would stay that way for a good long while.
    Okay . His chosen target for the evening was just heading out the door. She was chatting with three friends, so he knew it would be a few minutes before she got in her car and left. Time enough for him to get ready.
    His cock was already throbbing with anticipation.

    Besides Max, the last ones left in The Litter Box were Seth and Kendall. He’d watched everyone leave, doing his best to make sure all the females had one of Max’s little warning notes, then had shaken hands with Leo, who’d headed out the back door. Now he was ready to take off, especially since Aisha had left ages ago, meaning he’d be following Kendall home and spending the night in her bed.
    “Thanks for hanging around,” he told her. “I know you have to get up early.”
    “Actually, tomorrow I don’t. I’m taking a personal day.” She gave him a slow, sexy smile. “I need to catch up on my sleep.”
    He brushed the soft golden hair away from her neck and placed a kiss on the slender column of her neck.
    “Then I won’t feel so bad if I keep you up until dawn, right?”
    She leaned into him. “Don’t you have to get some sleep? You’ve been pulling double duty as well as taking very good care of me.”
    “Well, we’re both lucky because I don’t have to be in until noon tomorrow.” He turned to his brother as Kendall slipped off the stool. “See you tomorrow night, Max.”
    “Listen.” Max dried his hands on a bar towel then held one out to Seth. “You can’t possibly imagine how much I appreciate you doing this. I know it doesn’t leave you much time for sleep.” He grinned at Kendall. “Or much of anything else.”
    “Don’t worry,” she assured him, and winked. “We manage. Anyway, we should be thanking you, because if not for Seth’s hanging out here, we’d never have met.”
    “Something good comes from everything.” Max shifted his gaze back to Seth. “Any leads yet on who this might be?”
    Seth shook his head. “No, and I’ve got a bad feeling he’s about to strike again. I asked the captain to increase the residential patrols, but hell. We’ve got a whole city to cover.”
    “Go home,” Max told him. And chuckled. “To somebody’s home, anyway.”

    The drive home had seemed interminable and they were barely inside Kendall’s apartment when Seth grabbed her and pulled her into him.
    “I need you more than I can possibly tell you,” he growled softly and licked the soft surface of her lips. “Sometimes this is a crummy job, Kendall. I see things that give me nightmares. But until I met you I had no place to rest. To clean my mind and my soul. Maybe it’s been fast, but it’s real. I promise you that.”
    “I-I feel the same way,” she murmured.
    The kiss began as a gentle one, but the moment he traced the seam of her lips and thrust his tongue into the welcoming heat of her mouth, it took on a hotter, deeper dimension. His tongue glided across hers, dancing with it, drawing it into his mouth while his fingers threaded through the golden strands of her hair. She was like silk everywhere, her taste intoxicating, the feel of her unbelievably erotic.
    He nipped her ear lobe and licked the tender spot behind her ear. His lips slid across the smoothness of her cheek and down her neck, nipping lightly then soothing with his tongue. Kendall wound her arms tightly around his neck and her soft breasts were pillowed against his chest, sending messages directly to his cock. He stepped back a little and lifted her in his arms.
    “We need to get to the bedroom now.” He heard the edge of lust in his voice. “I’m not going to take you in the hallway standing up.” Then he grinned at her. “At least not tonight.”
    They undressed each other with a new familiarity, touching and caressing as flesh was exposed. Seth paused to cup Kendall’s breasts, hefting them in his palms, and bent his mouth first to one taut nipple then to the other. He
