Chapter Twelve

Beckett

Drunk. It’s the closest word I can use to describe how I felt around Lila. I was nearly drunk with her. Her touch, her scent, her taste. It drove away all the dark shadows in my mind and filled them with light and something else more dangerous. Hope.

She seemed a little tipsy herself as she pressed her cheek against my chest. It took some doing, but we’d both managed to put ourselves back together in the confined space of my front seat.

“Mmm,” she moaned. “That was …”

I couldn’t help but laugh. Her lips were swollen from kissing. Fresh desire speared through me as a vision flashed of her other swollen lips. God. I was done for. Wrecked.

My radio squawked, pulling me out of the bubble. I’d only been gone an hour, but my whole damn life had changed.

“Boss?” Static framed Crane’s voice as I pulled the radio off the dock and turned the volume down.

“I’m here, Crane. Heading back.”

“Okay ... just checking.”

“What’s up?” Crane wouldn’t bother with a radio call unless he needed something.

“Porter pulled over Emmett Poole again.”

I sighed. Lila smiled and slid out of my arms, leaving a cold space. “He got behind the wheel again?”

“Yeah. He’s putting up a bit of a fuss.”

I didn’t like Crane’s tone. He was the master of understatement. I had a sinking feeling that his “bit of a fuss” meant somebody had already gotten hurt.

Lila smoothed the hair from her eyes. Her face glowed with a thin sheen of sweat. My dick tightened thinking of how she got that way. This one sweet taste of her wasn’t nearly enough. The woman was under my skin now. I wanted nothing more than to take her back to my place and start all over again.

“Where?” I said, locking eyes with Lila. A little blush crept into her cheeks. God, I loved that too. I wanted to take her places, stretch her boundaries, make her mine over and over again.

“Corner of Buena Vista and Sunrise. I really hate to bother you ... but he’s drawing a crowd.”

“On it,” I said, clicking off.

“We should get back,” Lila said. “You can just drop me back at my car.”

Alarm flared through me. Part of me wanted to cuff Lila to my side so I could make sure she didn’t try to leave again. Fuck it all. The vision of that plan made me shake with lust. She saw it in my eyes and her blush deepened. We were done for. Both of us.

“Are you going to stay?” I asked. Maybe I didn’t have the right. I didn’t care.

Lila let out a hard breath. I put the car in reverse and circled back to the highway. “I shouldn’t,” she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. This was bad. I knew it. Whatever had spooked Lila in the first place was still there. She hadn’t given me a single clue as to why splitting in a hurry felt like her only option. I just hoped now she had a real reason to stay.
