But then his fingers were gone and he was pulling her hips closer. "Tell me what I want to hear, Halley," he commanded with a gruff voice.
"I'm yours," she whispered, unable to take the torture any longer. She needed him. She needed that hard erection to fill her up and make her whole. She knew that she would just about die if she didn't feel him moving inside of her.
So when she said the words and he thrust into her, she felt like her world was going to be okay, once again. "Mike," she whispered, his name coming from her lips like a song. Her hands moved from behind her on the countertop to his shoulders as he pounded into her, making both of them come closer and closer to that blissful release. She couldn't believe how crazy he made her and all she could do was hang on. When that climax came this time, she was screaming out his name as her nails dug into the skin of his shoulders, unaware of the scratches forming there. Mike didn't care either. Didn't even notice except that it was one more sensation to take him over the edge.
"Halley," he whispered her name as his body throbbed with the pleasure.
A long time later, his arms slowly relaxed, but Halley continued to hold onto him. She wasn't quite ready to separate herself from this man.
Unfortunately, his phone started ringing at that point. Her head bounced slightly as he reached behind him to grab his phone off of his belt.
"Yeah," he said into the phone and Halley smiled at the hoarse sound. She started to extricate herself from him, thinking that he would need privacy for this conversation. But as soon as she moved, he placed a hand at the small of her back, keeping her right there against him. She didn't mind. She wanted to feel him for a few more minutes. She liked the heat and the intimacy in the aftermath of such an incredible storm.
"No, I have a situation at Halley's house." He paused and Halley tensed, trying to hear the other person's response. "No, I'll take care of it," he said and she relaxed, feeling Mike hug her gently. It was an odd feeling, having someone hug you in an affectionate manner when still connected intimately. "I'll be in as soon as I look things over." Another, longer pause. "Yeah, I'll fill you in later." He sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "No. I'll fill you in when I get to the office."
He ended the call and looked down at Halley. "Satisfied?" he asked softly.
Halley smiled brightly up at him. "In more ways than one!" She replied saucily.
Mike laughed and hugged her again, kissing the top of her head. Pulling out of her, he disposed of the condom in the trash and then adjusted his clothing. "Let me get some stuff out of my truck. I'll see if I can get some prints off … " he looked around, realizing that he'd just had sex on what might have been evidence. "Hell!" he muttered, lifting Halley up off of the countertop.
She quickly bent down and grabbed the robe, pulling it around her body once again. "What's wrong?" she asked, not sure what could possibly be wrong at the moment. Mike had given in on her request for no others to be involved and she'd just had amazing sex. What could be the problem now?
"Your adorable butt might have smudged fingerprints," he explained.
Halley's mouth fell open and she looked at Mike, then at the spot where he'd put her on the countertop, then back at him, her cheeks blushing painfully. "Well, that's going to be a bit difficult to explain."
"Yep," he sighed. "Hopefully I have enough fingerprinting materials in my truck to do this job. I'll need your fingerprints for elimination prints. And anyone else who might have been in your house."
Halley shook her head. "No. My mother, father, all my brothers, Fleur, my sisters in law, friends who were over for a dinner last week … "
Mike rubbed his forehead as the implications of her "No" hit him head on. "Great. I'm guessing you won't let me fingerprint everyone to get exclusionary prints, will you?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "That seems like a lot of work."
He moved over to her, his big hands framing her face gently. "You're not getting something Halley. I will protect you. I don't care how much work it takes. Nothing is going to happen to you!"
Her heart melted with his words. Yeah, that sounded nice. Of course, Mike would do the same for anyone in the community, but still …
"You're a good man, Mike," she replied with heart-felt sincerity.
Mike looked into her blue eyes and knew that she didn't understand. But nor did he have the time to explain. He needed to figure out what was going on in her house and make sure whoever was doing this to her didn't escalate. "Halley, why don't you go take a shower and get dressed while I try to pick up a foreign print. I'll just run a search on every print I come across without trying to get exclusion prints. If something comes up in the database, we'll take it from there, okay?"
