Free The Cop (Lost Love Series) (Erotic Romance) by Danielle Lewis Page A

to join him, and she had refused. He had known she loved their hometown, but he had thought she might love him more. Apparently not.
     
    As he got back into his car, he admitted to himself that he still wanted her. The whole time they were talking, it took every ounce of self-control he had to keep behaving as a professional. He put all of his effort into keeping his voice steady when he could not stop thinking about all the times they had driven down this road together. He was almost certain she had been remembering them too.
     
    Part of him wanted to climb into that car with her and drive down to their hidden spot in the woods once more. It was where they had had sex for the very first time, the very last time, and many of the times in between. He wanted to take her back there and remind her how well they had been together, and he wanted to show her what a mistake she had made by not coming with him.
     
    Of course, he didn’t do that. That would be irresponsible, and an abuse of his power as a police officer. Instead, he just wrote her a ticket and drove away.
     

Chapter 2
     
    That night, Liz found herself driving back to the old hiking trail off of Old River Road. She couldn’t stop thinking of the first-time Ben had made love to her out there in the middle of the woods.
     
    It was the day after her seventeenth birthday, and he was only a few months older. It was still early fall, and the air had the tiniest chill to it. For the past few months, they were parking there to drink beer stolen from her older sister and make out. Tonight was going to be different. She borrowed her dad’s truck, and thrown a few blankets in the back. More importantly, earlier that afternoon, she had driven to the drug store two counties over to buy condoms.
     
    Tonight she was finally ready to be with Ben.
     
    Lizzie knew that as soon as he saw the truck, Ben understood tonight would be different. When they parked in their secret spot in the woods, he was quiet. Gently, he held her face in his hands. He kissed her lightly on the lips before looking deeply into her eyes and asking,
    “Are you sure?” His concern for her made Lizzie loved him all the more. Any fears she simply melted away in his presence. She felt so safe in his arms.
     
    “Yes,” she said, smiling at him. “I’m ready.” They crawled into the bed of the truck, and he helped her lay out the blankets. It was the first time for both, but even though they were nervous, they were so very in love. Slowly, clumsily, they undressed each other.
     
    “I love you so much,” Lizzie whispered as she took off his belt.
     
    “I love you too, baby,” he murmured as he shimmied out of the jeans. In a moment, they were both completely naked. Ben held her in his arms and kissed her gently. She could feel every inch of him, pressed up against her. He was so strong. Tentatively, she reached down to try touching his penis. She had never seen or held one before and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. When she held him in her hand, he groaned.
     
    “Oh God, Lizzie – wait, we need my jeans; I have a condom in my pocket.”
     
    “It’s okay – I have one too,” she said, reaching around to pull the box out of her purse. “How did you know it was going to be tonight?”
     
    “I didn’t,” he admitted. “I’ve been carrying a condom in my wallet for weeks just in case.”
    “You are such a boy scout – always prepared,” she teased as she opened the box. She took one out and tore it open. “Do you want me to try to…?”
     
    “If you want to,” he said. “If you aren’t comfortable, I can do it.”
     
    “I think I’d like to try,” she decided. Carefully, she rolled on the condom. A shiver of excitement ran through her. It was finally happening! She and Ben were going to make love.
     
    He pulled her into his arms and kissed her once more, rolling them over so that her back lay against the bed of the truck. He reached between her legs and began
