Karina got up, and my cock turned to fucking stone when I allowed my gaze to move over her naked body.
Her eyes zeroed in on the movement, and her eyebrows slanted. “Again?”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
“There’s no time. I need to go.” She started down the hall, and I leaped off the couch, rushing after her.
“Come on. Are you just going to leave him hanging like this?”
“Ha. From what I can see, he’s all but hanging right now.”
I placed my hands on my waist, pushing my pelvis out a little like I had total bragging rights when it came to the man with the best cock in the world.
From out of nowhere, a shirt was tossed over my head. “You are such a fucking guy.”
I pulled the shirt off my face and threw it on the floor before grabbing her hips, pulling her ass against my cock, and rolling my hips. “We can’t let this perfectly good hard cock go to waste, now, can we?”
“Oh, my God, if we should utilize every opportunity your cock gets hard, I’ll be unable to walk within two days.”
I stiffened. “Two days? That’s a low blow, princess. I’m sure I can do it within twenty-four hours.”
She laughed and pulled away from me. All I could do was stand there with a raging hard-on and watch while she got dressed.
“When will I see you again?” I leaned against the closet door.
“I don’t know. We’ll have to see how it goes.” With her dress on, she turned to face me before slipping her heels on. “But I promise it won’t be long.”
I smiled. “Good.”
A few moments of silence passed, and I noticed the atmosphere thicken along with the serious expression on her face.
“What about my brothers?”
“What about them?”
“You know they didn’t kill Gio.”
Frustration rushed through my chest, and I pull my palm down my face. “It’s complicated, Karina.”
“Lorik, please. I’m telling you, neither Dante nor Antonio did it.”
“I know,” I muttered, and her eyes narrowed.
“You know?”
I pushed myself off the closet door and walked closer to her. “I can’t discuss anything about the case with you, Karina. Just know I’m convinced it’s neither one of your brothers. But, unfortunately, we have protocol we have to follow.”
“I know.” Her gaze fell to the floor. “I know that.”
“Come here.” I wrapped my arms around her shoulders. “I promise you I’ll get to the bottom of it.”
She nestled her face against my chest. “Lorik, you know we can’t be together as long as you’re a cop.”
I took a deep breath as reality once again came to destroy the little happiness we managed to find during the last few hours.Fuck, reality is such a bitch.
“I know that, princess,” I whispered and placed a chaste kiss on her head. “We’ll figure it out.”
When she pulled away and straightened, my body—and heart—mourned the loss.
