She made little noises as she ate. Soon, I was hard again. My cock was not getting the memo that it was late, and we’d already had more than our fill of her.

“We should get some sleep.” She took the now-empty box and set it on the bedside table. Then she saw the tented sheet over my lap and cocked a brow. “Might be a little hard to sleep like that.”

“Ignore it.”

“That would be impossible.” She pulled the sheet off me, baring my rock-hard cock. Then she crawled across the bed, smiling. “Why don’t you let me help you out?”

I leaned back, my muscles tight. “Okay.”

Her hand circled the base of my cock. My hips jerked.

“Just relax.” She kissed my thigh. “I’ll take good care of you.”

Jess

An insistent beep woke me.

I opened my eyes and realized I was lying on top of North.

He was flat on his back, and I was nestled on him like a baby koala. One big hand was possessively cupping my ass.Mmm.

I didn’t want to get up. I was warm, and North was a surprisingly comfy bed. Besides, it was still dark outside.

The beep came again and I realized it was my communicator.

Sighing, I rolled off him. I sensed the instant he woke. I reached for my comm unit, taking note of a few new aches in a few interesting places.

I answered the device, keeping the visual off. “Ramos.”

“Jess.” It was Sasha’s voice. “Sorry to wake you. Emergency callout.”

Shit. I glanced at my clock. It was only 2:30 in the morning. This couldn’t be good. “Got it.” I pushed my hair back.

“Jameson will be there to pick you up in five minutes. Okay?”

My heart kicked. Five minutes was not long enough for North to get home.

“Jess?” Sasha said.

I shook my head. “Sure thing, Sasha. I’ll be ready.”

There was the sound of another communicator pinging.

“You’ve got North.” He sat up, holding his comm unit, his voice gravelly from sleep.

“Why didn’t you answer the first time I called you?” Sasha said.

“I was sleeping.”

“Well, wake up. We’ve got a job.”

“What is it?”

“A group of people were taken from the town of Picton.”

North cursed. “That’s not far from here, right?”

“Right. It’s not far from the old national park area that borders Lake Burragorang.”
