them and it made her heart soften for him even more. The fact that Nick was being such a considerate lover increased Lyndsay’s libido even more. Giving him a playful wink, she took his hand in hers and slowly guided him down the hall to her bedroom. Although her bedroom usually had bright sun pouring into it all day, today was overcast and it made the dimmer shading of the room quite calming and romantic. Without thinking, Lyndsay kicked off her shoes, then stood before him and quietly began unbuttoning his shirt. As Nick watched her petite hands work the buttons loose, she felt him glide his hands through her hair as he let her take control. Her hair felt soft and smooth around her shoulders and she could see desire in his eyes as she concentrated on his shirt. With the buttons finally undone, Lyndsay ran her hands slowly up his chest to his shoulders and pushed the shirt back until it fell to the floor behind him. As her instincts took over, she placed both of her hands on his chest and gently explored every inch of him. His pecs were tight and muscular with just enough chest hair to gently pull on from time to time.
A s she caressed his stomach, chest, and shoulders, Nick realized he was already hard as a rock and they had only just started. He was instantly overcome by how this petite little blonde had captured his heart so quickly. Just the simple caressing of his torso was enough to drive him over the edge. Allowing her free rein to continue exploring his chest at her pace, Nick watched her every move with fascination. Her expression was of a woman who had never seen a man’s body before and Nick was completely captivated. It was at that moment when Nick knew there was a deeper sexuality lying dormant in Lyndsay than perhaps even she knew. He hoped more than anything that he would be the one to open up doors to exciting and erotic places she had not yet discovered and he wanted desperately to take her sexually to places she could never have imagined. But for tonight, he was going to explore her slowly, sensually, and intimately. He was going to love her body thoroughly with sensitivity to her comfort levels. As he gently pulled her down onto the bed, the only thing on Nick’s mind was his overwhelming desire to passionately make love to her.
Chapter Eight
The courtroom was filled to the brim during the last day of the murder trial of gang leader Neal Johnson. Onlookers of the trial ranged from his brother Mike Johnson and the Johnson gang, to Joe Lawson’s family, the media , law students, and fellow attorneys for both the prosecution and defense. Feeling pissed off that the earlier forensic evidence he was counting on to win this case ended up being bogus, Nick was sure he was going to lose the case. As he had suspected would happen, the defense had shattered the eyewitness account from Rebecca Pike. The defense had cross examined her with such force, that the once very sure Rebecca came unglued and was suddenly uncertain due to the badgering by the defense. As the proceedings were winding down and Judge Sheffield was about to excuse the jury for deliberation, John Palmer, Nick’s top investigator, slipped into the courtroom and handed Nick a piece of paper. Upon reading what was written on the sheet, Nick stood up, looked at Judge Sheffield and asked in a loud voice, “The prosecution requests a ten minute recess, Your Honor. Some new evidence has come to light which I need to review.”
Judge Sheffield slammed his gavel down and announced, “Ten minute recess. We will convene back here at 1:45.” Wasting no time, Nick huddled with his lead detective and reviewed the new evidence. This evidence was the Hail Mary they needed and Nick knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this long time criminal was now going to be put away for life.
Mike Johnson and the Johnson gang members had snickered all the way through the trial, knowing that their leader was alw ays careful
