Page 49 of Blushing Bride

In my heart, I already knew she was.

Her eyes fluttered closed.

“Goodnight, my sweet girl,” I murmured. As I pulled away, I realized that she was already fast asleep. With a satisfied sigh, I returned to my apartment and pushed the door between them closed.

I didn’t lock it.

I woke up the next morning to find Naomi next to me in bed.

As much as I shouldn’t enjoy waking up that way, I did. Her body was warm against mine. Her bottom was nestled against me, making my cock rock hard.

I wanted to flip her flat on her back and slip inside her. I wanted to punish her with my cock for risking sleeping in my bed.

I glanced to the door, finding it still shut and locked like I left it. I curled my arm around her waist and kissed her cheek gently. She groaned quietly, trying to turn away and cocoon even further beneath the covers. She blinked her eyes open and looked back at me with confusion.

“How? But I…?” she asked.

“You snuck into my bed last night, naughty girl,” I said, keeping my voice gentle. She blushed when she realized that she wasn’t wearing any clothes, and neither was I.

“I don’t remember…” she began but her explanation tapered off. I chose that moment to kiss her, not really caring if she did it on purpose or if she had sleepwalked all the way here. Either way, it didn’t really matter.

She had chosen me.

“I need you to go get dressed before I do something I regret, Dr. Vaughn,” I murmured. My tone had turned more serious now. I didn’t want to be the man that took her virginity and then walked away when this was over. She deserved so much more than that. She was the kind of woman that deserved the world.

When she didn’t move right away, I cocked up my right eyebrow.

“Do you need your little pussy spanked to remind you that I expect to be obeyed?” I warned. She blushed enough to make her whole face turn red, but she reluctantly did as she was told.

Honestly, that made my cock so hard that it hurt.

I watched as she tiptoed back into the other apartment, her bare little bottom far too pale for my liking.

I liked it bright red, especially before I fucked it.

I threw my head back with a groan. The moment she pulled the door closed, I hopped out of bed and put on my clothes, tucking in my rock-hard cock to the best of my ability. There was no time to do anything else before there was a knock at the front door.

“One minute!” I yelled out. I pulled on my boots and practically ran to answer it. Seth and the others were waiting. They already looked annoyed.

Fucking fantastic.

“Hope you slept well,” I offered, trying to maintain some modicum of professionalism, at least for Naomi’s sake. She might have to work with these guys one day back home.

“It was better than sleeping on the ground,” Seth replied flatly.

I really didn’t like him. I stood there and grinned while I imagined the sound he’d make if I kicked him straight in the nuts.

We walked out to the center and Naomi joined us several minutes later. Neither of us mentioned the night before as we continued the search for the fusion reactor. We made our way down several floors, taking note of a variety of interesting things along the way, including a pressurized room that could simulate underwater situations or the lesser forces of gravity in space. I’d never come across anything like it.

When we reached the bottom level, we found that the entryway was locked. It looked like a scanner was the only way inside.

Naomi passed a plastic badge in front of it.

“Where’d you find that?” I asked.

“It was on the counter of my apartment, so I thought I should grab it. I’m glad I did,” she winked, the glee written all over her face. I could hear the mechanisms working from behind the walls and the door slid open, allowing us to continue inside. It was clear that we were finally in the right place. I collected several solar cells knowing that they’d be useful, all while continuing the search for the fusion reactor and the equipment here was associated with the building of several components of either one.
