He growls. “You’re killing me, Mara. Please change the subject.”
“I will when you answer me.”
He flexes his hands around the steering wheel before glancing at me again through the corner of his eye. “Making love to you without any barrier would be amazing, and I’d be honored to do that…but don’t think for one minute that after we have, that you can be with anyone else because I won’t share you—ever.”
What the hell is he on about? When have I ever said I wanted to be with someone else? “When have I ever given you reason to believe I’m going to go from you to someone else? I actually thought we had something special and all I could see was a future with you.”
I turn to look out of the window feeling disappointed that he could think I’d consider going from him to someone else. That had never entered my head. I haven’t even thought about anyone else.
Donovan pulls over at the back of the clinic, and switching the engine off he unclips my seat belt. Pulling me into his arms, I resist for a second before I slide into his warmth. There is no fight where Donovan is concerned and I’d go wherever he took me. “I’m sorry, Mara.” He kisses me on the top of my head. “I didn’t mean you were going to go off with someone else after me, I was just trying to tell you in my stupid way that I’m never going to be able to give you up. That applies regardless of when I make love to you.” He brushes the hair back from my face. “Are we good?”
“Yeah, we are.”
“You want to go park later,” he nibbles along my jaw and neck, “and fool around.”
I giggle. “How old are you?”
“Now babe, we’ve never dated and I intend to rectify that. We’ll just have to do it low key for now, and parking with you is on my list of things to do.”
“You have a list?” I ask surprised.
“Not really.” He grins. “But it sounded good.”
I hit him on the chest.
“Now enough talking. Kiss me and go get the jab…where do they put it anyway?”
Rolling my eyes, I cup his face in my hands and looking into his eyes, I kiss him.
As my tongue tangles with his, I change position and sit astride him, wanting more contact. Now that I’ve tasted him, he’s becoming the air I breathe, and I just can’t get enough.
“You better go,” he groans as I kiss my way along his jaw and bite down on his earlobe before sucking it into my mouth. He arches into me as his hands slide up my dress to land on my bottom. He grips me in his hands, and starts to rub me against the hardness he has going on in his jeans.
It feels so good. I throw my head back and start to ride him, but as I feel his hands slipping inside my panties it brings me abruptly back down to earth.
“Stop.”
He freezes.
“I can’t.”
He looks stunned, but starts to pull away from my bottom.
“I mean. Oh God, this is embarrassing.” I cover my face with my hands as I feel a blush starting to rise up from my neck.
“Mara, you have me worried. What’s embarrassing?” He starts to soothe me with small caresses up and down my back.
“Um, you get the jab within five days of your period starting.”
He freezes then starts to laugh.
“Fuck, woman. You had me worried. I thought I’d done something wrong. There’s nothing embarrassing about being a woman.” He kisses me on each hand before pulling them from my face to reveal my fiery cheeks. “You look cute all red.”
“You’re an ass.”
“No I’m not. I’m sweet for telling you not to be embarrassed.” He gives me a quick kiss to my lips before opening his door and dropping to the ground with me in his arms. “Now go in there and get sorted out, and I’ll see you later.” After one last kiss, he passes me my purse, pats me on the butt and shoves me in the direction of the back entrance.
“I’ll let you know what happens,” I shout over my shoulder.
