Say Please (Say Something Book 2) Read online

  “Sure, I could go for some.” She smiled at me and I returned it. She was pretty. I brought her hand to my lips, kissing it before setting it back between us and letting it go to drive. I didn’t need both hands, but touching her was fucking torture with the hard-on in my pants. And I needed all the blood to my brain as much as possible. “Great. I’ll order it when we get there.”

  “How far is it to your house?”

  “About five more minutes. I live just down the road from Angel. I bought the house when they got theirs.” I think she was secure around me because I was close to her patient, so I wanted her to feel even more so.

  From the corner of my eye, I could see her biting her lip. “She told me you met because you were married to her mother.”

  My face paled instantly. “Oh fuck, she told you that?” I bemoaned, squeezing my hands tight around the wheel until my knuckles whitened. I decided to do a good thing in my life after Sally because I felt like I had to make up for being a big fucking douche. That shit had a way of coming back to bite me in the ass.

  She pressed her hand to my shoulder, patting it gently. “We all have pasts, Ted. I’m not some naïve virgin. I understand that. Tell me have you been married more than once?”

  “Yes,” I replied nervously, completely afraid of her reaction.

  “Really?” She obviously didn’t care much for that.

  “Yes. I wish I didn’t marry her, but I was young, stupid, and way too angry. We’re here.”

  “Did you hit her?” Fuck, she got the wrong impression. I’m twice as large as I was back then, but I’d never lay a hand on a woman, not even the black widow broad.

  “God, no!” I exclaimed, looking at her like she slapped me herself.

  “Oh shit, I didn’t mean like that. You said you were stupid and angry.”

  “No, I cheated on her.” And then it was like I slapped her. Stupid fucker, I thought to myself, but that shit was better to get out of the way now. I wanted my past behind me completely, so far that I lost it and it could never come back.

  “Oh,” she let out softly.

  “Fuck,” I grumbled to myself, pulling into my driveway and the open garage. I turned off the engine and jumped out. Then she stepped out hesitantly. I tipped her chin and looked deep in her eyes. “Katie, I did what I did because I was stupid and angry. She cheated on me and I found out right before the wedding. I was pissed and instead of calling it off, my biggest regret, I spent four years married to a woman I hated. She kept up her affairs until she got sick.”

  “From messing around?” Great, now she thought I was contaminated.

  “I don’t have any diseases. She got breast cancer and it was aggressive. I stayed with her until she died, but it was too late for any friendship between us.”

  “Wow, that’s so much to take in. I can’t even process it right now.”

  “Good, because I want you to do something else instead. Hold on a sec,” I said, going to the back seat and taking out the grocery bag. I locked the truck and with her hand in mine, led her into the house.

  “Wow, this place is freaking huge. I hardly noticed it when we pulled up, but it is.”

  “Thanks, I picked it so one day if I have a family, we’d have the space.”

  “You want a family.”

  “A big one, like I never had.” I regretted my need to show her I could be a gentleman, because she blushed, lending a bit of innocence to her provocative beauty. “Okay, doc, come with me.” I led her up the stairs and into my bedroom. She froze for a second. “Relax, I said this isn’t anything sexual.”

  “Okay, then why are we up here?” I raised my hand, telling her to wait a moment. Then I ran into the bathroom and started the bubble bath, testing the water. When I returned, she was looking around the bedroom.

  “You’re going to take a bath?”

  “No, Katie. You are. Come on.” I took her hand and tugged her along. “Wow, this is one hell of a bathroom. It’s bigger than my bedroom,” she admitted.

  “Well, soon this will be your bathroom.”

  “You’re so sure of yourself.”

  “I don’t know if I can walk away anymore. From the moment I saw you, I felt my heart being lost to you.”

  “Ted, I don’t know about this.” I was coming on fucking strong, but there was no way I’d let her slip through my fingers.

  “Take a bath and relax. You need it. You’ve been on your feet all day.” I pulled out some towels from the cabinet and left them on the edge of the sink. “And if it makes you feel better, I haven’t had sex in five years.”

  “What?”

  “Yes, well. I’ve hated my choices and thought it wasn’t worth the frustration or added guilt.”

  “You’re a complex man, Ted.” She stared, taking me, trying to figure me out. I’d give her all the time she needed, a lifetime in fact.

  “Just holler if you need me,” I said, smiling modestly.

  “Okay,” she replied, waiting for me to leave before she started to undress. I walked away as best as I could. The thought of her being naked in my bathtub didn’t help the hard-on I’d been trying to control all day. Now to order a bunch of food so maybe my overeating will stave off this monster in my pants.

  Chapter 4

  Katie

  Holy hell. He’d left two minutes ago and I hadn’t moved an inch. The thought of him running a bath for me as a date night was strange and freaking wonderful all at once. Who does that? I dated my ex for three years and never once did he bother to think of what I needed.

  Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, I shook off the bad memories, then undressed and stepped into the extremely comfortable bubble bath. I could smell the strawberries and saw the CVS bag on the counter. I smiled to myself and relaxed. I needed this more than I thought. How did he know I liked this scent?

  Goodness, I was glad I didn’t have any kids puke on me today; that would have been a turn off for sure. It didn’t happen often, but there was a fall bug going around. Everyone was getting sick and I ended up catching the brunt of it during an earlier shift. I love my career. Being a doctor had always been my dream, but it was tiring. My feet did ache, and I was starving. All I’d managed to eat today was a granola bar.

  I closed my eyes and absorbed the warm feel of the water caressing my skin. I wondered if Ted would step into the bathroom to watch or even try to join me. I knew he wouldn’t, but a girl could fantasize. The man was handsome, but and it was a big one, he wasn’t above infidelity. I’d been down that road and it hurt more than I’d care to admit. No one likes to be cheated on no matter what they claim. Ted explained his reasoning behind it, but could he succumb to temptation again? Could I give it a chance and, if it didn’t work, just end it? Or should I just make this our one and only date? I pondered all these questions until I heard a buzzer.

  “Wow, how long have I been in here?” I asked myself, washing my body and rinsing off before pulling the plug and stepping out. I wrapped one of his very fluffy towels around me, forgetting that I didn’t have anything to change into. I was going to have to put my dirty clothes back on or steal something of his because I wasn’t staying in a towel all night.

  I left the room and grabbed my bag. Just then Ted knocked on the door. “The food is here. I laid out a pair of boxer shorts and a t-shirt. Sorry, I didn’t think about what you’d wear.”

  “Thank you, I’ll be down in a minute or two.” I heard him walk away from the door and back down. I dressed quickly because my stomach growled loudly, and I wanted to see him again. As much as I thought about his past and the mistakes and choices he’d made, I have to understand he was younger and foolish and hasn’t been with anyone in a long while. My past wasn’t laced in hearts and flowers chockful of innocence either.

  I slipped his clean gray shirt over my head, loving the feel of the material because it was his and it was broken in. Damn, I was acting foolish. This was just one date and I wasn’t a dewy-eyed school girl. I didn’t even think about his cock
resting in these boxers. Okay, maybe once or twice before I slipped them on, but that was it. Now, I had to act like a mature adult and not a horny teenager. I ran my hand over my face as if to wipe away the dirty thoughts. Then cross my fingers it would work.

  I left the room, leaving my things there and not giving it a second thought. When I got to the top of the stairs, I saw him standing at the bottom on his phone. “Just prepare for the wedding. I’m going to marry her.” He was wearing a Bruins shirt and a pair of joggers with his feet bare. That was sexy. My heart was in my chest, hearing him say something like that. I gasped which alerted him to my presence. “Jackass, I’ve got to let you go. Give my love to Angel and little man.” He hung up and smiled as I came down the steps nervously. “God, you look so damn fuckable in my clothes. Let’s eat before lose my mind.”

  “I think it’s for the best. I’m a doctor, I took an oath to do no harm.”

  “You could kiss me and ease the crazies coming to life in my brain.”

  “I suppose if it helps.” I rose on my tippy toes and kissed him briefly before pulling away. He grabbed my hand and led me to the living room with a massive TV mounted on the wall. Damn, being a doctor paid well, but I was still dealing with student loans, so I barely had a thirty-two inch. The coffee table between the sofa and TV was filled with at least ten large boxes of Chinese takeout.

  “Do you want a beer, soda, milk, or water?” He let go of my hand and instantly the loss was felt.

  “Um…milk will be great,” I stammered, his broad chest stretched out the shirt so I could see all his muscles. I looked down and lifted my eyes quick. The joggers did nothing to hide his hard cock.

  “Give me a sec. Take a seat and start helping yourself, okay?” I nodded and grabbed one of the glass plates he must have set up while I was enjoying my bath. I got a big whiff of the beef and broccoli and filled my plate with some white rice. I could smell a pineapple chicken dish and helped myself to that too. Man, I didn’t realize how hungry I was.

  “Here, sweetheart.” He smiled and placed the glass in front of me on the table. “So, what do you want to watch?”

  “Why don’t you put the game on?” I asked.

  “I’ve got it recording.” He brushed off my attempt to please him.

  “Put it on,” I snarled at him.

  “You like hockey?”

  “Nope, never actually watched it, but you seem to be a Bruins fan and I hear this game is a big one against New York. The girl at work was talking about getting home in time for it,” I said, answering the question in his eyes. I may not watch it, but I knew a majority of the teams. My father loves sports and we used to watch a lot of it when I was home.

  He hit the button for the DVR and started the game, then leaned back on the sofa. I tucked my feet under my legs and placed my plate on my lap. The food was incredible, but the fact that Ted had his eyes on me most of the time made it hard to eat.

  “Do you plan on watching the game or me?”

  “I can’t help it. You’re fucking gorgeous. The way the fork slides past your lips has me distracted.”

  “Watch the game or I can just call a cab and go back to my car,” I threatened. I didn’t want to leave, but I couldn’t have him looking at me because I was about to toss our plates and jump him.

  “Fine, I’ll watch it.” He turned and did just like he promised, and I regretted it. The loss of his attention was regrettable. Once I ate my food, I set the plate on the table in front of me and focused on the hockey game.

  I couldn’t find the puck most of the time. I wondered how the refs could tell if someone crossed the line before it did. It was exciting to watch deflections by the goalies, though. The fights amused me because they allowed it. Other than actual matches, athletes weren’t allowed to fistfight.

  By the end of the first period I was jumping out of my seat, rooting for the Bruins. I caught Ted glancing at me several times with a pleased grin. I could totally get used to watching this with him. We didn’t finish half the food, so I helped him put it away.

  We carried the containers into the kitchen with our plates. I set them in the sink, then started washing. He came up behind me and placed a kiss on my cheek. “Thank you, babe.”

  “You’re welcome,” I said a little breathy. I turned my head to look at him and couldn’t stop myself from kissing him.

  Chapter 5

  Ted

  As soon as her lips touched mine, I lost all my willpower. One hand cupped her ass, pulling her close while the other thrusted into her hair, tugging her head back so I could dominate her. I moaned against her mouth before skimming my teeth along her jaw and down her neck, sucking on her skin and tasting her. Her hands pressed against my chest and slid up my neck and into my hair.

  I pinned her to the edge of the counter, my hips grinding into hers. She sighed then tugged on my hair, wanting my lips again. Whimpers fell from her as she did, and I stole the rest, slamming my mouth back on hers. I slid my hands under her shirt and up her back. Her soft skin felt so good under my fingers.

  “Take me, Ted,” she whispered between breaths.

  “Say, please,” I ordered, no way was I taking her unless she needed it.

  “Please,” she begged. Fuck, I growled. I pulled down my joggers, unleashing my cock that was born ready for her. She reached for hers and pushed them off. I lifted her shirt over her head and wrapped my arm around her waist, then she went for my shirt. Her hard nipples could be felt through it, tempting me to the brink of madness. I bent down and took a peak into my mouth, sucking on the hardened bud of sensations. Her back arched, and her mound rocked into my cock, soaking it with her wet pussy. I reached down between us and stroked her folds and nub.

  With my joggers down to my knees, I replaced my fingers with my cock. I claimed her body. Her claws dug into my back, but she didn’t stop grinding on my dick. Fuck, her pussy was tight as hell. I kissed her parted lips, sucking in her bottom lip. She ran her hands up and down my back as I drove up into her.

  We fucked hard against the counter, one thigh wrapped around my ass and the other held up in the crook of my arm. “Fuck, yes. Mine, Katie. You’re mine. I saw the way you looked at me with my nephew. I’m going to put my son in you right now,” I informed her. There wasn’t a thing between us beside the beads of sweat that dripped down our skin. Her breasts were pressed into my chest as I fucked my kid inside her.

  “I didn’t plan this, but fuck, I can’t stop.”

  “Me either, please don’t,” she moaned, clutching onto my biceps and tossing her head back. I took advantage of the position, leaning in and marking her neck. I was a man possessed and fuck if I could stop. I didn’t give two fucks that I was pinning her next to the sink. I’d make up for this later. She needed her pussy marked and there was no time like the present for it. I wrapped her other leg around my waist as well. I needed my hands free to roam over her perfect breasts.

  “Uh, more,” she grunted, my cock getting deeper and deeper with every thrust.

  Our eyes met, and I demanded, “Come for me, Katie.” I circled my thumb around her hard nipple, then added my finger to pinch her peak. Her core clenched around me; my cock feeling like it was going to break in her grip, but I wanted more and more. Nothing had ever felt this incredible.

  “I’m coming…Fuck. Ted,” she screamed as she came on me.

  “Yes, that’s it. I’m coming with you,” I roared, bending down and taking her mouth again while I rocked my hips, emptying every ounce of cum in her pussy. I stretched my hands out behind her, one on the edge of the sink the other on the counter, catching my breath while my head rested on her chest.

  “I’ll give it to you. You’re one hell of a lover, Ted.”

  “Only for you. Fuck, nothing could ever compare.”

  “I don’t know, let’s wash up and see if you could match it.”

  “For you, anything.” I pulled out of her and slipped my joggers up while she put the boxers back on. Before she could try to put on
the shirt, I threw her over my shoulder and carried her to my bedroom.

  “What about the hockey game?”

  “Babe, right now the only scoring I care about is ours.” She giggled until I had her on the bed, thrusting back into her. Fuck washing up, I wanted as much cum in her pussy as I could get. By the time we were screaming out our next two orgasms, showers were forgotten, and we passed out. I couldn’t wait to wake up to Katie in my arms.

  Chapter 6

  Katie

  The next morning my exit was swift. I left my number on the dry erase clipboard on his fridge before hopping in the cab that I called to take me to my car. Since it was Sunday morning, it wasn’t long before I got to my apartment. Regret hit me like a Mack truck the moment I stepped in the door.

  Ted managed to strike a chord inside me I didn’t know actually functioned. I had my parents’ love, but I never craved another person’s affection like this. I hadn’t been with anyone in four years. I’d been on dates, but hadn’t gone the extra mile to sleep with anyone. Aidan had been it. He destroyed the urge in me to be sexual. As I studied and finished med school, then my residency, I considered having a baby just to have one, but after seeing my parents love for each other and the individual things they taught me, I knew a baby needed two parents which meant having a child was going to be put on hold.

  Ted, even with his sketchy past, made me want a family. Apparently, so much so that I had unprotected sex last night. I stopped taking birth control over a year ago because I’d given up on dating altogether and didn’t want to pop pills for nothing. I’d get a prescription filled for more soon.

  My apartment felt empty and soulless all of a sudden. I’d never had a problem spending time in my small place until now. I walked into my kitchen and poured a glass of water. I was completely dehydrated from the salty food and the sexy fun. As I started to drink it down, my phone rang. It was somewhere in my bag, so by the time I got it the call ended. Then it rang again. I didn’t recognize the number, but it was the same area code as mine. I answered it with a simple “Hello.”
