“Please...Grant, I know what I’m asking.”
“I’m pretty sure you don’t know what you’re taking,” he rasped out as he slowly moved to brace himself above
me. His mouth descended and I took in a breath as he kissed my stomach then tongued his way across my breasts. “Sweet, so sweet,” he murmured as he rolled my nipple between his teeth.
“You,” he heaved out, his breath a warm gust against my skin. I watched his chest rise and fall as he hovered over me, his beautiful dark hair falling around him. Now nestled between my thighs, he waited until I met his eyes before he pushed inside of me. I cried out along with him, surprised at how amazing it felt. He went completely still, allowing me to get used to his size, his chest heaving faster, yet he hadn’t moved. “You okay?”
“Yes. Please, keep going. I want you so much,” I said, wrapping my legs around him, feeling him sink into me even further.
His lips came crashing down and stole my mouth in an all-out fit as our tongues thrashed together wildly. I felt myself start to sweat as he kissed me feverishly, leaving our bodies together but still not moving inside me. “Please, Grant.”
“God, help me.” He thrust himself again and hit me so deep I caught myself holding my breath as the orgasm crept up on me and then took over. He picked up his pace and began to drive into me, pounding every bit of my pleasure out and making it last. When it subsided, he rolled on his back and pulled me on top of him as he traced my throat with his tongue and gentle lips.
“Come again, Rose.”
That was all I needed. I gave him what he asked for and cupped his sack, stroking him beneath us as I brought my hips up and down to meet his. “Grant, give it all to me.”
He grabbed my hips, pushing them down on him, fusing us together, igniting me again as I matched his pace. I felt him growing close as he pulled me down hard onto him, wrapping his arms around me as we both came together. I fell on top of his chest as we regained our senses, taking each other’s breath in consolation before I fell on my back next to him.
We lay side-by-side, holding hands, not saying a word. I had no idea how he was feeling, but I was beside myself. What in the hell had I just done? And, oh, God, did I want to do it again. I would gladly give up medicine to feel that way every minute for the rest of my life. I heard him chuckle and turned to see him propped on his elbow.
“Cheese and beer, that was easy.” I glared at him. “Kidding, baby, kidding! Oh...you are a feisty one.”
“Shut up, I don’t normally do that, Grant. Don’t go assuming anything about me.”
His dimple appeared as he gripped my chin in his free hand. “I’m assuming you take care of your men like you do your food: you devour them both.”
I lifted my brow and gave him my best seductive smile. “Can’t handle a little take charge in the bedroom, Grant?”
“On the contrary, baby. I have never been more pleasantly surprised.”
“That’s what happens when you sleep with strangers.”
He made quick work of his lips, brushing them gently over my sweat-dampened skin as he reached for his jeans and pulled another condom out of his wallet.
“I’m going to need to repeat that, you know, just to make sure it was real,” he whispered as he braced his arms above me, kissing my lips softly and in short repetition. “And Rose,” he crooned as he pushed inside me inch by inch, “we aren’t strangers anymore.”
Rose
I replayed Grant’s words to me as I cowered under the eye of Dr. McGuire, who glanced at the clock as I entered the lab. I’d made my way into his circle of candidates and cursed my stupidity for almost blowing my shot because of a one night stand. An amazing one night stand but a risky one.
“Whitaker, I hate to state the obvious but you are aware this lab started an hour ago.” He peered at me through the crowd of busy students as I faced him head on.
“Yes, sir.”
“And you are giving me no excuse, as well.”
“I’m not good at excuses, sir. I rarely ever have to give them.”
He looked over my appearance, which I was sure matched that of a sleep-deprived sex maniac. “You have less than two hours to finish this lab. Do you think you can surprise me?”
“That’s one thing I am good at, sir.”
I attempted to clear my mind from last night’s hours of incredible sex.
And for the most part, it worked.
I aced the lab.
