The answers were out there, and I would not rest until I helped him find them.
CONNECTION REVEALED
J.D. Stevens
She was killing me. Her smell. Her voice. Her smooth ebony skin. The damn clothes she wore made her more irresistible. While I was attracted to her, I knew it couldn’t go anywhere. Not until I got the answers I needed.
It was a push and pull feeling with Rebel. I was drawn to her. Everything about her interested me. It was almost like the universe was pushing me towards her. Then I thought of Dani and what I was trying to do for her and Luca, then I could feel myself pulling away.
I wanted to get to know her. I definitely wanted to fuck her, but I was hesitant because where could it lead when I was so consumed with finding who killed my family?
I followed Rebel towards her home office, and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her ass. The woman was beyond gorgeous, and these tiny, thin shorts she wore did little to cover her body.
I pushed down the groan as my motorcycle boots echoed off the hardwood floors of her apartment. The dark gray hardwood floors extended to every part of her place I could see. The color went well with the ivory and bluish-gray paint scheme of her apartment. It was nice, high-end, and the complete opposite of somewhere I thought she’d live.
She had that hippie aura about her. I expected bright, floral colors. Not this modern, luxury look.
She walked barefoot down her hallway so gracefully it was almost like she was gliding. The elegant movements of her hips almost had me in a trance.
All of a sudden, she stopped, and I almost bumped into her. She faced me and chuckled. “You didn’t hear a word I said, did you?”
“No. I was distracted.”
There was no point in hiding my attraction to her.
A mischievous smile crossed her face. “I can put something else on if you like or...”
“Or?” I tilted my head and smiled at her.
The look of lust in her eyes almost knocked me off my feet. She wanted me and fuck, I wanted her too.
“Or maybe I can take this off?” She caught her bottom lip in between her teeth.
Her dark nipples were visible through the thin fabric of her tank top. I wanted to take them into my mouth and suck them until she moaned my name in pure ecstasy.
I closed the distance between us, invading her personal bubble. Her scent washed over me. The scent was so intoxicating, it filled the air and made my head spin. So fucking alluring. With my thumb, I released her lip from between her teeth, then brushed the pad along her lower lip.
“You’re playing a very dangerous game, sweetheart.” I dropped my hand. “One I don’t think you really want to play.”
As she looked into my eyes, I saw the slight craning of her neck to meet my towering height. I pulled one of her braids and felt its silky texture as I wrapped it around my finger before releasing it.
“Or maybe it’s you, J.D. who’s afraid to play.”
Stepping away, she made her way into her office, the silence lingering in the air. My hand pressed against the hardness in my jeans, and a low moan escaped my lips as I savored the sensation.
“You coming!” she shouted, from inside the room after a few minutes.
I took in a deep breath, and released it, trying to calm myself down. This wasn’t the time to get my dick wet. I needed to find out what happened to Dani.
When I stepped into the room, it was like the interaction between us never happened. She was sitting behind her desk with her laptop open, her fingers quickly moving across the keyboard.
Just like last time, I grabbed the chair from in front of her desk and positioned it beside her, ensuring we were close for our conversation. She glanced at me when I sat down before she turned her attention back to the screen.
“Meet Sgt. Earl Daniels.”
She turned the computer towards me. A picture of Sgt. Daniels dressed in his police uniform with the American and North Carolina flags standing behind him in the background. He was in his mid to late forties, tall, and muscular. He definitely looked like a cop.
She moved the computer back in front of her. “Sgt. Earl Daniels met with his untimely death not even a week after Dani.”
