Page 16 of Rescued By the Guard

I study her sexy heart-shaped lips, the cute button nose, the soft round cheeks, the perfectly arched eyebrows and the longest lashes. There’s not a single doubt in my mind I’m in love with this woman. Knock me over the head with cupid’s arrow and have me throw her over my shoulder and drag her away and keep her to myself, kind of love. And I don’t want it any other way.

The morning light descends into the hospital room, and I may not have gotten any sleep, but I’ve never felt more restful in my life. It’s like I’m invigorated and ready to start my life with Bella right now. The only thing is convincing her I’m the man for her.

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I pull it out, hoping it doesn’t wake Bella. It’s a text from Eric.

Eric: You survive the storm? Ready to come here now?

Me: Survived. Staying put for a while. I’m going to take extended leave and file my papers. I’m out.

Eric doesn’t waste any time, instead of texting, he calls. I send him to voicemail and text back.

Me: I can’t talk now. I’ll explain later. Just know I found my purpose and I’m holding on to her for dear life.

The dots bubble on my screen, and Eric’s message pops up.

Eric: Seriously? Well shit, that’s awesome. We can’t wait to meet her. Call me when you can. Maggie has a million and one questions.

I smirk, knowing Maggie may have a ton of questions, but Eric is the reporter, and he’ll overtake the conversation withevery question after every sentence I utter. He’s too damn curious for his own good.

Powering down my phone, I don’t want it to disturb us again. I put it on the nightstand and curl around my woman, and finally I’m able to rest my eyes and fall asleep. The last forty-eight hours have been rough and the best of my life. However, having everything settled brings peace over me.

I openmy eyes and Bella lays in front of me awake and she smiles at me as we lay facing each other. I pull her in closer and rest my forehead against hers.

“Morning.” My voice is rough from disuse, and I close my eyes as I inhale my woman.

“Afternoon,” she giggles.

“What?” I snap my eyes open and look out the window, and sure enough, I see the sun has risen in the middle of the sky. The hospital hallway is lively, and there’s a lunch tray sitting beside the bed. “Shit. I’m sorry Bella. You should’ve woken me up.”

She rests her hand on my chest then circles her palm and the need to purr or growl or something wants to override me because it’s way too good.

“Don’t be ridiculous. You needed your rest. You’ve only been getting power naps since I met you. You needed as much sleep as possible. The nurses are so kind and noticed too, so we made sure you got some.”

I sink further into the bed and against Bella. “Hmmm, you’re gonna need to stop stroking my chest like that.” It’s intoxicating, and it’s got my dick harder than when I woke up. I try to keep my hips back, so she doesn’t feel me pressing against her. Butmostly so I don’t begin rubbing all against her like a stud out in the pasture.

Bella’s cheeks blush as I gaze over her face, and I’m relieved to see the stress isn’t so tight around her eyes and there’s no fear staring back at me. She looks young, like she’s supposed to. And happy.

She slows her touch down but moves closer to my nipple and she caresses it and I moan. It’s so good having her hands on me. She gazes up at through her lashes. “Why is that?”

I grip her waist tighter and want to curse the hospital gown for being in the way, as I want to caress her skin.

“You’re playing with fire right now, baby.”

Lust pools in her eyes as her breath quickens.

“What if I love to play with fire?”

The sultry silkiness in her voice has me becoming more animalistic with every second and I drag her body against mine and she gasps as my hard cock digs into her soft belly and I peck her lips as I seek permission to devour her.

“Oh, hello.” She smiles, and she lowers her hand down my chest and circles her hand along my abs.

My hands roam over her curves and my cock is becoming more demanding than I would like. I’m no longer concerned we’re in a hospital, or that I should speak with her doctor about her care, or that we should take this slow because she’s been through an ordeal. All I know is she is my woman. I need her. I need to claim her, so there’s no doubt she’s mine and I’ll always take care of her. It’s a driving need I’ve never endured before, but it’s turning me into more of an animal than man and I’m not sorry for it.

I crash my lips against hers and swallow her taste as I fantasize doing the same thing between those gloriously thick thighs.

Soft little mewls escape her as I roll on top of her and sink my hips in between her thighs. One of her legs wraps around me and her hands move from my front to my back as I get a handful of her breast in my palm, but even with my large hands she still overflows, and I moan against her mouth.

Her small hands wander all over my back and ass and she even grabs a handful herself and I jerk my hips forward. I kiss down her jaw and tease her neck as she gasps when I reach a spot below her ear. I smile and suck there, stroking her with my tongue and nipping, only to soothe it with soft kisses. My Bella’s breath hitches faster, and I love how I found a pleasure spot for her. I can’t wait to find more.
