Shot to the Heart – Chapter 4
Bo leaned back, and for a split second, Nora thought she had misread the entire situation, but then the twinkle she knew so well appeared in Bo’s eyes.
“If I kiss you right now, I’m going to make love to you tonight,” he whispered.
“I would be incredibly disappointed if you didn’t.”
“There’s only one problem.” He tugged on the tie that held her coat closed, and when it fell open, moaned to see a soft pink satin camisole beneath.
“Hmmm?” Nora returned, mesmerized by Bo’s fingers, now running up her ribcage. The pad of his thumb continued up the underside of her breast and briefly brushed her nipples, one, then the other, before sliding away and closing her coat.
“I have a meeting with the City Council in about 30 minutes.”
“Well, then, I guess this will have to tide you over until later.”
She leaned in, more confident than when she first arrived, and took his mouth in a searing kiss. Bo quickly caught up and pulled her toward him, and took control.
They eventually pulled back, both breathing heavily. Nora recovered first, “So, tonight?”
“Absolutely! I’ll come by after my meeting gets out.”
“I’m looking forward to it,” Nora knotted the belt at her waist and tugged it tight. “Until then, Commissioner.”
“Until then, Counselor.”

Bo stepped out of the meeting during the recess and checked for missed calls. Hearing Nora’s voice made him smile.
“It’s all your fault that I forgot that Matthew is having a study group at our house tonight until about 9p. I would understand if you changed your mind about coming, but I would still love to see you. So, hope to see you then.”
He looked at his watch. How much longer could these guys keep talking? He had some place he needed to be.

“Mom, what time is the pizza going to be here?”
“You were right there when I called them, honey, they said 30 minutes.”
“We’re starving!”
“Keep focusing on your history project and less on the rumbling stomachs. I’ll let you know when it’s here.”
Nora curled up on the sofa and pulled her legs up under her, letting her mind focus on the journal she’d been meaning to review, with an ear out for the kids that were using her study.
When the doorbell rang, she mindlessly walked over, expecting the pizza delivery.
“Bo!—“ Before she could get anything else out, a pair of warm lips found hers and a low moan escaped.
“Was that the pizza, Mom?”
“Uh, no,” she pushed off of Bo, grateful for the concealment of the front door. “It’s your dad.”
“Hey, Dad! What are you doing here?”
“Can’t a father stop by and see his son?”
“Well, sure, but I have some friends here for a school thing.”
“I’m just kidding you. You’re mom told me you had plans when I saw her earlier today. I just thought I’d come keep her company.”
“Oh, okay. Well, don’t forget to let me know when the pizza comes.”
“A one track mind, that kid!” Nora laughed, watching her son go back to the other room.
“He’s not the only one,” Bo placed a hand on her waist and pulled her back toward his chest.
“Hold on there, mister,” Nora laughed as she braced her hands on his arms to prevent a closer embrace. “One, we’re not alone, and two,” she lowered her voice, “you and I both know that once we start, we’re not going to stop.”
I read this twice and smiled through the whole thing! I can see it all in my mind. "Until then, Commissioner." "Until then, Counselor." LOL You know Bo and Nora so well! Looking forward to what's next..."Until then..."
