I moaned a little when he got a bit more assertive and gripped my hair to tip my head to the left a bit more and scraped his teeth up my jaw.“We might need to go slow,” he murmured against my heated skin.
“I’m okay with slow.”
I shifted a little in his lap and felt the telltale bulge of his excitement, but I didn’t grind against it.We were taking this slow.And “slow” didn’t involve dry humping in his truck cab in the middle of the day.
Closing my eyes, I let him mold my body and mouth the way he wanted.I was hot and so turned on, and barely able to contain my lust when, like a cold splash of water on a raging bonfire, a knock at the door made us both jump.
I opened my eyes and spun to the window to see Officer Myla Bruce standing on the other side of the window with a surprised look on her face.
“Do we chalk this up to another rite of passage?”I asked him as the stain of embarrassment replaced the flush of arousal on his cheeks.
He snorted.“I suppose.Might need to make a list and tick them off together.”
I grinned like an idiot as he rolled down the window for Myla.“I’m down for that.”Then I squeaked when he pinched my butt, and all the butterflies in my belly held up signs telling me they were in love.
CHAPTER TEN

“Yes,Officer.Ofcourse,Officer,” I said, trying not to smirk too hard as the young female island cop tried her best to read Naomi and me the riot act.Though, judging by the way her mouth kept trying to lift at the corners, she found it just as funny as we did.
“You’re lucky it was me,” Officer Bruce said, rolling her emerald-green eyes.“I was just on a cruise around, and after what happened here last year, I always tuck into Heaven’s Leap and check things out.Then I saw the foggy windows and, well … definitely wasn’t expecting the new principal and Naomi Geuer to be necking.”
Naomi snorted.“Did you really just say ‘necking,’ Myla?How old are you?”
That made the pretty cop laugh.“You know what I mean.I didn’t know you two were a thing.Probably best to take it home though, huh?”
“He’s got a kid and I’ve got two kids.Where could we possibly go?”Naomi asked.
She was right.I hadn’t thought about that.This was all very new, and we were taking it slow.I certainly wasn’t ready to go full throttle into a blended family with Mabel, Honor, and Austin, and I doubt Naomi was either.Where would we find time to be together without alerting our offspring?
Myla’s gaze turned sympathetic.“I don’t know, but it can’t be here.At least not during the day.”
Naomi crawled off my lap, and that’s when I realized I had a rather painful erection.She knocked my cock with her knee and it was all I could do not to groan in agony.
“Can you maybe keep this on the DL for a bit, Myla?”Naomi asked.“It’s still rather new.We’re taking it slow, figuring things out.It would be nice if the whole island didn’t know.Not yet anyway.”
Myla did a lip zip-lock-and-toss-the-key.“Police-perp confidentiality.”
“Is that a thing?”I asked.Then I glanced at Naomi.“Are we perps?”
She shrugged.
The police officer’s smile widened.“No.But I won’t say anything.You guys should get going though.”Her gaze pivoted toward the road.“And I’d do so soon since there are three vehicles making their way toward us now and one of them appears to belong to Jolene Dandy.”
“Shit!”Naomi exclaimed, awkwardly crawling over the center console into the back of the truck.She hid behind the passenger seat.“That’s The Island Mouth.If she sees us together, every island in the Puget Sound will know by sundown.”
“Put your belt on when you’re out of Dodge,” Myla said before heading back to her cruiser.
I waited until she drove off before turning my truck back on and pulling out.I smiled at the people in the other cars; one woman’s eyes lit up when she saw me.She waved, and I waved back, but hit the accelerator a little harder to put some more distance between us.
“Coast is clear,” I said to the woman hiding in the back.“You can come out now.”
Her side-eye was cheeky as she climbed over the console into the front seat and put on her belt.“Myla brought up a good point.Wherecanwe go to get to know each other better?”
I lifted one shoulder.“I have no idea.My kid is always home.”
“And when mine aren’t, you’re at work.”
