Gentry’s cheeks flushed pink and she bit her lip shyly. Seth’s heart thumped hard. She was so gorgeous. So soft, so sweet, so perfect. He wished he could spend the whole day with her just like this.
“You’re not eating?” she asked, actually concerned. He was touched.
“I’ll grab a protein shake after my morning run,” he assured her. “I’ve got work in a couple hours, and I like to fit in a session before my shift whenever possible.”
“Mhmm, I can tell. It definitely shows,” Gentry flirted back, her eyes clocking his powerful, muscular bare chest.
“How are you feeling this morning, by the way?” he asked, slipping an arm around her.
She leaned back into him and Seth felt a rush of warmth. He kissed the top of her head as she started eating.
“I feel great. Uh, maybe a little sore,” she admitted, blushing again. “But nothing a little turkey bacon won’t solve.” She picked up a strip of bacon and crunched it, looking satisfied. Seth thought he couldn’t possibly adore her more.
“Most people would probably take an aspirin or something, but I like the way you think,” he replied with a laugh.
“Mmm. This is perfect.” She groaned with delight. “You might have to move in and do this for me every morning.”
“Don’t tempt me,” Seth said, leaning in to steal a bite of toast.
She giggled and pretended to slap at his hand. “Don’t! You’ll spoil your protein shake!”
“I think you spoiled it, actually,” he said smoothly. “Nothing tastes as good as you.”
Her eyes went wide at his raunchy comment, and he loved the way his words affected her. He loved watching her cheeks flush, her innocent doe eyes look away because she was just too bashful, too modest. Knowing he was the one who made her blush gave him a thrill. He wanted to show her infinite pleasure, get to know her body so well he could flip her like a switch. More than anything, he wanted her to understand how beautiful she was, how rare and spectacular he found her. As they cuddled and flirted, the sunshine became brighter through the window. It was time for Seth to head out, having scraped together every last second with Gentry.
It was so difficult to leave her there looking so heavenly, but Seth had a routine. And now that he was even more attached to Gentry, he was dedicated to protecting her. That meant fitting in an even more intense run and workout before his shift. It meant coming in a little early to look over files with Maria and have a meeting with the lieutenant to discuss the wallet the lanky troublemaker had dropped the night before in the alley behind Miami Blues.
Seth threw himself headfirst into the case, satisfied that while he worked to protect her officially, Linc was at the apartment to protect her physically, too. He didn’t feel even a twinge of jealousy, just relief in the knowledge that as long as one of them was with her, she was safe.

Lincoln
Lincoln listened to the sound of the front door clicking closed as Seth headed out for the morning. It was still early, with that dazzling sunrise trickling in through the blinds and dancing across the floor. The living room area was small, but cozy. The decor here was pretty standard for a furnished apartment in Miami. It had the expected sleek lines and vaguely nautical theme. But there were tiny pieces of Gentry to be found if Linc looked carefully. There was a roller case just the right size to be an airplane carry-on bag, closed but with a pink knit sweater hanging out the side. Crumpled over the arm of a chair was a road map, looking to be a map of South Florida. Unused. And there was a dark puddle of fabric by the door.
Linc’s heart pounded when his eyes fell upon it. He caught a vivid, sensual flash of the moment last night when they’d slid that black dress off of Gentry’s shoulders. The first time she was completely exposed to him. She was so vulnerable, so beautiful. Pure and perfect for the taking. He still could hardly believe what had happened. It seemed so surreal now in the calm light of morning.
Linc sat up on the couch and stretched his arms, yawning. He listened for any sounds of Gentry waking up, moving around. He had lain there on the couch while Seth cooked breakfast, just letting them have their moment together, knowing Seth was leaving for the day. On the other hand, it was Tuesday, and therefore Linc’s day off. He had all the time in the world to spend on a lazy morning with the woman of his dreams.
He decided to get up and start a pot of coffee. Still shirtless, dressed only in his boxers that hardly concealed his enormous cock and muscular body. He ran his fingers through his dark hair while the coffee percolated. The smell of roasted coffee beans began to drift through the air, and he knew it would call out to Gentry like a beacon. As he was pouring two mugs, he heard the swish of a shower turning on. He smiled as he carried the mugs down the hallway to surprise her in the bathroom.
He knocked at the door gently, just in case she needed privacy, and she opened up. Her eyes widened and a big smile grew on her pretty face when she saw Linc. She was gorgeous, wrapped in a fluffy white towel with her killer curves on display. She licked her lips at his bare, powerful chest with its rippling muscles.
“Morning. Coffee?” Linc greeted her.
“Ooh, thank you,” she gushed. “Between you and Seth, I’m feeling awfully spoiled.”
He stepped into the small, steamy bathroom and began stripping out of his boxers.
“Good. You deserve it,” he said gently. “May I join you?”
She was staring wide-eyed at his cock, then blinked rapidly to break her trance.
“Mmhm. Yup,” she murmured, nodding emphatically.
She unfurled her towel and dropped it on the counter, then followed Linc into the shower stall. The glass doors were fogging up as their bodies curved toward each other. The steaming water pelted Linc’s shoulders and dark hair. His eyes roved up and down Gentry’s petite, curvy body. He watched the hot beads of water gather around her collarbone, roll along her shoulders, and drip down her chest. Her breasts were perky and made slippery by the soap suds lathering up. Linc took the body wash and squirted some into his palms, rubbing them together. She turned around so Linc could wash her smooth, pale back and shoulders. She groaned with pleasure as he began to massage his way down. Unable to control himself, he gave her soapy ass a wet smack.
Gentry looked at him over her shoulder with wild eyes, drops of water caught in her thick lashes. She tilted her head back to rest against his chest while his hands slid around to her front. He moved up to her breasts, fondling them with soaped-up fingers. His thumbs slid around her erect nipples and she whimpered, rocking back into him so she could feel his stiffening cock. Linc knew he could have her right then, right there if he wanted. His body was screaming at him to bend this beautiful angel over and pound her until she was gasping and gushing all over his shaft.
