Page 71 of Taking Chances (Healing Hearts 1)

I forced myself to get up, heading downstairs I jumped in the shower, covering my broken arm with the waterproof protector the hospital had given me. As I was attempting to wash my hair one handed, I heard the door to the bathroom open, screaming, I tried to pull the shower curtain around my body.

“Baby it’s me. I’m sorry I scared you.” Mason said, walking closer to the bath. “I forgot my cell…” He trailed off, his eyes roaming over my body, the shower curtain failing to cover me. I felt my face flush under his gaze.

“Sorry. I thought you’d left, I thought…”

“You thought it was Amber, didn’t you?” I nodded. “She’s gone Lib, you don’t have to worry about her.” He pulled his t-shirt over his head and started to unbuckle his jeans.

“Mason, what are you doing?”

He looked up at me, his eyes hooded. “I can’t go to work knowing you’re here, wet and naked in my shower. It’s been a long week without you baby.” He climbed into the bath and gently pushed me against the tiles. I gasped as the cold hit my skin.

He brought his head down to mine and kissed me slowly, his teeth nipping my bottom lip. I opened my mouth, and his tongue swirled with mine. He pulled away, kissing around to my ear. “I’ve missed you so much, Lib.” He whispered, his breath tickling my skin. I moaned, unable to form any words. He kissed me again as his hand found my breast, his fingers rolling and teasing my nipple. My head fell back against the tiles as his fingers continued their sweet torture, creating a pulsing sensation between my legs.

“Mason…” I moaned against his lips, needing more from him. I felt his hand move from my breast, caressing down my stomach. As he reached between my legs he pushed a finger inside, using his thumb to stroke me.

“Does that feel good sweetheart?” He breathed in my ear.

“Mmmhmmm.” I murmured, pulling his mouth to mine and kissing him urgently.

“I need to get a condom Lib.” He muttered as he pulled out of the kiss. “Don’t go anywhere.”

He turned to get out of the shower, and I reached for his hand to stop him. “Mason, wait,” I said, pulling him back to me. “I’m on the pill…” Hesitating, I bit down on my lip.

“Are you sure? I was checked after Amber, I’m clean baby.” I nodded my head and pulled his wet body back into mine. He picked me up, pushing me back against the tiles and I wrapped my legs around him. Positioning his erection, he slowly eased himself inside me, I gasped at the sting and the feeling of being stretched. The pain soon turned into pleasure as his thrusts increased, a familiar sensation building between my legs.

“You feel so good Lib.” He moaned, kissing my neck.

Using the wall to hold me up, he moved one of his hands and brought it back to my breast, rolling my nipple between his fingers. His breathing quickened as his thrusts became more frantic. My whole body was on fire and sensing that I was close, he bent his head and whispered in my ear. “Come for me baby.”

His words pushed me over the edge and I cried out his name, my orgasm triggering his own and I felt him jerk against me a couple of times, his breathing laboured against my neck. He brushed his lips against mine. “It just keeps getting better sweetheart.” He murmured, shaking his head.

“I love you,” I told him, not breaking eye contact.

“I love you too.”

He smiled and gently dropped my legs so that I could stand up. I reached my good hand out to the wall to steady myself, my legs feeling like jelly. “Let me wash you Lib, it can’t be easy with your cast.” I smiled gratefully at him as he reached for the shower gel, inhaling deeply as he washed my body. I smiled, loving that I was going to smell like him all day. I heard him chuckle as he watched me.

“What?” I protested. “You smell good!” He shook his head and carried on washing me. “I hope I haven’t made you late?” I asked him, worried he would get into trouble, especially after having to take time off to follow me home.

“You’ve definitely made me late, but baby I don’t care. You’re worth it.” He kissed my nose and reached around me, turning the shower off. “Let’s get you dry.”

He dried every inch of me, wrapping me up in the towel. I then stood and watched him dry himself, his toned body on full display. I swallowed and pulled my eyes away, knowing he’d be even later than he already was if he caught me looking at him like I wanted to devour him. “I really need to go baby; I’ll pick you up from the house at lunchtime.” He pulled me towards him, kissing me softly on the lips.

I nodded. “Okay… thank you for helping me.” I said shyly. He winked at me as he left the bathroom.

I spent the rest of the morning sunbathing in the garden with Savannah, she’d organised a shopping trip for uni supplies and a girl’s night out within ten minutes of me arriving. She was convinced that I needed a whole new wardrobe for uni. That girl definitely loved to shop!

Savannah had grilled me, asking to know everything that had happened with Mason while we were in England. I hadn’t asked her what had happened with Amber while I was away, I trusted what Mason had told me, and as long as Amber was gone for good, I didn’t need to know anything else.

Mason arrived not long after we’d finished talking and dropped down into the seat next to me. “Hey, baby.” He said, kissing me.

“Hey,” I replied, smiling at him.

“You ready to go?”

“Yep. Where are we going?”

“You’ll see, come on.” He said, pulling me up from my chair. I turned to wave to Savannah who was grinning at me.
