tingles of pleasure danced up my spine. I moved my hand from the table to her waist and slid the other up her back and into her hair. Grabbing a fistful of her soft, thick curls, I pulled her head back so I could see her eyes. Slowly, I began gliding in and out. She arched up to meet me with each stroke. In no time at all, I increased the pace. Faster and faster, harder and harder, I pounded in and out of her. It was raw, sweaty and real…more real than I’d ever let it get with a woman. The sound of her screaming my name completely unraveled me. With a shout of my own, I rode my orgasm all the way to the finish line. Instead of feeling sated, though, I wanted more. I wanted her to stay, so we could repeat what we’d just done. Only this time, I would take her in my shower or on my living room floor.
    As I lifted myself off of her, she let out a sigh of contentment.
    “You good?” I asked, smiling down at her. She returned the smile and that place inside my chest reserved only for Kalen began to give. Quickly, I pulled away from her and went to dispose of the condom. When I returned to the living room, she was getting dressed. “Are you sure I can’t talk you into staying?”
    Her smile dimmed and a flicker of guilt appeared on her face. “Can I have a rain check, please?”
    It was probably for the best. I was tired tonight anyway. I quickly pulled on my jeans and walked her to the door. “No worries. I am beat anyway. Have fun with your friends tonight.” I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and watched her run down the steps and jump into her car. She waved as she drove away. Sarah was special. I knew this, but I couldn’t do a damn thing about it. After locking the door, I did a quick clean up before going to bed.
    The next day, Garrett was in the office. I didn’t know much about my new boss, except he was a nice guy. That was about it. After getting the low down on our cases, he pulled out several files and spread them across his desk.
    “Max McLellan is a very important client. He is also one of my best friends. Truth be told, he’s the reason I opened this business and hired the two of you. As of right now, we have enough cases to barely squeak by. I’m not paying you anywhere near what you are worth. However, this is hopefully about to change. Max is worried about his wife’s best friend. Her name is Piper O’Connell and here is all the information I have on her.”
    For the next hour, the three of us pored over the file and talked strategy. Someone hurt this woman and she wasn’t talking. Garrett and Max both assumed her silence was out of fear. Max wanted us to figure it out, but we didn’t have dick to go on. Garrett knew we had our work cut out for us, but wanted us to pull out all stops for this woman. Max was paying generously for any and all information we could dig up.
    “Something you both should know,” Garrett added, “I am eventually going to ask Max to be a silent partner in the business. He’s busy with wedding shit right now, but as soon as his dance card clears, I am on it. The more money we can get into the business, the better off we will be. If either of you are interested in buying in, I will be happy to go thirds. If not, no worries, just know that Max will most likely be your boss one of these days, so whatever you do, don’t piss him off. We can’t afford it.” He handed us two more files to look over, said he had shit to do and took off. Bobby and I spent the rest of the afternoon talking timelines and strategy for the three cases.
    I didn’t get home until well after six that evening. After scarfing down a ham sandwich and drinking a beer, I decided to make the two block trek to Patterson’s. Taking Garrett up on his offer had been in the back of my mind all day, so had Sarah. Her smell, taste and the way she felt when I was balls deep inside her invaded my every waking moment. I needed to stay away. I had serious baggage, but who was I kidding? I couldn’t stay
