Behind the Pines (The Gass County Series Book 3)

“You don’t think highly of me, do you?”
“Fear does crazy things to your mind. Survival makes you grab for the easiest way out not to get hurt.”
“Oh, Brody, I would never do anything that could hurt you, and if your wife left you because of that,” she motioned for his backside, “it’s her loss, not yours.”
“I was dejected and humiliated when she walked out on me, and I felt determined to show the entire town I was still a man in charge and that I had my shit together. My work was my cover for never having to feel anything again.” He sighed and looked down to where their feet touched.
“When I’m in pain, I get grouchy. I take painkillers but they don’t always work. The time you came over and I was not in the best of mind, I’d taken a Vicodin to have a chance to sleep a few hours before the next shift. Keeping up appearance is a lot in this job.”
Sunshine turned Brody’s back against the bed and when his calves hit the bedframe, she pushed him down and fell with him onto the bedspread and seated herself across his waist. Her hands moved from his waist up his chest and as she cupped his face in her hands, she kissed him as thoroughly as she possibly could. His arms found their way around her back and as she deepened the kiss, he grabbed her bottom, grinding her against a very sizeable erection inside his boxers.
“When someone leaves and instantly you feel your future is heading with it, you better saddle that horse and gallop after it, everything else falls behind. That, my dear, is what I felt the first time I laid eyes on you, you crazy woman. Running across roads, chasing dogs, telling off an officer only to give him a lap dance in his office. If I didn’t get my shit together and follow you, my life would be dull, dead, lost, if you will.”
Her fingertips traced the form of his mouth. “Kiss me.”
“Now?”
“Yes.” A laugh escaped her mouth and touched his before his mouth moved onto hers for a taste. Her lips tingled as the roughness of his skin touched hers, his tongue finding hers, teasing until she let out a sigh of pleasure.
“No more, Brody, of this secrecy bullshit. You have a definite reason to dislike dogs,” she smiled and nodded toward the doorway where Brutus had fallen asleep from boredom. “You have a new deputy taking half of your shifts at the station, and you have a woman who’s is crazy about you. It’s all good.”
“Crazy you say?”
“In a good way, not the kill-you-with-a-knife-while-you-sleep way. I’d rather do other things than sleeping.”
“I second that.”
“So,” Sunshine broke away framing his face with her hands, “can we finish what we have started twice already?”
Brody’s hands moved to her waist and she watched him chew on the inside of his cheek. “As in, when we’re done here, I shouldn’t return?”
“Brody, I’ve wanted you for a long time. This, tonight, will be the first of many wonderful moments.”
“So, you’re my girl?”
“I’m your girl, Brody. Undress me, it’s not like you haven’t done so before.”
Brody grunted and flipped Sunshine over on her back and revealed her naked body in mere seconds, causing Sunshine to laugh at his urgency, before he dove down and settled himself onto of her.
“I like that you’re already turned on,” Brody said, then bent his head and took one already erect nipple into his warm mouth, circling his tongue around it, tasting her skin. His palms tested the weight of her breast while he licked and suckled her buds until he heard her gasp and felt her arch her body upward, asking for him to take more of her. A request he wouldn’t decline. Her hands dug deeper into his hair, fingernails scratching his scalp in an attempt to hold him in place as he sucked and licked her nipples, his voice humming in pleasure. Her head tossed from side to side, hands moving from his head down his shoulders, and along his arms, just to return the same way.
“You taste so good,” he mustered and felt her hands halt at the back of his head.
“I . . . think I’m coming,” she said, her voice a quiet surprise.
“You can come and I will continue to devour these breasts, these nipples, in my mouth,” he answered, sloppingly licking around her nipples, kissing around her breasts until he felt her jerk below him in silence, and he felt nothing but happiness for what he’d given her.
With the help of his knee, he pushed her legs apart and felt the wetness against his cock while he kissed her neck, stroked her clit.
“Brody,” her voice the kind of sexy low and husky a man wanted to hear in the bedroom, whispering his name as she begged him to take her again and again, “Take me, hard.”
“Couldn’t do anything but, love.”
