Gibbs flipped the cell phone closed and dropped it on the floor. The room was dim as the late afternoon sunlight filtered weakly through the door. Kate's phone call reminded him just how irresponsible it was to be in bed at this time of day; the soft, comforting warmth of the woman wrapped around him assaulted his senses until logic was nonsense.
Her throaty moan and wriggling stretch as she woke did not help him regain his objectivity. Instead, he gave himself up to the feel of silken curves sliding along his body. Just as he was about to pull her in for a soul-deep kiss, her eyes snapped open and she tensed against him.
She rose on one elbow, oblivious to the way the blanket fell on her breast. What time is it? You should be at the office!
He barely heard her words, his fingers moving unconsciously to peel the edge of the covering back from the delectable curve. As the tips of his fingers grazed her breast, she gasped then halfheartedly smacked his hand away.
Cut it out. Her low sexy voice was a contradiction with her command. It's time to get up. At his suggestive smile, she rolled her eyes. You know what I mean! God, who knew that the world's biggest, grouchiest, snottiest jerk would turn out to be such a playful kid in bed? He dragged her firmly atop him. Listen, Brat, one more smart remark like that and I'll show you exactly what a man can do in bed.
She placed her hands on his chest and rested her chin on them. Mmm. Promises, promises.You are a brat. He lowered his lips to hers and possessed her with the kiss, giving everything he couldn't say to her in the mating of their lips and tongues. Slowly he rolled them over and with gentle hands begged her for permission to share their bodies again.
Their lovemaking was slow and easy, kisses interspersed with sighs and whispered words. Gentle touches, fingertips on sensitized skin, lips leaving trails of desire until suddenly, explosively they were fused together. Shaking, spent, they cradled each other, knowing they had no more time to spend alone yet unable to let go.
