“Please…” She hesitated.

“I’ll give you whatever you need, Addie.” He was so weak.

“Please kiss me.”

He couldn’t deny her. He lowered his head.

She tasted like orange juice and sunshine. He groaned, and parted her lips, slipping his tongue into her mouth.

She made a husky sound and slid her arms around his neck.

Sensation rushed through him. Desire mixed with the unbelievable feeling that this sweet, beautiful woman wanted him.

Bram slid his tongue against hers, wanting more, wanting to imprint himself on her.

She gripped his arms, pressing into his body. “Bram, I need you.”

He deepened the kiss, desire pumping through him. He’d give her everything she wanted. He went to lift her off the stool when his cellphone rang.

He swallowed a curse. “That’s Hex’s ring tone.”

Addie smoothed her hands down his shirt. “It might be important.”

“Yes.” Reluctantly, he stepped back, conscious of the erection pressing against his zipper. He pulled his phone out. “Hex.”

“Bram, command center, now.” Her usual teasing tone was missing.

“What did you find?” he asked.

“Something that pisses me off. Bring Addie. Tell her I’ve got some muffins and a smoothie for her and the bump.”

“We’re on our way.” He ended the call. “Hex has some information for us.”

“On my stalker?”

“I’m not sure.” He helped her down, then tried not to touch her as she hurried off to get changed.

When they walked into the office, he still really, really wanted to touch her. He let himself press a hand to her lower back.

Screens on the desks in Hex’s area were filled with information, as was the large, interactive screen that covered one wall.

“There you are.” Hex bounded up from her chair.

She often reminded Bram of a toy that never ran out of batteries.

“Addie, I have a blueberry muffin and fruit smoothie for you. Lots of fruit is good for the mini Bram.”

Shit. He barely controlled his jolt. A mini him? No. He couldn’t picture it.

Addie accepted the drink and the muffin with a smile. “Thanks, Hex. I’m getting spoiled this morning.”

“Oh?” Hex cocked an eyebrow and sat there grinning. “Did Bram get you something better? Breakfast in bed? A morning orgasm?”

Addie choked on the smoothie, then laughed, her cheeks turning pink. “No. Expectant-mom things.”

“Ah, now I get all the text messages I was bombarded with.” Hex’s grin dissolved. “I have some news for you.” She skewered Bram with a look. “Now, don’t lose your shit.”

Addie looked worried, and Bram pressed a hand to her shoulder. “Tell us.”
