But when he almost stumbled up the single step, he reluctantly pulled his lips free so he could see where the fuck he was going. He managed to hang onto her as he turned the knob, pushed the door open with his boot and carried her inside.
“Make sure that monster stays out from under my feet,” he warned. He wanted them both to end up in her bed, not the emergency room.
“He’s more of a road block than a speed bump.”
That was for damn sure, but that didn’t lessen his concern.
Apparently, she wasn’t worried about falling hard to the floor when she breathed, “Hurry,” before tracing the outer shell of his ear with her tongue and nipping his earlobe.
“Jesus.” That had sent a shock of lightning right into his balls.
Making him worry that his zipper might soon be embedded in his cock.
He walked faster. “Keep an eye out for Murphy.”
“He’s behind you.”
“I know he is but that doesn’t mean he won’t dash in front of me and take us both down.”
“Murphy doesn’t dash anywhere.”
“You know what I mean.”
“You could put me down,” she suggested with a smile curling those lips he wanted to taste again.
“I will when I’m ready.”
Her short nails dug into the skin at the top of his spine. “You’re stubborn.”
He huffed. “You call me stubborn?”
He hooked a left into the bedroom suite and stopped in the middle of the room. He was proud of himself for not being out of breath.
“Get naked,” he ordered as he placed her on her feet.
“Yes, boss.”
He ground his teeth. “It’s probably not smart to agitate a man about to spank your ass.”
When her eyebrows rose, her deep brown eyes filled with mischief. “Ooooor is it?”
“Woman, you can push me all you want as long as you’re able to deal with the consequences.”
Her chin lifted. “It’s a risk I’m willing to take.”
He shook his head. “Always have to be a challenge.”
“Life would be boring otherwise.”
That was so damn true.
Just as he was turning to go sit on the edge of the bed, he spotted something new on the nightstand.
Every muscle and joint locked when he realized what it was.
What the ever-loving fuck?
Within three long strides, he swiped the framed picture off the nightstand and stared at it. “Where the fuck did this come from?”
“My parents shipped me more of my things.”
For fuck’s sake!
He slammed the academy graduation picture of her and her father smiling and hugging face-down.
Talk about a fucking cock-block. “I don’t need your father watching what I’m about to do to you.”
Holy shit, that could be enough to make him loose his erection.
“Oh, should I turn off the security cameras set up in the bedroom? He insists on keeping an eye on me. You know… to make sure I’m safe.”
He spun. “What?”
She grinned. “I never saw that shade of pale before. Impressive. Are you feeling lightheaded? Do you need to lie down?”
“No.” He headed back to the foot of the bed and sat on the edge. She was still fully clothed. Unacceptable. “Didn’t I tell you to get naked?”
“Yes, but then you got distracted.”
“Well, now I need to be distracted from what I just saw.”
“A family photo?” A gleam filled in her eyes.
“You know it’s not just any fucking family photo,” he growled.
“Of course it isn’t. It was an important milestone in my life. I was glad both my parents are still around to share it with me. They’re proud of my accomplishments and my father would’ve discouraged me from entering the academy if he wasn’t confident that I could handle the job. Not only do it, but do it well.”
Crew pulled in a breath through his nose. “This is not the conversation I want to have right before you get naked.”
With a shrug, she grabbed the bottom of her camisole and began to pull it up. “Well, it’s the conversation you got because you couldn’t ignore a simple photo.”
It wasn’t the photo itself. It was the reminder that he was fucking the daughter of a former colleague.
Not only fucking her, but spanking her goddamn ass.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
To be honest, Cami hadn’t really thought much about the location of the photo before putting it there. Not that he needed to know that. When she unpacked it from one of the boxes her parents shipped, she wasn’t sure that Crew would ever grace her bed with his presence again.
She could see how being “watched” by her father could be a little off-putting. She’d find a new location for it later. When she wasn’t tied up with more important things.
Like the man sitting on the edge of her bed, waiting for her to finish getting undressed.
“You’re not getting naked?” she asked him.
“Not if you don’t want to be covered in my DNA while my hand leaves an imprint against your ass.”
A shiver slipped down her spine at the anticipation of being across his lap, face down and ass up.
