makes everything better. I should feel extra special!” She said, with a sarcastic smile.
“Ellie-” he started, but she cut him off.
“You brought the new sheep to join the rest of the flock in the shaving barn.” He looked away, sucking in his lips to hide his smile. That only angered Ellie more. She looked around, “Any of your one night stands here? I’m not going to risk getting beat up over a man, especially not you.”
Carson laughed, swaying to the beat, forcing her to move with him, “They understand. They love dancing and salsa has a way of provoking desire.... and passion.”
Ellie saw the desire in his eyes as his hand settled on her back, right above her ass. She leaned closer to his ear, “It’s going to take a lot more than dancing before I let you get your passion anywhere near mine.”
Carson laughed, spinning her around again. He stopped her back against his chest, “You are evil, a complete temptation that drives me crazy. I like it.”
It only took a minute before the music took over her, “I’m not like your type of girl, and I’m determined to teach you that before whatever this is goes any further, or ends.”
“I’m going to enjoy the lesson,” he ran his fingers lightly down her arm. He smiled at the goose bumps his touch gave her. She gasped and placed her hand over his when he trailed his fingertips up her thigh, pulling her dress up with his thumb. As much as she fought it, she wanted him. He brushed his nose along her neck and then planted a track of kisses when she turned her head onto his shoulder.
He whispered in her ear, “And don’t worry, it’s going to be an exclusive lesson.”
She placed her hand on the back of his thick neck, “You, going off sex for days, weeks and maybe even months? Are you sure you can handle that?”
He turned her to face him. He brushed his lips over hers, “I don’t think we’ll make it to months. And besides, when we finally indulge in the passion, it’s going to be explosive. I’m not going to risk tainting that.” He bent her over and placed a trail of kisses down her neck to the sweetheart top of her dress.
She gasped, sinking into the pleasure his lips gave her, “We are never going salsa dancing again.” She whispered.
Chapter Four
Audrey placed the case folders on the table in the case room. She was glad they didn’t have to work a case that past weekend, but she also wished there wasn’t a case waiting for them that bright early morning. She sat down as the rest of the team trickled into the room, all with their own weekend story to tell before they turned on a huge screen and their good moods destroyed for the duration of the case. Carson was the last to walk in. Unlike him, he sat down quietly, his attention completely commanded by his blackberry.
“Aren’t you going to tell us how your weekend was?” Paloma was curious about the change. Although secretive, he was usually the loud one every morning before the case, soaking up the joy before finding out what the case was about.
After a few seconds of punching in letters on his phone he looked up at the team with a smile on his face, “Did someone say something?”
“Are you texting?” Audrey shrieked, “Can anyone else see him texting or have I finally lost my mind?”
“He is texting,” Richard shook his head laughing, “I thought that wasn’t your style Carson?”
Before he could answer, his phone beeped. He looked down to read his message and laughed before he typed up a response.
Doran’s brows shot up, “Did he just giggle?”
Gwen’s interest got spiked, “Who are you texting?” When he didn’t answer nor raise his head to acknowledge she’d spoken, she reached out to grab the phone. He pulled away, holding the phone securely away from her.
“What’s up?”
“You don’t text, and you don’t give anyone’s messages that much attention, not even your own mother’s.” Gwen answered with an insincere smile on her
