"Imaybe a little" I’d heard Stark sound a lot of ways but unsure wasn’t one of them I had no idea how he could doubt I wanted hi after him

I wanted to reassure hi between us I gave hily, and hard to hear, but ere still standing His past was darker than mine, cloudier and convoluted, but soed to see each other We ed to find the only other person in the world ould believe, the only one ould trust I couldn’t say anything because his finger was pu center and his thu my clit relentlessly All I could do was throwthroughthe line of ainst ed and quaked uncontrollably around hied wetness acrossto coue across the shiny surface His eyebrows arched and that sound that wasn’t close to hu to take s fell weakly from his hips and I slumped backwards so I was sprawled bonelessly across the top of the counter My chest was heaving and , but I’d never felt better I couldn’t reht, as destined, and as perfect as his did

I could still feel his erection throbbing betweenabout it, he stepped away, pulled off his glasses, and rubbed his hand over his face

"Like I said, distracting I like the way you co the secret, soft part of me that I liked to pretend I didn’t have "We need to talk about what our next step with Goddard is before we get interruptedor distracted again"

I stared up at the ceiling wondering how he could ignore the electric heat that was still swirling around us like a living, breathing thing I heaved a sigh and pushedposition He moved a couple of steps away but I could still clearly see the outline of his cock behind the taut line of his zipper

"Goddard will still be there after I suck your cock, Snowden" I really wanted to kno he tasted, how he looked when he finally lost control I hopped off the counter and started to move toward him

His eyes widened and then narrowed as he held up a hand and took another step away frohtened and I saw his cheek twitch as he told me harshly, "I need to think I need to plan I need to keep you safe, and I can’t do any of that if all I’ about is how your lips would look wrapped aroundto take care of you, Noe"

I paused mid-step and cocked my head to the side so I could consider his words without losing my shit I didn’t need hi care of s, but in this one instance, I really wanted him to have a hand in it I didn’t want to take care of the hollow ache between s by myself, and I didn’t want hi the front of his jeans obscenely tight That was all mine I understood his reluctance wasn’t about rejection It was about hie I could see it in every stiff line of his big body and I had to adhto take care of me

"Maybe you are part robot after all No et his dick sucked" I sounded a little petulant I really wanted to show hiood as he made me feel I wanted him to realize I was a woman who knew exactly what to do with him in the bedroom and out of it

I could handle Snowden Stark The part of hienius and the part of hi y will" He huffed out a breath and rolled his heavy shoulders "Can we stop talking about h and turned to walk toas you realize I reserve the right to bring your dick back up at a led lasses back on and looked up at the ceiling like he was looking for help froone, we can talk about ht noant to talk about the first part of taking the Mayor down I need to get into his co we need"

I restedmy chin in my hand I lifted an eyebrow back at hih to install the software you need? It’s not like you can waltz into his office in City Hall You’re pretty et

"I can’t walk in and I’et anywhere near hiet close without any questions"

I suy who clai to help you out"

He blinked atmy words I wondered if he was so fixated on what he’d lost that he couldn’t see what he had standing right in front of hirin and waved a hand in the air "Go ahead and dazzle me with your mind, Stark, but don’t think for a second that you didn’t dazzle o"

I wasn’t sure, but I could have sworn he breathed a sigh of relief

I wanted Snowden Stark However, the moment I listened to him talk about the methodical, meticulous way he planned to destroy Jonathan Goddard, I realized I never wanted him as an enemy

Stark

In a perfect world, which this was not, I would have been able to get allforward as soon as I gotneed to possess, to ownto conquer what Noe Lee sent spiraling through a an update on the situation with his girl

Since I owed him more than I would ever be able to repay, I spent the rest of the afternoon tracking down the infor the Mayor The hooker was clean She didn’t show any influx of sudden incoes to his wife hadn’t come from her but rather a burner phone that was untraceable Upon further exahtly surprised to find that theand was a lot save her credit for She ell aware of his standing date with Nassir’s girl, and instead of being pissed about it, she was the one blackrand It looked like she had drained their kid’s college fund and was desperate to replace theproof of her addiction all over the family’s home computer I wasn’t surprised the site she used to waste her money was one that Race ran Thepeople blind, and he made sure the house alon The poor woman didn’t stand a chance, so it was no wonder she resorted to both revenge and blackirl was in the clear because it s would have worked out for her if she had violated the Devil’s standing orders Nassir didn’t tolerate insubordination He didn’t toleratea stubborn asshole I’d called hi up on me before I could explain exactly why I needed hi a loaded USB into the man’s computer I also wanted hiht be a reach since Titus was flat-out refusing to help He was the only person who could walk into City Hall without drawing suspicion No one would question why a decorated detective, as as tough on crime as the Mayor claimed to be, wanted to meet with the corrupt bastard Plus, there was the dead, dirty cop in the water off the docks It wouldn’t seem suspicious if Titus wanted to talk to the Mayor about that Titus wasn’t budging

He told airl worked for thethe Devil deeain there was no report of sexual abuse frohter, no proof Noe had been kidnapped, because the tapes only showed the dirty cop hauling her to that shipping container and in this town, that couldknocking on the Mayor’s door That’s the way things worked I tried to explain that I needed his help forto do with Nassir, that he didn’t have the entire story, but Titus shut e a man by the company he keeps"
