determined to make her see that. He reached down to her knees and pushed her legs open. Her breath
caught as she met his gaze, but she didn t move to stop him. Progress.
He reached between them and pressed his palm to her mound. He could feel her heat through the
fabric of her pants, and he knew that if he could push inside her like he wanted to, she d be wet for
him.
Her eyes drifted closed as he rubbed her, and he leaned forward, nipping at the curve of her neck
while she wasn t expecting it. She jumped under his unexpected touch and made the sexiest sound of
surprise he d ever heard.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her, leaning back at the same time until she was
straddling him on the stool as he kept kissing her throat.
Her arms held him tightly as though she thought he might drop her, but he had her perfectly
balanced. There wasn t any way he was going to mess up having her in this position.
He gripped her ponytail to angle her head in the other direction so he could give the same
attention to the other side of her neck, and she signaled her approval as she started to move against
him. He was torn between the discomfort of his erection pressing against his pants and the need to
move against her. Damn, he needed to get her into bed as soon as possible.
But then she tilted his head back and kissed him fiercely even as she pulled at her blouse,
throwing it on the floor next to them. Luke immediately pulled at the hem of her tank, desperate to
expose as much of her skin as possible. Desperate to get more of her.
She pulled away from him just long enough to pull off the tank top and bra in one quick motion.
His breath left him as her beautiful breasts were freed right in front of his eyes. But he couldn t
touch her and keep her on his lap at the same time. Which meant he needed to adjust positions ASAP.
He stood with her in his arms, kicking the stool down. It fell with a loud bang as he positioned her
ass on the edge of the counter. She tugged at his belt, and he knew they were on the same wavelength.
God, he loved this woman. He pushed her hands away and undid his pants himself, pushing them
down and kicking off his shoes at the same time.
Evelyn turned back to her own pants, and he helped lift her so the material could slide down her
legs. He knelt down to unzip her boots until she was fully naked.
He took in the sight of the most beautiful woman he d ever seen: naked, leaning back and staring
at him with lust in her eyes. He might never be able to eat on this counter again, but, damn, it was
worth it.
 I need you so bad. He stood up and positioned himself between her legs. He wanted to romance
her. Seduce her. Prove to her why she should stay.
But every time he was around her, logic seemed to slip away, replaced with the primal urge to get
her naked and beneath him as soon as possible.
At least it seemed he wasn t the only one. Evelyn reached between them and wrapped her fingers
around his cock and all rational thought fled. He needed to be inside her. Now.
She positioned the tip of his cock at her entrance, and he didn t wait any longer. Luke held her
close as he pushed in. Her head fell back as she moaned his name.
He pulled almost completely out before he thrust in again; her breasts jiggled at the motion, and he
thought he might come right then and there. He was never going to get enough of this woman.
But he was determined to make her come. He just needed to hold on...
One arm wrapped around her waist and held her steady as the other one found the small, sensitive
nub right above her entrance and pushed.
Evelyn gasped and moaned at the same time. The sexy noise went straight to Luke s cock. Damn.
His thrusts came faster and harder, his own body directing the pressure his hand was putting on
her clit, and he said a silent thanks as her orgasm hit her hard.
The feeling of her clenching tightly around him was all it took to push him over the edge. He had
to use both hands to hold her ass as he came, the release shaking his entire body.
He opened his eyes a second later and held the breathless Evelyn close. He rested his head
against her neck and ran his hands along her back, savoring the feel of her. He might be losing her
soon, but at least she was still with him for now. He d savor the moment and take advantage of any
future ones as long as she d let him.
Evelyn ran her hands over his back and pressed a kiss to his neck.  You re officially a bad
influence.
 Tell me something I don t know, he muttered, even as a grin covered his face.
 I can t believe I didn t even get you shirtless. She pulled at the buttons of his shirt.
 Night is young, he promised.  I have plenty of time to keep corrupting you.
He started to pick her up, but she shook her head.  Wait.
Luke winced. Was he going to have to convince her that this was a good idea all over again?
Evelyn reached back and grabbed her holstered gun and cell phone from the counter.  I m ready
now.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
 Tell me everything you know about Easson Harper. Evelyn pulled Hotchins into the conference
room next to Luke s office.
He held out a folder and set it down.  Nothing good. He s military background, but his files were
sealed. If you can read between the blacked-out sections, you ll know as much as me.
Evelyn frowned as she pulled the folder from his hands and opened it on the conference table.
 Military? What branch? What squad?
 Nothing. Everything was classified, even for me. It took me three days to even get this.
She frowned as she flipped the pages in the file, skimming over everything that wasn t concealed
by a fat black marker.  This doesn t make sense. He seemed trained, but I was able to fight him off
easy enough.
 Well, you re special. He probably wasn t expecting a fight when he came up on you.
He hadn t expected a fight as he snuck up on a woman alone in her apartment.  This man is
dangerous, she muttered.
 Does Luke s assistant realize what she s gotten herself into? Hotchins took a seat.
 I didn t tell Luke about it. Hotchins frowned and Evelyn rolled her eyes.  Don t judge me. She
was out with this guy for the entire weekend and didn t have a scratch on her. What harm could a few
more days do?
He raised a brow.  Since you already know the answer to that, I m not going to dignify it with a
response.
 Fair enough.
 But you should ve told Luke, he said.
 Scared of a lawsuit?
 You seemed to be getting along lately. I d hate for that newfound trust to be ruined.
Evelyn felt the blood rush from her face and tried to keep her reaction neutral. Did Hotchins know
exactly how well they d been getting along? Ever since that episode on Luke s counter, she d hardly
been able to take her hands off him. The only boundary she d been able to maintain was no showers.
At least she could slightly concentrate on hearing if anyone broke into the apartment.
 We ve been able to set aside our differences for a common goal, she said carefully.
 That s good. He mentioned that you were hoping to get back to Texas when this investigation was
over.
Evelyn crossed her arms over her chest and stood up straighter. What was Luke doing talking to
Hotchins behind her back?  That s hardly a secret. You ve already declined three of my transfer
requests.
 You do good work here. I know it feels like you re running on a treadmill getting nowhere, but
you ve made more progress with Thirteen Stars in a few months than we ve done in years. I d hate to
lose a resource like you. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
