There was a beat of stillness until she whispered…
“Thief.”
Iwasa thief, and she was my biggest score.
Jade slowed and leaned back, letting me marvel at her little smile right before she picked up speed, and smashed her mouth with mine.
“Why didn’t you come sooner?” Jade pleaded into my lips, taking her time sliding up and down on my cock. “I…” She threw her head back, giving me a heavenly view. “I really…really…”
But I didn’t let her finish. I sucked her into another kiss, one that I never wanted to let go of. One that I hoped could magically solve the clusterfuck we were in the middle of.
“Baby,” I rasped into her lips, the air between us hot andours.“I’m never letting you go again, you hear me? Never.”
She picked up the pace, and my hands slipped from her waist to cup her cheeks, forcing her to look at me. I wanted to see allthe doubt drain from her eyes. I wanted to know that she was sure of my words.
Jade nodded, letting out a broken little moan and resting her forehead against mine. Her hands, previously clawing at my shoulders, softened, her fingers tracing the line of my jaw.
“Promise?” she whispered, her voice shaking.
I pulled her in closer, until there was no air between us. Until she was glued to me, stuck like Velcro—every one of her fibers hooked into mine. I guided her hips on me, unhurried and deep. The way she liked it. I wanted to do everything the waysheliked.
“Promise,” I murmured in her ear. “I promise.”
Everything blurred into white noise when we were together. The world didn’t exist when Jade’s body molded with mine.
There was no drug more powerful than this. No adrenaline rush, no person or thing could ever hold my interest again when I had her.
In and out. Fast and slow. We fucked, and we made love.
My girlfriend. My love.

Secrets
Jade
It was past midnight, but I was wide awake, sitting in Alex’s lap with a wine glass in my hand. His fingers dragged up and down my naked thigh as I delivered the news, barely holding back my laughter.
“I have a date next week. With one of the investigators.”
Alex’s pupils dilated so fast that his already dark eyes turned almost black. “A date?” His voice was low, dangerous enough to send a shiver through me. “Who’s bold enough to ask my girlfriend out on a date?”
I giggled, giving him a little peck, but he took it further. His fingers dug into my flesh, and he pressed me to him, as if sucking me into a kiss would mark me as his.
Forever his.
“There’s this investigator, I think he likes me, and—”
“Of course he likes you.” Alex nodded, calm, but alert. He was jealous, and it turned me on.
“He’s been on the team since the beginning, he knows everything. He’s the perfect tool. If I can steal his laptop, we can figure out how to break into it and then have access toall the information.” Alex didn't interrupt and listened intently. "We can figure out which evidence is located where and make it disappear."
I was still so proud of my plan and how I’d charmed Julian that morning. Alex mulled it over while he twirled a lock of my hair.
"You don't need to steal his laptop. We just need access to it. We've done it before; it's not very complicated."
I sat there stunned and a little dejected that my original plan didn't seem to be the best option.
