Free One Tough Cop by Dahlia Rose

filled her and she cried out his name.
    “Oh damn, damn you feel so good,” he said harshly.
    There was no more teasing to enhance the buildup of pleasure. He pumped into her at a feverish pace that made her feel heat all across her skin and the sensations crashed over her in waves. Max pulled her up so she was on her knees while he was behind her and cupped her breasts while he fucked her.
    She’d never been taken like this, so primal and hot all at the same time. Nicole cried out his name and he echoed with hers. The pleasure he was creating built up to a point where she could no longer contain it and took her over the edge. She came hard and practically screamed. But it didn’t end there, the aching need continued, one after the other until it blended into a haze of ecstasy.
    “Honey, I’m going to come,” he groaned.
    “Let go, Max, oh I’ve never felt anything like this.” She felt his cock thicken and throb inside her.
    “Nicole!” With a loud, harsh cry, he grabbed her hips and pumped into her mercilessly.
    She felt his seed fill her with each thrust until nothing was left and they both slumped into the bed weakly after the storm of passion ended. Nicole was surprised at her own desire and everything he made her feel.
    “You’re so quiet, did I scare you? Aw hell, I hurt you didn’t I?” Max rolled to face her. “I’m sorry, honey I’m a beast and you should punch me and hell I’ll go sleep on the couch.”
    Nicole put her hand over his mouth to stem the flow of words. “Maxwell Kincaid I’m fine, I’m more than that, I feel amazing. I loved every minute of being with you. I felt cherished, sexy and beautiful.”
    “You are more than that to me, you’re my every fantasy and dream rolled into one,” Max said huskily. “This bed has been empty, waiting for you. You don’t understand how you changed my world that night I met you.”
    Nicole felt tears mist in her eyes and she gave him a watery smile. “I wasn’t looking my best, I was sweaty, in pain, scared, and my hair was all over the place.”
    Max shook head slowly. “I saw a woman who did what she had to do for her and her baby, I saw strength beneath all that fear. I saw someone that I fell in love with.”
    Nicole gasped. “Maxwell you do not have to say that!”
    He grinned. “You call me Maxwell when you’re surprised or mad. I mean it, Nicole, I love you and for me to say this is no joke. I’ve never been in love but when it hits it’s like a sucker punch to the chest, in a good way.”
    “I don’t know what to say,” Nicole stammered. “I wish I could say it back to you but I don’t know.”
    “Are you happy with me?” Max asked. “Do you want to be anywhere else right now?”
    “No, never. I know I’m meant to be here with you,” Nicole said with certainty.
    “That’s all I need right now,” he said firmly. “Just know that I love you, I love your son, and that’s not going to change.”
    Nicole pulled him close and wrapped her arms around his naked back. She was so stunned by his admission that her mind was reeling. Her tough cop was in love with her. She felt the thrill of joy shoot through her, but she couldn’t say I love you, not right now. She had to think because the last time she gave herself over in a relationship it was the wrong choice. Max wasn’t like Derek, she was sure of that, but still she had to be careful. Even though everything inside her was dancing in happiness.

Chapter Five
    When the news came that she needed to give her testimony to the grand jury, Nicole wasn’t surprised. But Max was furious. He saw her eyes, even though she said she was fine Nicole was scared. It bothered the hell out of him. The prosecuting ADA needed her to testify so they could up his indictment and ask for more time in jail when he was found guilty. Max looked at Derek’s record, and this was his third strike. He’d be going to prison for twenty plus years. A month of her staying at his apartment had just
