Chapter Eleven
Grace
I slipped my key into the lock, opened the door, and flipped the light switch.
It had been a long day, and I was tired.
As I was taking off my shoes, I heard my phone ringing from my purse.
I grabbed it, but didn’t recognize the number, so I didn’t answer it.
A few moments later, a voicemail came through, and I listened to it.
“Grace, it’s Sam. I’m assuming you blocked my other number since none of my text messages will go through.
I know you told me not to contact you, but I had to.
We need to talk now. I’m sorry for everything.
But the one thing I’m not sorry for is loving you.
I still love you, and I always will. Please call me.
I know we can work this out. I’m not giving up on us.
You’re too important to me. Please tell me which hospital you’re working at now.
If you don’t want to, I’ll meet you anywhere you want.
Regardless of which state it is. Things are changing.
I promise. I know my promises don’t mean anything to you after what I’ve done, but I need you to trust me on this. Please, call me.”
The sound of his voice made my stomach churn as anger filled me.
I deleted the voicemail, blocked the number, and threw my phone on the counter.
Damn him. Why couldn’t he leave me alone?
I raked my hands through my hair as I paced around the apartment.
Walking to the refrigerator, I pulled out the wine and took a sip from the bottle.
Suddenly, my phone dinged with a text message, and my heart sank to my belly.
Looking at it, I saw that I had a message from Jamieson.
“Just wondering if you might have changed your mind about that drink?”
I took another sip of wine from the bottle as I stared at his message.
I thought about his smile, which was constantly in my head.
Damn him for having such a sexy smile. Thoughts of that night played in my mind, and my body started to react.
The flutters I felt below took over, and I needed something to make me feel better.
I needed some awesome sex, and I knew Jamieson could give that to me.
Was the risk worth it? Was the sex worth breaking my rule?
I took another drink, set the bottle down, and picked up my phone.
Fuck it. It was only sex. He wanted nothing more from me, and I wanted nothing more from him.
“Yeah. I did change my mind. Come to my apartment, and we can have that drink. I’m in apartment 3C.”
“I’m on my way.”
I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, and put the wine away since I was on call. I went to my bedroom and changed into a pair of gray sweatpants and a white tank top. I wasn’t getting dressed up for him when I knew my clothes would be coming off pretty much when he walked through the door.
About twenty minutes later, my apartment buzzer rang, and I pushed the button and let him in. I opened my door just as the elevator dinged, and he stepped off it.
“Hi.” He smiled as he walked down the hallway. “I’m happy you changed your mind.”
The minute he approached the door, I grabbed his shirt and pulled him inside, smashing my mouth against his.
“Whoa.” He grinned as he broke our kiss.
“Just shut up and fuck me,” I spoke as I unbuttoned his shirt.
“Grace, are you sure?”
“Keep talking, and I might change my mind.”
His lips met mine as we locked into a passionate kiss. My fingers successfully unbuttoned his shirt as I slid it off his shoulders. He bent down and swooped me up in his arms.
“Where’s the bedroom?” he asked.
“Down the hallway. Second door on the right.” I kissed him again as my arms wrapped tightly around his neck.
He set me on the floor in front of my bed as his fingers grasped the bottom of my tank top and pulled it over my head. My body was on fire as my skin trembled at his touch. He kicked off his shoes and took down his pants as I slid mine off my hips and stood there in nothing but my bra and panties.
“You are truly beautiful.” He smiled as he brought his hand up to my face and gently kissed my lips.
He wrapped one arm around me, and with one swift movement, he unclasped my bra and took it off, letting it drop to the floor by our feet.
Our tongues collided as he reached for my panties and slid them off my hips, wasting no time dipping his finger inside me.
I gasped as his tongue traveled to my neck and softly stroked it while his finger explored me.
My hand wrapped around his hard cock, and with a firm grip, I moved it up and down.
A moan escaped him, turning me on more than I already was.
“My God, you’ve got me so hard,” he moaned.
He took my hand and removed it from his cock, and gently laid me down on the bed.
His mouth traveled to my breasts as he took each hardened nipple in his mouth, rolling his tongue around, heightening the vibrations that needed taming down below.
I let out several pleasurable moans as his hand traveled down my body, and once again, his finger dipped inside.
Once he had pleasured my breasts, his tongue slid down my torso and kept going until it reached my clit.
The things this man could do were indescribable.
He took me away from this world and put me into a place of euphoria as my body quivered and an orgasm soared through me.
He brought his mouth to mine, letting me taste myself on his lips before climbing off me and putting on a condom.
I was still trying to come down from the orgasm when he slid himself inside me.
My legs wrapped around his waist as he slowly moved in and out.
Light moans took over both of us as he hovered over me, and our eyes locked onto each other.
There was something at that moment that frightened me, but I quickly pushed it out of my mind and enjoyed the fulfillment he was giving.
He pulled me up and rolled me on top of him so I could be in control.
My hips moved back and forth as his hands fondled my breasts, and I leaned as far back as I could.
This was exactly what I needed, and I didn’t care about the consequences at that moment.
The only thing I focused on was how good he made me feel.
“You’re going to come again. I can feel it,” he moaned as his hands gripped my breasts.
I let out a loud moan as another orgasm tore through me.
He waited until I was finished and then locked my hips down with his hands and thrust in and out of me as hard as he could until he exploded inside me, straining with each sexual moan that came from him.
I leaned down and softly kissed his lips before collapsing on his body.
We were both heated as our skin melted into each other’s.
My heart was racing, and my breath was erratic.
As soon as we both settled down, I climbed off him and laid my head on my pillow.
The corners of his mouth curved upward as he brought his hand to my cheek and softly stroked it. Neither one of us said a word.
He climbed out of bed and disposed of the condom in the bathroom. I watched as he walked back into the bedroom, his cock still semi-hard.
“I can stay if you’d like,” he spoke.
“Sure. It’s late, and we both have to be at work early.”
He climbed under the covers and wrapped his arm around me.
“I think this was a hell of a lot better than a drink.” He smirked. “What happened to you, Dr. Harper?”
“I was horny, and since you’re the only guy I really know in Los Angeles, I used you. Plain and simple. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I needed sex, and I knew you would give it to me since you’d been practically begging for it since I got here.”
He let out a chuckle. “Okay, then. I don’t mind being used by you. But what happened to your rule?”
“I guess I broke it. Just because we had sex doesn’t mean things need to be awkward with us at work, right?”
“Of course not. There will be no awkwardness on my end at all.”
“Good, because there won’t be any on my end either. I’m going to sleep. It’s been a long, hard day saving lives, and I have new residents joining me tomorrow, so I need to be sharp and ready for them. Plus, I’m on call tonight.”
“New residents, eh?” He laughed. “Good luck with them. Good night, Dr. Harper.”
“Good night, Dr. Finn. By the way, no one is to know about this. No one at all. Understand?”
“I totally understand. My lips are sealed.”
I rolled over as his arm stayed locked around me. As I closed my eyes, regret started to seep in. What did I do?
