“It’s been a great Christmas,” Oliver murmured
He rolled over in bed, his heated naked body pressing against Peggy’s back, allowing him to enter her from behind.
“You feel so good,” she whispered shakily, sighing as he drove inside.
She was wearing a Santa hat he’d picked up at the store earlier. “You’ve been naughty,” he said hoarsely, reading the message scrawled in red on the white brim.
“Maybe I need a spanking,” she teased.
Oliver eased away from her, loving how she gasped over each inch of his withdrawal. Slipping his palm downward, he gave her a love tap that drew a cry—not of pain, but of pleasure.
“Nice,” she corrected cheekily, reaching up and turning the brim to the side that said, “I’ve been nice.”
“If you’ve been nice,” he teased, “then maybe Santa will give you something special for Christmas. What do you want?”
Her breath caught and she shifted her body. “This.”
With a groan, Oliver rolled her over and entered her again with a long, deep satisfying thrust.
Merry Christmas…

“WELL, KATE,” Oliver Vargo was saying conversationally as he leaned forward in a white-upholstered sectional chair. “I can hardly take personal credit for bringing psychological talents to law enforcement. It’s really nothing new.”
“Please don’t be modest, Mr. Vargo,” replied Kate Olsen, the redheaded interviewer for NBC’s Rise and Shine show and talking head for the evening news. She chuckled knowingly. “The psychological profiles you’ve produced for the FBI have led to the arrest of countless felons, including many who committed crimes previously deemed unsolvable.”
“Psyching out the other guy is as old as crime itself,” Oliver returned agreeably.
“Yet some experts devalue criminal profiling, saying it’s not an exact science.” Before he could respond, Kate turned toward the camera, beginning a slow segue toward the commercial break. “For anyone tuning in, our guest today is FBI agent Oliver Vargo, whose first book How Evil Thinks was one of the longest-running nonfiction bestsellers ever on the New York Times list.” Leaning, Kate lifted a hardcover from a glass-topped coffee table and held it up, her manicured fingers bracketing Oliver’s photograph. “His latest book, Catching Crooks the Old-Fashioned Way, promises to be every bit as successful.
“In a moment, we’ll need to pause for a commercial break,” she continued, returning her gaze to Oliver, “but before we do, what can you tell us about your fascinating book?”
As a wry smile curled the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes twinkled in a way that wasn’t lost on the camera. “In ten words or less?” he joked, playing the audience like a natural while clearly noticing a cue from someone off-camera, probably a producer.
“Don’t worry,” said Kate with an encouraging laugh. “We’ll have time after our break, too!”
“My book defends criminal profiling,” Oliver said, turning serious. “Something that—as you’ve pointed out, Kate—has been debunked by many as mumbo jumbo.”
“Even though the methods are successful?”
“Yes.” He continued in a deep voice that quickened with passion for his subject. “Detractors argue that profiling is a new method for solving crimes, but it’s really more tried-and-true than scientific evidence we readily accept, such as fingerprinting, or analyzing hair and fiber samples.”
“Fascinating,” Kate murmured, her eyes intent. “For those who are just tuning in, what exactly is profiling?”
“Profiling is the old-fashioned way to solve crimes,” explained Oliver.
