Grant knew instantly when she finally fell asleep, and he relaxed, letting any tension he had flow out of him.He didn’t think he’d ever tell her how hard it was for him to be away from her, even for a few days, and the risks he’d taken with his business to get back to her faster.He hadn’t damaged his business and lost millions of dollars, but at the time, he hadn’t cared.
He’d also turned down assignments from the Society, something he’d never done before.When his friends in the Society found out about Jennifer, they understood and backed off for now.Several knew exactly what he was feeling, and it helped them understand better.It didn’t mean he’d never do another assignment for the organization.He just had time off for the moment.
He prayed that the more he had her, the tighter he tied them together, which would slacken his obsessive need for her and help him relax.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
The first thing Jennifernoticed when she awoke the next morning was that she was draped over Grant’s naked chest, and the heat of the subdued morning sun was coming through the thin drapes that covered the lower half of the bed.The second thing was the hand that was slowly stroking her from her ass to her shoulder and back again.
“Good morning, love.”
The sound of Grant’s raspy morning voice sent an instant ball of need and desire in her body and made cream seep from her cunt.She raised her head, met his piercing stare, and cleared her throat.“Good morning.”
Nothing moved for long moments, but his hand continued its slow path up and down her back, and his eyes registered the expression on her face.
“Are you hungry, baby?”
Her stomach chose that moment to gurgle, making Jennifer blush, and both chuckled.“Yeah, I guess I am.”
Grant raised a hand, pushed the riot of hair from her face, and smiled.She was so damn beautiful.
“Then I guess I’d better feed you.But first, I know you’re not going to like it, but I’m going to check you out and make sure I didn’t injure you in any way last night.”
A blush slid over Jennifer’s face, and she shook her head and tried to move away.At nighttime, it was embarrassing, but in the daylight, it mortified her.“No.Absolutely not, Grant.”Jennifer pulled the blanket over her, hiding her nudity, when Grant sat up and swung his legs to the floor before he turned toward her.
His eyes softened, and his voice hardened.“We can do this the easy way, baby, or the hard way, love.But I’m going to check you out.I’m worried.You groaned a few times in your sleep last night.”
Jennifer dragged in a shaky breath.“Well, don’t be.I feel fine.”
Before she could blink, he had her rolled and pinned under him with the blanket trapped between them.“Please, Jennifer.I would feel better knowing you’re okay.”Grant waited for her nod before he tugged the blanket away from her lower half and gently pressed a thick finger into her, watching her intently the whole time.
She couldn’t mask the flinch as he pushed through her tender folds and up into her tight channel.
He stilled instantly as worry crossed his face.“See, you’re not okay.”
“Grant, I’m fine, please don’t worry—”
