.”“Sounds about right,” Mia said.“Girl, he is gorgeous,” Nya said.“I’m sending this profile to Janelle.Okay, here’s something interesting—photos for the special weapons and tactic division.”“He’s SWAT?” Mia asked, surprised.“No,” Nya said, “but there are a few seriously attractive men that are.I think I’d better plan myself a trip to the Keys.” Nya chuckled and Mia just shook her head.Her sister was too outrageous.They continued talking about Stephen awhile longer, then the weather, Paradise Island and finally Stephen again.Later, after hanging up, Mia skimmed through the local newspaper.The hurricane, of course, was front-page news.Then turning the pages she was surprised to see a picture of Stephen.The article was about his heroic rescue a week ago and the citation he would receive.The caption read, “Local hero Deputy Sheriff Esteban Morales to be honored at Terrence Jeffries’s Club Hurricane tomorrow night.”With a glass of wine in hand, from a bottle she picked up earlier, Mia went into the living room, grabbed her book and started reading.The battery-operated lamp she bought worked perfectly.It was just bright enough for her to read in comfort.But as soon as she turned a few pages, she started getting sleepy.Having not slept much the night before, she felt her eyes grow heavy and soon she fell asleep.Her dreams came in a kaleidoscope of images all centered on Deputy Sheriff Esteban Morales.All warnings had been heeded.Roads were blocked and shelters were full.Now Stephen could finally get to Mia.He drove directly to Leo’s house.The first thing he noticed was that one side of the front yard was beginning to flood.It wasn’t an unusual occurrence when it rained too much and too hard.He often helped Leo pump water out of the yard.But not now.It was raining too hard and the wind had gotten stronger.Ana was definitely not finished.He ran along the saturated paved walkway, then cut across to the flooded inset stepping stones.He hurried up the steps to the front door and knocked.There was no answer.He’d seen Mia’s car parked out front so he knew she was home.He knocked again and then checked the doorknob.It turned easily.He shook his head making a mental note to remind her to secure the locks, something he always warned Leo to do, as well.Inside he looked around.The room was dark, but he saw Mia instantly.She looked cozy and content curled up in her father’s huge chair.He removed his wet raincoat and walked over to her.As he looked down at her, his heart lurched and a muscle in his neck tensed.She was the only woman to elicit such a powerful reaction from him.She was his Mia, the woman he had adored for so long.She had told him not to come, but how could he not?At that moment she was his and he drank in everything about her.She had on a sleeveless cream-colored dress that came down to her red toenails.It buttoned up the front and was opened just enough that he could see the sweet swell of her breasts and the luscious curve of her thighs.His already hard erection jumped of its own volition at just seeing her brown skin.He inhaled quickly and licked his lips, but his mouth was too dry to suffice.She took his breath away.“Slowly,” he whispered, cautioning himself, mindful of his promise.He knelt down to her, taking in the visual perfection of the woman of his fantasies as she slept.Mia opened her eyes slowly, feeling her dream turn to reality.Stephen stood before her.Wordlessly he knelt down to her, his eyes never leaving hers.She read his intention there.Then in an instant his mouth was on her everywhere, kissing, licking, tasting, arousing her body’s senses to passionate madness.She gasped and moaned enjoying the dreamlike sensations of his lustful hunger.Then he leaned back and smiled.He reached out and began unbuttoning her dress slowly, seductively revealing her nakedness to his pleasure.She waited impatiently, longing for the seconds to pass quickly, yet wanting this moment to last forever.When the fabric finally parted, her body heated to molten lava as she watched his dark eyes burn over her skin.He touched her nipple, and she trembled.Watching intently she saw his finger run down the front of her stomach then drift between her legs.She gasped as his fingers brushed her wetness.Her legs parted instinctively for him.He leaned closer, his mouth hovering just inches from hers.The kiss captured her, freezing and burning her at the same time.His tongue delved deep, taking her breath away.She inched closer, wanting all of him.His hands caressed her, feeling her heavy breasts, her quivering stomach, and the oh-so-sweet wetness he loved to fondle.She called out his name as his lips followed the path his hand had just taken.He kissed down, down, deeper to her core, her treasure.She lay there enjoying his masterful quest [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
