...I had condoms. I should’ve...gone to get them but after that first time I...” he let the explanation drift into silence. What good was it now anyway? What good was it to tell her that once he had her in his arms, a condom was the last thing on his mind.

Nica seemed to sense what he couldn’t say. “Gib...you don’t have to worry about a baby I...take the pill for...” she let the uneasy confession suffice. Such a precaution wasn’t necessary for the usual reason. For years, it had been a tried and true method to soothe certain side effects associated with her period. “As for anything else, my last test was two years ago, but I haven’t had a sex life in over eight.”

Gib felt her tense in his arms and his heart broke for her. As a result, he let go of the offense he’d taken to her assumption that he might ‘worry’ over her being pregnant with his child.

“What I was trying to say, very badly, is that I’m tested every year.” He brushed a kiss across her shoulder and silently considered her earlier confession. “Eight years...I find that unbelievable,” he said.

“It’s the truth, Gib.”

“I know that, sugar,” he heard the urgency in her voice and despised himself for putting her on the defensive. “I think I should’ve said I find that incredible. I’m guessing you can’t walk a block without some guy giving you a line.”

She laughed quietly into her pillow. “That doesn’t happen as often as you think. But um, I guess a lot more than I wish it would.”

“Annoying?”

“It can be.”

“So why give me a chance?”

She smiled, sending him a look across her shoulder. “Fishing for compliments, Sheriff?”

“You’ve already complimented me and very well,” he said and took her mouth in a throaty kiss that made her moan before he stopped. “But I’m pretty sure you don’t attract a host of jerks,” he continued. “There had to be some decent ones in the bunch. What made me so special?”

“Probably the uniform.”

They enjoyed another kiss, that one coupled with a lusty three finger caress that took Nica to the verge of climax before Gib eased off.

“Tell me why?” he demanded softly upon depriving her of his fingers.

“I wish I could,” she insisted when his beckoning gaze narrowed. “I swear I’m not being facetious, but I honestly don’t know why. I mean, there are the...shallow reasons-your looks, your body,” a delicious shiver took hold when his arm flexed at her waist to draw her back even tighter against him.

“Then there’s your personality,” she battled past lurking arousal to continue. “You weren’t as obvious about wanting to get me into bed.”

Gib winced. “I was obvious enough.”

Her eyes searched his, and then she fixed on his mouth and sighed.
