CHAPTER FIVE
LETTY
The safe house didn’t look like the safe houses people see in movies. It was a modest inland rental tucked beneath live oaks. Spanish moss covered the courtyard like something out of a postcard. The gravel drive popped under the tires as the SUV rolled up the long path.
Wyatt parked their ride in the garage and closed the door.
“This is it?”
“Yes,” he answered.
She walked behind him, pivoting her head to scan the garage as he opened the door. “Who owns it?”
“LLC,” he said. “Layered. It’s not searchable from public records.”
She cocked her head. “Nice.”
The air in the house was heavier and smelled like pine, instead of salt. Wyatt moved with purpose, setting the alarm and checking the first floor. He pointed. “These cameras are motion-triggered infrared. The feeds go to Salt he’s taking care of it.” Letty studied him. “Do you think you’ll ever go back to Flagstaff?”
“No.” His jaw flexed. “The closest I get to Arizona is watching the Arizona Wildcats play on TV.”
Letty’s forehead wrinkled. “Isn’t the University of Arizona in Tucson?”
“It is. That was where I would have gone if I had gone to college.” He took a beat. “So, I follow them in sports.”
“Oh.” Letty smiled. “Basketball or football?”
He chuckled. “Basketball all the way. I was watching them when I got the fire call.” He raised his hand from hers to her arm and stroked. “Your sisters are lucky.”
She shook her head. “I’m the lucky one.”
His thumb found the pulse in her wrist. “You’re not alone in this.”
She leaned closer without realizing it. “You’re not either.”
The house settled into a silence that seemed like it was waiting for something to happen, the kind of quiet that made every movement and breath feel louder. He hadn’t pulled away. She eased into a smile. “You look at me like I’m about to bolt,” she whispered.
His thumb rubbed against her skin. “I’m trying not to.”
Her pulse stuttered. “Why?”
“Because if I move, I’m not sure I’ll stop.”
His honesty hit low in her core. She could feel the shift. “You don’t decide that alone.”
His jaw tightened. “Doc…”
“Don’t.” She leaned forward. Their knees brushed as his breath changed. “You’ve been holding back.”
“Yes.” Wyatt grumbled.
“Why?”
He brushed his hand down her cheek and rested under her chin. “Because this is a mess, and you’re in danger.”
She arched her eyebrow. “So are you.”
His eyes darkened, shifting his weight ever so closer to her. “That’s not the same.”
She moved and took up the last space between them. “Wyatt.”
He brushed his finger over her mouth. That was all she needed to gasp.
Letty knew before he moved that his restraint was gone.
His mouth found hers with heat that had been waiting for hours.
This wasn’t the brush of his lips like before.
This was intentional. Her breath caught as he pulled her onto his lap, one hand sliding around her waist and the other bracing at the back of her neck.
She answered him with no hesitation. Her fingers slipped beneath the hem of his shirt, touching skin, warm and real.
He made a low sound against her mouth. “Letty…”
“Yes.”
That single word changed everything as his forehead pressed to hers. “Last chance,” he murmured. “We stop now.”
She claimed his mouth for an answer. The kiss deepened, slower, more deliberate, as heat built instead of exploding. His hands slid lower, hers climbed higher up his torso. The couch shifted beneath them as their position changed.
He broke the kiss, just long enough to ask. “You sure?”
“Yes.”
He stood, picking her up with him as the electricity sizzled in the air. He took her to the primary bedroom as her fingers threaded into his hair. The silver dollar hit the floor somewhere behind him with a soft metallic sound.
“Coin…” She mumbled.
He nudged the door open with his foot, keeping his hands on her as they moved inside the room. He stopped to open his mouth, and she ignored it while yanking his shirt over his head. “No more talking.”
Wyatt growled as he unbuttoned his pants. “Get naked.”
She giggled. “You don’t have to tell me twice.” She pulled off her long-sleeved shirt and dropped her pants with her panties as he stared. She pointed to his pants. “Do I need to help you?”
The sly smile that rose on his lips said it all as he removed his shoes and pulled off his slacks. He smiled as his eyes moved down and back up her body. “You’re beautiful.”
Letty blushed. “Thanks.” She kissed him quickly as she brushed her hand down the outline of his cock in his briefs. “I’ve got condoms in my bag.”
His full smile caught her off-guard. “I love when a woman is decisive.”
She reached into the end pocket of her bag and grabbed a condom, pressing it into his hand. “Get to it.”
Wyatt shoved her gently onto the bed as he lay down. “Just so we’re clear. I’m in charge.”
She snickered as he feathered his fingers across her breast, causing goosebumps to pop up on her skin.
His mouth sucked at the pulse point on her neck.
He feathered kisses along her collarbone and then down her chest. Her nipple hardened as he took it into his mouth and laved his tongue across it.
Letty moaned. Her core warmed as her hands wrapped around his neck. “Oh, God.”
Wyatt chuckled, sending vibration along his lips. He moved his fingers to squeeze her other nipple as she gasped. “Oh, yes.”
He raised his head and gave her a quick kiss. “I should take my time, but I just can’t.”
Letty nodded. “Next time.”
“Damn straight.” He pulled her under him as he settled above her, moving quickly to kneel between her thighs. His hands stroked up her thighs and settled next to her sex as his thumb rubbed across her clit.
Letty inhaled hard, moaning as his thumb massaged her. “That feels…”
Wyatt put on the condom and placed both hands on her thighs. He pushed her knees up as he groaned when his cock found her warmth. “Mmm, you’re so wet for me.”
“Ooooh, you feel good.” He leaned down to kiss her as time stopped, her head spinning with each swirl of his tongue. Her lips throbbed where he sucked on them. He pressed his thumb harder on her clit as she shifted wanting more.
Wyatt growled as he moved back, settling on his knees.
A shiver started in the base of her spine and traveled to her fingers and toes as his cock slipped between her lips.
“God, that feels so good.” Her quick intake of air made him smile as he pushed her knees farther to her chest. The rhythm he set rocketed her pleasure as her toes curled.
Her orgasm was just out of reach as she met his every thrust. Lights exploded in her brain as the climax catapulted her through the air.
He chuckled. “Now, my turn.”
Letty smiled, slipping her hand around his hip. “You should hurry before we get interrupted.”
He stilled for a brief second before he laughed. Pulling on her hip to seat himself back deeper into her warmth, Letty’s face softened. “What do you need?”
“Nothing, you feel so good.” He picked up the pace and leaned back down on top of her, using his hand to pull toward him as he rocked inside. She moaned as he changed his tempo, kissing her as he continued to thrust.
“Oh, yeah.” Wyatt leaned back to smile, thrusting.
Hitting her G-spot as she bit her lip, Letty’s body tingled. Just a little more and I’ll come again. His forehead glistened in the light as his body tensed. Letty felt the explosion build in her body. “Oh, Wyatt, I’m going to come…”
He changed the angle, eliciting a gasp, and as she heard him cry out with his release, she detonated. They both shook through their orgasms until he collapsed beside her on the bed. He rested for a moment before he was on his feet and strolling his magnificent ass to the bathroom.
A moment later he returned with a warm washcloth to clean her before he tossed it into the nearby hamper. Stopping at the bed, he stared down. “I’ll just sleep here?”
Letty nodded as he moved her over to snuggle behind her.
