Page 89 of Accidentally in Bloom

He found her earlobe and started again. “You should see my other tricks.” His arms came around her, squeezing her tight as their mouths met again. Their legs wound through each other’s, and Rose felt the next wave of need ignite in her.

She finally ranged her hands over his back, firm with muscles, and felt him smile again as she grabbed his ass.

His grin was quick and hot as his eyes met hers. She found the buckle on his belt and, without leaving his gaze, undid his belt and slid down his zipper. She felt his breathing go shallow as he held himself off her.

Holding his gaze, she licked her palm and wrapped her hands around his cock. She triumphed as his eyes rolled back in his head.

“God,” he ground out. He threw his head on her shoulder. She stroked his length and felt him exhale against her. Feeling the same need, she pulled his pants down, and he kicked off the rest of them. He grabbed a condom and rolled it down over his cock, she clenched her pussy, wanting him inside her.

His cock pressed into her, and their bodies molded against each other. Rose reveled in the skin-to-skin contact against him as they stilled. His hand came up to her face, and he wrapped his other arm around her, holding her close. She felt like she’d found the other part of her she didn’t know was missing. The part that maybe loved her just like this entwined with him. She sighed into the curve of his muscular shoulder and inhaled that scent that felt like home, placing kisses as she went.

So this is what making love was like, she thought. Mind-wrecking, soul-bending love.

He caught her mouth in a deep kiss, tongue playing with hers as he thrust slowly against her. Her nose drew down the length of his, feeling a sparkling spun web of tenderness so foreign to her.

“I need you, Gray,” she said into his mouth. She wrapped her legs around him tighter and pulled him closer so she wouldn’t ever have to let go.

He locked eyes with her and dove a hand between them. “Say it again,” he growled. Hunger in his eyes clawed at her, and he drove her mad, stroking her clit slowly.

“I need you,” her voice barely a whisper. She felt tears tug at the edge of her eyelids as their eyes met, searching one another. His lips captured hers before his head fell to her shoulder. His fingers interlaced with hers as they moved slowly, grinding each drop of pleasure out of each other.

Each brush of his chest against her tits felt like a stroke of happiness, of acceptance, as he thrust harder and harder into her. His thick cock stretched and filled her.

“Spread your legs, honey. I need all of you,” He grabbed her leg around his arm, spreading her wider and thrusting deeper. He kissed her, picking up speed. His mouth took hers as he seated himself, and she felt the breath leave her body at the fullness.

He ground against her hard with each thrust, and finally, Rose felt the surge of white-hot pleasure rip through her as Gray’s thrusts went hard and long against her. They tumbled over the edge together, and Rose felt a piece of her heart attach itself to the man she loved.

GRAY

Gray heard a buzzing pull at the edge of his lucid dream. He relived last night with Rose as she lay safely tucked in his arm. She needed him.

The buzzing stopped, and he shifted her closer to him, his cock hard again for her. He pulled her soft curves against him. He let his hand wander along her stomach, and it made its way up toward her breast as the buzzing started again.

Fuck. My phone.

He turned over and grabbed for it on the marble nightstand. It was barely seven. Sleep was doused from his body as he saw six missed calls and three frantic texts from Violet. He swiped to answer.

“Violet?” he croaked in a sleepy voice. “What’s going on?” Rose was still fast asleep in his arms, out like a light.

“Gray.” He heard a tremble in Violet’s voice through the phone. “Someone’s padlocked the store.”

He sat up, extricating his arm under Rose’s neck and giving her a gentle shake awake. “What do you mean? Bloom’s locked?” He rubbed a hand over his face.

“I came in early to get a head start for the Lopez consultation, and every door has a giant lock on it with Do Not Enter tape over it. There are fliers posted all over town about us going out of business. It’s so embarrassing.”

“Okay, Rose is still asleep. We’ll be there in ten. Get in your car, lock it, and don’t say anything to anybody. Got it?”

“Okay.” She let out a shaky breath, and he hung up the call.

He turned to Rose. “Honey,” the term of endearment escaped his lips before he could stop it. “Rose honey, you gotta wake up.” She was out cold but groaned and started stretching with a harder shove. “Something’s happened with the store.”

She sat up instantly. “Everyone okay? Vi? Lily?” She cracked open her eyes.

“Everyone’s fine, but the asshole is back. Someone put a padlock on the door to Bloom. They can’t get in. Violet said there were notices everywhere. We’ve got to go.”

“Fuck.” She tossed over the covers and grabbed her phone. “Twenty-seven missed calls.” Rose threw on her clothes.

Gray grabbed a shirt and threw it over his head. They were yanking on clothes as fast as they could. “Duke, come on. I’ll meet you down at the car.”
