His radio crackled to life with a call from dispatch that he had no choice but to ignore—something else he never did.

And then she was coming with loud cries that shattered his control. He surged into her, gasping from the wave after wave of exquisite pleasure that seized his body as her release sparked his.

The dispatcher called again.

Blaine could barely breathe, let alone speak.

“Blaine, babe… The radio.”

“I hear it.” He focused on dragging air into his lungs, and when his head stopped spinning, he keyed the mic on his shoulder to respond to the dispatcher and listened to her report of a multiple-car accident on the island’s north end.

“I’m on my way.” Blaine leaned his forehead against Tiffany’s. “How’d you get me to do this while I’m on duty?”

“As I recall, you didn’t give me much choice.”

“Aww, baby, you always have a choice.”

She smoothed the sweaty hair off his forehead. “And I choose you every time.”

“You make me so incredibly happy, Tiffany. I keep thinking it’s not possible to feel this good all the time, but it just gets better and better.”

With her arms still tight around his neck, she kissed him. “Yes, it does, but you’d better get going before you get in trouble with Mayor Upton again.”

“I’m not entirely sure I can still walk.”

Her giggle filled his heart to overflowing. He loved making her laugh and smile. She’d been so grim when he first met her, and her lighthearted joy was a reminder of how far they’d come since then. Reluctantly, he withdrew from her and held her until she regained her footing.

As expected, his legs wobbled under him.

Tiffany leaned back against the wall while he went into the tiny bathroom in the back of the store to clean up. She was still there when he returned, her lips swollen from their kisses and her cheeks flushed from exertion.

“You look like you’ve been thoroughly ravished, my love.”

“This insanely sexy cop came in and had his wicked way with me.”

Blaine raised a brow. “I dare any man to lay a hand on my woman. I’ll kill him.”

She smiled and reached for him.

He took her hand and let her draw him back in for one last tongue-twisting kiss. “I’ll never survive until tonight.”

“Yes, you will, and I’ll make good on my promises.”

Even though he’d been fully satisfied not even five minutes ago, Blaine whimpered like a little girl at the thought of what she’d promised him. “I’ll think of nothing else all day.”

“Go,” she said, giving him a little push. “The sooner you get done with work, the sooner you get your reward for not messing with Jenny’s party.”
