Matters of the Heart (11 page)

“You’re my
first and that’s the truth. And you’re going to be my last.”

He took off
his coat, set it ever the top of the seat and then turned to Lucy and put his
hand on her cheek and kissed her.

She let him
ease her back on the seat as he opened the buttons on her coat and soon he was
caressing her breast through the material on her dress. It felt so wonderful
and made her nipples harden and ache for more. He moved his hand down over her
belly before pushing it up under her skirt.

“The dreaded
pantyhose,” he whispered. He tugged on the waistband and Lucy lifted her butt
so he could pull them off her and when he did, her panties joined them.

“Guess that
gets them out of my way too,” said Brad, pulling them off her feet. “Now where
was I?”

He lifted up
her dress and inched his fingers up her thighs until he reached her curls.

Brad kissed
her as he found her clit and circled it with his pinkie.

She was
already on fire down there and as he pressed harder onto the nub she guessed that
her lower body was about to burst into flames. She tilted her head back,
allowing Brad to kiss her as she brought her closer and closer to climaxing.

Despite the
cold nip in the air, she felt heat radiating from him, intensifying the woodsy
smell of his aftershave. He kissed her and she pulled him close as he pressed
harder on her clit, making her see shooting stars and then, she shook in his
arms when she came.

They pulled
away and suddenly the moon shone brighter allowing them to see more of one another’s
faces.
 
They didn’t say another as Brad
let his finger slid from her clit and teased her pussy entrance.

“I want to
see that pretty face of yours as you come,” he whispered.

He glided his
finger inside her channel, making her mumble and then groan as he finger fucked
her. She played with the top of his shirt collar as he drove deeper and harder,
until she had no choice but to let go and give in. She cried out as another
orgasm washed over her.

“I want you
inside me right now,” she said, pulling at his fly.

“Nothing I
want more.”

She lay back
on the seat as Brad took off his pants and underwear and sheathed himself.

Lucy giggled
as he lifted one of her legs up so it was resting on the back of the seat.

“And what’s
so funny.”

“This,
us.”

“It’s sexy
and romantic.”

“Yeah, it
is.”

She wrapped
her other leg around him as he pushed his cock inside her.

There wasn’t
much room but in a way that was a good thing because it brought his body closer
to hers, setting up more friction as he thrust inside her.

She lifted
her butt off the seat so she could match each of his movements. Lucy felt
herself slipping a little so pressed her foot against the window causing Brad
to tip deeper inside her. He kissed her neck as she heard him groaning.

Wrapping her
other leg around his butt she was sure the moon was getting brighter and that
stars were twinkling directly above them.

This time her
orgasm took her by complete surprise. She lifted her butt as it washed over her
and felt like she was spinning around in somewhere warm while Brad held her.

She kissed
him, not sure if it was her own heartbeat she heard or his. He panted and
whispered her name as he found release. They stayed locked together.

“I guess this
is the right time to tell you that I think I’m falling in love,” he said.

“With
me?”

“Yes,
of course you.”

He was about
to kiss her again when someone tapped on the driver’s side window.

“Shit,’ said
Brad. He pulled out of Lucy, covered himself with his jacket and leaned over to
open the window.

“Sir, this is
a public place and we don’t allow…Oh, it’s you Sheriff Ryan. I wouldn’t have…I
mean.”

Lucy could
see that it was a uniformed officer standing outside with a flashlight.

Brad coughed.
“That’s fine you were just doing your job.”

“Yes, sir,
and I’ll leave you to get back to…I mean whatever it was you were doing. Have a
wonderful rest of the evening.”

“You
too.”

Brad pushed
the button to close the window and then they both burst out laughing.

He got into
the back seat with Lucy and put his arm around her.
 
“You see what a bad boy you’ve turned me
into.”

“Yeah, like
you weren’t naughty before you met me.”

“I thought
about telling him I’d apprehended a suspect and I was searching you.”

“Sheriff, you
can search me any time you like.”

“Well in that
case how about we head home and I can do just that. Let’s relieve Sadie of her
duties and I can make love to you all night long.”

“That’s weird
because the TV’s on, but no Sadie,” said Brad putting his keys in the dish by
the CD player.

“Maybe she’s
upstairs with Presley. I’ll go and check.”

Lucy walked
up to Presley’s room but the crib was empty and Sadie was nowhere to be
seen.
 
She went back downstairs.

“Nope,
neither of them is up there. You don’t think
anything’s wrong
do
you?”

“She had both
our cell phone numbers and she would have phoned if something was wrong.”

Lucy suddenly
felt uneasy but she didn’t know why.

“I’ll go
check in the basement. Maybe the furnace went out and she’s down there checking
it,” said Brad.

Lucy knew it
was stupid but she even checked the pantry and closet by the front door.

Brad came
back up from the basement.
“Nope.
Maybe we should
check with the hospital just in case.”

He’d only
just dialed the first two numbers when Sadie walked down the stairs.

“Where were
you?” asked Lucy.

“Up
in the attic.
I thought I heard something chewing up there when I put
Presley in her crib and I didn’t want it disturbing her,” said Sadie.

“You had us
worried,” said Brad.

“Sorry, I
would have called down to you but I didn’t hear you come in. I hope you both
had a nice evening.”

Lucy looked
at Brad and he winked at her.
 
“Great
play, so thanks for the tickets,” he said.

“Presley’s
been a wonderful baby and I’d be happy to babysit any time you two want to go
out someplace. I guess I’ll be on my way. Oh and I’ve placed a small silver
token in Presley’s room. It’s a little gift from me.”

“That’s sweet
of you but you shouldn’t have,” said Brad.

Sadie grabbed
her coat and put it on. They walked her to the door and waited on the doorstep
until her car was out of sight.

Brad put his
arm around Lucy.

“Definitely a
strange lady but I like her. And if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have a nanny
who’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever met.”

****

Sadie turned
on the radio as she headed out of Pine Ridge. That had been a close call at the
Ryan residence. She’d lost track of time over on the other side in the Witches’
Realm.
 
She’d been able to put a safety
spell on a token for Presley and had placed it in her room. She felt more at
ease but two other witches had also felt that someone was about to take
Presley.

Brad lay
looking up at the ceiling as Lucy made a trail down his belly with the edge of
her fingertip. Shit, she could be a tease when she wanted to be. He glanced
down.

“You promised
me you’d keep your eyes shut,” she said looking up at him.

Damn, he’d
been caught cheating.

“Okay, but
then you’ve got to do the same when I do erotic things to you.”

He closed his
eyes and felt her hand going around his dick.

Presley
better be the best behaved baby in the world tonight because he didn’t want
anything to interrupt Lucy right now. She eased her hand up and down his shaft,
making his skin prickle.

She ran her
fingers over his balls that made him groan. He loved that she paid special
attention to those babies. He put his arm behind his head and rested back on
the pillow. She tickled the underside of the tip of his dick and it took every
piece of willpower inside him to keep it under control.

He broke his
promise when he looked down at her. Her naked body, her breasts dangling over
him, their nipples pink and hard, and he wanted her so badly.

“Lucy.”

“Yes.”

“I’m not
going to last much longer. I thought I could. With other women I’ve been able
to, but you’re different.”

“I hope
that’s a compliment.”

“It is honey,
it is.”

He got up and
pulled her on top of him, massaging the cheeks of her butt as they kissed.
 

“You have
magical hands that send me over the edge and right now I want to be inside
you.”

He flipped
her over onto her back and pushed the hair away from her face. He kissed her
again as he caressed her breast and let its weight balance in his palm. Brad
circled her navel before dipping lower past her curls and then teasing her
pussy entrance.

She stroked
the side of his face right before he sheathed himself and slowly glided inside
her channel.

Lucy held his
biceps as he thrust into her. She was wet, hot, and so very tight that each
time he’d made love to her he’d had to pace himself so as not to come before
she’d climaxed.

Tonight
wasn’t any easier. In fact, the more times he had sex with her the harder it
actually got. She shifted her butt, wrapped her legs around his backside,
causing him to slide deeper as he heard a little whimper escape from her lips.

Her pussy
grabbed him, squeezed him like it would never let him go. It turned him on,
almost made him want to come but he managed to stay the course until she cried
out his name, squeezed his arms some more, and then he found release. The best
release of his life. He leaned against her, stayed inside her and tried to take
his weight so he didn’t crush her.

They rubbed
noses and he thought how lucky he was. The phone rang just as he was about to
kiss her.

“Shit. I
guess that’s what happens when you’re the sheriff.”

He pulled
out, rolled across her body and picked up the phone.

“Hi
Sheriff Ryan.”

“Hi Brad,
it’s
Mike. There’s been another domestic disturbance at the
Palmers’ house.”

Lucy made
circles on his back and butt, making it almost impossible to concentrate on
what his deputy was telling him.

He stood up
and she slapped his butt almost making him burst out laughing.

“He been
beating her again?” asked Ryan.

“Not this
time. She took the skillet to him. He’s hurt pretty bad, called 911 but she
won’t let anyone in the house to check him out.”

“Okay, I’ll
be right there.”

He put the
phone down.

“Duty calls
and I have to deal with a lady with a skillet.”

“You’re
kidding?”

“Nope, it’s
true.”

“Just be
careful then.”

She slid off
the bed, stood, put her arms around his neck and kissed him. He couldn’t help
himself; he playfully slapped her backside this time.

“Hey, I
kinda
like that,” she said.

“Oh yeah,
maybe you can have some more when I get back. Are going to be okay on your
own?”

“I’m a big
girl.”

He pulled on
his boxers. “Behave yourself and keep the bed warm for me.”

Chapter Nine

Lucy couldn’t
believe how lucky she was. Finding Brad like she had. Well, she had to thank
Sadie for that. The lady certainly worked magic. Maybe that’s why she was
running a matchmaking service. And she’d given Presley the cutest token coin
with what looked like an emerald in its center. Lucy lifted it up and the sun
hit it as Presley watched as the colors dance around.

“How are my
two favorite girls?”

She hadn’t
heard Brad enter the room. He hadn’t gotten back from the call out until the
early hours of the morning and had fallen straight to sleep. He’d been still in
the land of slumber when Lucy had gotten out of bed an hour ago.

He put his
arms around her waist and pulled her to him before planting a kiss on the side
of her neck.
