Chapter Nineteen
Ransom
“Are you sure there aren’t any letters circled or highlighted? Maybe like you have to find them and then figure out what they spell?”
“Do you think we didn’t think of that?” I laughed. “I had read each of those magazines ten times. I could probably tell you word for word the article about how they challenged themselves to build something with only two by fours.” I grabbed my last fry and swiped it through my chocolate shake. “I’m hoping taking twenty-four hours off from looking at them will give me fresh eyes.”
I had to do something different.
Luna popped the last bite of her burger into her mouth and wiped her hands on a napkin. “Maybe you need to take your mind completely off of the case.”
“Oh, yeah?” I balled up the wrapper from my burger. “And just what do you have in mind?”
“A movie? Maybe a board game?” she suggested. “I’ve got Yahtzee or Monopoly.”
A smirk spread across my lips. “Not the suggestions I thought you were going to make, but I guess I could kick your ass in a game of Monopoly.”
“Oh, you are so going down, Ransom.” Luna gathered the garbage and jogged up the stairs.
I grabbed a couple of beers from the fridge and set them on the coffee table. “We doing this in the living room, right?” I hollered up the stairs. I waited a beat, but Luna didn’t say anything. “Luna,” I called.
No answer.
My cop brain kicked into gear and thought of every horrible thing that could have happened, all at once. I grabbed my gun from the table by the door and slowly made my way up the stairs. “Luna,” I called again.
I checked both spare bedrooms and the bathroom, but she wasn’t in there. The door to her bedroom was closed, and I didn’t see any light at the bottom of the door. I pressed my ear to the door and tried to hear anything on the other side. “Luna,” I called again.
The house was eerily quiet.
Two minutes ago, I had been talking and eating with Luna, and now, she was gone.
I opened the door, and all my fears were laid to rest when I flipped on the light and my eyes landed on Luna laid out on her bed like a feast for a starving man.
“Oh, Jesus,” Luna laughed when she spotted my gun. “I didn’t think you were going to come armed.”
I laughed and shook my head. “I guess I have an irrational fear of something happening to you. Don’t know why that would be.” I walked to the dresser and laid down my gun. “I don’t think I’ll be needing this anymore tonight.”
“I should hope not,” she whispered.
“I thought you wanted to play Monopoly.” I leaned against the dresser and folded my arms over my chest. “You might get a little cold if you plan to play like that.”
She looked down her body and then up at me. “Maybe we could play a different game,” she suggested. “Maybe spin the bottle or seven minutes in heaven?”
I threw my head back and laughed. This was my Luna. Playful, sexy, and all mine. “Or I could fuck you until we both can’t stand.”
“Then we might as well just stay in bed, so we don’t have to worry about standing.” Luna patted the bed next to her. I pulled my shirt over my head and kicked off my shoes.
“Was this your plan all along?” I asked.
Luna shrugged her bare shoulder and winked. “I mean, I do like to play Monopoly, but I think this is a better way to spend our night.”
I popped open the button on my jeans and pulled them down.
“Underwear, too, Detective. You don’t need to make this any harder on me than it’s going to be.” She waved her casted arm in the air. “I have a slight handicap.”
I made quick work of my underwear and slid into bed next to Luna. She turned into me and hitched her leg over my hip.
“This feels like home,” I whispered. I pressed soft, swift kisses along her neck and over her collarbone. “I dreamed of having you in bed again, Luna. All the time.”
She sighed and tipped her head to give me better access to her body. “I wonder if your dreams were anything like mine,” she whispered. “Because they all started just like this.”
“Same, babe.” I rolled over on top of her and pinned her arms above her head. “Is your wrist okay like this?” I asked. I wanted Luna to be mine, but I didn’t want to hurt her.
“A-okay, Detective,” she giggled.
“Keep your arms right there,” I ordered. In bed was about the only place that Luna actually did what she was told without asking why.
I trailed my hands down her arms and cupped her breasts.
“Such a boob man,” Luna gasped.
I squeezed gently and she bit her lip. “I think you could say I’m a Luna man. Every inch of you, I love.” I leaned down and pressed a kiss to swell of her breast.
She squirmed beneath me and bucked her hips. “Less talking and more kissing,” she pleaded.
I moved my hand to cup her breast and wrapped my mouth around her pert nipple.
A loud moan pulled from her mouth. This was why Luna thought I was a boob guy. Every time I would touch, kiss, or caress her breasts, she went off like a firework. She was the reason why I loved her breasts.
My other hand tweaked her nipple, and she moaned my name.
“Call me Row,” I grunted.
I was sick of her calling me Ransom. Luna was the only one who called me Row, and I wanted to hear it ripped from her lips while I slammed into her sweet pussy.
“Make me,” she gasped.
She knew what I wanted, and I was more than willing to work for it. I had waited two years for her; what was another minute or two?
I slid my hand down and didn’t stop until I was cupping her pussy. “I’ll get it out of you, Luna. You’re going to be screaming my name.” I parted her lips and swirled my finger over her clit.
“Oh, God,” she gasped. Her back bowed off the bed, and she pressed into my hand.
“That’s better than Ransom,” I whispered. “But I want to hear you say Row with my dick buried inside you.”
Luna was soaking wet and primed for me.
She dug her heels into the bed and cocked her legs wide.
“God damn, Luna,” I growled. She was laying herself wide open for me, and I was more than ready for her. “I would have waited a hundred years for you. You’re worth every second without you.”
I moved up, my face a breath away from her beautiful one, and pressed my lips to hers. The kiss was wild and abandoned.
She moved her hands from above her head and wrapped her fingers around my dick. “You’re just as ready as I am,” she whispered.
“I’m always ready for you, Luna. All I need is to see your beautiful face.” From day one, it was always Luna. That never changed.
She stroked my cock and rocked her hips against me. I positioned myself above her pussy, and she guided me into her sweet body.
Home was the only word that came to mind.
All at once, everything felt right and I had no worries.
She wrapped her arms around me, and I slowly moved. Luna’s pussy was like a vise wrapped around my dick, milking me.
“Ran,” she gasped. “Ransom.”
I moved faster and pressed my lips to hers. She sucked my bottom lip into her mouth and a growl rumbled from my chest. My hips rocked into hers, and her fingernails dug into my back.
“Say my name, Luna.” I slammed into her, and a loud moan poured from her lips.
“My name,” I grunted. I wasn’t going to stop until she screamed it.
“Faster,” she panted. “Please.”
I braced a hand on her headboard and grabbed her bent knee to push her up and back into the bed. Her other leg dug into the bed and held her in place to meet each of my thrusts.
“Yes,” Luna hissed. Her eyes squeezed shut, and she gripped the sheets in her hands. “Yes, Row!”
A guttural moan ripped from my chest. “You’re mine.” Luna would forever be mine. Nothing was going to take her away from me again.
Luna shouted my name and arched off the bed as her orgasm washed over her. She chanted my name as her pussy gripped my cock and she milked me dry. I thrust until my legs gave out, and I collapsed next to her. Then, I gathered her in my arms and pulled the covers over us.
“My God,” Luna panted. “Why did we stop doing that?”
I chuckled and laid my head on the pillow. “Because we were both idiots.”
Luna patted my chest. “I’m glad we’re both taking blame for it, but I know it was me who pushed you away.” She had, but I knew she would come back to me. Some days, I did doubt that it would happen this century, but I knew she would be mine again.
She pressed a finger into my chest. “And for the record, if I ever tell you that we won’t ever do that again, spank me and take me to the bedroom. That should knock some sense into me.”
I scoffed and pressed a kiss to her head. “I think you mean fuck some sense into you.”
She sighed and snuggled into me. “That, too.”
We laid in silence, and I thought she had drifted off to sleep before her head popped up.
“Did you guys try to track where the magazines were coming from?” she asked. “Like, did they buy them from somewhere in town?”
“Luna,” I chuckled.
She slapped my chest and sat up. “I’m serious, Ransom. You might be able to catch this guy if you try to figure out where he is getting the magazines.”
I laid my hand on her back and she looked back at me. “Luna.”
She rolled her eyes. “Ransom.”
“Bear has been working that angle since we found the magazines. It’s pretty tedious because we don’t know when the magazines were bought or even if they were bought in Rockton.”
Luna’s shoulders sagged. “Well, hell. I was thinking I had solved the case.”
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her next to me. “It was a great idea, babe.”
“An idea you guys already thought of,” she pouted.
“Well, it is our job, Luna. We really would be shitty at our jobs if we hadn’t thought of that,” I pointed out.
“You’re right,” Luna muttered. “I’ll just keep my thoughts to myself.”
“Don’t do that,” I insisted. I cupped her cheek and pressed a kiss to her lips. “Don’t ever keep anything from me. I really don’t think you know just how amazing you are, Luna.”
“I run a strip club and make sure the titty tassels are on straight. So amazing,” she laughed.
“You do a whole hell more than that.” I pressed a kiss to her lips. “Pretty soon you’re going to be able to say you’re a prospect for the Devil’s Knights.”
She wrinkled her nose. “That might not be as soon as you think. First, I have to get the balls to even bring it up to King and Hero.”
“So, you have to talk to your uncle and cousin, Luna. You can do it.”
She sighed. “I know, and I will. Someday.”
I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. “Do it when you’re ready, babe, and just know that I’ll be here no matter what happens.”
“You mean if they tell me no, you’ll give them all parking tickets every day?” she asked hopefully.
A chuckle rumbled from my chest. “I’ll have to see if I can do that, but you know if I can, I will.”
She patted my chest and yawned. “Thank you, Row.”
I rubbed her back in lazy circles. “I knew I would get you to call me Row again.”
“You’re Row when you’re being nice to me.”
“So that’s all of the time from now on.”
She scoffed. “We’re together now, but that doesn’t mean my sass and attitude has magically disappeared.”
That was the last thing I wanted. “If it does, I’m going to start telling you no about everything until you start acting like yourself.”
She hummed lightly. “I’m gonna fall asleep, Row.”
“Good night, babe.”
“Good night, my Row,” she whispered.
