Chapter 16

John walked past the ugly gnomes lining the flowerbeds, and rang the door bell. As he waited, feeling as if someone was watching him, he glanced over his shoulder. A gnome being carried off by a pair of metallic aliens caught his attention. He hadn’t noticed this particular one before, and couldn’t help but smile.

Life with Celeste would be interesting, if he was given that chance. After the investigation ended, he’d try. He wasn’t stupid. Maybe skeptical about relationships considering what had happened with Renee, but not stupid.

Celeste had breathed life into parts of him he hadn’t realized had been dead. He envied how deeply she cared for her family and Roy. He wanted her to care about him just the same if not more. Hell, he wanted her all to himself. Especially after today.

Since dropping her off at the diner, his day had gone to shit and now he needed to talk...to her and her alone. For a reason he couldn’t explain, she soothed him, brought peace to his soul. Tonight, he needed her comfort.

The door opened. In an instant, the victims, Winston, the entire fucked up case, disappeared from his mind.

She stood in the doorway wearing low-cut jeans, and a long-sleeved t-shirt that hugged her breasts and brought the blue out in her eyes. Her curly, blond hair framed her pretty face. The memory of twining his fingers through her hair as he’d made love to her that afternoon had his fingers tingling. Her vanilla and cinnamon scent had his mouth watering for a taste of her smooth skin. He stared at her lush lips, and a hunger that had nothing to do with his empty stomach made him move fast.

Needing to touch her, to erase away everything bad, he dropped his briefcase, kicked the door closed and pinned her against the wall. Unable to stop himself, he cupped her cheeks and kissed her. Kissed her the way he’d been aching to do since he’d left her bedroom this afternoon.

She released a throaty moan and parted her lips. The arousing vibration hummed through his body and straight to his cock. Hard, ready, and aching to bury himself between her thighs, he tangled his tongue with hers, and made love to her mouth.

Gripping the back of his head, she held onto him, surged her body against his. Her response fueled his need. He raised one of her legs around his back, then gripped her rear and ground his dick between her thighs. Dragging his lips along her neck, he pressed a lingering kiss where her pulse beat hard at the hollow of her throat, then snared her gaze.

Her eyes were bright, glittering with both desire and shock. The desire he welcomed, but the shock? He looked to the wall. God, he was a presumptuous ass. While she’d responded the way he’d hoped, the way he’d needed, he might have moved a little too fast. He was sure there had to be some sort of rule out there about when it was appropriate to kiss someone hello, and he was also sure he’d just broken it.
