Page 144 of A Very Naughty Christmas

Once the tub was filled, Derek lowered her into the warm water and began to gently wash her, even pulling the handheld shower attachment down to take care of her hair.

The sheer sweetness of being taken care of so thoroughly made her eyes fill again. What would she do if this man ever decided he didn’t want her anymore? She was overwhelmed by his care, the overload of pleasure he’d sent through her body, and his dominance. It was everything she’d ever wanted and yet… it frightened her to the depths of her soul.

“Uh-oh, come here, baby, let’s get you out of there,” Derek said, pulling the plug and lifting her from the water as he wrapped her in an oversized bath towel. He stood her between his legs as he briskly rubbed her dry, wrapped a smaller towel around her hair expertly, then enfolded her in one of his bathrobes.

His scent wrapping around her soothed her frayed nerves and once again she found herself lifted into his arms. Derek carried her into the living room and set her on the couch. “You sit right here for a minute, baby; I’ll be right back.”

Kendra shivered, suddenly feeling cold as she watched his naked ass leave the room. Derek had a beautiful body, why on earth would he want to be with her?

Before she could ponder that further he was back with a bottle of water and what looked like a chocolate bar. He lifted her back up long enough to sit her on his lap and then put the bottle to her lips. “Drink, baby.”

She was surprised by how thirsty she was, draining the water almost immediately.

“Do you need more water?” he asked.

Kendra shook her head, feeling sad for some reason she didn’t understand. “Why do I feel this way?”

“Sub drop, baby, I’ve got you,” Derek told her, feeding her some chocolate before lying back with her back to his and pulling a blanket over them both.

The chocolate melting on her tongue was so delicious, Kendra almost rolled her eyes back at the decadent feel of it dissolving on her tongue. “Can I have some more?” she asked,feeling incredibly greedy.

Derek immediately gave her another square, clicked on the television, and started the movieYou’ve Got Mail.

Kendra snuggled in, starting to feel a little more normal, comforted by his arms and the familiar movie.

Chapter Six

They snuggled on the couch for hours watchingYou’ve Got Mail,While You Were Sleeping, andHere Comes the Boom. Kendra had no idea how he knew her favorite movies, but he did and played them in almost the exact order she would have.

Between movies he left her on the couch while he made them frozen pizza, which he insisted on feeding her when it was ready.

When the credits rolled forHere Comes the Boom, Derek was stroking her hair. “You want another movie or bed?”

“I don’t want to move, it’s so cozy here. Can we watch something else?” she asked.

“How about an old Doris Day movie?” he asked with a grin.

Kendra sat up with a frown. “Okay, mister… how is it that you know my movie preferences so well and have them on hand?”

Derek actually blushed. “Martha told me.”

Martha was their receptionist and Kendra’s best friend in the office. “Martha told you my movie preferences and you went out and got them?” she asked incredulously.

“Of course, it was always my plan for you to end up in my bed… in my home. I love you, Kendra Jacoby, I have from almost the first moment I saw you and it is my intention to hold you tight and never let you go,” Derek said, catching her chin between two fingers and sitting up to kiss her startled lips. Then he lay back down with a smile. “What do you say to that?”

She blinked, feeling rather bemused but happy with his words. Happier than she’d been in a long time. “Do you haveThe Glass Bottom Boat?”

Derek laughed, shaking his head. “The Glass Bottom Boatit is, your highness.”

Kendra watched as he got up from the couch and replaced one disc with another before sitting back down and rolling her against him as he lay back. “I can be patient. You’re worth waiting for, but eventually, little girl, you will be mine.”

She suppressed a shiver at the certainty in his words; the doctor had her in his sights and had given her fair warning, a state of affairs she found she didn’t mind at all.

About halfway through Doris Day and Rod Taylor’s romantic antics, Kendra made a decision. Sitting up, she pressed a hand to Derek’s chest so he laid flat on his back, then she scooted down until she was between his legs.

“I want you to rest before I take you again,” he said firmly.

“You aren’t taking me this time,” Kendra informed him. “I’m taking you. I intend to suck your cock, Doctor. Do you plan to cause me any trouble in this endeavor?”
