“You scared me!”
“You scared me when I woke up and found you gone.”
“Sorry, I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. I didn’t mean to wake you.”
“Well, you should have,” he told her grouchily. “That’s what I told you to do.” He came forward. “Is your work saved?”
“What? Oh yes?”
He put the lid of the laptop down gently then reached for her, pulling her up into his arms.
“What are you doing? I was working!”
“No, you’re not. You’re going back to bed. You need sleep.”
“I won’t be able to go back to sleep.”
He yawned as he carried her through the living room. “We need to work on that. But what you should never do is sneak out of bed without waking me.”
He deposited her on the bed then moved in next to her. He tilted up her chin. “I have an idea of how to get you back to sleep, if you’re willing.”
“What is it?” she asked, feeling slightly breathless.
Leaning in, he kissed her. “I’m going to make you come. Hard.”
She gulped. “You think that would work?”
“Only one way to find out. If you say yes.”
“Yes,” she murmured. God, she was so ready for this. Having him in her bed each night, waking up to him each morning, seeing him without his shirt on, wanting to strip off his boxers until he was completely naked.
Yeah, she wanted this.
He sat up and then drew her nightgown off, folding it and placing it at the end of the bed. Always tidy. Only the lamp was on, lending a soft glow to the room.
“Close your eyes.”
She complied and he leaned in to kiss her. Then his mouth moved along her cheek to her ear. “All I want from you is to lie there and enjoy. Understand me?”
“Yes,” she replied.
“Yes, Doc.”
“Yes, Doc,” she repeated.
“That’s my good girl.” He kissed his way down her neck, then cupped her breast, wrapping his mouth around her nipple. A small gasp escaped her.
“You don’t have to be quiet,” he told her. “And you don’t have to ask permission to come.”
Thank God for that.
He moved to her other breast, lapping at it
. She ran her fingers through his hair, her hips thrusting. It had been so long since someone had touched her like this. She hadn’t realized how much she needed it. Missed it.
He ran his tongue along her tummy.
“Issy!” she cried out.
