her pulsing clit. She hadn’t bothered with panties, maybe because she’d known this was inevitable. Hell, why was she even fighting it?
As she imagined what it would look like to have Alex crouched between her spread thighs, his face hovering over her pussy, she began stroking her clit. She didn’t even need to bother with her vibrator or any penetration. Just imagining what it would be like as Alex kissed her from head to foot, as he stroked his hands and mouth all over her body was enough to make her soaked for him.
Barely minutes later she was coming against her hand, not surprised by how fast her orgasm hit. It wasn’t nearly as intense as it would have been with Alex pumping inside her, but it took the edge off. Rolling to the side as her pleasure surged through her, she buried her face against one of her pillows and let out an uncontrollable groan. As she came down from her high, a soft knock against her door had her guiltily yanking her hand from her pants.
“Mina, everything okay?” Alex asked quietly.
“Fine.” Crap, why did her voice have to sound all high-pitched and guilty?
“I’m out here if you need me.” His deep voice rolled over her, making her nipples tighten even harder.
“Okay, thanks.” Though she wanted to tell him that she did need him in her room, she couldn’t find the words to ask him in. She’d seen the hunger in his eyes but he could still reject her. And waking up to him tomorrow if he did turn her down—no way she could deal with that. She was such a coward.
Instead of being brave, she grabbed her pillow and shoved it over her face so he wouldn’t hear her groan, this one a mix of frustration and self-disgust.
Chapter 6
Blue leaned against Mina’s countertop, watching the sausage in the frying pan sizzle as he talked into his cell phone. He’d already made a few phone calls this morning, trying to get them in before Mina woke up. “You sure you don’t mind?” he asked his friend Carter, the last call he should need to make until after he’d talked to Mina about his plans to keep her safe.
The other man just grunted. “Don’t even ask that… So is this Mina as hot as Zoe?”
Blue gritted his teeth at the question even though he knew his friend meant nothing offensive by it. Last week when he’d had to leave Zoe to help her brother and the Red Stone team out by watching Jordan during an op, he’d left Carter guarding Zoe. And the man hadn’t been able to stop talking about how hot she was ever since. “Mina’s off limits,” he growled.
There was a short pause. “So this is more than work?”
“It has nothing to do with work.”
“Oh. Shit. All right then. Yeah, just come by when you can and we’ll get you guys set up. One of us will scope out the place, see if anyone turns up. Just text me the address and I’ll head over in the next hour.” Chris was Carter’s brother and even though they worked well together the two men couldn’t be any more different. Carter was a player whereas Blue wondered if Chris even dated.
“Thanks, I owe you.” As he set his phone on the counter, he heard faint movement coming from the hallway.
A moment later Mina stepped into the kitchen, looking bleary-eyed, rumpled and good enough to eat. Her dark hair hung loosely around her shoulders and the green fitted T-shirt she wore let him know she wasn’t wearing a bra. As her nipples started to get hard, he forced his gaze from her breasts to her face and found her staring at his bare chest.
Instinctively he patted his flat stomach and inwardly smiled when her gaze darkened and raked over his chest and abs. “I took my shirt off to sleep but I can put it back on—”
“No,” she quickly cut him off then cleared her throat as if embarrassed. “I mean, do whatever makes you comfortable,” she muttered before ducking her head and heading for the full pot of coffee on the opposite counter.
He liked that he had an effect on her because she sure as hell had
