I stifled a groan at the way her muscles jigged slightly and caused the flash of an image of how those thighs might quake if I were between them.
“Why? Why did you step in front of the gun?” His hands squeezed my arms gently. I could feel my body sway toward him as though an invisible tether pulled me closer. “You saved my sister’s life when I couldn’t.”

Breathe.” Val looked at me again, warily. I nodded. “You heard the lady. Dead body.” After a beat, I added, “It’s all right. You’re safe with me.”
“Do you feel zen yet?” She peeked at me through one slitted eye, a suppressed laugh teasing the corners of her mouth as it twitched. “So fucking zen.”
“Is this far enough?” My hand stayed planted on her ankle, and I leaned far forward, stretching her leg. “Deeper.” The husk in her voice sent a bolt of lightning straight down my spine, and it settled between my thighs.
