I didn’t want her to leave, and that thought alone was fucking with my head.
“You should come with me to Fresh Start to see the boys this week. Duncan is going back home on Friday,” she said.
Terrence had reached out to Ruby after our visit, and she was going out there to work with the kids whenever she could. She had her afternoons free before she went to the bar, and she was volunteering there.
“I’ll see if Cassie can clear my schedule in the afternoon. You’ve been going out there a lot, huh? You like it?”
“Yeah. I hadn’t planned on going daily, but I made a schedule, and you wouldn’t believe how many of them signed up to talk to me next week. I think they’re just wanting someone to tell them that they’re going to be okay.”
“And they all have big, fat crushes on the hot doctor.”
“You’re ridiculous. I like talking to these kids. I feel like it’s making a difference, you know? Terrence said they’re talking more about their futures now, as well. So it feels good.”
“Look at you, Queenie. Out there, making a difference in the big, bad world.” I kissed the top of her head. “Did you send the contract back to the university with the changes I made?”
I’d looked over the contract that the dean had sent over, and the wording was vague, so I’d made a few suggestions for her before signing it.
“Yeah. They didn’t seem thrilled that I’d requested the wording to be changed, but they said they’d get to it after the holiday weekend,” she said. “I don’t think they expected me to have an attorney on hand.”
“Not a bad thing to have, eh? And contracts can be complicated. You always want to have an exit strategy because you don’t know where life is taking you most of the time.”
“Is that what you do? Have an exit strategy at all times?” she asked.
“I always know how to leave a situation I don’t want to be in.”
“Do you think it’s because of losing your parents so young? You don’t like to get too comfortable?”
“Are you analyzing me again, Dr. Rose?”
“I mean, I am in your bed. You gave me free legal counsel. The least I can do is tell you what I see.”
“And what is it you see?” I asked, thrusting against her as my morning wood was aching with her hot little body pressed against mine.
Her hand slipped between us, as we were both naked, which was how I preferred it when I was with Ruby. She stroked me a few times, and I groaned.
“I see a man who fiercely loves the few people he lets in. But he doesn’t trust easily. He doesn’t like most people, but the ones he likes, he’ll walk through fire for them. And he has the sexiest eyes and a very impressive dick.”
A gruff laugh escaped my lips, and I ran my hand up the side of her hip before cupping her breast. I flicked her nipple with the tip of my thumb, then rolled her onto her back and settled between her thighs.
She sucked in a breath, both hands on each side of my face now. Her eyes searched mine for something, but I didn’t know what.
“Tell me what you want,” I said. Because I’d fucking give this girl the moon if she asked me for it. I’d do whatever it took to put a smile on her face every goddamn day if I had the chance.
“I want to feel you. All of you.” Her lips parted, and her gaze was wet with emotion. “I’ve never been with anyone without protection. And I’m on the pill. I’ve just always doubled up.”
“I’ve never been with a woman without a condom either. Never actually wanted to before now.” I’d always feared being trapped by someone. Never trusted anyone enough to go there. But I trusted Ruby. I wanted Ruby in a way I’d never wanted anyone. “But I want to feel all of you, too, Queenie. Every goddamn inch of you.”
“No catching feelings, Wild River,” she whispered.
“I can turn them off when it’s time. But right now, I want to feel all of it,” I admitted, and a single tear ran down her cheek. I swiped it with the pad of my thumb. “No one’s stealing your puppy. No one’s hurting your father. This is just two people who want to have sex without a condom. Don’t go freaking out on me.”
She smiled. “I won’t.”
“You ready to take all of this with nothing between us?” I asked, thrusting the tip of my dick against her core.
“Yes,” she hissed, as her head fell back, and she squeezed her eyes closed. “Please. I want you right now.”
I flipped her over in one fast movement so I was lying on my back and she was straddling me. Her hair tumbled around her shoulders, falling across her luscious breasts. I gripped her hips and lifted her, and she slowly slid down my erection, inch by motherfucking inch.
