“Okay.” She hurriedly stuffs the contraband back in the bag and kicks it under the bed.
“Someplace better than that but do it tomorrow. C’mere. I need to hold you.”
She falls onto the bed and I pull her snug against me, loving that she fits perfectly against me like a missing puzzle piece. “Is there anything else you need to tell me?”
“I think Carly knows my name isn’t Maggie. There was a note in my door. It was addressed to June and she was at the library today acting all weird and I was looking at a missing person’s report that was filed on me. I think she saw and plans on blackmailing me into leaving you.”
“You let me worry about Carly.” I don’t want to deal with her, but Carly can be impulsive, and I don’t want her doing anything stupid that could put Maggie in danger.
“I’m sorry,” she whispers.”
“For what?”
“For dragging you into my mess.”
“I’m glad I met you and would never change a thing about you.” Well, okay I’d change the fact that I am a sheriff’s deputy sleeping over stolen drugs and money right now, but I don’t say that. “What’s this about a missing person’s report?”
“I think my ex filed it in an attempt to find me because I have the drugs and money he owes to the bad guys he was involved with.”
I breathe out heavily through my nose. “And you’ve told me everything?”
“Well. There is one more thing, but I know it’s going to hurt you.”
“Just tell me.”
“It’s Roger. When he gave me a ride home...he—he put his hand on my leg. I didn’t think much of it at first but then he tried to kiss me and said vulgar things about you and not being able to please a woman.”
Rage courses through my veins and I am seething. I will deal with him tomorrow. “Anything else,” I grit through my teeth. “Have you told me everything now?”
“Yes, that’s everything.”
“Get some sleep, Maggie. We’ll figure it out tomorrow once I’ve had time to think on it.”
“Okay.” She buries herself deeper into the covers pressing her ass against my groin. Immediately I go hard, and I know I won’t be getting much sleep tonight. Rubbing my hand up her side I palm her breast, and pinch her nipple, rolling it between my fingertips. I slide my other hand between her thighs, teasing at her slick heat. “You drive me crazy.” I kiss her neck and along her jaw. Her legs spread, and her ass rubs over my erection. “Fuck, baby, I need inside you again.”
Maggie eases her shorts off, revealing she isn’t wearing anything underneath. Gripping my dick, I tease her, rubbing the head up and down the crack of her backside. Her back arches and she wiggles her butt in an attempt to get me where she craves me the most. Kissing her shoulders, I take my time, wanting to savor every second, wanting to savor her.
My skillful fingers move inside her velvet heat, her arousal coating my thick digits. My girl is so ready for me. This is what I want, a life with June, Maggie whatever her name is. It doesn’t matter. I’ll find a way to get her out of this mess. She’s mine and no one will come between us. I’ll make sure of that. Holding her shoulder, I ease into her from behind, slowly. Inch by delicious inch.
Her body trembles to my touch. She’s so responsive to every thrust. Every kiss as we make love. That bag isn’t her safety net I am. I want to be the man she needs. The man she runs to. The man she wants to wake up lying next to every morning. I want her to know she’s safe in my arms and I am never letting go.
**
THE NEXT MORNING EVERYTHINGMaggie told me is weighing heavily on me. The drugs. The money. It goes against everything in me not to turn her in. I won’t do that though. I love Maggie and what kind of future will we have if she’s in jail. We won’t have one. I know I need to speak with Carly and find out what she knows without it being obvious I know she left that note stuck in Maggie’s door. When I looked at it before I left this morning, I recognized the handwriting. I called her work, but they said she isn’t in today. I even called Roger as much as I hated doing so. I gave him a piece of my mind too for pulling that stunt with Maggie. He simply can’t let me be happy. I don’t know what I ever did for him to betray me every chance he gets but I’m done.
When he went behind my back with Carly, I never confronted him. I was hurt and angry. I only wanted to be left alone. I kept my distance and pretended the two of them never existed as best I could. I wasn’t spiteful. I wasn’t vengeful. But him trying to kiss Maggie, if I run into the bastard, I’m going to knock his teeth in.
