Excerpt:

โ€œCan we go home, please? I need to fit in a quick catnap before heading to the office.โ€ She yawned, suddenly drained from the busy morning.

Crossing his long arms over his chest, Cameron shook his head. โ€œNo way. Youโ€™re not going to work after what youโ€™ve been through. You need to take it easy.โ€

โ€œNo, I need to go to work,โ€ she argued, her face heating up.

โ€œThe hell you do.โ€ His low voice rumbled, scaring a passing orderly.

Realizing fighting through this wasnโ€™t the best course of action, Joci unclenched her fisted hands. Slanting eyes over him, she sighed at his chaotic curls, from the wind or pushing his fingers through it she wasnโ€™t sure. The holes where his nose and eyebrow rings used to sit glared at her, fleetingly making her wish they were in place once more. His jaw was set but his lips were pouty, an irresistible sight if she ever saw one. The adamant expression in his dark brown eyes siphoned all anger from her. He was concerned for her health, but there was something else lying behind his tone. His reflection sent her back to their childhood in Ohio. Heโ€™d puckered a similar face when they disagreed as kids. No wonder he always got his way, the ass.

He wasnโ€™t wrong in his apprehension, however, letting him win this argument wouldnโ€™t happen. He loved her, which meant he knew she was as stubborn as him. They were a perfect match from the start. Bullheaded and ornery. Work would always be at the top of her list and he knew it better than anyone from personal experience.

Stepping to his sulking position against the wall, Joci slipped her hands around his waist, her fingers grazing each of the devices hanging from the police utility belt. โ€œCam, all this excitement drained me. I need a bit of cuddle time, and I bet you know the perfect guy.โ€

His face released its strained hold and his lips slackened. โ€œMaybe.โ€

Beaming up at him, she tilted her head to the right. โ€œMaybe you know a guy, or maybe you are the guy?โ€

His chin lowered until she was touching noses with him. โ€œI am the guy,โ€ he fiercely replied.

Joci snaked her hand up his spine to the back of his head. Compelling his neck toward her, she locked her gaze with his stormy mahogany one. โ€œThe only guy.โ€

A tiny smile broke across his cheeks. โ€œThen thereโ€™s no place Iโ€™d rather be.โ€

He leaned forward, imprinting his lips to her for eternity. The taste of mint clung to his breath, luring her to kiss him until she explored every facet of his mouth. His tongue tangoed with hers, causing adrenaline to spike through her body. Pressing harder against his mouth, she gasped when her back carefully hit the wall. Anyone could witness their brazen embrace, but she didnโ€™t care. She needed his lips on her right now. His teeth nipped her lower lip. And if he wasnโ€™t careful, sheโ€™d lug him to the nearest supply closet and bar the door just to show him how much she needed him.
When he finally eased away, Joci wasnโ€™t sure if she was breathing on her own. He had this effect on her when she least expected but sorely craved it.

โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re safe,โ€ he whispered, his brown eyes etched with leftover concern. โ€œPromise youโ€™ll never leave.โ€ His hands rubbed the protruding stomach between them. โ€œI canโ€™t do this without you.โ€

Kissing him hard, Joci hoped he felt a molecule of the havoc his lips caused in her. โ€œI promise.โ€

At Cameronโ€™s relaxed sigh, she snuggled into him. A movement behind them distracted her as he straightened. She couldnโ€™t see who was spying, only recognized a shock of red hair as they moved to the exit.
