Before the apartment door slammed behind me, my fingers were working to unbutton the suffocating dress shirt while simultaneously tugging the bottom out of my slacks. A happy yip followed by a loud, hateful hiss had me rolling my eyes as I ripped the shirt off, followed by the damp undershirt, carrying both to my bedroom to toss in the overflowing hamper.

Kicking off my shoes, I stripped the rest of my clothes off, placed my police-issued sidearm on the dresser, and headed for the bathroom. A sigh of relief slipped out as my bare feet pressed to the cold tile, soothing some of the heat boiling under my skin. With a flick of the lever, water sputtered from the showerhead, quickly turning into a steady stream. Not waiting for it to warm, I stepped beneath the spray, the soothing water immediately cooling my temper and erasing the evidence from the earlier meeting.

It was disturbing how good I was at making adult men cry, forcing them to bend to my will by pain and fear. This time it was for a good cause, so I wouldn’t lose sleep over what I did to that fucker. Breathing deeply in relief at not sweating for the first time since I woke up this morning, I watched the evidence of my actions swirl down the drain until the pink water ran clear.

Forearm pressed to the chipped tile, I dipped my head beneath the water, eyes closed as the memory of last night flashed to the forefront of my mind for the millionth time. Despite the freezing water, my cock stirred to life, tapping against my thigh. With an annoyed grunt, I glared at my dick, hardening and desperate for relief. Knuckles scraped and raw from earlier, I relished the bite of pain as I wrapped my palm around my cock and squeezed until blood seeped from the wounds, only to disappear into the water.

A tortured groan vibrated in my throat as I worked my hand up and down my thick shaft. Lost in the sensation, I jerked, hand loosening, when the woman from Danny Smith’s job popped into my head. The clear disgust and anger on her face, her accusing words, drained all desire from me, leaving gut-wrenching guilt in its wake. My fingers tightened into a fist as I stared at the white tile, unable to stop her words from screaming in my mind.

Breaths coming hard and fast, I squeezed both eyes shut, trying to get my brain to stop flipping through all the people I’d let down in my life, reminding me of all the times I’d failed. It wasn’t just as a detective but in the Navy, as a SEAL. Shit happened that I’d never forget.

A sharp bark had me whirling around to search the small bathroom for the noise. That damn fluff ball stood just outside the shower door, tiny paws on the glass, scratching like he was desperate to get inside with me. Like he knew where my mind had drifted.
