And…
OhmyGod.
She’d been so lost to Eb that she hadn’t even cared about where they were.
ChapterTwelve
She’d thankedhim for the best orgasm of her life.A very polite and well-mannered thank you while he’d just wanted to grab her, lift her up in his arms, and thrust hard and deep into her until they both hurtled straight into a mind-blowing, body-shaking release.He’d wanted to fuck her endlessly, and she’dthankedhim.
His hands gripped the steering wheel.
I also fucked her in what was supposed to be her marriage bed.
Only she’d replaced the mattress…so, not technically the marriage bed but still…
Her husband died in that room.And I fucked her there.
A fucking.A…claiming?
Yeah, maybe he should apologize.Only he didn’t exactly feel sorry for what he’d done.More like, he wanted to take her again at the first opportunity.
“Who’s a good boy?”Naomi cooed beside him.
His hands gripped the wheel even tighter.
“You deserve all the treats in the world.You are the best boy.The smartest, the bravest.I adore you.”
Okay, hell, now he was getting jealous of her freakingdog.She kept cooing at Henry, and she’d given the dog a ton of treats since they’d picked him up from the fire station.And the damn dogwasgood, Eb would give him that.Better than good.
Rock star status.
But…
“Could you get back in your seat?”Eb snapped at her.“I’d prefer for us not to have an accident where you wind up decapitated.”
She huffed.Patted the dog again as he sat in the backseat, then slowly twisted back around and resettled in the front passenger seat.“How about you drive safely, and I won’t get decapitated?Hmmm?How about that?”
He was working on it but… “When your ass keeps rubbing against me, it’s fucking distracting.”She had a world-class ass.
“Oh, was I doing that?”
Fake innocence.He’d bet his life on it.“Naomi…”
She hummed.“We both agree that Ivan is suspect number one for the arson at my property.Goes without saying.”
“You gave me and the cops a bullshit list of your enemies.I need a real list.”How could he investigate when she just kept holding back on him?
Now she gasped.Okay, dramatic Naomi was in full effect.Damn if it wasn’t almost…cute for some weird-ass reason to him.
“That list was not bullshit!”Naomi declared.“I gave you and the detective an actual, real, honest-to-God list of my enemies.”
“You listed Ivan.”
“Right.Yes.And he remains at the top of my list.He’s a seriously shady criminal who had tight ties to Hudson.The man stole my dog.Hours after we get my dog back, my house is magically set on fire?Come on, we can both connect those dots.”
Magic had nothing to do with it.When they’d picked up Henry, Eb’s new firefighter contact, Jeffrey Lee.had let slip that arson was definitely suspected.Surprise, surprise.
“All signs point to Ivan for me,” Naomi continued determinedly.“But we can’t forget Hudson’s cousin Jaxon.He thinks I killed Hudson and am trying to make off with Hudson’s money and family assets.The man called me a murderer straight to my face.”
