Then I pull off her panties and devour her. Closing my lips over her exposed bud and flicking at it. Plunging one finger, then two inside her silken heat, pumping them in rhythm with the movement of my tongue.

“God, Ben.” It’s a throaty moan.

I can feel her internal muscles pulling at my fingers, her excitement coating them. Her inner thighs shake and her stomach tightens. She’s close.

I lift my head for a second, looking up at Thea. Her head is tipped back, rosy lips slightly parted, her breasts flushed and heaving. Her hair spills across the bedspread, a sea of shimmering curls. Then she meets my gaze, her eyes filled with love and desire. She looks absolutely stunning.

As I lower my mouth to the apex of her thighs again, Thea says, “Please. I need to feel you inside me. I’m almost… but I need you. To feel you…”

Yes. I can do that.

But I have too many clothes on. So I yank off my jeans and T-shirt, growling a little when my briefs get stuck for a second. Thea giggles, a bright, perfect sound. “I guess you’re ready, then?”

“Oh, I’m ready.” It’s a growl laced with a promise.

As I brace myself above her, I can’t believe how damn lucky I am. To have found this woman—so kind, so smart, so gorgeous, and she’s all mine.

“I love you so much,” I groan, kissing along her jaw and down her neck.

“I love you,” she whispers, as her small hands grip my biceps. “More than anything.”

Her legs fall open and I notch myself at her center, aching to sink inside of her. I’m throbbing, the pressure close to exploding. My skin is hot and tight, so sensitive, the lightest brush of my tip against her is absolute ecstasy.

We exchange a look, something deeper than love passing between us. A certainty.

And then I move, plunging deep, bottoming out, and it’s everything.

The feel of her velvety walls as I move in and out, the slickness of her heat, how tight she is around me.

The sound of her moans and tiny whimpers, how her nails dig into my skin.

Her legs wrapped around my waist, holding me inside her. The quivering of her inner muscles as she gets closer to completion.

It’s everything when Thea flies over the edge, letting out a primal cry of pleasure, her body clutching desperately at me. And I finish right along with her, clasping her in my arms as I pulse into her.

One day, it could be for real.

It’s a flicker of thought, but it feels right.

Minutes later, once we’re cleaned up, Thea snuggles against me. “Did you like it?” Her fingers trace little patterns across my chest. “Really?”

“The sexy librarian?” I curl her hair around my finger. “I loved it, Thea. You can do that any time.”

“I wasn’t sure at first…” She hesitates. “I get nervous, sometimes. Putting myself out there like that. I never even imagined… but with you, it feels okay. Good.”

“Oh, sweetheart,” I growl at her, flashing her a toothy grin. “You have nothing to be nervous about. Trust me.”

Her cheeks go pink, and she’s so damn adorable I almost blurt out what I was thinking a few minutes ago. But we should probably talk about some other things first. Like where we’re going to go after all this is over. Will Thea come with me back to my house? Or will she want to go back to her condo?

I want her to come live with me. Not just temporarily, because she’s in danger, but for good.

Just as I’m screwing up my courage to ask, of course, my phone starts buzzing insistently. I’d let it go to voicemail, but if it’s Georgia, or Leo… So I get out of bed, my expression apologetic. “I’m sorry, I have to get it—”

She nods at me quickly. “Of course.”

Maybe it’s nothing, and I can get right back into bed with Thea. I hope.

But as I answer the phone, still naked, Cole’s tone tells me it’s far from nothing. “Ben. I have news.”
