“Yes.”
My head snapped up as my eyes widened in surprise. Grayson was leaning against the door frame with a sexy smile plastered across his face.
“Holy shit! Was that Gray?” Grace shouted. “Sorry, Noah! Go back to sleep, baby!”
“Yep,” I whispered into the phone.
“Does he look hot?” Lauren asked. “I bet he looks hot.”
“Oh yeah,” I said as my eyes raked over his body.
“Girl, get you some of that now before the little bastard falls back asleep,” Grace said as Lauren giggled.
“Gotta go girls, bye.”
“Bye, Meg! Call us in the morning!” Lauren said as I pulled the phone from my ear and hit End.
“Hey,” I whispered as I stood up.
Grayson’s eyes swam with passion as he stared at me. “Hey. I woke up and you weren’t straddling me anymore.”
With a grin, I tilted my head. “You fell asleep.”
He took a step closer to me while my eyes roamed his perfect body. Those black cotton pants that hung just low enough to have a girl’s imagination going crazy.
“I’m awake now.”
I swallowed hard while his muscles flexed with each movement. I longed to let out a moan but suppressed it. “Yep. You are.”
Holy crap. Really, that’s all you’ve got Meagan?
Stopping in front of me, Grayson placed his finger on my chin and lifted my eyes to his and softly spoke. “Are you ready to fall?”
My heart slammed against my chest as Lauren’s words replayed in my head.
“Will you catch me, Gray?”
His hands cupped my face as his eyes stared intently into mine.
“Yes. Meg, I meant what I said. Spending today with you just made it all the more clear. I love you.”
My knees felt weak as my heart hammered. Closing my eyes, I followed Lauren’s advice. I was ready for the jump.
I opened my eyes and took in a shaky breath as I whispered, “I love you too.”
His smile caused me to smile as our lips pressed together. Grayson’s hands moved into my hair as he deepened the kiss. After a few minutes of nothing but kissing, he picked me up as he carried me to his bed and gently set me down, never once breaking apart from one another.
Slowly pulling his lips from mine, Gray’s eyes looked deeply into mine. “Let me show you how much I love you, baby.”
Grayson
MY HEART HAD never felt like this before as I watched Meagan’s chest rise and fall as I slowly stood and undressed myself. Waking up alone, I searched for her as I made my way to my bedroom. When I heard her voice coming from my bathroom, I slowly opened the door and stood there frozen as I listened to her talking.
I thought I had dreamed I told her I loved her; truth be told, I’m glad I said it out loud. It needed to be said.
“You’re wearing my robe,” I said as I sat down on the bed and untied it.
The moment her tongue slid across her teeth, I knew I was fucked. I’d never be able to live without her. “I was going to take a um . . . take a shower.”
