“How does a man who leaves a pregnant woman create such a gem?” he asked.

“That’s easy. She got most of her good traits from me.” Hazel smiled up teasingly.

“I’d say.”

And there they went again, falling into this sexual energy. They looked into each other’s eyes, which ended with him lowering his mouth to hers. Basking in the aftermath of his affectionate words, she grew hot all over.

She touched his face as the kiss deepened. When that didn’t satisfy her raging desire, she climbed onto him.

“Uh.” He grunted and then slid his hands to her rear to move her over his jean-clad erection.

She was lost at that point. All that mattered was him and how he made her feel.

He pulled up the hem of her long nightgown. She kept kissing him as his hands traveled slowly up her thighs to her bare butt.

Pulling back from the kiss, he met her eyes.

She smiled from pleasure in his heated response. Lifting his T-shirt to get it out of the way, she unbuttoned his jeans and then unzipped them as much as she could. He helped her by raising his hips, which incited her more because of the pressure. He pushed his jeans and underwear down.

Hazel resumed kissing him and moved back on top of him. His hands returned to her rear and their breathing became more ragged. She ran her hands along his hard chest, brushing her thumbs over his stiff nipples.

Callum lifted her nightgown and she raised her hands so he could take it off. He let it fall onto the sofa beside them. Then he gripped the back of her head and pressed an urgent kiss to her lips. She reciprocated with equal verve, moving over his erection.

With a gruff sound, he set her down over him. She was so wet and ready for him. Shivers of sensation numbed her to all else. She had to stay still for a moment, lest the pleasure end too soon.

She planted a kiss on his mouth. “I’ve never felt like this before.” Her voice came out as a breathless whisper.

“Neither have I,” he answered in kind.

That he’d confessed such a thing stimulated her passion even more. She kissed him long and deep, needing to soak every part of him into her.

He pumped his hips. Evidently his patience had run out. Bracing her hands on his shoulders, she did the same in rhythm with him. And just a few strokes later she came with such intensity she cried out.

He groaned his own release and she continued to move on him, not wanting this to end.

At last she put her forehead against his. He moved until he found her mouth for a gentle kiss. The tender, sweet action captured her heart. She was beyond backing off. She could not without suffering pain. Losing Callum would be the biggest heartbreak of her life.

Chapter 14

The next day, Callum stood in front of the bathroom mirror and admitted to himself that he would have difficulty leaving Hazel. But he would have more difficulty losing her permanently. At a loss for what to do, how to preserve himself if the worst happened, he fell into silent contemplation. Hazel ha

d studied him more than once but never confronted him. That made him fall in love with her even more. She gave him the space he needed without judging.

Wait...

Had he just thought that he had fallen in love with her?

He finished getting into his biker disguise, wig and glasses in place. He left the bathroom to find Hazel waiting, way too sexy for his confused state. He would rather take all her clothes off and stay home.

“You ready?” They were headed to Joe’s Bar to conduct another stakeout.

Her white-toothed smile and animated manner warmed a nonsexual part of him. This was Hazel. Positive. Loving. Strong in so many ways.

A mother...

“Yes.”

He offered his hand, more of an obligatory gesture. He was so out of sorts.
