“Understood,” I mutter.
“Now get the fuck out of my office and do your job. I want your reports on my desk first thing tomorrow morning.”
I go to leave until I realize what he just said. He has lost his damn mind. There’s no damn way.
“But I won’t be able to get all that done before the end of my shift and get out in the field to make that collar,” I protest.
“Looks like you’ll be earning some overtime. Don’t tell me you went out and got yourself a boyfriend.”
I have to bite down on my tongue to keep from cursing him out. If I were a male officer, he wouldn’t dare say some shit like that to me.
“Fuck off,” I say under my breath.
“What was that?”
“Nothing. You have a safe shift, sir.”
Asshole.
In the Deep
Ismile as I get up from my desk chair and close my laptop. I enjoy my online chats with my sisters. We have this bond I wasn’t expecting.
At first, I think we were all nervous and awkward. Now, I feel like they’ve been a part of my life all along. In a way I feel closer to them than I do Mack and the guys.
“Meeting you guys should be fun,” I mutter to myself as I think of our plans to finally meet up.
In just a few days, I’m going to meet my sisters face to face. I’m nervous and excited. This will help me to keep my mind off what’s coming and the fact that I can’t do anything about it.
I sigh and shake my head. Blowing out a breath, I look around my apartment. I never thought I would have this—a place all my own.
I head to the fridge for a beer. Once I finish it, I plan to take a nice long bath and read a good book. My muscles ache from the punishment I put my body through to ward off the stress of having to back off the warehouse before I got what I needed or being able to save the woman from the vision.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to save her when I’ve been forbidden from going back to the docks or any of Candido’s properties. I’m trying to wrap my head around how he has so much pull.
I swallow down a sip of beer as an idea comes to me. “Bingo. Now that’s how you use your head, Billy,” I say to myself with a sly grin.
With my beer in hand, I head into the bathroom as my thoughts begin to come together. Cap said I had to stay away. I know someone who can make sure that woman isn’t harmed and if Candido shows his true face, he’ll end up right where he belongs.
I begin to hum to myself as it all comes together. I’ll make the call after my bath. Ricci is going down one way or the other.
As the water runs, I pour in some milk bath. I’m going to treat myself. I bop my head from side to side happily. It’s going to be so sweet to nail Candido.
“Should have killed me when you had a chance,” I sing as I pull my hair up and cover it.
After, I grab my shower bag and head for the shower as I’ve decided to hop in and shave before my soak. As I’m shaving my legs, the water begins to feel like a warm caress on my skin. A gasp slips from my lips as my skin becomes hypersensitive.
I bite my lip and run my hand over my stomach. For the first time in a long time, I think about shaving my bits. I bite my lip as my neighbor comes to mind.
I’ve never seen him with a woman at his place. The way he looked at me that night in the elevator was enough to make me wonder what his type was. I cut the thought off as I remind myself he could be affiliated with Ricci.
“What a shame,” I huff and proceed to shave so I can sink into the tub.
I’m pleasantly surprised to find the water is at the perfect temperature as I step into the bath. I groan as I submerge myself into the water. The milk bath has a hint of honey in the scent that’s welcoming. I lie back and close my eyes as I allow the feeling of the warm water to carry me away.
What I’m not expecting is how far it carries me. One moment, I’m in my bathroom alone. The next, I have someone between my legs.
“Oh my God,” I cry out as I look down and find a blond head bobbing beneath the water as broad shoulders rest beneath my legs.
This feels so good I don’t want it to stop. I reach to tangle my hand into his hair and hold on tight. When his blue gaze lifts to mine, I take in a sharp breath of air.
