He wasflirtingwith her, and it was freaking her out. For a second, she imagined sayingWell, your half-brother just reamed me real good in a supply closet, but apart from that …“Nope. Boring, I know, but that’s me. We’re all done here.” She gave him a smile and pushed away from him. “The nurse will come to stitch youup.”
He reached out and took her arm. “Romy … thank you. To say thank you, I’d love to take you to dinner. What do yousay?”
Romy stepped gracefully away from his grip. “Well, we’ll see you at Thanksgiving in a couple of days, and I’m afraid I’m pretty much working untilthen.”
Gaius reached for her hand and kissed the back of it. Instead of the heat that flared through her when Blue touched her, Romy felt her skin go weirdly cold. “Then I shall have to be satisfied withthat.”
After he left,Romy felt unsettled. Gaius was all charm and politeness, but there was something underneath the façade, something that made her feel uneasy. She wondered if she should tell Blue that his brother had been in, but eventually decided not to. It was nothing, afterall.
She didn’t regret her decision that night when Blue dropped a sheet of paper in her lap as he was pulling off his tie. Blood tests. She scanned them and grinned up at him. “Dude, some of these tests take weeks. How did you managethis?”
“Well, honey, let me just say there’s a very happy guy in testing rightnow.”
Romy giggled at the mischievous look on Blue’s face. “Blue Allende, did you pimp yourself out fortests?”
“Kinda, but not in the way you mean. He might have needed half a week off for a family destination wedding and I might’ve pulled some bigstrings.”
“Allende, bribery?” she teased. “That’s all kinds ofwrong.”
“I know. I’m disgusted with myself,” Blue was grinning widely as he pulled her jeans off of her and knelt between her legs. Romy watched him lazily as he slid her panties down herlegs.
Romy hooked her legs over his shoulders. “Lick my pussy, doctor, or I’ll forget my promise to milk youdry.”
Blue, grinning, buried his face in her sex and Romy closed her eyes, moaning softly as his tongue lashed around her clit, then delved deep into her cunt. He made her come, then she made good on her promise, taking his cock into her mouth and sucking and drawing on him until he came, swallowing down hisseed.
Blue scooped her into his arms and carried her to bed, tugging off her sweater and his own, feeling her full breasts soft against his hard chest. He lay on top of her, gazing down at her, stroking the hair back from her face. “So … do we need to use a condomtoday?”
Romy shook her head. “I’m on birth control … let’s go for it. I want to feel you insideme.”
Blue crushed his lips to hers before slowly burying his cock deep inside her. Romy shivered and Blue groaned. “God, you feel good. Your cunt is so velvety,baby.”
They began to move together, Romy savoring every sensation that he sent through her body. A deeper connection was being forged and they gazed at each other, murmuring sweet words to each other as they made love. Romy tilted her hips up so he could go deeper, harder, digging her nails into his buttocks, urging him on. God, this man … his cock, so big, so thick, reaming her into submission, his intense green eyes soft with love, with desire, with fire, for her … Romy couldn’t quite believeit.
She cried out his name as she came, shuddering and trembling, then felt his seed explode out of him, filling her belly. This man, this incredible man … she wanted to scream at the top of her voice that she was falling in love with him, that he was her destiny, her dearestdesire.
But Romy settled for his sweet kisses, not wanting to spoil the moment with too-soon declarations. But she knew it was true; she was falling for him. Not just his handsome face, his glorious body, or the way he fucked her, both animal-like and yet so tender. It was his sense of humor, his utter lack of ego when he could rightfully claim to be one of the best, hisplayfulness.
More than anything, Romy felt she could trust him, and after what Dacre had done to her … it was a big thing forher.
She did tell him that she felt she could trust him (leaving out the parts about Dacre) and to her surprise, Blue looked utterly moved. “I’m glad,piccolo. I’m honored by that, and you should know … I feel the same. Whatever this is between us, whatever it becomes … you are my person. My lover, my muse, my best friend … and myfamily.”
Romy’s eyes filled with tears. “And you,mine.”
Blue kissed her tenderly. “Thank God you came home to Seattle, Romy. ThankGod.”
And they began to make love again, loving each other long into thenight.
Gaius smiled grimlyto himself as he sat in his car outside his half-brother’s apartment. He had followed Romy from the hospital and could hardly believe it when she drove here. He saw Blue come down to greet her, saw them kissing. So his bastard half-brother was fucking his almost- stepsister. Gaius’ gut churned with jealousy. Romy Sasse was beautiful, sweet, and ofcourse, Blue had gotten therefirst.
Damnyou.
Still, it would make for extra sport, Gaius grinned to himself. Romy Sasse had a whole lot of secrets that he would bet his life Blue didn’t know about. The abusive ex-husband, forone.
Dacre Mortimer. Son of New York socialites, a billionaire in his own right. So, Romy liked the money … that would be useful, although Gaius could see from the divorce papers that she had not asked for a penny from Mortimer, not even the prenup money she had been entitled to. That wasinteresting.
Gaius also knew Romy had been hospitalized a year previously as she was about to enter her last year of her residency program at Johns Hopkins. Smashed left femur, multiple wounds from a beating, bruised liver, and a burst ovary from being kicked in the stomach. Mortimer’s parents had done a good job hushing it up in the papers, but their son had gone to town on Romy when she’d asked for adivorce.
Why the hell had she married him? Gaius couldn’t figure it out but if he could find Mortimer, he would ask him. Romy had fled New York as soon as she was well enough and applied to Rainier Hope to finish her residency. A newlife.
