EXCERPT

They stole short brief kisses. He stopped, lifted her chin, gazed into her eyes, and then planted soft kisses again against her beautiful lips.

‘Hey,’ he withdrew.

‘Hi.’ She pulled back her lips shyly.

He leaned forward and took her fully into his mouth. She weakened and allowed him to rescue her from the pain she felt. Victor felt a warmth he’d never felt in his life. There was something about her that made him want to do better each time. He wanted to impress her, he wanted to make her happy and he wanted to love her.

She withdrew, smiled, took his hand and led him upstairs. He followed quietly. They stepped into her bedroom, their eyes locked. She looked up at him admiringly and couldn’t help, but smile. She ran a finger down the side of his face gently. Victor waited, he allowed her to do as she pleased, which was rare for him.

‘You okay?’ he asked.

‘Yes, I’m fine now that you’re here.’ She put her hands to his shoulders and pulled away the jacket. It fell to the floor. She unbuttoned the light blue shirt and revealed his delicious chest. She ran her hands over him, and he let out a deep moan. Slowly she kissed his neck and travelled down his bare chest. He was taken away by her heated breath, and soft lips. She made her way down his gorgeous body until she reached his waist.

London looked up at him as she undid the belt to the trousers. They fell to the floor. She smiled mischievously, wiggled her hands into his boxers, and brought out his erection. London was bold, she let go of all that was worrying her, and took hold of his length. She flicked her tongue up and down it, and did all manner of tricks, that she didn’t realise were up her sleeve.

‘SHIT!’ He let out.

She kept at it, and enjoyed the sound of his lust. But Victor couldn’t hold out for much longer. She was an attractive woman, and the things he wanted to do to her in that moment brought out the predator in him. He lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bed. His hands rushed towards her jeans and tried to pull them down.

‘It might be helpful if you undo the button and pull down the zip,’ she giggled lightly.

‘You make me so crazy, I can’t think straight.’ He fiddled with the jeans and finally managed to pull them off her.  

He ran his hands between her legs and pulled down her panties. He was over her in minutes, planting himself desperately into her. They took and gave to each other, it was what they both wanted.

‘Shit!’ he let out again. ‘You!’ He breathed, fell into her and took her lips. He kissed her as if his life depended on her breath.

Wrapped up in their love, there were no thoughts of anything. London let out moans of pleasure as did he, and finally they let go and allowed all to just be. He dropped onto her, breathing heavily. She rubbed his back gently. He lifted and kissed her.

‘I love you.’ It slipped from his mouth without thought.

Her eyes widened.

‘Too soon?’  He’d never felt this way so quickly.

‘No, just…’ she smiled. ‘True, because I think I love you too.’

‘You think?’ he teased.

‘Yes, I think.’ She giggled.

They lay in each others arms and fell a sleep for a short while.

‘What’s the step forward?’ she asked the moment her eyes opened, and the reality of the situation hit her full force.

He sat up to look at her.

‘Well.’ He thought about Nadine and the plans he’d made with her. ‘I think you need to invite the detective over.’

‘Why?’

‘We will need his help, but he won’t speak to me. He’ll think I want to bribe him.’

‘How’s he going to help us?’

‘If we don’t involve him, that child that’s gone missing, might never be found. I guess it’s time I do more good.’

She smiled.

‘I want to help, but with my record, he will not trust me, but he’ll trust you. But he must also follow my plan, or else it won’t work.’

‘Why’s that?’

‘If we tell the police what we already know, they might blow everything. I can guarantee there are ears in the force, if someone catches wind of our plans, news will travel so fast, all the paperwork and evidence we need to find Paige will disappear.’

London didn’t like the sound of that. Fear flooded her so fast, but he was quick to soothe her and told her not to worry. He was only stating what might happen, not what would happen.

‘So when should I get a hold of the detective?’

‘Now,’ he said as he shifted off the bed. ‘I’ll go and have a shower. You convince the detective to get here as soon as possible, and then we can spend the rest of the day together.’ He winked.
