visible distance between them she knew only he could bridge. An unsettled silence filled the room, until he sighed and moved to the chair, making it creak as he sank into it.
    It took a few moments before he met her gaze. Unshed tears reflected off the pale moonlight, making her heart clench. She wanted to reach for him, but wasn’t sure if he’d turn away.
    Finally he tilted his lips into a tentative smile and nodded at her. “You were brilliant tonight. That bit with the flash… I didn’t even know you had it in your jacket.”
    “I’m a photojournalist. It’s kind of the same as you and your gun.”
    Brogan chuckled but his smile faded with his laughter. “I’m sorry, Paige. What I did…” He sighed as he stared down at his boots. “I just didn’t know how to get to Tate without dragging you down with me. I’d promised myself I’d never let that bastard hurt another person I loved.”
    His voice cracked, and he turned away. She watched his muscles flex as he went to push himself up and grabbed his hand, stopping him.
    “I won’t lie and tell you I’m not hurt by what happened. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want you in my life.” She flashed him a genuine smile. “Do you know what I wished for the entire time you were gone?”
    He shook his head, his gaze riveted to hers.
    “This,” she said, tracing her finger along his jaw as she pulled him toward her. “I love you, Brogan. Six months hasn’t changed that.”
    Relief washed over his expression and a single tear slipped down his cheek before he gave her a dangerous smile. “I love you, too, baby. But I’m afraid there’s still one little problem, besides the fact you have way too many clothes on.”
    She giggled as he stripped them both bare, but then frowned, wondering what was still left unsaid, when he wrapped one arm around her waist and hoisted her off the bed. The room blurred as he jostled her onto his lap, stopping with her hips over his thighs and her ass beneath his palm. A tingle of excitement sparked along her skin as he smoothed his fingers across her buttocks, humming softly.
    “Despite the fact everything turned out okay, there’s no denying that you’ve been a very naughty girl these past two days. A fact I can’t let go…unpunished.”
    Moisture pooled between her thighs as heat coiled deep inside her, electrifying every nerve until her skin felt charged. She wanted to challenge his new dominant attitude but couldn’t seem to get her tongue to form the words. Instead, it curled around a deep moan as Brogan drew circles across her ass.
    “Damn, I love your butt, so curvy and strong. You should have seen Leo’s face when you took off through that intersection. I thought the poor guy was going to cream his pants just watching your ass wiggle on the seat. If only he could see me now.”
    “Brogan, I—”
    She cried out as the first slap warmed her ass. Her skin tingled beneath the blow, sending a ripple of pleasure straight to her sex. She’d often thought about being spanked, but had never dreamt she’d actually experience it.
    “Hush, baby, and take your spanking like a good girl should. If you behave, I’ll give you a reward after.”
    Paige turned to look at him over her shoulder when his hand rained down on her, placing a series of slaps across her cheeks. Each one stung her skin until the sensation bled into a hot spike that culminated in her groin. Warm honey coated her lips and she moaned when he slipped his finger between her folds, drawing it slowly along her cleft until he could circle her clit.
    “Oh, baby. Do you know how wet you are? Damn, if I’d known you’d love being spanked so much, I would have put you over my knee long ago.”
    Paige wanted to tease him back, but his finger kept rubbing her nub with just enough pressure she couldn’t speak…couldn’t breathe. She bit her lip, trying to hold the feeling at bay, until his other hand slid between her legs and he plunged two fingers deep
