Since we got home, we’ve been washing new sheets and towels in our new washer and dryer, setting up our bedroom, putting dishes away, and eating. Grady even bought me four bags of the Flamin’ Hot Fritos.
Now it seems he’s tired of setting up house. He leads me through the family room to our new bedroom.
“I was almost done,” I say as we round the corner where our new bed, mattress, and other furniture fill the room. Even with the room full, it still feels empty and I make a mental note that we need stuff to hang on the walls.
Grady moves to the side of the bed and turns. There, he pulls me to him and his hands instantly come to the hem of my shirt. After he lifts it up and over my head, his eyes are heated. “Time to break in our new bed.”
Even if I feel that between my legs, it reminds me of earlier when I walked in on him working out in the barn. I run my hands over his arms and shoulders. “I’m still upset about the pull-ups no matter how hot it was.”
He smirks. “You liked that?”
I bite my lip and my eyes go big. “There was a lot to like. But you still shouldn’t put that much strain on your joint yet. You could’ve at least started with normal pull-ups, not the super-uber-strongman kind.”
His fingers start to work the button and zipper on my jeans, making quick work of taking them off. “I have been doing the normal ones. I had to work up to the weights, it’s been a while.”
I step out of my jeans and kick them to the side at the same time I give him a little push, only it was just for effect. It didn’t move him an inch. “How long have you been working out like that?”
Reaching around my back, he efficiently pops my bra. “Long enough. But trust me, I’m fine. I know my body.”
“I’m the physical therapist. I think I know better than you what your body is ready for.”
Grady pushes my panties down until they’re lying on the rest of my discarded clothes on our brand-new area rug. He’s just undressed me in record time.
“If you know my body better than me, then I’m determined to know yours better than you.” He leans down to kiss me as he twists my nipples, creating sensations in my lower belly that shoot straight between my legs. I rub my thighs together, because if I thought I was wet before, now I’m soaked.
When he releases my lips, I open my eyes and ask about his state of dress compared to my state of nakedness, “Are you not joining me?”
His hand runs down my tummy and his fingers slide easily between my legs, making my eyes heavy. “See? I knew you’d be wet. I’m getting to know your body better every day.”
I exhale and am forced to find my voice to point out, “If you told me to do something in my best interest, I’d listen to you.”
“You about done talking, baby? I’m in the mood to play with you. Trust me, it’ll be in your best interest.”
I shake my head at him, giving in, and he sees it. He grins as he takes a step back and sits on the side of our new bed, holding his hand out. “Come here.”
I put my hand in his and step toward him where he pulls me between his legs. His hands go straight to my ass and his lips straight to my nipple. I press myself into him as I moan and feel him squeeze me in his big hands.
He rolls his tongue around my nipple right before he pulls it between his teeth, biting down just enough for me to feel it everywhere.
I close my eyes and let my head fall back to enjoy every second of it, because I know with every ounce of my being that Grady would never hurt me. I feel it every time his eyes land on me, every time he touches me, and every time he tells me he loves me.
Every. Single. Time.
He sucks me into his mouth one more time before releasing me with a pop. His hands make their way up and down my ass and thighs when he looks up to me. His expression is heated, his eyes warm, and his voice heavy when he asks, “You gonna let me play?”
Oh.
I’ve lost my voice. Instead, I nod.
“Turn around, Maya.”
I close my eyes, but I turn.
Still standing between his legs, his hands start to move lightly on me. I lean back into him and melt.
“This is where it begins.”
I moan when he brushes a light finger over my clit, and I spread my legs just enough to let him know I want more.
