“Wes got held up at the office,” Cooper reported to Anita, while he shoved his cellphone back into his pocket. “But Luther and Katie are on their way back. Once they’re here, we can leave.”

He glanced at Jacob, glad to see that he was asleep in the playpen.

“Good.” She suddenly wrapped her arms around him. “Have I thanked you already for figuring out what these women have in common?”

He slipped one arm around her and drew her closer. “I don’t think so, and I do have a very good memory.” Then he looked at the large clock in the living room. “We have about fifteen minutes, Jacob is sleeping.” He grinned. “That’s just enough time for you to thank me.”

Anita smirked and rolled her eyes. “You’re incorrigible, Cooper. I was thinking of a kiss, not of having sex.”

He held her tightly and brought his face to hers. “You should know by now that one kiss with you is not enough for me. Just the thought of it does things to me.” He pressed his groin against hers.

A breath of air rushed from her lips. “Oh. I forgot about that.”

“Liar,” he teased and pressed a soft kiss on her lips, before pulling back a little. “You know exactly what you’re doing to me, and you’re enjoying it. Wait until the shoe is on the other foot, and I’ll turn you into a woman who can think of only one thing, and that’s my cock inside her.”

She blushed. “I thought you already did that last night.”

“Babe, I haven’t even started yet. Last night was just a test drive to see if we’re compatible.”

“And are we? Compatible?”

“Oh yeah, very compatible. In fact, we fit so perfectly together that it’s a wonder we got through this day without me pinning you to the nearest flat surface and fucking you senseless. I’ve been thinking of all kinds of things we could do.”

It was something he would take care of later tonight, once they’d dealt with a few things about the serial killer case.

“Do those things include me on my knees in front of you, sucking you?”

Cooper palmed her ass with both hands and yanked her toward him, his cock rapidly filling with blood. “Most definitely.”

She batted her eyelashes at him, looking at him like the seductress she was, and leaned in, offering her lips.

“If you kiss me now, I have to warn you: I will toss you over the back of the sofa and sink my cock into you and fuck you. And I won’t care if my aunt and uncle walk in on us.”

Anita gasped and shrank back but didn’t free herself from his embrace. “You do have a wild streak, don’t you?”

“You have no idea.” It was the vampire in him who was untamed.

She looked deep into his eyes, and the blue color of her irises seemed to smolder like an icy fire. “I like a little wildness in a man.”

“That’s what I thought.” It gave him hope that she would welcome his vampire side too, once he was ready to reveal that untamed side of himself. “Maybe I’ll let you tame me.”

“You think I can manage that?”

“If anybody can, it’s you.”

“Do you say that to every woman you sleep with?”

He chuckled, enjoying their lighthearted banter. “As a matter of fact, I don’t.” He heard a faint sound from the entrance door. Somebody was putting a key into the lock. He released Anita from his arms. “I think they’re here.”

“I don’t hear anything.”

The sound of the heavy entrance door opening drifted into the living room. Anita gave him a surprised look.

“You must have better hearing than I.”

Cooper shrugged it off. Anita would find out soon enough just how sensitive all his senses were. “Come, I’ll introduce you to them.”
