The Slow Burn (Moonlight and Motor Oil #2)(97)



And there was a shiny silver badge tacked over her right breast.

She was also twirling a pair of handcuffs on a finger.

“Not sure how sweet Christmas is in the big house, felon,” she drawled, grinning.

Jesus.

His Addie.

Toby got up but only to crawl over the bed, swing his legs around and sit on the edge at her side.

“Come here, baby,” he murmured.

“Hands behind your back,” she retorted.

He grinned and repeated, “Come here.”

“Oh no you don’t, big guy. Assume the position.”

He lunged forward darting his arm out, and he nabbed the handcuffs.

“Dammit!” she snapped. “And I was even ready for that.”

He tossed the cuffs to the bed, lunged forward again and nabbed his Addie.

Arm around her waist, he pulled her with him as he sat on the bed, so she was straddling his lap.

He wrapped his hands around her hips and tipped his head back to look up at her.

“Is this my Christmas present?” he asked.

“Partially. I look dorky in the cap, so I nixed that. And I wanted some sexy boots, but they’re scheduled to arrive on December twenty-seventh, which was disappointing. But at least it’s something.”

“I like it,” he told her.

“Of course you do. I’m hot in this getup. And you haven’t even discovered I’m not wearing any panties yet.”

If his cock wasn’t already hard, that would have done it.

But it was already hard, so it just made it harder.

He removed her belt.

She warned, “I think assaulting an officer is a felony.”

He laughed softly, dropped the belt and slid his hands over her ass.

She put hers to his neck.

“Sierra cornered you in the parking lot of the Mart?” he asked.

“Fuck,” she muttered, settling in on his thighs. “Who told you?”

“Margot heard.”

She looked to his ear and kept muttering. “Fabulous.”

“Babe—”

Her eyes came to his. “More important things were happening. And then I didn’t want to ruin Christmas by telling you. Or, say, ruin it more than it already was. She could wait.”

“Christmas wasn’t ruined.”

She slid one hand to his jaw and her eyes got soft. “Honey.”

“It was the best Christmas I’ve ever had.”

She studied him.

Then she said shortly, “That sucks.”

“It doesn’t. It was awesome. I had you and Brooks and Eliza. It was awesome that Margot had all her family around her. And it was awesome to know that Margot knew Johnny and me had you, Eliza and Brooks.” He slid his hands up her back. “It was perfect.”

She relaxed into him. “Okay.”

“I’m gonna talk to Johnny, and if she approaches us again, we’re gonna sit down and talk to her,” he shared.

Her eyes got round. “What?”

“Margot wants us to.”

Her eyes went normal. “Oh.”

“So we can go over what you two talked about later,” he told her, smoothing his hands back down, hooking his fingers into the hem of her dress and starting to shift the stretchy skirt over her ass. “And I’ll handcuff you another time—”

“I’m totally handcuffing you, Talon.”

He grinned and pulled the dress to her waist.

Her eyes got lazy.

“Now I’m just gonna do you,” he whispered, the dress now up to her ribs.

“Good, since I wanna do you too,” she whispered back.

It caught under her tits and he stopped there.

“Oh no, Addie. It’s just gonna be me doin’ you.”

“Toby—”

He wrapped his fingers tight around her ribs.

“She’s mine,” he said.

She slid her hands back and up into his hair and put her mouth to his. “Okay, baby.”

He dragged the dress up, she went up, her arms went up, and the dress was gone.

Then he curved an arm around her waist, surged to his feet, turned, planted a knee in the bed then his woman in it.

He covered her and kissed her.

Addie kissed him back.

Toby broke the kiss, angled away and looked down at her.

Naked.

Beautiful.

He shifted down and tugged one of her nipples in his mouth.

It budded immediately.

She liked his taste.

He liked hers too.

But he fucking loved how her body responded to him.

Immediately.

Her fingers slid back into his hair and she arched up into his draw.

He lifted his head and looked up at her.

“Arms over your head.”

She looked down at him. “Tobe.”

“Arms over your head, Addie.”

They held each other’s eyes.

Slowly, she lifted her arms over her head.

Fuck yeah.

He bent back to her nipple.

He gave them both attention and had her squirming before he traced a hand down her side, over her belly, down to the curls between her legs and glided light over her clit.

Her hips twitched, and she sighed, opening her legs wider.
