If I wasn’t careful, I would easily choke.

“Very naughty of you to stare at a naked man after he just woke up. You must know how dangerous a situation of that nature can be. Since you gravitate toward all things treacherous, I think I might need to punish you. That’s reason number two. Do you remember reason number one that you need a long… hard… spanking?”

I didn’t gravitate toward treachery. Well, maybe on this trip.

“Wha?” My surprised cry was strangled, enough I shoved my hand over my mouth so I wouldn’t continue spitting all over myself. Was he kidding me? He was tempting me with his sinfully sexy body and long… thick… Oh, wow. His cock was even harder than the night before, the veins on the side throbbing. Seeing the tip purple and pulsing, I longed to ease his pain by wrapping my wet mouth around it.

“You heard me.” He held up his hand with two fingers exposed. “The first being running out in front of my car. I can tell you’re the kind of brat who refuses to follow rules. But I’ll help fix that pesky little problem.”

I shook my head vigorously, fighting to turn on the water so I could spit out both the toothpaste and my answer.

But the sleeping giant was too quick for my actions. He moved away from the door, closing it behind him then fisting a handful of my hair. “You heard me, brat. You aren’t leaving until I tell you it’s allowed. And that might take a very… long… time.”

With a gleam in his eye, what did the crazy smokejumper decide to do, toothpaste and all?

Capture my mouth.

CHAPTER 23

Steel

Hot sex in the morning.

It had been a long time since I’d awakened next to a stunning beauty. Correction, it had been a long time since I’d awakened to find that same beauty had escaped.

At first, I’d thought she’d left the house altogether until I’d heard the water running. How interesting that until this moment, I’d long had no interest in waking up with anyone in my house.

Or in my bed.

Longer than I cared to admit openly.

Truth be told, my relationship with Tanya had likely been over with a long time before I’d caught her with Tom.

What struck me instantly was the punch in the stomach effect I’d experienced this morning when thinking Violet had left. The ugliness had been stronger than when I’d caught Tom with his dick buried inside Tanya. How strange was that?

I kept my fingers wrapped around Violet’s hair, holding her in place since she was a damn good escape artist. At least I didn’t need to worry about morning bad breath, the toothpaste curing that while providing a little foam for fun.

She tried to avoid the desire that had been written all over her face for a full minute, her resolve shocking the hell out of me. But I’d worn her down and she was rubbing her palm across my chest while undulating her hips against mine.

I was rock hard, so much so my balls ached. The night had been a pleasant surprise and one I didn’t want to end. Besides, it was early. I didn’t need to be at the base for a couple of hours. I could afford the time.

Including providing her with a not-so-subtle reminder about how dangerous her reckless behavior could be.

The kiss was as romantic as possible with foam dripping from our lips, but my hunger was off the charts on this gorgeous June day. There was also the realization the kid could wake up at any moment. I escalated the situation, pulling apart our lips. I could sense the evil grin I was wearing when I was the one who turned on the water, sticking my face under the faucet. After spitting out the globs of toothpaste, I pointed toward the stream of water.

To which she looked at me skeptically but dipped her hand under the faucet. In the meantime, I was clever with my actions, opening a drawer next to her hip. With her long hair falling in her face, she couldn’t pay a bit of attention when I pulled out my hairbrush.

She’d just turned off the water when I pressed her against the edge of the counter. With a flip and twirl of the brush so shecould see my intentions, I brought the brush down against her bottom.

“Ouch! What are you doing?” Her cry was hushed but still shrill enough she cringed as soon as she cried.

“You know exactly what I’m doing. I suggest you take your medicine like a good girl.”

“Oh, no, you don’t.” She had me laughing when she tried to scoot away. If she thought I had any intention of letting her off the hook, she was sorely wrong and her butt would soon reflect that.

All I had to do was to crowd her space, wrapping one leg rather awkwardly around hers and smacking her bottom several times in a row. She wiggled and moaned, giving me nasty looks all reflected in the mirror. I knew she could tell I was enjoying the hell out of myself. Maybe more than I had in a long time.

As angry as I’d been with her the night before, a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders. Maybe she was right and I could find time to talk with Axe. I didn’t allow my thoughts to stray too far, smacking her sit spot several times while she hopped from one foot to another. She was wet, her pussy lips glistening.
