“She’s coming. I’m just putting it out there that I don’t approve. You could just wait until tomorrow. That would be much better. Wait until you’re done with your program.”
“I can’t. My business partner is flying up first thing in the morning to get me.”
“Do you even understand how much she is risking by coming here to see you?” Kaitlin asked.
She wasn’t happy with me at all and it was clear she didn’t like my plan of spending alone time with Cassidy. But nothing was going to go wrong.
After midnight, Kaitlin would be the only staff member on this unit. She obviously wouldn’t care that Cassidy and I were alone in the room together. We would be able to spend at least four hours doing whatever we pleased before Cassidy had to sneak out in the morning.
I had already planned it all out. If Cassidy snuck out around four o’clock in the morning, everyone would be sound asleep and she would be able to leave and get some sleep before she had to be back at eight o’clock for her shift.
“I understand and that’s why you’re going to make sure and help us. Right?” I said with a boyish smile.
“I’ll do what I can, but I can’t promise you I’ll be able to keep this from going bad. Things happen, mistakes are made, and I’m not going to be held responsible for any of this. Do you understand?” she said firmly.
“Yep. I know it will be on me if something goes wrong.”
“Now get in your damn room and stay there. I’ll send her in when she gets here.”
I followed her orders and went to my room. In there, I sat on the bed, and then walked over to open the door and looked into the day area. I still had a good hour to wait and the suspense was killing me.
Shower. I could take a shower before she got there.
I jumped in and let the warm water wash over my body as I tried to relax my nerves. Nerves? Was I actually feeling nervous about being with a woman? It was crazy, I couldn’t remember the last time I had actually been nervous about such a thing. It had probably been way back in high school.
The water was actually hot and stayed hot for a long time, so I soaked it up. With everyone else asleep, it was nice to take a shower and not have to get out quickly because the water turned cold.
Thirty minutes passed and I dried off and threw some comfortable clothes on. I crawled into my bed and made sure everything was perfect before I grabbed a book and started to read. I certainly wasn’t going to let her see how nervous I was. Cassidy had to think I was just relaxing and didn’t have a care in the world.
“Scoot over,” I heard a soft voice say in my ear.
I did as I was told and moved over as I was half asleep, but as Cassidy climbed into bed with me, my eyes darted open and I pulled her close to me. She was there. I couldn’t believe it. And I had fallen asleep waiting for her.
Well, if my goal had been to show her I was just chilling out and waiting, then I had certainly done that. But I really hadn’t meant to fall asleep.
“You’re here,” I said as my hands instantly started to slide up her shirt and explore her body.
“Nope, it’s a dream. I’m not really here,” she teased me.
“Kaitlin didn’t seem very happy about all of this.”
“Oh, she’s not. But she loves me, so she’s going with it. I hadn’t told her anything before tonight, though. You should have seen the look of disapproval on her face.”
I had expected Kaitlin wouldn’t have been a cheerleader for Cassidy to break the rules. But soon it wouldn’t matter – I was literally only there for one last night and then I wouldn’t be a patient anymore and Cassidy could play with me any time she wanted to.
My hand moved up her shirt and I let my fingertips trace the line under her bra. We had all night and I wasn’t about to rush things. There was a need in me to savor everything about Cassidy. I wasn’t sure she would ever actually come see me in California, and if this was going to be our last night together, I was going to make sure I remembered every last moment of it.
“I’m glad you came,” I said softly in her ear.
She turned toward me, and I stopped moving immediately. She was radiant. Her red hair reflected the moonlight that shone through the window. She looked up at me with longing and desire like I had never seen in a woman before. It was perfection and I took a mental picture before I continued to take off her lace bra.
“Don’t lose it,” she teased me.
I threw it across the room and then grabbed her t-shirt. Slowly, I pulled it up and over her head as her arms thrust up above her. She looked so ready for me in that moment that I decided to leave her exposed like that while I climbed over her and let my lips explore her taste.
My imagination had tasted every inch of her body, but in reality, I hadn’t had nearly enough of her. My lips went straight for her nipple, and I drew it roughly into my mouth as I heard her moan out. A smile thrust across my face at my ability to get her to moan. I really wished we were in a hotel so I could test out my skills further.
As much as I wanted to spend the whole night slowly making love to her, there was one thing I was desperate to taste.
