resisted the urge
to tug at the revealing bodice, but there was little she could do about the heat
creeping into her cheeks or between her legs at his hot perusal.
“Stay put.” With that he walked back
to his patrol car then slid into the driver’s seat.
She chewed her lower lip. Great.
Just great. Now he would know just how many times she’d been pulled over.
Seconds stretched to minutes. What
if she’d missed paying a ticket and there was a bench warrant, or worse, she
was driving on a suspended license? Panic seized and shook her hard. She didn’t
think she could talk her way out of that.
Static crackled into the silent
night. She glanced at the officer. He still watched her. He had a hand to his
shoulder while his lips moved. Disconcerted, she squinted. Ah, his radio, and
he’s smiling. Hopefully it’s good news. He wouldn’t be smiling if he was going
to arrest her.
The low cadence of his voice drifted
to her ears, but his words were indistinct. She smoothed a hand down her short
yellow skirt. The little ruffled hem flared a moment before settling back in
place. She tucked a wayward curl behind her ear and leaned against the side of
her car, in what she hoped was a sexy pose. Maybe if she flashed enough skin,
he’d let her go altogether. She resisted the urge to stare him down. What is
taking so long?
“Copy that.”
Kerry blinked in the sudden
darkness. He’d turned the lights off on the cruiser. A door slammed, followed
by footsteps crunching across the gravel. Her pulse picked up as the wind
brought the subtle scent of musk to her nostrils. She sniffed appreciatively
and waited for the officer to approach.
He halted in front of her, close
enough to feel the heat of his body. She swallowed hard. There was just enough
light from the street lamps to illuminate the documents dangling from his
fingertips and the expression on his face. “It seems you make a habit of
speeding.”
She grasped the papers, but he held
tight. Kerry met his gaze and read avid interest in the clear green depths.
“I—”
“I’m sure we could come up with some
sort of agreement.” He stepped close, his chest brushing her breast on each
inhale while he placed a hand on the car roof next to her right shoulder. He
leaned even closer. “Put your papers away and we’ll discuss terms.”
She studied him a moment. He was
actually going to take her up on her offer. Desire warmed her veins while she
fought down a sudden attack of nerves. When their fingers touched, a jolt of
awareness zipped up her arm. She focused on his eyes, and realized he’d felt it
too.
Before her resolve could retreat,
she grabbed her documents and turned to drop them in her purse. When she stood
on tiptoe and stretched her arm to grab the trunk lid, his hard body pressed
into her back. She stiffened when he closed his hand over hers. Together they
pulled down the lid.
Warm, moist breath grazed her cheek,
while soft lips skimmed her ear. A shiver of anticipation eased down her spine
and tightened her nipples. He curved a forearm around her middle and hauled her
close. His erection wedged against her buttocks and she couldn’t help but
wiggle her bottom.
He held her in place and rolled his
hips. “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. Unless you want me to.”
She swallowed at the seductive purr
in his voice. It touched a need deep inside that she longed to have him
satisfy.
Not once did she think to struggle.
She was utterly alone on the service road for the nearby school, and since it
was summer, no one ever traveled this way. They wouldn’t be disturbed.
Excitement slinked down her spine and pulsed in her clit. Open fields and tall
privacy fences separated them from the nearest subdivision. Alone in the night,
with a sexy cop. This was definitely on her wish list.
His hand sidled over her belly and
up her ribcage to cup her breast. A sigh eased past her lips. Sensations she
hadn’t felt in a long time rippled through her body. She welcomed
