in his ear, and his dick would salute her.  
    He felt the staff’s eyes on him but he didn’t look up. The urge to question them about their clientele was strong. Hell, he wanted to question J.J. just to see how she reacted. With her sass and slight bitterness towards men, she was a good candidate for RR herself. But he had agreed to hold all his questions for Vanessa.
    “So, who are you? Exactly.” A cold beer appeared in front of Kane and he looked up to see all three staff members scrutinizing him.  
    “Thanks,” he reached for the fresh beer and took a long pull from the bottle before answering them. “Just a friend of Vanessa’s.”
    “Nessa doesn’t have friends.” J.J. said.
    Interesting.  
    “She does now,” was his reply.
    “Jane said you’re a cop.”  
    He nodded at Rose. “I am.”
    “So what do you want with Nessa?”
    He gave J.J. a droll look and she smirked. “Oh. Well, if you hurt her, cop or not, I’ll hurt you.”
    Kane normally didn’t take well to being threatened, and the look in J.J.’s eyes was a threat, but in this place, and this circumstance, he let it go. He was even strangely pleased to see that Vanessa did have friends, no matter what they said.
    They went back to doing their cash-outs, and he sat silently, waiting for Vanessa to finish her paperwork. After about ten minutes, Rose gathered the cash from the other two and disappeared behind the swinging door. To the office he supposed.
    She came back out, they all put their jackets on and said a casual goodnight as they walked out the door. Kane walked around the bar, checked to make sure the doors were secure, and still, Vanessa didn’t emerge from her office.  
    So he went looking.
    He pushed through the swinging doors and entered a short hallway. There was on open door near the end so he strolled down it, and leaned his shoulder against the door jam of   her office.    
    Her head was bent over some papers on her desk, and although she didn’t look up, he knew she felt him there. The awareness that arched between them was too strong to only be one-sided.
    He should leave. He should save his questions for the next day, after he’d had time to process what he’d seen, and his own impressions of the people he’d met. But he didn’t. None of it mattered right then because all he wanted to do was touch her.
    Without waiting for an invitation he stepped into her office and closed the door behind him. Vanessa lifted her head and glanced at him but kept working, silent.  
    He shifted behind her at the desk and placed his hands on her shoulders. They were delicate in his hands, but tight. Adding a bit of pressure, he dug his thumbs in to her back. The soft groan she released went straight to his groin and his dick stiffened, again.  
    Her shoulders loosened up and he let his hands wander. The thin silk of her shirt only enhanced the softness of her curves as he cupped her shoulders, trailed his hands down her arms to press her hands into the desk and nuzzle her hair aside with his chin.
    “You smell so good. Feel so soft and smooth under my hands too.” He pressed his lips to the soft shell of her ear.
    “You’re just horny after having all those half naked women propositioning you all night.”    
    Kane was glad to hear the hint of laughter in her voice. It was obvious this woman enjoyed teasing. “Ahh, but the woman I wanted to proposition me, didn’t.”
    She still didn’t look at him, so he lifted a hand and pressed two fingers under her chin, leading her to look into his eyes. “That would be you I’m talking about,” he whispered before kissing her.  
    He nipped, and licked at her full lips until they parted and gave him entrance. She leaned back in her chair, her head cradled in his palms as he loved her mouth. His tongue darted in and out, dancing sensually against hers. Tasting her, teasing her the way she’d been teasing him all night.  
    His heartbeat picked up and his fingers sank into the
