"Grace?" A male voice called from a distance. The leaves above me stirred, and I heard the sound of wood scraping against stone on the other side of my hiding spot.
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph," a feminine voice muttered. "Take the hint, will you?”
My eyes flew open. Even whispered, my intruder sounded desperate.
I nearly rolled off my bench when I saw her through the foliage, slowly creeping backward around the planter toward me.
I sat up. "Hiding from someone?"
Although I'd kept my voice low, my question had the most extraordinary reaction. She whipped around, but her heel caught in one of the flagstones, causing her to flail and trip toward me. I managed to catch her around the waist as we both fell back on the bench. My head cracked against the arm.
Fuck, that hurt!
But my discomfort was short-lived as I realized she was perfectly aligned on top of me. Her neckline gaped as she lifted her head, giving me a glimpse at her creamy breasts that pressed against my chest. My hands instinctively grasped her hips, and I had to fight the desire to pull them tighter into mine. My dick was more than willing to rise to the occasion, however, so I held her just out of reach of him.
"Grace?"
I started to ask about her stalker, but she slapped her hand across my mouth and shook her head, her eyes desperate.
So, I'm not the only one escaping.
I nodded my head slightly, and she removed her hand a few centimeters. The footsteps drew closer. Her body grew tense.
Ah, hell. I decided to intervene.
Before she could blink, I had my hand around the back of her head, pulling it to me. I lifted my head the short distance needed to make our lips meet.
"Oh, wow. I, uh...sorry."
The blubbering jumble of words and quickly retreating footsteps barely registered as I tasted my mystery woman, now known as Grace, for the first time. I'd only meant for it to be a meeting of the lips, a little soft flesh on flesh to chase off her wannabe pursuer. But one small touch and I longed to linger. Her body felt warm and pliant as she hovered above me as our mouths continued to caress each other's.
It was far from the most smoldering kiss I'd ever shared, but it was filled with the warmth of something new and tentative that begged to be explored. Savored. A little moan rumbled in her throat, and I was going to accept it as a signal to take our kiss to the next level, but the sharp click of a door shutting in the distance cut short my plan.
Her eyes flickered open to meet mine. They registered the same shock and confusion I felt. I'd never been moved by only a kiss before.
I only had about three seconds to appreciate how she felt every bit as scrumptious in my arms as I thought she might. Because just as I was about to speak, she started scrambling to lift herself from me. Her palms heaved against my chest while her knee drew forward for leverage. She missed her mark. Instead, it landed right in my crotch. Hard. I saw stars.
There was no way I could stop the tears that filled my eyes as my balls desperately sought refuge inside my body. I curled into a fetal position and somehow managed not to fall on the floor. I wasn't as sure I wouldn't throw up.
Talk about a mood killer.
"Oh, my gosh! I'm sorry!" It sounded like she was tap dancing near my head. "What can I do? Ice? Massage? Wait, I mean, not that. Of course, not. I don't know why I said that. That would be seriously inappropriate." She continued to pace while I sucked in gasps of air.
The nausea receded enough that I croaked, "Give me a minute. I'll be all right." I was impressed the words came out without being an octave higher than normal.
Her weight settled on the bench near my feet. "I am sorry. First, you scared the crap out of me, and then, you, uh, startled me again."
"Yeah, for a few minutes just now, I thought crap was going to come out of me, too. Literally." Testing my ability to move, I slowly sat up. "It's okay. It was an accident."
She covered her mouth, but it didn't stifle her giggle. "I'm sorry." Her words were muffled. "That's a completely inappropriate response. I have no idea why I did that." She dropped her hand into her lap. "This is a little awkward, isn't it? But at least there were no witnesses to your inabilities."
"My what?" I stared at her.
"You know, your inability to catch me, how you let me fall on you instead. If you had better reflexes, we wouldn't be here in this little situation, would we?"
I was about to give her an earful about being accountable for her knee when I noticed the sparkle in her blue eyes and the twitch of her lip.
"You're laughing at me? Are you a sadist?"
