Free Seduction's Dance (McKingley Series) by Aliyah Burke, McKenna Jeffries Page B

not like your family is in obscurity here in McKingley.”
    “I’m her brother.”
    “And the oldest. James and I are close, but he can be an overprotective bear when he thinks he knows better than I do. She’s the baby of your family. I remember the incident with your cousin Justin. And I saw the result. Noticed how often Leo was swinging by to check on her, how often he called to make sure she was okay. Hell, even how he tried to tell her she should take some time off work and recover. I felt smothered and it wasn’t even for me.”
    He fell silent and she wondered if she had overstepped. Dimitri sighed heavily and tightened his hold on her, his hands stroking up and down her back.
    “Point taken, Deputy Conner.”
    “You know she loves you, but cut her some slack. Archer seems like a perfectly nice guy. And we both know every single one of you Wright brothers had him checked out even though he grew up in this town with you.”
    His chest moved with his chuckle. “You have us figured out that well, do you?”
    “Doesn’t take much to figure out what brothers would do. You love your sister.”
    “You’re pretty smart,” he whispered into her hair.
    “I have my moments.”
    “All the time.”
    She snuggled closer.
    “What do you want to do tonight?”
    Closing her eyes, she asked, “Do we have to do anything other than what we are right now?”
    “Not at all,” he rumbled. “We can stay in bed all night. I just thought you might want a bite to eat.”
    “Maybe later. I’m too content to move right now.” It was true. Her bones and muscles felt like they had melted, leaving her just a limp pile upon the impressive man beneath her.
    “Sounds good to me. Tell me something, now, Shannon.”
    “Hmm.” She was close to falling asleep all over again.
    “Has the thing with Mario been taken care of?”
    There went her relaxed state. “You need to let that go. I can handle it.”
    “You’re my girl. I’m not going to let it go.”
    “Listen to me,” she said as she got off him and sat up, dragging the sheet over her chest. “I’ll tell you like I told Leo. I can handle this. If, and I mean if I need any help on it, then I will ask. Until then, this is between the two of us. Myself and Mario. Not you. Not your brother. Not James. Myself and Mario.”
    He sat up as well and she bit back her groan at seeing his totally naked state. Dimitri didn’t even bother hiding his thick cock and she had to tear her gaze from where it lay semi-hard against his thigh.
    “A man like that is dangerous.”
    She ground her teeth and prayed for strength. “I know that, Dimitri. I’m not an idiot. I’m a cop. I also know how to handle a man like him. However, your and Leo’s interference makes it harder. Trust me to know what I’m doing.”
    She held his gaze and watched the indecisiveness flash through it. His phone rang and their connection was lost as he strode over to his pants and pulled it out.
    “Yeah?” he snapped.
    The moment he watched her again, she licked her lips and lowered the sheet giving him a tantalizing peek at her breasts. Dragging her finger between them, she bit her lower lip. His cock hardened and rose from his leg.
    “What, Leo? Uh, let me see if we can come for dinner.”
    She ripped the sheet to the side and continued with her finger, down her belly and between her legs to dip into her wet pussy.
    His eyes flared with heat. “Nope. Sorry, Shannon and I can’t join you and Deyon tonight. We’re busy.”
    Dimitri tossed his phone down on the chair and was on her in a flash, pressing her back into the mattress.
    She laughed for the sheer joy of being with this man. “Are you sure you don’t want to go there for dinner?”
    “I’m positive,” he stated.
    He rolled them over so she was on top. She reached for the pile of condoms on her bedside table, ripped one open then sheathed his turgid length. She rose up over him and sank down, taking him completely inside her with one
