stopped
functioning. Instantly the kiss turned hot and sexual. Her tongue caressed his
greedily, her whole body vibrating with suppressed need.
Ryan threaded his hands through the luxurious softness of her
hair and squeezed, tugging her head back and holding her there as he stroked the
smooth inside of her mouth with his tongue. She made a hungry little sound that
made him desperate to back her up against the wall and lift her long legs around
his hips so he could rub his aching cock between her thighs. Could he make her
come like that? He was willing to try. God, he could see them like that, him
pressing her into the wall, his hips wedged tight between her open thighs as her
legs gripped his waist. He’d kiss her deep and slow while he slid his cock
against her in slow circles until she shook and cried out into his mouth. Oh,
fuck, he wanted that. How far did she want him to take this?
The door handle jostled, breaking the spell.
Candace sprang away with a gasp. Putting a chokehold on the
lust roaring through his bloodstream, Ryan waited a second to make sure she had
her composure, then unlocked the deadbolt. As the door swung open, Candace
brought her fingers to her swollen lips, her expression guilty as hell.
A brunette Ryan recognized as one of her roommates stood in the
doorway, stopping short when she saw them. “Uh...sorry.”
“Hey, Erin,” Candace said to the dark-haired nurse, trying to
act like nothing had happened and doing a piss-poor job of it. Good thing she
couldn’t see how red her face was or how rosy and shiny her lips were. She
looked like a woman who’d been thoroughly kissed. The most primal part of him
purred in satisfaction at the evidence, liking that his possession showed.
Erin’s green eyes bounced back and forth between them
questioningly. “I can come back.”
“No, it’s fine,” Candace insisted, having recovered her
professional demeanor. Back in control despite the color riding her cheekbones.
“Did you need to talk to me?”
Erin glanced at him uncertainly, but Ryan merely folded his
arms and gave her a polite smile, letting her know he had no intention of
leaving. She turned her attention back to Candace. “I just wanted to let you
know that Bill’s in recovery and doing okay. He’ll be going up to his room in
another hour if you want to come back and see him.”
“Thanks, but I’ll be in a mission brief by then.” Candace
dragged a hand through her hair, now a bit more mussed from his hands being
bunched in it. He wasn’t sorry. “Does he know...?”
“Yes,” Erin answered. “But it’s going to take a while for it to
sink in. Someone’s contacted his wife and she’ll be meeting him in Germany once
he arrives at the hospital in Landstuhl.”
Candace nodded. “Thanks for letting me know.”
“No problem.” Her gaze dropped to Candace’s scraped palms and
elbows. “Need anything for those cuts?”
“No, I’ll scrub them out in the shower.”
“You need to eat and get some sleep,” Ryan interjected. And he
needed an ice-cold shower.
Candace fixed her dark eyes on him. A spark of irritation lit
their depths. “I was planning on it, Sergeant, thanks.”
Her cool tone grated on his nerves more than the mention of his
rank did. It pissed him off that she could revert back to being aloof so quickly
after she’d all but melted in his arms a minute earlier. Did she seriously think
her friend didn’t know they’d just been making out? Because if her flushed mouth
and face didn’t give it away, the bulge at the front of his pants definitely
would.
He set his jaw, reminding himself of the reality here. She was
an officer, and her friend had just interrupted something that could get them
both into trouble. “Good, because it’s going to be a really late night for you.”
She had to know she’d be out there hunting on another sortie tonight in the
darkness, following up on the latest intel about the attacks and any leads
garnered from the prisoners
functioning. Instantly the kiss turned hot and sexual. Her tongue caressed his
greedily, her whole body vibrating with suppressed need.
