Sandy
smiled at him, tucked her shirt in, let
her hair down, went over to the reception, and straight away took over. “Don’t
worry about that. I can call them if you want. I don’t mind if you need me to
stay here. I can help. I don’t have anything else to do now.”

Zack let all the tension that’d started to mount out and
pulled
Sandy
back to him. “I’m the luckiest
guy in the world to have you.” Leaning down, he captured her mouth and tangled
his tongue with hers until they broke apart panting. “I love you, Sandy. I have
a surprise I want to show you later.”

Sandy
squeezed him tight. “I love you too, and I
can’t wait to see my surprise.”
Sandy
pushed him away. “Now go work. I have things to do.”

 
“You have a job here
for as long as you want it,” he said as he walked by with the client.

Sandy
nodded and waved him away as she talked to the
waiting clients and answered the phone.

 
Zack tattooed for
free the two guys that had waited while he sorted out the drama with
Sandy
and found out his
cousin had been murdered. He needed to keep his mind off what had happened.
Concentrating on his work, he hoped Jake and his brother Brock would be okay.
He wouldn’t want to be them at the moment.

They arrived home at six-
ish
,
earlier than Zack thought they would be home thanks to
Sandy
’s help.

On the drive home, they’d bought takeout food and got some
DVDs. They now sat watching a girly movie. Well, she watched the movie, and
Zack watched
Sandy
.
Her fingers were drawing circles on his stomach and playing with his snail
trail.

“You said you had a surprise for me. Are you going to show
me? I have waited patiently.”

Zack chuckled. “Yeah, I’ll show you, but only if these
clothes are gone.”

He watched as she stood and slowly undid her blouse, kicked
off her shoes, and slid the skirt down.

The tease made his already erect penis hard as steel. He
snarled, got up, and pulled her to him. “You little tease. If you keep it up,
I’ll take you right now.”

Sandy
’s eyes lit up and she nodded. “Take me then.”

After picking her up, he jogged to the bedroom. Zack threw
her on the bed and watched her bounce. “Now it’s my turn.”

Her eyes widened and she sat up. He slipped out of his
pants and shoes, and she moaned.

“Mm, you’ve been commando all day. I could have jumped you
at the shop.”
Sandy
came forward on the bed to wrap her arms around his neck. “Let me do your
shirt.”

He grinned down at her and nodded.
Sandy
slid her hands up under his shirt
before slowly lifting it off. He reached up to help her, and she chucked his
shirt on the floor. She trailed kisses up his chest, paused halfway down, and
fell back on the bed looking up at him.

“When did you do that?”

“You don’t like it? I did it this morning. Reggie helped.”

Sandy
sat up and trailed her finger over the firebird
with her name on the ribbon in its mouth. “This is permanent.” She closed her
eyes and then opened them as tears slid down her checks. She traced the
writing.
“Always
Sandy
’s.”

He pulled her up and cupped her face. “I love you, will
love you always.”

Sandy
’s arms circled around his neck and her legs
came around his waist. “I was worried. You didn’t say anything when I said it
yesterday. I thought you were angry with me for how I spoke to your mother.”

“How could you not know I love you? In the short time I’ve
known you, Sandy, you have accepted my profession, come and seen my shop, and
stuck up for me against my mother. This—you, me, and Jake—is forever. I’m never
letting you go.”

Sandy
kissed him, running her fingers through his hair,
and rubbed her hands over his back. Jake turned and sat on the bed. She
deepened the kiss, and he let her have the control.

Zack trailed his hands up and down her smooth silky thighs.
Sandy
pulled
away, panting, and trailed kisses along his jaw and down his cheek to his neck
before she nipped his ear. Rising up, she rubbed her body against him.

“Tell me,” she muttered into his ear.

Zack dipped his finger into her pussy. “Firebird, you’re
soaking.”

She moaned as he added another finger and pumped them in
and out of her.

“Take me now, and show me how much you love me.”

Sandy
bit his neck, and he pulled his fingers out to
replace them with his cock in one quick thrust. She screamed, gripping him
closer as he fell back on the bed. He paused to move her legs to straddle him.
“Ride me. I want to see those tits bounce as my dick enters your pussy over and
over.”

She grinned down at him as she engulfed his cock and let it
slip out before sitting back down. He gripped her ass to help her keep the
pace, watching as a glazed look came over her. Her head fell back, she closed
her eyes, and her mouth opened in an “O.”

Zack sat up and held her to him, rubbing her breasts
against his body. He leaned down, sucked on her neck, and moved his hands back
down to squeeze her
arse
cheeks together.

“Zack, I’m going to come. Suck harder.”

He nibbled his way to the opposite side and let his finger
trail down to catch some of her cream. Zack moved his finger to her puckered
hole and lubed it with her cream. When he slid his finger in, she pushed down
on a groan.

“Again.”

This time his dick went deep into her ass before he pulled
out and thrust in again.
Sandy
pushed herself forward and bit him, pulsing around him squeezing his cock.
Sandy
’s nails trailed
down his back, and he yelled and emptied into her.

Together they fell back to the bed, panting. “I love you,
Firebird.”

Sandy
hummed. “Love you too.”

 
He gently kissed
her, and she sighed into his mouth. “All I need now is my Jake.”

Chapter
Nine

Jake had seen his captain and was surprised when he kept
him and Brock on the case. “I only have six shifters in this department. Four
of you are working on this case, and my other two are on another important
case.”

Jake was happy he still had a chance to find the guy. He
wanted to have the pleasure of killing him. The captain had given him the rest
of the day off and tomorrow to spend with his family but wanted him back bright
and early the next day to look over any evidence.

Going back out to check on
Sandy
, he came to a stop when she wasn’t
where he left her. His cousin Brock sat at his desk on his phone. “Where is
she?”

Brock excused himself on the phone. “I told her to go with
Zack. I didn’t know how long you’d be with the captain, and I thought you’d
want to go see your parents and family.”

He nodded. “Yeah, I should go and see Mum and Dad. I’d get
Sandy
to go with me, but
I don’t think today is the right time to introduce her.”

Brock closed his eyes. “Yeah, I think you’re right. I’m
going to go see if Sammy will let me visit for a while before I join the
family. I need to know she’s all right.”

“How is she, Brock? Is she even seeing you or Slater?”

Brock ran his fingers through his hair. “She doesn’t flinch
anymore when we get close to her, so it’s slow progress. The problem Slater and
I have is every time we see her our bears come out and become all protective,
possessive, and bossy. And possessive men scare her as they remind her of him.”
He sighed. “We’re just going to have to be patient.”

 
Jake grabbed his
keys from his desk drawer and patted his cousin’s back. “Good luck, Brock.”

****

Jake snuggled into
Sandy
’s
naked body before kissing her neck and down her shoulder. “Morning, Little Red.
I missed you last night.”

She sighed. “I missed you too. I would have gone with you for
support.”

He hugged her tightly, loving the feel of her against his
body. His family had been exhausting, and as soon as Jake arrived, he couldn’t
wait to leave and get home to
Sandy
.
His uncle and aunt had been devastated that their youngest had been killed, and
he’d taken the brunt of the blame for not finding the killer. Brock shared some
blame when he arrived an hour after him looking miserable.

Jake didn’t get home until way after midnight, and all he’d
wanted to do was get some love from his woman and be around people who weren’t
angry or expecting things from him.

“Thanks, and I would have loved for you to be there, but I
don’t think it was the right time for everyone to meet you. Emotions were high
and things were said.” He turned her around to face him. “I want you to meet my
family when we are not all emotionally wrung out. I want them to see how
beautiful, thoughtful, and loving you are.” He brushed her lips with his. “I
know your temper. You would have stuck up for me, and things would have gotten
worse.”

Sandy
pushed on his chest. “What did they say to you?
Why would I have been angry?” Her brow furrowed and she glared at him.

God, he loved this woman. She was angry and ready to fight
for him even when she hadn’t been there and didn’t know the situation. “Don’t
worry about what was said. I just know that you stick up for the people you
love.”

Sandy
pushed him onto his back and straddled his
waist. “You’re damn right I stick up for the people I love. I have no idea what
you could have possibly done wrong, but I would have stood up for you.”

Jake pulled her down to him and held her face. “Yes, I
know, and that’s one of the reasons I love you.” He captured her mouth and ran
his hands up her naked body. He wanted nothing more than to spend the day in
bed with her, loving her. But today was the last day he knew he’d have off for
a while so he wanted to spend the day doing stuff for her.

He pulled away. “I want to make love to you all day long,
but today will probably be my only day off until I find this killer. I wanted
us to go out and have a day together shopping, maybe have lunch and a movie
before Zack got home.”

Sandy
stared at him like he’d grown two heads.
“You’re willing to spend your only day off shopping, lunching, and going to a
girly movie with me.”

“Of course.
I’d do anything for you, although I never said I’d watch a
girly movie.”

 
She gave a sultry
laugh and leaned down to kiss him before pulling away to whisper, “Oh, I think
we have enough time for a quickie.” Her hands ran down his chest and she had a
wicked grin.

Sandy
trailed kisses across his face and neck and
stopped at his nipples. She circled one with her tongue. He groaned and watched
as she sucked it before moving to the other. He ran his hands down her back and
let out a growl as she slid further down, trailing her hands where her body had
been.

She rested between his thighs, and her breath feathered
over his erection. Her tongue slowly, experimentally, licked him from base to
tip. Her hands scraped down his stomach, and she gave a loud moan as her mouth
engulfed him.

Jake held her hair as she moved up and down, and her hands
gripped his base. She swallowed him until she gagged and slowly moved back to a
steady pace. She paused and looked up at him. “Let go. Don’t hold back.”

Taking a deep breath, Jake let himself go. His bear took
over. He pulled her up and captured her mouth with his. His hands trailed down
her back and around to play with her clit.

Sandy
arched into him and scratched a trail down his
back. They pulled away panting, and he nipped his way down her neck and nibbled
on her ears.

“Oh, Jake, I need you.”

He gripped her ass and pulled her over his dick. She moaned
and held him as he slammed home. Her slick wet heat enveloped him and squeezed
around him. He clutched her tightly and mindlessly pumped into her. She
screamed and helped him pick up the pace.
