Guardian by Kaitlyn O'Connor (digital book reader .TXT) 📕

And neither guard held.

She was just as thrilled by the feelof his mouth on hers, by the envelopment of his heat, and warmthand strength as she had been the first time he’d taken her into hisarms and kissed her.

She didn’t have the wine still singingin her veins to boost the temperature or deafen her to reason, butthat didn’t matter either.

She felt intoxicated by the heatedadhesion of his mouth, the restless exploration of her mouth withhis tongue. His scent and taste wrapped her in a vibrant cocoonthat made everything inside of her pulse with the jungle beat ofprimal mating urges.

He swept her into his arms withouteven groaning or straining, as if she weighed next to nothing.Transition from the living area to the bedroom wasn’t quite assmooth. He stumbled over something and ping ponged from one wall toanother before he rang the door and then sort of leapt toward thebed with her.

Or maybe sprawled?

The landing was minimal. He managed itwithout breaking contact with her mouth or making her bite hertongue.

Breaking contact after a moment, hepulled her upright and tunneled under her hoodie, pulling it offover her head and tossing it. Then he pulled his own shirt off andtossed it after the first and shoved her flat, pulling on first onenipple and then the other with the hot suction of his mouth untilshe was tugging mindlessly at his hair.

Mindless because the last thing shewanted was to detach him—even for a moment.

She felt like she was lying on hotcoals, as if she was going to burst into flame anymoment.

Thankfully, he knew what to do to putthe fire out.

He yanked her pants down and pluggedthe cock in, waltzing up the bed with her in his effort to sheathhis flesh.

He stopped when he banged his head onthe headboard, lifted his head and looked around. And then hedragged her back down the bed. Catching his cock in one hand, hedragged the wonder wand along her cleft to gather moisture, pullingnotes from her throat she didn’t even know she could make as hebumped along the sensitive crevice with the hard knob offlesh.

She let go of his hair and grabbed hisarms, digging her nails in.

He let out a hiss, but otherwiseignored the frantic demand.

Confused by his objective, thinking hejust couldn’t find the right spot, Marilyn lifted and settledtrying to help him ring it.

Finally, thankfully, he not onlyspeared the mouth of her sex, his plowing efforts paid off. Theystill waltzed up the bed, but when they ran into the headboard hehad just the bracing he needed to sink in and it was a wild rideafter that. Enough pumping to send her into the stratosphere whenthe tension building inside of her snapped like a breakingrubber-band.

She sang the lover’s anthem until hesilenced her by covering her mouth and ramming his tongue down herthroat.

Almost the instant he managed tofocus, he went off like a cannon.

Marilyn could almost have sworn shefelt the hot semen hit the back of her throat he was sodeep.

They were both asleep almost beforethey touched down again.

Marilyn regained consciousness first,just as the first fingers of dawn began to peep through the blinds.In no great hurry to leap up, she coasted for a little bit,enjoying the warm body curled around her.

And then she remembered what hadbrought her back to Jarrod’s apartment and she was instantly wide,wide awake.

Unfortunately, she was also pinned tothe bed.

Chapter Eight

Marilyn knew the odds were stackedheavily against her, but she also knew that she had a window thatwas closing fast if it wasn’t already closed.

She was afraid that it was, but shefelt a desperation to see if she could retrieve or delete therecording of her searching Jarrod’s place if there was even achance of it.

Unfortunately, Jarrod was a deadweight on her. He felt like he weighed a ton, and she doubted shecould lift him at all, let alone remove herself from beneath himwithout waking him up.

She decided to try, though.

She tried just slithering out fromunder him first.

His arm tightened.

She stilled.

After waiting for a count of threeminutes, she tried rolling.

He shifted closer.

She subsided, thinking.

Just about the time she decided shecould try again, someone pounded on the front door like they meantto break it in.

Jarrod left the bed as if he’d beencatapulted from it, landing at the foot with his feet spread in afighter’s stance.

Marilyn was so stunned by thetransformation she couldn’t do anything but gape at him.

The pounding came again.

Stark naked, Jarrod strode from theroom.

Marilyn couldn’t decide if he wassleep walking or knew what he was doing. She scrambled out of thebed, though, looked frantically for her top, and, spotting it,snatched it up as she heard Jarrod open the front door. His growlwas unwelcoming.

“What can I do for you …officer?”

Marilyn almost had heart failure. Onthe point of heading for the bathroom, she whirled and ran ontiptoe to the door to flatten herself against it andlisten.

Dillard stared at the naked,thoroughly ruffled giant, and felt something he was unfamiliarwith—fear.

Maybe even a little envy.

The librarian was right, he thoughtvaguely. This was no geek. He might look slender in clothes.Without them he was ripped muscle from neck down.

It took him a minute to recall thestory he’d cooked up. “Sorry to wake you, Mr. … uh…?” He studiedhis note pad, which was actually blank.

The guy finally used one hand togather his balls and dick in and cover them and Dillard’s headcleared. “I don’t seem to have your name on the list. You a newtenant?”

“Depends,” Jarrod said inthat same growly sleep laced voice.

Dillard fixed him with his mostintimidating frown. “On what?”

“Your definition ofnew.”

Dillard nodded and decided to launchinto the ‘tale’ that had brought him. “We’re canvassing the areafor statements from residents. We’ve had reports of someburglaries.” Which was true, except it wasn’t his case and theywere pretty sure they already had the perp in custody. “If I couldjust come in for a few minutes to talk?”

“No.”

Dillard gaped at him. “Excuseme?”

“I’m not dressed and mywoman is in my bed.”

Dillard felt his face redden. Itannoyed the hell
