“Ms. Marks? May I see now?” Dr. Ganes drew her attention back to him.
Removing her sweater, she held her breath as they saw the bruising for the first time. She’d always had delicate skin and things looked far worse than they actually were. That didn’t stop the anger from entering Landon eyes or the sharp intake of breath from the doctor.
He spent the next hour going over her medical history while inspecting every bruise she had, it seemed. Checking her heart rate and blood pressure for good measure, the doctor made sure she had no concussion or hearing and vision issues. By the time he left, she was thoroughly exhausted.
“Sweet?” Landon called walking up behind her as she stood in the same spot where she’d fallen in love only three days ago.
Love? In three days?
At any other time in her life, she’d have laughed and thought it was a joke. Yet here she was admitting that love at first sight not only existed, but she was one of the lucky ones to experience it.
It was empowering and overwhelming. Sensational and heady.
The most amazing feeling she’d ever had.
Turning to face him, she thought, now if only he felt the same.
“What are we doing, Landon?”
The look he shot her was full of heat and need. A dark need her soul couldn’t resist as his full lips descended on hers slowly.
“We’re falling, sweets,” he murmured softly against her.
“Are you?”
“Crashed and burned. The minute I saw you, I was hooked.”
Her eyes flew to his at his confession. She knew he’d lusted after her, even claimed she was his. Said he was never letting her go. But she never thought that could mean love.
Was it too soon?
Who the hell cares!
Pushing that last small millimeter to his lips, she decided tonight she was going to own him. He was clearly surprised by her bold move because he froze for about half a second before taking over the kiss.
Sweeping his tongue into her mouth, demanding submission from her seeking tongue, he retreated sucking on her lip as he did. She felt an answering throb in core. Her breasts grew heavy with need.
Rubbing his swollen cock into her soft belly, he whispered, “You feel that, Cec? That’s all you. I need you, sweets.”
Moaning into his mouth, she pressed herself as tight to him as she could. Kissing her way up his jaw to his ear, sh
e moaned, “I’m yours, Landon.”
Growling, he picked her up tossing her over his shoulder and with a determined stride, they were in his room in a matter of seconds. Door slamming behind them, he tossed her on the bed like a feather.
“Eeek!” she squealed as she landed in the middle while he stripped out of his clothes quickly.
“Strip,” he demanded in a low sexy voice. All gruff and lust.
“Yes, Landon.”
“I like you agreeable,” he teased her.
Smiling coyly at him, she began to slowly undress. Crossing her arms, she grabbed the hem of her shirt and bringing it up her torso, stopping to meet his eyes when she reached her breasts. His impatient growl had her giggling.
Quickly tossing it over her head to land at his feet, she undid the button of her jeans slowly pulling the metal tab down. She turned, then bent over as she pushed them past her ass. Looking over her shoulder at him with hooded eyes she asked, “Pull, please?”
He seemed transfixed with her near naked ass as he slowly grabbed the end of one pant leg then the other, pulling her jeans right off.
