“Sam, I need you. I want you.”
His wicked grin warmed her. “That’s convenient because I need you and want you, too. You sure you want to do this here?”
She laughed. “Positive.”
“Hang on.”
Then he lifted her, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. They both groaned at the intimate contact.
Sam leaned her back against the tile wall and grabbed a condom from the shelf before sheathing himself.
She couldn’t stop touching him. Everywhere.
His hands did the same, moving from her breasts to her hips to cup her face.
“Now, Sam. Now.”
He plunged into her, making her cry out with pleasure and arch her back for even more contact.
Sam swore gruffly and started to move. They were both primed to explode, and it wasn’t long before he reached between them to play with her clit and send her flying.
He followed with a hard thrust and a shout that echoed in the tiny space.
Her limbs were shaking, and she didn’t protest as Sam took care of the condom, turned off the shower, snagged a couple of towels, and carried her back to the bed.
Tansy flopped onto the pillows. “Best shower ever.”
Sam laughed. “Sounds like a challenge for another day when you’re out of that cast.”
She rolled into him and kissed him lightly. “Challenge accepted.”
Sam took the covering off her cast, and then they dressed and headed down. She’d given up protesting when he picked her up. Three sets of stairs were a lot on crutches.
On the main floor, he set her down. She’d carried the crutches down with her, so she used them to move to the main room.
Nico and Joe were heading out the next day, so they didn’t have much time left with them.
Graham looked up from the chair where he was working on his tablet. “Good morning. Wait. A very good morning, I see.”
Tansy’s face flushed to the roots of her hair. Sam merely cuffed his friend’s head on the way to the kitchen. “You leave anything for breakfast, smart ass?”
“You build up an appetite this morning?”
“Shut up, Buchanan.”
Graham merely laughed and winked at Tansy. When she moved to put the kettle on the stove, he hopped up and did it for her, then reached down to hug her gently. “Glad you’re feeling better.”
Then he moved to the kitchen to pester at Sam over breakfast.
Smiling, Tansy moved to the window to look out over the lake. It was a bright spring day. The snow had completely melted, buds were sprouting on trees and flowers were shooting up from the ground. The grass was beginning to green.
“Thanks, Koko. This is going to be a wonderful home.” She whispered her words, but she knew her grandfather would know. He’d always known.
A group of birds flew up from the trees over to the side of the lake and she wondered if a bear had woken from hibernation. But bears moved easily through the woods. They wouldn’t frighten the birds.
A chill ran through her. Was it a human? Why didn’t she have any drones? That would be next on the list. They could roost on the roof between the panels and be ready to go.
Sam entered the room and came to stand beside her. He handed her a mug of tea and sipped at his own. A strong cinnamon flavor came from both mugs. He wouldn’t admit it yet, but she was converting him from coffee.
