She nodded and as she watched him slip a condom onto his straining cock, Romy knew she had wanted this man from the first moment she had seenhim.
Blue hitched her legs around his waist. “Okay?”
She nodded and he smiled, pausing to stroke her belly, before she helped guide him into her. With one long thrust, he entered her, and Romy gasped with the thrill of him filling her, the rhythm that he found so quickly. She moved with him, meeting and holding his gaze until they were both trembling and panting for air. She tightened her vaginal muscles around his pulsating cock, making him groan her name. And as she came, her back arched up and she cried out as he kissed her throat, herbreasts.
Afterward, he held her as she tried to stop her body trembling, kissing her forehead and the tears that still lingered at the corners of her eyes from the emotion of everything. “Are you okay,piccolo?”
She nodded, stroking his face. “I am very, very okay. Surprisingly so. Should we have donethat?”
Blue smiled wryly. “Probably not … but I admit, I’ve wanted to do that since I first metyou.”
Romy was amazed. “Me?”
He laughed. “Yes, why is that hard to believe? You’re beautiful, smart, funny, the whole package. Whowouldn’twantyou?”
“But you could have anyone you want, Blue.Anyone.”
“And I want you, Romy.” He sighed. “Although I’m not naïve that this will be complicated, not just at work, but with ourfamilies.”
Romy groaned. “I didn’t even think about that … God. Maybe we should keep this,” she gestured to their naked bodies, “toourselves.”
Blue nodded, then grinned at her. “I’d like to keep your body all tomyself.”
Romy laughed as he covered her body with his, feeling his cock hardening again. “I’mserious.”
“Secret liaisons? That’s pretty hot.” He kissed her neck, then moved again to her lips. “I can’t get enough of theselips.”
She smiled, her mouth curving up as he kissed her, but when he broke away, her eyes were serious. “This is so complicated, Blue. You’re my boss to begin with, then there’s our families. I mean it. We should keep this between us … assuming, um, assuming this isn’t a one-night thing.” She blushed again, but helaughed.
“It isn’t, not for me, but I do agree with you. Maybe next time we’ll keep it out of the hospital, but tonight, heightened emotions, I needed this. I neededyou.”
Touched, she cupped his cheek in her hand. “You have me. Just … on the down-low. I can’t risk my career, Blue, as much as I wantyou.”
“I agree, Romy.” He sighed and leaned his forehead against hers. “And I hate to do this, but I have to be back on rounds in three hours and so doyou.”
“Yeah, we’d better go home. I mean to ourownhomes,” she added, smiling as hechuckled.
Somehow they managed to keep their hands off one another long enough to get dressed and walkoutside.
Down in the parking lot, he stole one more kiss. “You’re heavenly,” he said quietly, but with intensity in his eyes. “I’ll see you in a few hours. Take some time. I’ll cover foryou.”
Romy saw him watching her car as she drove away, her emotions in turmoil. The man knew how to make her body respond like no one ever had. More than that, he seemed to see something in her that she’d thought Dacre’s assault had stamped out permanently. There was a goodness to Blue, a tenderness to where it wasn’t just red-hot searing sex but also something more, even this very firsttime.
She wasn’t sure she’d be able to keep the secret, but it was sure worth giving it a damn goodtry.
Chapter4
At home,Romy set an alarm for two hours and fell onto her bed still fully clothed. She groaned when the alarm went off and hauled herself out of bed, finally discarding her work clothes and stepping into the shower. As she ate a quick breakfast, she flicked on the television and watched the reports of the murders. It was an awful idea but she needed to see it somehow, as though it helped atone slightly for being unable to save Yasmin. As thought it might help her understand evenslightly.
The four deceased young women,savagely attacked in their sorority house, have now been named as Rebecca Fulsome, 20; Oona White, 19; Madelaine Culpepper, 21; and the youngest victim, Yasmin Levant, who at just 18, died last night of her wounds at The Rainier Hope Hospital. Hospital officials say that their best surgeons worked tirelessly to save Miss Levant, but she succumbed to her injuries in the early hours of this morning. Police say the attacker broke in through an open window and attacked each girl in her bedroom, before leaving the premises. So far, no suspects have been identified, but the murders mirror a similar case in New York two yearsago.
Romy swallowedthe last of her cereal, feeling sick. She’d forgotten all about the murders in New York. God, there were monsters everywhere. She remembered her own personal monster, the midnight beatings, the forcedsex.
Rape. Call it what it was, Sasse. He raped you.Bastard.
She drove into work and was assailed by her friends, wanting to know about working with Blue in an emergency situation. Romy, exhausted, was grateful when Mac rescued her, shooing everyone away and bearing her off to the cafeteria. “Allende sent me. He saw you come in and knew you’d get caught by the pack. Damnhyenas.”
Romy smiled at him and at Blue’s thoughtfulness. “Mac, if it had been someone else but me, we would have been hyenastoo.”
