Jule Reigh and the Jim Stone Affair
the
man she loved with all her heart. “It’s okay. I know you didn’t
mean it. Everything we said was all in fun.”
    “I love you too much to even make fun of
hurting you,” he murmured. “I just wanted to make sure you know
that.”
    “I do. By the way, what did you stick in my
back at the diner? It really felt like a gun at that moment.”
    Stone laughed. “My cell phone. It was all I
had on me, and when I came up behind you, it seemed appropriate
that a suspicious thief would do that.”
    “Nice touch, as well as what happened behind
the palms. You improvise very well.”
    “Thank you.” He clicked his glass to hers.
“So do you. I never did figure out which role you played—Interpol
agent or rival jewel thief. Which one?”
    “Interpol agent, of course.”
    He thought a moment then nodded. “That does
make more sense. Why would a rival need to take pictures of the
other thief?”
    She took a sip of champagne while thinking.
“Well, if she’s pretending she finds the other thief sexy and just
looking for a roll in the hay then that would be part of her
cover.”
    “True. You do have a knack for inventing
covers.”
    “Thanks. Maybe I should go into the spy
business.”
    “I don’t think Interpol agents are considered
spies.”
    “Oh. Then I guess it’s best I don’t.” She
took another bite of cake. “Mmmm, pink champagne and cake for
breakfast. How decadent.”
    “Not as decadent as what’s for dessert.”
Stone took her glass and set it with his on the nightstand.
    “But cake is dessert,” Jule protested,
batting her eyelashes innocently.
    “Not today.” He moved their plates to the
nightstand as well. “You have a little frosting right here—”
    He licked the corner of her mouth, turning it
into a kiss. Her body tingled in anticipation as if she hadn't just
spent an evening of stimulating sex with the man. She had craved
Stone ever since first meeting him at the diner two years ago, and
his kisses always made her feel desired and loved. Eagerly
surrendering her lips to his, she reveled in the taste and feel of
him.
    She put her hands on his shoulders then let
them drift down his chest until she found his nipples. She grazed
them with the tips of her fingers where both became hard nubs. She
played with the peaks, swirling her fingers around them then
plucking at them when a harsh moan sounded from deep inside his
throat.
    “I want you now," he growled against her
mouth.
    When he put his arms around her and slid her
down onto her back, sprinkling more kisses over her neck and
shoulder, she moved beneath him in a restless way, her body needing
his caresses everywhere. The more he touched her as his mouth
trailed over her breasts, where he roughly tongued her sensitive
nipples, the more she wanted him. With a sigh of longing, she
reached between their bodies and took his cock in hand, pumping the
hot silken skin of his hard erection.
    “Now,” she whispered to him, “oh, yes,
now.”
    Apparently encouraged by the way she held him
and her words, Stone moved over her and settled between her
outspread thighs. Her clit throbbed in a steady rhythm, and her
hips rose to meet him. Impatient to join with him, she helped
direct his cockhead to her center and gasped when they made
contact. His first deep thrust nearly sent her over the edge, but
she hung on, intending to enjoy every stroke. She hooked her legs
around his waist, and Stone rocked into her, hard and deep, again
and again.
    Their fantasy evening had been exhilarating,
but Jule loved this way best. She delighted in the way he nestled
into her, his weight pressing against her. While other positions
were fun to try, she preferred lying beneath him, face to face. She
liked that he was close enough to kiss and that she could easily
run her fingers through his thick hair. The intimate sound of his
panting increased her own desire, even when his exhaled breaths
tickled her ear.
    She let her hands roam the familiar lines of
his taut body
