Rough Justice by KyAnn Waters Read Free Book Online

When he returned, he was dressed. Seeing the baton looped through his belt made her pulse jump.
    “I’m not sure what to say,” he said.
    She stood and faced him. “Don’t say anything.” Ivan’s gaze roamed over her figure with a feral glint. She glanced down. Her robe gaped open, revealing her breast and one taut nipple. She took a hesitant step forward. “Just kiss me.” She dragged a finger down the button closure of his shirt. His rapid breaths caused his chest to rise and fall. Placing her hand over his heart, she felt the rampant beat matching her own. “Even if it has to be a kiss goodbye.”
     
    Ivan growled and pulled her close. Lips crushed lips. Hard. Demanding. Damn it. This wasn’t how the night was supposed to play out. His hands fisted in her raven hair and pulled, stretching her long neck. His teeth scraped her flesh. Roxie moaned and clutched his shoulders.
    Ivan breathed deep, the subtle scent of her fragrance blended with the muskiness of sex still clinging to her heated flesh. Skin he wanted for himself throughout the night. His cock jolted to life and his breath hitched. He didn’t want to leave, didn’t want to say goodbye, but he couldn’t go back into the bedroom with Jay.
    He groaned and plunged his hand into her robe, the silky fabric sliding against his rough knuckles. He cupped, lifted and kneaded her breast, her tender skin softer, smoother than the robe. A low moan rolled from her chest and he opened his mouth wider, took the kiss deeper, driving into her wet heat, curling his tongue around hers and sucking it into his mouth.
    She wrapped one leg around his calf, arching her mound into his erection and grinding against him. Ivan tore his mouth from hers. “If you want to finish this…” He flicked his tongue against her sweet full lips then briefly sealed their mouths again. “When it’s only you and me…” He rolled her pebbled nipple in his palm. His other hand cupped her buttocks and pulled her flush against him. “I’ll be here.” He released her and took a step back.
    A slight smile titled her lips. “Thanks for coming to my rescue, bringing me home…and for staying.”
    Ivan took his keys from his utility belt and jingled them. “Get some sleep.” He kissed her cheek, spun around and stalked to the front door.
    Great. Jay had parked behind his vehicle. “Will you wake up Sleeping Beauty and have him move his truck?”
    “I’ll do it. Let me get his keys.”
    Part of Ivan wanted to ticket Jay for parking behind his car, but the real violation was the jerk parking his ass in Roxie’s bed. But there wasn’t anything he could do about it, except maybe lock Jay’s ass up in the county jail. Plenty of men there wouldn’t mind sharing a bed with the baseball player.

    The sound of running water woke Roxie. Sunshine streamed through the bedroom window. She stretched her arms over her head and flinched at the delicious ache between her legs and in her limbs. Then memories of last night came crashing over her.
    Jay, Ivan, the incredible sex and the disappointing end.
    Jay broke into song while he showered and Roxie chuckled. She swiveled her legs over the side of the bed and went into the bathroom.
    “Good morning.”
    He opened the glass shower door. “Do you want to join me?” He wagged his brows.
    “Ha ha. No. I’ll shower after you. Then will you take me to get my car?”
    “Sure. So where’s the fuzz?”
    Roxie faced the mirror and ran a brush through her tangled hair. “He went home last night. Jay, we need to chat about what happened.”
    “I had a good time. It was fun.”
    Yeah, it was for her and Jay—but not for Ivan. Maybe because he was a little older or because he held a position of authority within the community, but last night wasn’t his scene. Regardless how much she wished he’d enjoyed himself enough to get together again, that simply wasn’t going to happen.
    Jay turned off the shower and Roxie handed him a towel.
