Free A Witch and Her Man (Jeff and Gail) by G.E. Stills

proceeding."
     
    She gave up trying to get any further information from him. The set of his jaw when she tried to broach the subject showed he would not talk about it. She was certain trying to coax information from him would be fruitless.
     
    "So, to what do I attribute this nocturnal visit of yours?" she teased.
     
    "I missed the little witch I'm seeing."
     
    Butterflies.
     
    "When's Greta coming back?"
     
    "She won't be back until tomorrow afternoon, in time to take you to work."
     
    Gail stood up, took his hand and led to the bedroom. "Then I think it's high time we get started with a proper greeting."
     
    He held her arms stretched above her head and pinned her to the bed with one of his legs draped across her. Shivers ran the length of her spine as his lips brushed down each of her arms. He kissed her for too short a time before moving on. The buds that tipped each of her breasts were already tight. When he finished nibbling and laving them, they were so taut she was sure they would burst.
     
    "Jeff, I…" She squelched the words. I love you. She determined she would not say them even though she knew they were true. There had been far too much hurt and disappointment in her past. "You're so wonderful. You make me feel so wanted."
     
    "You are wanted. I want you every day and every night."
     
    His masculine scent tickled across her nose and she inhaled deeply, relishing his aroma. He moved down and brushed his lips across her stomach, causing her heart to race even faster. When his mouth descended on her clitoris, she sucked in her breath. She squirmed uncontrollably beneath him as he worshipped her body with his lips and tongue. The heat inside her burned so hot, she was certain she would start glowing any second. His tongue traced between her folds and she was going insane with need.
     
    "Come up here. Let me taste those magical lips of yours." She cupped her hands to the sides of his head and guided him upward to her mouth.
     
    She grasped his cock and positioned it to her entrance while their tongues twisted and jousted with each other. A muffled moan tumbled from her lips when he slid into her.
     
    "You're so incredibly gorgeous. So fantastically beautiful," he whispered.
     
    Butterflies.
     
    She laughed giddily. "So you keep saying. Please don't stop. I love to hear the words."
     
    After making love several times, exhaustion overcame them and they fell asleep in each other's arms. When she awoke, it was light outside and Jeff was gone. She groaned in disappointment until she heard the coffee pot perking. Crawling from bed, she found him in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup. Without even turning, he took another cup from the cupboard and poured another one. Even though barefoot and silent, he had heard her.
     
    Greta arrived later and Jeff stood at the door, ready to leave.
     
    "So, when can I expect another nocturnal visit?"
     
    "It'll probably be a couple days. I'll call, though."
     
    She was certain the disappointment showed on her face. Standing on tiptoes, she gave him a kiss. "Take care of yourself, handsome. You know where I live."
     
    "Yep. I know where. Bye, beautiful. See you later."

    Jeff contacted a friend at the FBI and got copies of the ballistic reports on the bullets that had killed Shorty and Justine. He then contacted another friend for analysis of the reports. At the same time, he took the scrapings he had removed from beneath two of Justine's fingernails and took them to another lab. Just as he suspected, the same gun had been used to kill both Shorty and Justine.
     
    The DNA test results of the scrapings identified Justine's assailant and Jeff's friend faxed him a picture of the man, a hood with a long history of brushes with the law. He took the picture and address then set out to locate Al. He found the house easily, secreted himself away and waited.
     
    Al arrived home just after dark and let himself in. Jeff continued to wait until close to midnight. He
