The Distance Between Us (MAC Security 3)

His mouth closes around my nipple and he sucks so hard that it has me shouting his name, only being muffled when he slams his hand over my mouth for a second time, groaning along with me as he releases inside of me.

Our chests heave as we try to catch our breaths, coming down off our high, Charlie’s head burrowed into my neck.

“Well, that wasn’t what I thought would happen today,” he chuckles, pulling out of me and doing his jeans back up.

“You’re welcome.” I smirk, jumping down off his desk and putting my bra and coat back on. “You can keep these,” I say, picking up my ripped panties off the floor and throwing them at him. I do the buttons up on my coat, watching as he smirks down at the lace in his hands and then I pull open the door, taking one last look at his stunned expression. The grin on my face widens and I walk out of there and past all the detectives, completely sated and feeling better than I have in a long time.

I stand here, staring at the door that Kitty walked through, my eyes wide and my mouth open. I can’t believe that just happened. I’ve never done anything like that in here and certainly not with a room full of detectives on the other side of the door.

Not that I care because fuck me, that was the best experience of my life.

Seeing Kitty standing in the middle of the pit as I showed Jonny out had my heart beating out of my chest and when he walked to her, so close that he could touch her, I couldn’t stop my anger roaring to life.

I wanted nothing more than to go over to him and physically move him, but I knew that wouldn’t do anything but cause more trouble.

He had come in unannounced, walking into the pit like he owned the fucking place. I wanted to swing my fist at his face then and there, but the first words out of his mouth were, “I’ll help you bring down the cartel.”

Turns out that he was trying to get in close with them to bring them down anyway. Only he wasn’t going to do it legally. He didn’t go into detail but he said that he would help us under one condition, that MAC work the case with us.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve partnered on cases before, but with him specifically asking for them, I knew that it was because of Kitty. I’ll never forget the way his eyes watched her in that club, the way they shined when they met hers.

I wanted to stand up and pound on my chest like a goddamn caveman and scream that she’s mine, but instead, I just

nodded my head and told him that I’d have to run it past my superior and speak to Ty about it, and that’s when he left, seeing Kitty as he went.

“Sarge?” Leroy asks.

My head shoots up and I close my hand around the lace panties that I’m still holding. “Yeah?”

“Jonny?”

I clear my throat, looking around the room. “I’ll be out in a minute to fill you all in,” I tell him, spinning around and straightening everything on my desk.

I’ll never be able to look at that desk the same way ever again.

I wrap the towel around my body when I get out of the shower, catching my reflection in the mirror on the wall as I hum along to the song that’s playing on my playlist as I towel dry my hair, deciding that I’ll leave it to dry naturally, wanting a wavy look. I pull all of my makeup out, sitting on the lid of the toilet as I start to apply it, shuffling my body to the beat of the music.

I always sit here to do my makeup because it’s the perfect placement, right next to the vanity with the mirror above it. It’s like whoever originally built this cottage knew that it’d be the perfect setup for primping and priming.

Today will be the first time that me and Charlie will be around all the guys as a couple. I’m more excited than nervous. I want them to be able to see me and Charlie together because I know that they’ve all made up their minds about our relationship and the history that we have, but none of them have actually seen us together.

Once I’ve finished applying all of my makeup, I hang the towel up and walk into my bedroom and straight to my closet so I can decide what to wear. It’s warm out today so I’m thinking jean shorts and my cowboy boots.

I pull out a bra and panties set, putting them on and spinning around.

“Ahh!” My hand flies to my chest as I spot Charlie leaning against the doorframe, watching me with a grin on his face. “What are you doing?” I gasp.

“I had a little extra time so I thought I’d come early.” He takes a step inside my room, his tongue tracing his bottom lip as he watches me. His eyes flare up as he gets closer, reaching out and trailing his hand down my arm. “I’m glad I did.”

I swallow at the intensity in his eyes, getting caught in his gaze.

“I was just getting ready,” I tell him, my voice husky and betraying me.

“Mmmhmm,” he murmurs, stepping closer and placing his hand in the middle of my back, pulling me forward.

My breath catches as he lowers his face to mine, and when our lips touch, I moan. His kisses are never just kisses, they’re so much more than that. He pours everything into every single kiss and I can never get enough of it.

His hands come down to my thighs and he lifts me up off the ground. Wrapping my legs around his waist, he steps back, turning around and pushing me against the wall.
