Since moving to
beautiful Cedar Tree, Colorado, Emma Young,
mother of one adult daughter, has worked from home
doing some
online bookkeeping and baking for her best
friend's diner to
supplement her disability pension. Life has been
pretty damn good. That
is, until she received a strange phone call that
started an alarming
Investigator
Gus Flemming was hot on the trail of a bail
skip with organized crime connections, when he
ended up in Cedar Tree.
Here the focus of his investigation landed squarely
on the gently
rounded shoulders of the vivacious red-headed Emma,
whose physical
limitations have done nothing to dampen her zest
for life.
When it becomes clear that Emma is at risk, Gus
doesn't
hesitate to step in and protect her. Call it a job
with some very hot
Opening up the door for Emma, he
reached up to help her down, but instead of putting her down, he simply held
her wrapped in his arms with her feet dangling just shy of the ground. For once
he was looking straight in her eyes.
"Short little thing, aren't
ya?"
"Gus, what are you doing?"
Emma breathed out.
"Holding you. Feels good having
my arms full of woman. Are you gonna smack me if I kiss
you?"
Before Emma had a chance to respond,
his mouth settled firmly over her half-opened lips. Pulling back, he looked at
her slightly stunned blue eyes, and moved back in at an adjusted slant. With a
strong swipe of his tongue, he claimed access to her
mouth.
Oh yeah, that woke her up. Her two
small hands grabbed the hair at the base of his skull, while her tongue gave as
good as it got.
Her body slowly slid down until her
feet touched the ground, leaving his hands free to roam over the luscious
curves of her ass; more than just a handful and feeling so fucking good. He
couldn't help but rock his rejuvenated hard-on against her body, letting her
feel exactly what she did to him. Fuck. That woman could kiss thirty year old
paint of the walls. Her sweet taste and spicy little tongue seemed to satisfy a
hunger he didn't realize he had. Her small, but strong hands were kneading the contours
of his back and ass, making his skin tingle and his balls draw up
tight.
She was rubbing her breasts up
against his chest, eager for friction. She made little groaning noises that
drove him wild. His hips were involuntarily dry humping into her and he felt so
fucking sexed up and hungry to come. He hadn't felt this way since he was about
sixteen and had his first taste of a girl's
pussy.
The slam of the trash can lid by the
backdoor had them jumping apart. Seb was standing with the door in his hand and
a big-ass grin on his face.
"Coming in, folks? Or am I
gonna sell tickets?"
"Fuck off, Seb." Emma said,
turning all shades of embarrassed. She could barely look Gus in the eye, but
the level she was looking at now wasn't much better… holy cow! Lifting her eyes to his
face, he was standing there looking all smug down at
her.
"Not gonna apologize, darlin'.
Although, I came close to throwing you back in the truck and taking you
here."
"Seriously? You have no filter!
Do you say everything?"
Gus just smiled and shrugged his
shoulders. "Pretty much. Don't see the point in beating around the bush,
do you? We had an orgasm together, Emma, it's not like we're complete
strangers. And that kiss was fucking hot. I look forward to
more."
She just shook her head and laughed
it off because seriously, what else do you do with a declaration like that?
Emma grabbed his arm and started moving for the back door where Seb had
disappeared inside.
