He couldn’t have said who moved first, but later, he would swear it was Lulu. She’d jumped on the bed and grabbed another pillow before swinging in his direction, hitting him on the arm.
The pillow war had officially begun.
He bonked her lightly on the head with a pillow, and she hit him in the stomach. Nobody was going to get hurt, of course, because they were wielding fluffy pillows. At some point, they were chasing each other around the bed, and he reached out to grab her ankle. They both collapsed, breathing hard, on the mattress, giggling like kids at a sleepover. All they needed were some s’mores and a scary movie.
They lay intertwined, no longer children but fully grown and consumed by mutual desire. He couldn't resist the urge to ravish Lulu, to feel her skin against his without the barrier of clothing.
She responded eagerly, straddling him and indulging in a slow and tantalizing kiss. Their tongues danced together in a game of passion, deepening with each passing moment.
His hands roamed her body, desperate to remove any obstacles between them. With Lulu, he felt completely lost in pleasure, unable to deny his desperate need for her.
The fabric of their clothing vanished in an instant, leaving their bare skin to ignite upon touch. His hands traced the curves of her body, each dip and curve an exciting discovery. Her flesh was like warm silk, inviting him to run his fingers along every inch. With every moan of pleasure that escaped her lips, his own desire intensified tenfold.
He explored her breasts with gentle caresses, teasing the hardened peaks until she cried out and gripped the sheets tightly. His fingertips then ventured lower, tracing the contours of her thighs until he found just the right spot to bring her to ecstasy. She whimpered his name as she surrendered to the waves of pleasure crashing over her.
Gripping her hips, he rolled them over so he hovered above her, allowing him to taste every inch of her neck and shoulders with his lips and tongue. She laughed playfully when he found a sensitive spot, her hands gliding down his spine and sending shivers down his body. Every touch from her was like fire igniting within him, fueling his growing urgency.
Luckily for him, Lulu felt the same.
She raised her hips eagerly, pulling him closer and locking their gazes together. With a slow and deliberate thrust, he entered her completely. They stayed like that for a long moment, basking in the intense connection between them. Eventually, he simply couldn’t stay still any longer.
Their movements were more confident this time, fueled by their growing knowledge of each other's desires. As she gyrated her hips with every powerful stroke, he couldn't take his eyes off of Lulu's stunning form. Her skin glistened with sweat and her long hair cascaded around them like a veil.
"Are you ready?" he growled, his voice rough with desire. "Tell me what you need."
Lulu didn't need to say a word as her body spoke volumes. With each thrust, she ground against him urgently, driving both of them towards the pinnacle. He could feel the heat building within him, the building pressure in his lower back.
It was hot and sexy, and it had him on the edge, ready to go over. But he wanted it to be the both of them jumping into the stars.
He fell only seconds after Lulu, giving in to the waves of pleasure that took full control of his body. He wanted to keep his eyes open to watch her orgasm again, but his lids squeezed shut as red-hot flames ran through his veins like lava.
When it was over, they collapsed together laughing and cuddling in the brand-new sheets. They couldn’t stay there all day, but for the next few minutes, Kai was going to simply enjoy holding Lulu in his arms.
And he couldn’t wait to do it again.

It would have been wonderful to lounge in bed with Kai all day, but that wasn’t something that Lulu was going to get to do. They both had jobs, and people depending on them to do it.
After a quick shower, Lulu changed into her uniform and headed directly to the station. She hadn’t heard from Deputy Steve yet, but depending on how long the searches took, she should be hearing something very soon.
She’d stopped at the coffeemaker to pour herself a cup before retreating to her office to once again to look over the investigation file one more time - just in case there was something she’d missed - when Steve walked into the station.
“You did it,” he crowed.
The station was empty except for the receptionist as everyone was out on patrol. Jill, however, wasn’t all that interested in police work. She was, as usual, playing a game on her phone and didn’t even look up when Steve walked in.
The deputy was smiling, which wasn’t all that unusual. Except this time, he was grinning like he’d won the lottery.
“I did what?”
“You cracked the case,” Steve said, following her to her tiny office at the back of the station. “The forensic team found what they think is the murder weapon. I have photos. They’ve taken it back to the lab to test for Dana’s blood. The DA told me to tell you to pick up Allie Baker and arrest her for murder.”
“So quick? They don’t want to wait for the forensics to come back?”
Steve handed her his phone so she could page through the photos he’d taken. It appeared to be a metal pipe with blood and hair stuck to it, wrapped in a bright two-toned blue checked cloth.
“He’s afraid she’ll try to run. She doesn’t have many ties to the community other than Jay Bradford and her job.”
