“I’m heavy. Nice and easy works for me.”
“Glad to hear it,” she said smiling, and opened up her stride, laughing softly as he chuckled behind her.
They ran with the sunshine hitting them between the trees that draped over the streets, running past houses where children played in backyards and dogs barked behind chain-link fences.
Gillian loved to run. She was glad she hadn’t tied back her hair because it fluttered behind her, lifting with the breeze they created as their feet ate up the pavement. When they’d made a circle, a short mile by her estimation, she began to slow, halting at the edge of her drive. His pickup, a black monster on oversized tires, had no gate on the back of the bed, so she hopped up to rest, dragging in deep reviving breaths. “That was enough for me for today.”
“Want to do it, again?”
“Tomorrow?” she asked, wishing she hadn’t sounded quite so eager.
“Same time?”
“Sure,” she said smiling. “So, Officer Hedron, is that your idea of a date?”
His lips curved into a smile, and he glanced away. “Maybe.”
Before she could think better of it, she blurted, “Want to come inside for a drink? I have juice, Gatorade…”
“I’m not thirsty,” he said quietly, his gaze locking with hers long enough to tell her he was just as aroused as she was.
Gillian paused, and then took a deep breath. “Hungry?”
His gaze landed on her. “You move kinda fast.”
She didn’t even try to pretend she hadn’t meant it that way. “Is that going to be a problem for you?”
He leaned a hip against the truck and folded his massive arms over his chest. “Sorry about how I acted yesterday, but you surprised me.”
“Why? You didn’t know the new officer was a woman?”
“I didn’t know I’d want you.” At her sharp indrawn breath, he shrugged. “Didn’t figure you’d mind some straight talk.”
“I don’t.” She drew a deep breath and locked on his narrowed eyes. “I’m just wondering if you’ll think I’m a complete slut if I ask you inside to fuck me.”
“Jesus.” His hand dropped between his legs, and he winced as he rearranged himself. “Would you consider me a man-whore if I said, let’s get it on?”
Gillian grinned. The kind of cheeky, carefree stretch of lips that she hadn’t felt like giving anyone in a long, long while. She jumped off the tail bed of his truck and led the way to her front door, which she’d left unlocked, it being a small town and all.
The walk to her bedroom was as slow as she could manage. She didn’t want him knowing how badly she wanted this. He’d think her completely desperate.
But when she crossed the threshold, he was already stripping. Just as eager, just as breathless as she was.
The sight of his bared chest left her gasping. Wide-set shoulders with thick mounds of muscle on top and at the corners of his shoulders. Breasts bulging, rippling as he flexed involuntarily with the clenching of his fists. “You sure about this?”
Maybe he asked because she’d halted, and her mouth was hanging open. She toed off her shoes, stripped her tight tee over her head and unclasped her sports bra before she looked at him again. A good thing, because he was naked, and the lower half of him was equally ripped, equally breath-stealing. His huge, ridged cock made her mouth water.
It turned upward, as thick and imposing as the rest of him. She couldn’t wait to feel the pinch of his girth stretching her from the inside as he crammed inside her. But first, he rolled a condom down his length.
She shoved down her shorts and briefs and headed straight for the bed, pulling back the coverlet and exposing the clean sheets she’d swapped for the drenched set she’d woken in earlier.
Here was a more appropriate, licentious fuck. She didn’t have to feel guilty about wanting it. Didn’t have to worry about losing everything she valued, including herself respect. She climbed onto the bed, knowing he was staring at her ass and rolled to her back, before slowly spreading her legs in invitation.
A low groan, sounding more like an animalistic growl, rumbled from him, and she smiled and reached down to trace the edges of her folds.
He stomped forward, staring down at her sex, then gripped her ankles hard and pulled her toward the edge of the bed. When her legs draped over it, dangling toward the floor, he knelt between her thighs, spread her with his fingers, and bent to run his tongue along her damp slit.
Gillian closed her eyes on a sigh and lifted her legs over his broad shoulders, snuggling her bottom closer the end of the bed as he continued to lick and suck, his teeth capturing an inner fold and nibbling on it for a moment before his tongue stroked into her entrance and swirled.
