He shook his head, helplesslyfascinated and annoyed by her. "You wouldn't lie to me, wouldyou?" He walked toward her, deliberately, intently. Chasing criminals gavehim an adrenaline rush that somehow always turned into raw sexual need. Hisbody still pulsed from the scene outside the bar.
She watched him with a heated gaze."I would never lie to you, Trey."
"Remember what you saidearlier?" He stood in front of her.
"Oh, yeah."
"Not a lie?"
"Nope."
"Good."
Chapter12
Marli shivered with excitement asshe watched Trey approach her, now alone in the hotel room. She was burning forhim, wet and desperate, aching with emptiness, pulsing with need. Her nippleshardened almost painfully, her breasts tight and full. She wanted to finishwhat they'd started earlier.
His eyes were so hot she melted.Waves of intensity shimmered off him, almost frightening her.
He stopped in front of her, theirbodies as close as they could be without touching. Heat radiated off him, everymuscle and tendon in his body taut. A pulse throbbed in his tight jaw.
She put a hand up to that jaw,touched him softly, let her fingers trail over the strong jawbone and down hisneck, and his eyes darkened even more. He shuddered and stared at her mouth.Her lips parted.
"I was so scared for youtonight," she whispered. She touched his face again, stroked one thick,dark eyebrow, touched a high cheekbone. With the back of her hand, she rubbedher knuckles across his lean cheek, rough with dark stubble, trailed her thumbacross his bottom lip. Strong white teeth nipped the pad of that thumb and shesmiled, letting him lick her thumb. Then she rubbed her wet thumb across hislip again.
God, he could've been killed,with that lunatic shooting at him, and then Trey'd chased after him. Her legswent mushy.
"You were scared,"he muttered. "Christ, Marli, I've been a cop for nearly eight years. I'venever lost my mind like that. If he'd shot you..." He groaned, a raw,agonized sound, and he swept her into his arms and kissed her over and over.
Her mouth opened for him, her tonguemet his, twined with his in a hot, wet kiss that went on and on and on. Herbody dissolved as Trey snugged her closer, his big hands on her hips, pressingher against his erection.
She pushed into him, arching in hispossessive hold. A moan tore from her throat. "God, I need you."Exquisite heat throbbed between her legs and in her nipples. Tiny needles ofhot sensation prickled her skin, every nerve ending jumping, everything insideher pulling up.
He let out a ragged groan inresponse, hands cupping her butt, pulling her harder against him. His big thighslid between her legs, and she climbed him, ground her pelvis against him,gasping as she strained closer. Then, mindlessly, breathlessly, she came."Ohhhh." Her body spasmed against his, quivery sensation ripplingfrom her core through her body. Trey held her while she climaxed, riding histhigh, pleasure cascading over her, then her body sank into him as it softened.
"Jesus, Marli, what wasthat?"
She moaned, her face tucked againsthis chest. She couldn't believe that had just happened. "God, Trey, don'tyou know?"
He gave a soft laugh. "Yeah, Iknow. I just can't believe it. You are so hot."
"I can't help it. You make mehot."
She was draped over him like a wethotel towel. He still vibrated with tightly controlled need. "I'msorry." She drew back to look in his face. "I should've waited foryou."
"Hell, no," he saidroughly. "It's not like you only get one chance to come. I'm gonna makeyou come again. And again, until you're out of your mind."
A sharp jolt of heat shot throughher womb at his words. He worked her long T-shirt up over her thighs and hips,then all the way over her head.
"No, wait." Her handstugged his away from the button of her jeans. "I want younaked." She started to unbutton his shirt.
"Oh, yeah. I want me naked,too. With you naked. In that bed. Like, yesterday."
She tried to get her shaking fingersto work on the small buttons. Then she pushed the sides of his shirt apart."I love your chest," she murmured, smoothing her hands across hismuscles.
"I like yours, too."
She looked up at him, smiling. Theirgazes caught and held. Humor and lust combined in a potent bond that drew themtogether, connected them.
"Pants off," she saidsuddenly. "Now." She fumbled with the button of his jeans, and hebrushed her hands aside to unzip himself on one neat motion, shoving the jeanseasily down over his hips. She bent down to take them all the way off, draggingthem away as he stepped out of them, taking his socks with them.
"Yours, too." Hers were alittle more effort, fitting snugly as they did, and she wriggled her hips to helphim get them off. "God," he breathed the word. "I love how youdo that."
Now they stood in their underwear,face to face. Her hands rested on his chest, his on her waist, and they staredat each other.
"Oh, Trey," she whisperedand went onto her toes to kiss him, winding her arms around his neck, pressingskin to hot skin. She couldn't believe they were finally doing this, and forthis time, even though it was incredibly, decadently pleasurable, it feltright. This was now. What she was doing with Trey had nothing to do withKrista. She gently pushed Krista away into the back of her memory--not forever,just for now--and deepened the kiss, slanting her mouth across his, losingherself in the sensual pleasure of Trey's embrace.
Trey wrapped his arms around her andtumbled her onto the bed, coming down beside her, his body big, heavy and hot.She cried out with pleasure as he cupped one breast, then kissed the other,closing his lips over her budded nipple and sucking. His fingers plucked at theother nipple, and all sensation in her body centered on those two tight littlepoints as he sucked, licked and pulled.
She rolled her head on the bed inecstasy. She whimpered and fisted her hands in his hair. But his hair wasalmost too
