High-Sided (Armed & Dangerous #3)

He scoffed and kick-started his bike. “Maybe her sister will too. Be ready at noon tomorrow.”


He took off down the trail and I ran back to my cabin to take a shower and call Richard. I’d have to leave training a little early tomorrow; it was Kassie’s birthday. As much as I wanted to tell her what was going on, I couldn’t. I needed to make sure her day was perfect. I had so many birthdays to make up for.





“Dinner was amazing,” Kassie gushed, finishing off her steak.

All through the meal, I couldn’t help but stare at her. She was so beautiful. Her dark hair was curled and her skin was tanner than what it’d been a couple weeks ago. If we weren’t stuck in Franklin trying to solve a case, I would’ve taken her to Wyoming to meet Hadley and Blake. That would’ve been the best birthday present – to meet her favorite country singer.

Instead of going out, I grilled us some steaks and baked sweet potatoes with steamed broccoli. Taking her empty plate, I set it in the sink. “That’s not all.” I grabbed our dessert out of the refrigerator and placed it in front of her—a piece of chocolate cake from Café REL.

Her eyes lit up. “I think I’m in heaven.” I handed her a fork and we devoured it. “Any word from Gary on Janie’s car?”

“You want to talk about this on your birthday?” I asked.

She nodded. “I have to know.”

Once she grabbed up the last bite of cake, I took the plate. “All they could find was a rusty brake line. They’re calling it an accident.”

“Do you believe it was?”

I shrugged. “There are no signs of tampering with the line. It could’ve seriously been an accident. I just don’t see how it got rusted like that.”

“Neither do I,” she said, thrusting the fork full of cake into her mouth.

There was a piece of chocolate icing on her lips and I smiled, eager to lick it off. When she didn’t bother to wipe her mouth, I leaned forward and sucked her lip, her moan music to my ears. I kissed her slowly at first, then deepened it, loving the way she dug her nails in my back.

“Are you trying to distract me?” she murmured.

I nibbled her lip. “Is it working?”

“Maybe.”

“Good,” I said, taking her hands. “I don’t want you spending your birthday worrying about what’s going on around here. It’s your special day.”

Her grin widened. “Does that mean I get special presents?”

I helped her up and scooped her into my arms. “Maybe. You’ll just have to come to my room to receive them.”

She wrapped her arms around my neck, her lips at my ear. “Take me there. I owe you a little something for getting me my cake.” She licked my earlobe and sucked it between her teeth.

I carried her to my room, my cock straining against my jeans. When I set her down, she nodded toward the bed, biting her lip provocatively. “I’m beginning to think it’s my birthday.” I laughed.

Entwining my hands behind my neck, I laid back on my pillows and watched her slowly take off her shirt and skirt, letting them fall to the floor. I wanted to feel every inch of her, inside and out; to see her back arch, pushing her breasts higher as I fucked her with my fingers. I’d never felt another woman’s body as perfect as hers.

Climbing onto the bed, she straddled me, wearing only a pair of pink, lacy thongs that matched her light pink bra. I fingered the pink strap and smiled. “I think I like this. Please tell me you have it in other colors.”

With a smirk, she slowly slid her hand down my stomach and unbuttoned my jeans. I kicked them off and slid out of my T-shirt as well. My cock was so hard, it fucking hurt. She reached into my boxers, wrapping her hand around me; I thought I’d go insane. “You’ll just have to find out,” she uttered breathlessly.

“Gladly.”

Licking her lips, I knew what she was planning to do the moment she slid my boxers down my legs, and oh God, how much I wanted to feel her mouth on me, sucking me as hard as she could. But today was all about her.

She shrieked as I flipped us over and basically ripped off her underwear and unclasped her bra, taking it off as fast as I could. I bent down to suck on her perfectly taut nipples, one after the other, the tips getting larger the more I teased them. Moaning, Kassie spread her legs wide and pushed her hips up against mine. I intentionally kept my cock as far back as possible so I could tease her.

“Please,” she begged, trying to move down in search of the friction she desired. When I pressed my weight into her and bit her bottom lip, she opened her closed eyes and gasped.

“Uh-uh, not yet,” I murmured. I trailed my tongue down her stomach, stopping between her legs. Right there in the middle was the sweetest taste of all, the one thing I craved. So wet and swollen.

I groaned in anticipation because I knew the first taste would be the best. Sealing my lips around her clit, I felt her body tighten. She moved her hips against my face as I moved down a little further and fucked her with my tongue, burrowing as deep as I could.
