I decided to use the time to do my rounds and then study for a test I had the following morning. I still felt pretty crummy as I pulled on my sneakers and headed over to the old school. When I walked in, I was pleased to see Mia and Reagan had already taken care of everything. They’d even brought some of the larger plants out to the gym like I’d requested. Since there wasn’t anything left for me to do, I headed back to my place to study.
Once I was back at home, I grabbed my laptop and made a spot on the sofa. After tossing a blanket over my legs, I nestled in and started reading through my notes. Unfortunately, even after a nap, I couldn’t maintain my focus on studying, and it wasn’t long before I gave it up. I closed my laptop and started watching whatever was on the TV.
One movie rolled into the next, and it wasn’t long before it was dark outside. Grayson said he would stop back by once they were done with the cameras, so I made a snack and curled up on the sofa again. I had every intention of getting back to my studies, but sadly, that didn’t happen. Instead, I fell asleep and didn’t wake until I felt myself being lifted from the sofa. I opened my eyes long enough to see Grayson carrying me to bed.
The next morning, I woke up with Grayson sleeping in the bed next to me. As I curled up alongside him, I was thankful that my pounding headache was gone, and I was feeling much better. His eyes were still closed when he muttered, “Morning, babe.”
“Good morning.”
My fingers started trailing along the lines of his tattoo when they got a mind of their own and slowly drifted down his abdomen. As they reached his boxers, Grayson looked down at me and said, “Careful there, or you might find yourself in trouble.”
“I think I could handle a little trouble this morning.”
“Is that right?”
“Mm-hmm. Bring it on.”
My fingers had barely grazed his thickening erection when he rolled on top of me. He hovered over me, and his eyes met mine with an intensity that sent a wave of heat surging through my body. Without saying a word, his hands dropped down to the hem of my t-shirt and pulled it over my head. His eyes drifted over my bare breasts, and that was all it took. Moments later, our clothes were at our feet, and he was reaching down to remove a condom from his jeans. I immediately shook my head and whispered, “No, Grayson, you don’t need it. I’m on the pill.”
With a massive smile on his face, he dropped the condom down on the floor, then settled himself between my legs. I gasped when he reached for my thighs and pulled me closer. His hand drifted down between my legs, cupping my heat as his fingers raked across my center. “You’re so fucking wet.”
Grayson’s breath was strained as he looked down at me with hunger in his eyes, and I knew he wanted me just as badly as I wanted him. He brushed his thickness against me, teasing me as he ground his hips against mine until I wrapped my legs around his ass and pulled him deep inside. My entire body was consumed with need and focused on nothing but the touch of his hands on my body, the soft whisper of his kiss, and the tingling sensation that surged through me whenever he shifted deeper within me.
His eyes locked on mine, watching my expression as he started to increase his pace. God, I loved the way Grayson looked at me—as if I was someone precious to him, someone he’d give his life to protect—and I couldn’t deny that I felt the same way about him. I knew it was crazy. It was too soon, but I felt it just the same. His dark eyes grew even more intense as he growled, “Need to feel you come undone for me.”
His pace continued to increase, faster and harder, setting my entire body on fire. “Yes! Oh God, yes.”
He pulled back and crashed into me again and again, driving me wild with every deep thrust. My fingers dug into the comforter, twisting and pulling, as my back arched off the bed. A deep growl vibrated through his chest as my legs tightened around him, and my hips jolted forward, meeting his and taking him even deeper. I inhaled a labored breath while my body trembled and convulsed beneath him as my orgasm took hold. He continued his relentless rhythm, each time more demanding than the last as he came closer to the edge. I was still floating on the high of my own release when I felt his body grow rigid. A deep groan echoed through the room as he buried himself deep inside me, holding still as he found his release.
