I don't know how we did it, but I got us through the door and had her pressed up against the nearest wall before the door was completely closed.
I rubbed my cock against the heat between her thighs through her clothes for some minor relief.
There was nothing gentle about the way I tore at her clothing, or the way she ripped my shirt in half.
Our mouths stayed fused together as I searched out her wet heat with my fingers. With two of them shoved inside her and my thumb on her clit I finally pulled my mouth away.
"Cum in my hand first, then I'm gonna eat your sweet pussy." She clenched around my digits and I sucked one of her nipples into my mouth, biting down on the tender flesh until she screamed and flooded my palm with hot sweetness.
I looked into her eyes as I licked my hand clean, before kneeling at her feet and putting my mouth on her.
I teased her with little stabs of my tongue into the bare entrance of her hot core. She was slumped against the wall, hands buried in my hair as she moved her hips against my mouth's onslaught.
I sucked and drank from her as she begged me for release. My cock was standing hard and heavy, just waiting his turn. Soon boy, just let me gorge myself on her sweet nectar first.
"Donovan please, I can't...."
She was begging me to take her but I didn't stop, not yet.
Her taste was too sweet on my tongue enticing me to carry on. I buried my tongue deep, making her cry out and plunge her nails into my scalp.
"Get on your hands and knees princess." She was only too happy to oblige, and I was soon behind her, lining up my cock with her tight pink opening.
With eyes closed and teeth gritted against the intense pleasure, I started nice and slow, before hitting deep.
Her nails scratched against the hardwood floor as I held tight to her hips and fucked her.
The glint of the moonlight shone in the stone of her ring, highlighting my claim of ownership.
The sight only made me hotter and I had to rein myself in. “Donovan, don’t hold back, please.” She pleaded with me over her shoulder.
“You don’t know what you’re asking.” I gritted my teeth as my cock grew even harder inside her and I could feel her softness stretching to take all of me.
“I do, I’m a big girl remember? I want all of you.” I wasn’t sure I could give her what she was asking for, I never want to hurt her, but somehow I know, that if I releaser all the passion I have inside me for her, that I might damage her.
She worked me over with her pussy muscles, using her body to force my hand.
I tested the waters with a slap to her ass. Her pussy tightened around me and she moaned. I did it again, harder this time, same thing.
I plowed into harder, the way I’ve been wanting to since I first laid hands on her, but was too afraid of hurting her.
She arched her back higher and spread wider. “Shit.” My hands went to her hair, pulling it roughly and my hips sped up.
She stayed with me; no matter what I did she was right there with me, my little virgin bride.
We didn’t make love for the first two or three hours, we fucked. I had her bent over the furniture, against the wall, in the hallway outside our bedroom when I just couldn’t wait even though I’d just pulled out of her a few minutes ago.
It was when we reached the bed and I saw the marks I’d left all over her body that I tempered my touch. It was then that I made sweet love to her, riding her tired body as she took me deep inside of her.
I kissed all the places that I could reach, a sense of pride swelling in my chest at the sight of my ownership. Not only on her finger, but all over her body. Some in places for the whole world to see.
By the time I rolled off of her and dragged her into my arms, we were both spent. I barely had enough strength left to pull the covers up over us.
“Sleep princess, I love you.”
“I love you more.”

The Watcher
I don’t know what the boss is so hung up about. These two don’t seem to be showing much interest in the case from what I can see.
I’ve been out to the cove a time or two under pretense of fishing of course, but neither of them have been back as near as I can tell.
Other nosy ass people have come by, which was good for me, I was just one of the curious, but other than that there didn’t seem to be anything amiss.
Besides, he was the one working the case, so how would they find anything? All he had to do was cover up anything that might trip us up, though I didn’t see how.
There was nothing here to tie the dead body to me, or the boss. I hadn’t left anything on the body that would lead to anything, so we were in the clear.
So much for her investigative skills, just goes to show. I made my way back to my little hovel in the dark. Soon I will be able to afford anything I want.
I fingered the little chip in my pocket and my pulse sped up. I had thought it would be easy to find the buyer, but the boss had been slick.
He’d never shared that information with me and now I had no way of knowing where to even start to look.
“What were you doing there tonight you fool? Do you know you could’ve been caught?”
I spun around just in time to catch the bullet in my chest. No, this can’t be; I was so close.
Chapter 24
I went to work the next day wearing a wide ass grin on my face. The night had been beyond amazing and the morning hadn't been too shabby either.
It only took seeing the station house to bring me back down to earth though. I still had a lot to do to get the answers we needed, and I'm racing against the clock because I want her as far away from this shit as possible.
It's a little confusing how much of a caveman I've become where Shania's concerned. I never thought of myself as the possessive type, but I'll be damned if she doesn't bring out the alpha wolf in me.
I have the need to keep her locked away safe and secure, somewhere where nothing like this touches her.
Unreasonable I know, and with her chosen profession, I know I might be fighting a losing battle, but damn I'm gonna give it a try.
"Chase, get in here." The Captain's loud bark shook me out of my reverie.
"What's up Cap?"
"Come in and close the door."
I did as ordered and took the seat across from his desk.
There were files and spreadsheets all over the place. I always marveled that he could find anything in that mess, but it worked for him apparently, because he got the job done.
"What can I do for you Cap?"
"You and that little girl messing with the Feds' case?"
Shit, I'd forgotten this side of it, though I'd covered my tracks well and I'm sure she had also, so there was no way anyone could know for sure what we were up to. Cap was probably just fishing.
"What do you mean?" I didn't want to outright lie now did I? So I chose to edge around the question.
"Look I know your woman is an investigative reporter, one of the best in the country, so I know for damn sure she's not letting this go, and she's got you by the short ones if that stupid ass grin on your face is anything to go by so you'd let her get away with anything.
No skin off my nose I wish you two would hurry the hell up and solve the shit and get those assholes outta here.
You didn't hear that from me. Now officially I am asking you to leave federal matters to the Feds this is their case."
He couldn't even finish the sentence with a straight face, since he was already rolling his eyes as he twirled one of his fingers around in the air.
"Somebody complained?" I kicked back and relaxed.
"That fellow Carter, what's his problem anyway, he seems to have a hard on for you.
Watch your ass boyo, I don't trust these spit slick fucks no farther than I can throw them, and I've got a bum arm."
"I'm good." I hated even mentioning her name with his, but this might leak eventually anyway, so I might as well share.
"Part of his problem might be the fact that he was once engaged to Shania." That shit burnt a hole in my tongue, it felt almost blasphemous to say it.
"You don't say." Cap was studying me like a mouse in a trap, then his face broke out in a grin and I grew wary.
My boss is a little “nuts” to say the least. Who knows what the hell is going through his head right now. He rubbed his hands together in glee, oh shit.
"Now I really hope you two solve this thing; good get back to work, officially you're on the trafficking thing, tying up loose ends, unofficially you're on whatever the hell you and the little lady are up to, keep me posted will ya."
"Sure thing, Cap."
"Oh and Chase, I'd lose the smile before one of the Spalding boys sees you and figures it out, blood doesn't go so good with your fancy suits." He laughed his ass off as I shook my head and left his office.
Back at my desk, I got busy with my undercover mission; I wasn't too worried about the trafficking thing, knowing before hand that these things never really went away I'd left a few threads that I could pull on there.
Shania had given me what she'd found thus far on the other thing, and we were comparing notes to see if anything jumped out at us.
So far nothing had, but we were still looking. I have no doubt she'd be plugging away again today, though I'd warned her again this morning before leaving the comfort of her warm body, not to go nosing around in the area where we'd found the remains.
I had to constantly fight the urge to call and check up on her; this was all new to me.
Before, whenever I'd found myself in any kind of relationship, I was always able to relegate my partner to after hours.
I never brought them here with me in thought. Not so Shania, she stayed with me constantly throughout the day, my every other thought was of her.
I finally gave in two hours later and called her. I just needed to hear her sweet voice, make sure she was okay.
"What're you doing princess?"
"Missing you." She chuckled.
"Shit babe, don't say things like that. I have to be here another couple hours at the very least. How am I supposed to get anything done with thoughts of you there waiting for me playing with my head?"
"You'll live, guess what?"
"What princess?"
"Someone here has been digging into those accounts or trying to access them anyway."
"What do you mean, I thought we decided those were smoke screens to throw us off the scent?"
"Yes Donovan but it's still money. How many people you know of the criminal element who can deny the lure of money?"
"You've got a point, but it still doesn't make sense for this person to set up those accounts and then go after them this early in the game, something's not adding up for me. Only because I don't think our doer is that stupid."
"What if we have more than one doer? What if your mumblings have been right and you know who is somehow involved?"
She's so cute, I may or may not have forbidden her to ever mention Carter's name again in this lifetime while I was buried deep inside her last night, or should I say one of the times I'd been buried deep inside her?
"My gut says he is, it's too much of a coincidence that someone associated with him ends up here in a location known only to locals.
What was he doing in the area? Nothing we've found so far suggests there were any official dealings going on in the Cove, so it has to be something else.
Either our VIC was involved in something illegal that got him killed, or he was set up.
Either way, the answers are here, we just have to keep digging until we find something. Speaking of which, have you been thinking of what you want to do next?"
"About what?"
"You know about what, about your job." I held my breath as I awaited her answer.
I hadn't come right out and told her I didn't want her going back to work.
Well, maybe some of the things I've said in the past few weeks said it for me. But as much as I hated the idea of her putting herself in danger for a story, I couldn't very well snatch her dreams away now could I?
"I thought we were going to discuss that when this was all over?"
"Did we decide that? I don't remember, by the way mom said she called you to discuss wedding plans."
"Yes we're getting together this afternoon so no sneak attacks, both our mothers will be here."
"Damn, I had been giving an afternoon quickie some thought."
"You're a horn dog Donovan Chase."
"Your point?"
She got way too quiet on the other line for a second, before she answered me in her soft voice.
"I'm sorry I wasted so much time, sorry I didn't come to you sooner."
Fuck, maybe I could get the mothers to come over later. I needed to hold her, to be with her. Those heartfelt words, spoken so softly, made me want to wrap myself around her and never let go.
"You're here now baby that's all that matters." I felt like crying, I guess I’d joined the ranks of the imbecile. My dad had always warned me that this day would come, because I use to tease him about being wrapped around mom’s pinky.
"About my job...I think I might want to stay close to home. I can't very well go traipsing all over the globe after we're married now can I?"
Thank you-thank you-thank you. I fist pumped the air and tried to keep my mega watt smile down to a minimum, though she couldn't see me. I'm sure this hadn't been an easy decision for her to make.
"I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure you don't regret that decision baby."
“You already have.”
Well shit. We stayed on the line a little longer before I had to get back to work.
Since she was going to be busy this afternoon, I decided to tug at this latest string.
If someone here was involved, then I had to start looking at my neighbors.
There weren’t too many that I would suspect of shady dealings, but you never know do you?
***
By end of day I had a list of names to start with, but I decided to table it for later.
Right now I wanted to spend some time with my girl. I wasn’t about to let a little thing like murder get in the way of our new beginning.
Chapter 25
DONOVAN
“Okay you’ve had your fun, now it’s time to work.” I’d just rolled away from her; our juices hadn’t even dried yet.
“I’m on break.” I rolled onto my stomach and buried my head in the pillows. She was a little tigress off her leash since she’d got me to fuck her without holding back.
It amazes me that she can fit all that passion in that tiny package, but somehow she manages it.
Her hand came down on my ass when she couldn’t get me to move. “We have to have this done before our wedding, which if our moms have their way, will be in a few short months.”
“No months, weeks, we’re getting married in a few weeks. I want my ring on your finger and my kid in your womb before winter.”
“Donovan…”
I love the way her voice goes all soft and sweet when she’s being shy. It’s a complete turnaround from the hellion she becomes when I’m inside her. I love them both.
“What, why do you think I’m inside you every chance I get? I have no idea about women’s cycles and temperatures and all that other mumbo jumbo, but I figure if I take you everyday at least, one of those times will do the trick.
As much seed as I’ve planted in you, you should be carrying triplets by now.”
“Oh is that what you’ve been doing? I though you were just a horny old letch.”
“That too.” I pounced on her, pinning her to the bed. I’d barely been through the door after a long day at work before I’d dragged her off to my bed.
“Oh no you don’t, work first, then play. I think I might be getting close to something.”
“Oh alright, but you’re gonna owe me big time.” She gave me a kiss to tide me over before grabbing her comp
uter and some files.
“Now I was going back through everything and something clicked. I don’t know how I missed it the first time, probably because I wasn’t expecting to see it here, but I worked on something like this last year.”
“You’ve lost me.”
“Here, in Riley’s files. He was working on this top-secret mission. There was a lot of noise about it last year and I was one of the only reporters to work on it.
We didn’t uncover much since the government closed all avenues and pulled the plug, but I always knew there was something there.
Rumor had it that our guys found something that was worth more than the earth up there. What that something is and how to get to it, was what we were trying to uncover.
That’s when the government moved in and shut everything down. In the end, I didn’t get close enough, but from the whispers and innuendo, I know there was some truth to it.
Now if someone wanted to get their hands on that kind of info, then they’d need someone on the inside.”
“If this thing is as big as you claim, I don’t see the government letting one man have access to all of the info. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a number of people working on it at once, with each of them in the dark?”
“That’s what I think too, but what if with his clearance, Boyd Riley had access to the finished product?”
“Make sense, have we figured out where the money in the dummy account came from? And who’s been trying to access it?”
“No, whoever it is covered the transactions too well, it’ll take time and more resources than I have here, plus the fact that you want to keep this under the radar makes it more difficult. I could get more if you’ll just let me…”
“No fucking way, and don’t ask again.” My work phone rang and cut us off.
“Chase here.”
“Boy we’ve got another body, I don’t know what the fuck is going on around here, but I’m hoping it’s not an epidemic. I’m five years away from retirement, I don’t need this shit.”
“Cap, the body, who is it?” I took her hand and pulled her down at my side when she jolted at my words.
