Not Planning on You (Danvers #2)

Gray leaned over and put his finger across her lips, silencing her. “Talk later; I need to feel your lips against mine, now.”


The touch of Gray’s lips sent her blood boiling. Gray ignited a fire inside her with just a look. Her br**sts strained against her shirt, her ni**les desperately seeking his attention. Kissing a man had never been as erotic as it was with Gray. He nibbled, he sucked, he consumed. His tongue merged with hers as if two halves of a whole meeting. His hand wandered down to her br**sts, cupping them possessively before rubbing the ni**les between his fingers. Suzy could feel the coil of desire pulling tighter as liquid pooled between her thighs.

Gray wrenched his mouth from hers, his eyes wild with desire. “We have to stop, baby; I don’t want to hurt you, and I’m about to lose control.” He removed his hand from her breast and stood shakily to his feet. “You don’t know how I’ve dreamed of seeing you just like this. Your lips swollen from my kiss, your ni**les puckered against your shirt from my touch, and your face flushed with need. When I finally get to love you, though, there will be no stopping. We won’t come out of that room until I’ve had you in every way I have dreamed of for the last year.” Forcing himself to turn away from her, he laughed and said, “So, how about steaks for dinner?”

Suzy nodded her agreement, and without looking back, Gray strolled towards the kitchen. She let out the breath she’d been holding and tried to bring her body under control. She’d gotten to the point to where she didn’t care if she was in pain as long as Gray was inside of her. Her body vibrated with need so strong, she had to grit her teeth to keep from calling him back. She knew physically she was hardly in the condition to make love, but she’d never wanted anything as badly as she wanted Gray. She needed to have that physical intimacy with him. Surely, if you could walk with a hard cast and a boot, you could have sex as well. Excuse me doctor, if I can walk with a cast, can I also ride the man I’m living with?

Suzy had to chuckle a little as she imagined both Gray’s and the doctor’s expression should she ask that question tomorrow. The object of her fantasy came back in the room looking like he’d just managed to get himself under control. “I thought you might like to eat on the patio. There is a nice table and chair set, and I can grab some pillows to make you comfortable.”

“Now that’s the best offer I’ve had all day. Hand me my trusty pink crutches, and I’ll hobble right out there.”

“Oh, no, I don’t plan to be replaced by the crutches. Those are just for when I’m not here. I’m afraid I plan to take advantage of every opportunity to cop a feel, so I’ll be carrying you to the table.” As Gray picked her up, Suzy reached over and gave him a light kiss on the lips. His heart skipped in happiness at having her take the initiative in touching him. Carrying her around would insure he stayed in a constant state of arousal, but it was a pain he was willing to bear to feel her body close to his.

Suzy took a moment to appreciate the beauty around her as Gray settled her in a comfortable patio seat facing the ocean. He propped her ankle on a padded stool and walked over to start the barbeque grill. The Atlantic Ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. The sun setting made a beautiful orange cast on the horizon as the day slowly became evening. Myrtle Beach in the fall was one of her favorite times of the year. The scorching days of summer were gone, and the days and the evenings were mild enough now to enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about a heat stroke. She loved the ocean. There was no way she could ever live without being close enough to feel the sand between her toes or smell the salt in the air. The beach brought her peace, and she’d spent a lot of time walking it and sitting on it when Jeff left her.
