“I brought some work clothes,” he mumbled in reply. “Would you like me to go and change?”

“No. I’d like you to keep kissing me.” She grabbed him by the hand and went to lead him to the small building she’d just exited.

Then, as if remembering something, she said, “Wait. Stay here for a second.” She dropped his hand and went in through the rear door of the lodge. Ten seconds later, she was back, a wry grin tugging at her lips. “I just had to tell Skylar you were here, and I was going to be…indisposed for a little while.”

He grinned back as she took him into the staff quarters, shoving open a door halfway down the hallway and dragging him inside. He barely had time to register that this must be her bedroom before she pushed him down onto the bed, landing on top and kissing him. His cock stirred as her tongue stroked skilfully inside his mouth. She was every bit as hungry for him as he was for her. Even as they kissed, her fingers fumbled with the buttons of his white shirt, pushing at his suit jacket, trying to dislodge it from the shoulders.

At least she still wanted him physically. That bit hadn’t altered.

A tiny part of him had been worried something might’ve changed in their four days apart. Worried that she’d decided he wasn’t worth the risk anymore. Wasn’t worth the complicated baggage that being a detective brought along with it. A detective with a four-year-old daughter. It was still a question that needed to be answered.

The suit jacket was restrictive, so he shrugged it off, along with his shirt, and her hands eagerly explored the hard planes of his chest, urgent and demanding.

“Oh, shit. I forgot,” Indy exclaimed as her nimble fingers touched the edge of a bandage covering the back of his shoulder blade. “I’m sorry.” She tried to sit up, apology written all over her face.

“Well, I’m not,” he growled, nipping at her bottom lip. “They’re just scratches, and they’re feeling so much better now I’m with you.”

“If you’re sure?” Her eyes lost their contrition and she let her hands wander again, nails digging gently into the ridges of his stomach. “I’ve missed you so much. Missed doing this so much.” She dropped her head and let her tongue travel around the sensitive skin of his nipple, and across to the other one. Then she dragged it lower, and her hands fumbled with the fasteners on his trousers.

His cock felt as if it were made of granite. He might well explode too early if she kept going like this.

“Slow down,” he murmured. “I’m not going anywhere.” He artfully flipped them both over, so he was now on top, and he deliberately made his kisses slow and deep, taking his time to taste her, and she moaned into his mouth as he slid his hands underneath her shirt and over the soft skin of her hips.

“I don’t want to slow down,” she whispered under her breath, and he grinned like a Cheshire cat.

She was this wild, beautiful thing, and he wanted to hold on to her forever. But she was right in one aspect, perhaps they needed to get naked. He was half-way there, but she needed some help. Tonight, she was wearing a light-blue button-up shirt with the Stormcloud logo on the pocket. It took him no time at all to snap the buttons open and remove it, revealing a white-lace bra beneath. Mmm, she was so beautiful. He pressed a kissin the hollow of her collarbone, and between her breasts. Sliding first one, and then the other strap of her bra over her shoulders, he became almost mesmerized by the swell of her breasts beneath the lacy fabric.

With a grunt of impatience, Indy arched her back and released her bra strap, throwing the piece of underwear into a dark corner of her room, and he looked his fill of her perfect breasts. Running his hands across the silky surface of her stomach, he tried to imprint every curve, every dip. He wanted to learn everything there was to know about her body.

But Indy was getting impatient again. She ground one thigh against his erection, sending white-hot arrows of desire spiraling through him. And now, so was he.

He popped open the buttons on her jeans and pulled them off in one swift movement, her panties following a second afterward.

Reaching into his pocket, right before he tossed his trousers on the floor, he said, “I came prepared this time.” He waved the fistful of condoms and then dumped them on the bedside table. The room was practically dark now, the sun having set in a gaudy display of oranges and pinks over the mountains as he’d pulled into the driveway. But he wanted to see Indy, so before he lay down on the bed, he twitched the curtains closed and flicked the little bedside lamp on. Now he could see her in all her glorious perfection.

Both of them naked now, he lowered himself slowly over her body, glorying in the feel of her thighs against his, her breasts beneath his chest, his cock pressed into her stomach.

“Where’s the condom?” Indy asked, voice husky and full of urgency.

“Already?” he queried.

“Yes, already.” She took his hand and guided it between her legs, where he could feel she was hot and ready for him. Hedidn’t have to be told twice. It took him five seconds to rip open the packet and sheath himself, then hover on his elbows above her.

Lifting his eyes to hers, he plunged inside. She moaned and raised her hips to welcome him in. Oh. So. Good. Indy. And him. So good together. It was like she took him to another plane. Where intimacy and desire combined.

They climbed the peak together as he thrust, slowly at first, then faster and faster. Until Indy dug her nails into his shoulders and he could no longer contain himself as great shuddering breaths took him over the brink.

He didn’t know how long he lay with his head between her breasts, still buried within her, her hands tangled in his hair. But when he finally lifted his head and stared into her eyes, he saw her looking back at him with such tenderness, he couldn’t help but say the words.

“I love you.” A sudden lump formed in his throat. Because it was the simple truth. He’d already said the words days ago, he was just cementing them into his mind; into her heart.

Her hands stopped their gentle exploration of his neck and shoulders, and she clenched her thighs around him.

“You do?” Her face screwed up in a comical frown, half bemused, half pleased. Almost as if she hadn’t expected him to say it.

“Of course, I do.” He laughed. “You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. You changed my life the day you galloped into it on that bloody horse of yours. You’re the strongest woman I know. The bravest and the most loyal. You tried to take down Swampy, a desperate criminal, twice your size, when you thought he’d killed me.” Finn could still hardly believe her story, but Mike had backed her up, and he really shouldn’t have expected anything less. “You touched my heart and now you’ve got my soul, too, Indy Solomon.”

Tears shimmered in her eyes. “You don’t know how glad I am to hear that. I was worried…”
