“Oh?” she squeaked nervously, her cheeks blooming with red.

“Yeah, and while I do think you’re adorable sometimes, I also think you’re incredibly gorgeous.” Lowering my head, I inhaled her scent of coffee and cinnamon. When our lips were only centimeters apart, I whispered, “And jealousy looks real fucking sexy on you, baby girl.”

I didn’t give her time to react before I pressed my lips to hers. Her tiny gasp gave me the opening I needed to slip my tongue into her mouth. She tasted like coffee and cinnamon, which were quickly becoming my favorite smell and flavor. I wondered if it was a drink she had a lot or if she was simply that sweet. I had a feeling it was the latter, and I couldn’t wait to see if her pussy was just as delicious.

After a couple of minutes, I had to pull away before I lifted her by her round ass and took her to the nearest deserted room to find out.

“Damn. Could eat you for my next meal, but I need to make up for being a complete…blundering dunderhead?” I finished with a chuckle.

Nora shrugged, looking a little dazed, which made me feel smug satisfaction. “It seemed appropriate.”

I laughed again, then released her but kept her hand in mine. “You good with stopping at my place, then?”

“That’s fine unless we get a call. Then I’ll have to meet you at the company station.”

After giving her another quick kiss, I smiled. “Sounds like a plan.”

Glancing around, I spotted two prospects staring at us with their mouths hanging open. Probably because they’d never seenme with a woman who was clearly more than a friend. Or it could’ve been because they’d rarely seen me smile unless I was talking to a jury.

“You.” I pointed at the tall, gangly one. “Tell Prez I’m gonna push the meeting to tomorrow morning. And you”—I pointed at the shorter, even skinnier one—“go buy a bunch of pregnancy tests and give ’em to Wizard.”

His face screwed up, and he muttered, “Seriously?”

My eyes narrowed, and my expression hardened. “You questioning my orders, probie?”

“No,” he replied quickly. “Consider it done.”

I nodded, and my face softened when I turned back to Nora. She was staring at me, her blue eyes clouded, but I wasn’t sure what she was feeling.

“You okay?” I was a little worried that I’d scared her.

“Yeah…um…that was kind of…” Her skin flushed, her cheeks turning deep red, but she seemed to gather her courage before she blurted, “Hot.”

I tossed my head back and laughed heartily, then pulled her in for another quick, hard kiss. “Glad you think so, baby girl. Now, let’s go. Got some groveling to do so I can get some more of those sexy-as-fuck kisses.”

A dreamy smile formed on Nora’s gorgeous face. “I think you’ve earned a few,” she said with a giggle.

“Good,” I grunted as I turned her around and patted her tight ass to get her moving. “’Cause I’m already addicted.”

Luck was on my side because they didn’t get another call before Nora’s shift ended. When she exited the building, she’d changed into a pink sundress that made her hair look even redder. Wasn’t there some stupid rule about redheads wearing pink? Just another useless fact spouted by my mother, as if it would help me judge any woman I was considering marrying.Well, Mother, to that I say bull-fucking-shit. Nora looked like a goddess.

Her hair had been in a twist on the top of her head, but now it hung in soft waves down her back. I couldn’t wait to feel those locks wrapped around my hands while I pumped my cock into her tight little pussy. I carefully adjusted myself before she caught sight of me, then gave her a slow, lazy smile.

“Lookin’ gorgeous, baby girl.”

“Thanks,” she answered, a pink blush making her freckles pop. Eventually, I was gonna connect every last one with my tongue.

I took her hand and walked her the few steps to my truck, then helped her up inside. When I reached across her to clip in the seat belt, my arm brushed her tits, and her nipples poked through the fabric of her dress. Her quick intake of air made them jiggle a little, and I had to hold back a groan. Fuck…I was gonna end up needing her EMT services when I passed out from blue balls.

After making my way around the truck, I got in and settled in the driver’s seat. There was a fancy little French restaurant around the corner, and I’d made a reservation as soon as she’d climbed back into her ambulance earlier.

It wasn’t my style, but I would do whatever it took to convince Nora to give us a shot.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I glanced at her and was surprised to see her disappointed expression.

“Don’t like French food, baby girl?”

“It’s not that. It’s just…”
