He smiled as he thought of Suzy finally admitting that she loved him. God, how long had he waited to hear those words from her? There had never been a time when he’d needed to hear them more. He missed her now, but he knew she was right. He was being torn to pieces trying to shelter her feelings while trying to figure this mess out here. As long as he knew she’d be there when he came home, he could handle anything.
Chapter Eighteen
Suzy walked in the door of Gray’s beach home. Nick followed, carrying her bags through to the bedroom. Even though she’d argued with them, he and Beth were insistent on staying with her until Gray was back. Since she’d be returning to work tomorrow, she didn’t really think it mattered either way. At least they had put their differences behind them and didn’t argue as much. Nick still called Beth ‘princess,’ but she just shrugged it off.
They had stopped on the way home for dinner and she’d managed to eat enough of her food to keep the two mother hens off of her back. “Guys, I’m beat so I think I’m going to go straight to bed.”
Beth looked at her as if assessing her condition and asked, “Need any help, sis?”
Suzy gave her a smile knowing that she was worried about her. “I’m good; I’ll see you in the morning. You better get some sleep too; I heard the bitch is going to be back at work tomorrow.”
Nick’s laughter boomed out, following her into the bedroom. She’d always loved her sister, but since her injury, they were closer than they had ever been. Nick had also wormed his way into her heart and he’d turned into the brother she’d always dreamed of borrowing leather from.
She sat on the edge of the bed, fatigue pulling heavily at her. Just as she was trying to find the energy to shower, her cell phone rang. She saw Gray’s name on the caller ID and felt a thrill run through her body as she answered the call. “Hey, slick.”
With a chuckle, Gray said, “Hey baby. I miss you.”
Suddenly the fatigue in her body was replaced by a rush of heat at the husky tone of his voice. She tried to keep the conversation light to take his mind off of everything that had happened earlier. “I miss you too and that hot body. Ohhhh the things I’d do to it if you were here.”
“Oh God, don’t say that while I’m so far away. You can’t imagine what I’d do right now to taste your sweetness and to feel you clench tightly around me as I drive into your beautiful body.”
Suzy could feel her body catch fire as the erotic words flowed over her. Her ni**les puckered and her body hummed, desperate for his possession. She tried to keep the need from her voice, protesting lightly, “Hey, no hitting out of bounds, slick, no one likes a tease.”
“Ah honey, you’ll soon see that though I love to tease you, I always follow through on my promises.”
For her own sanity, Suzy managed to keep the conversation away from sex, because if Gray mentioned anything remotely sexy again in that low voice, she’d probably come right there holding the phone. They both carefully avoided any mention of Reva and her pregnancy knowing neither of them could handle anything more tonight.
“I love you, I’ll call you tomorrow. Be careful going back to work. Make sure that either Beth or Nick drives you and helps you all the way to your office, ok?”
Rolling her eyes, Suzy said, “Yes, mother.” When Gray’s laughter subsided, she quietly added, “I love you too.”

Suzy moaned as fingers caressed her sex, rubbing leisurely back and forth across the sensitive nub. Another moan was torn from her throat as a hand at her breast tweaked her nipple then tugged the peak between insistent fingers. Dimly she was aware that it was still night outside and apparently she was in the throes of one hell of a dream. When she felt an erection push against the curve of her bottom, she started to stiffen; surely she wouldn’t be lying here thinking she was dreaming if she actually was. My God though, it seemed like hands were all over her body, she was burning with arousal and suddenly as a finger thrust into her heat, Suzy knew in a moment of panic that were way no way she was dreaming.
Just as she started to scream, Gray whispered in her ear, “I’ve got you, baby.”
“Gray? What’re you doing here?”
“Shhhh, don’t talk, just feel.”
Suzy was powerless to resist as the heat continued to build in her body. Gray gently lowered her fully onto her back and came up on his knees never removing his finger from inside of her. He added another finger and she moaned, helpless to control the shudders rippling through her body. “Oh God, Gray, that feels so good.”
“Let go baby, I want to feel you come.”
Gray applied pressure to her clit with his thumb and increased the thrusts of his fingers. Suzy felt her body beginning to clench as her orgasm started to crest.. He thrust harder, his fingers riding out the storm and wringing every last ounce of pleasure from her.
Suzy thought she’d black out. Stars exploded behind her lids as she tried to hold on. When Gray finally removed his fingers, she slumped back against the bed in delicious fatigue. She felt skin on skin contact as Gray lowered his body against hers, careful to keep his full weight off of her. She felt light kisses teasing her eyelids and trailing down her neck as Gray whispered in her ear, “No sleep yet, baby, I came all of this way to put my ball back in bounds.”
Suzy rolled out a deliciously wicked laugh at his reference to her earlier comment. She saw the bedside clock glowing two in the morning and she knew that he must have gotten straight in the car after they talked. She ran her fingers through his soft hair, and pulled his head down to hers for a kiss that was pure sex. Gray’s mouth took possession of hers, demanding that she hold nothing back. Heat slammed into her core as her body tightened in need.
Their tongues met and Gray nipped her bottom lip with his teeth, as if he wanted to devour her. He trailed kisses down her neck finally reaching the puckered tips that were begging for the warmth of his mouth. As he sucked a stiff peak inside, Suzy took the hand that was resting on her neck and brought it to her lips. She ran her tongue over his palm and as Gray groaned and flexed it, Suzy kissed each of his fingers. When she reached his thumb, she sucked it in her mouth simulating his suction of her br**sts.
Gray stiffened, throwing back his head and groaning. “Oh my God, baby, you’re killing me.” She nipped his finger on the tip and he jerked back, freeing his thumb. “If you don’t stop that, there is going to be a premature release of the ball, baby, and I don’t think either of us wants that.”
