She brought the last of the dessert dishes to the sink. Being back in her one-bedroom flat above the shop felt different. Phantom left five minutes prior, and Doc was currently chatting with her two best friends in the living room. The sun set hours ago, and she was thankful her friends took the day off work. Staying here long term wouldn’t work, and running the shop was impossible to do from Colorado.Plus, it looks like Orla and Niall took over most of it.
Rinsing the ceramic cups, she placed them to the side. While she loved Doc, she couldn’t give up on her fashion dreams. Queenie suggested she design clothes for Macha’s stores and Doc wholeheartedly agreed, but Isa wasn’t so certain.What if we return to Colorado and we don’t work out?
She worried her lips together, staring out the window into the darkness. A lone light shone in the distance from a lighthouse. The view usually calmed her. The beacon of hope in the moody night. Tonight, it did nothing to resolve her tension.
“Niall and Orla left.”
Turning, Isa took in the sight of Doc walking into the kitchen. He overwhelmed the small space, his wide shoulders seemingly larger in his green T-shirt. His cut was lying on her bed, but he kept his bike boots on all night. While he hadn’t brought his handgun overseas, he didn’t need it to protect her. He’d proven that multiple times since they met. His love was all she needed to be safe.
“Thanks for playing host.” She grinned. “I’m sure it was difficult at times. Orla and Niall can be a handful.”
He kissed her temple. “No more than you.”
Hugging his torso, she carefully leaned in to him. Ever since the shoot-out, she’d been terrified to do anything more than light caresses.
He kissed her head and moved to the bedroom. “You coming to bed?”
“Soon.” She pointed to the sink. “Dishes don’t do themselves.”
Doc frowned and grabbed her hands, moving her away from the sink. “I’ll take care of those in the morning. Right now, I want to take care of you.” He searched out her eyes. “You gonna fight on this, princess?”
She smiled. “It’d be pointless.”
“Glad you’re finally seeing it my way.” He narrowed his eyes and suddenly lifted her off the floor. “Because it’s the only way.”
She laughed as he walked her into the bedroom and plopped her on the bed.
“Get undressed.”
She cocked her brow and almost made a snarky retort until he tore off his shirt. The dim light from her bedside lamp beautifully cast him in a muted glow. His muscles appeared more defined, his tattoos almost shimmering in the cool air. Not remembering to turn on the heater had a few advantages, the main one being that Doc would keep her warm all night long. A scar on his side reminded her of the past months and his bravery. She’d never forget how he’d protected her and how he continued to do it each and every day.
Sitting up, she slowly pulled off her wool sweater and bra. He watched with rapt attention, his eyes darkening with each article of clothing lost. When she had nothing left on, she stood by the end of the bed, long hair covering her peaked nipples. Lust lingered on his face, his eyes darting along her body.
“Are you sure you’re up for this?” She crawled on the bed and sprawled out, arm holding her head up. “Because you could always just watch me.”
Doc hissed a breath, a muscle in his cheek twitching. “You sure I was your first?” He kicked off his boots and the rest of his clothes.
“I said I was a virgin, not a nun.” She crooked her index finger at him.
Instead of immediately obeying, he leisurely ran his fingertips along her legs. His touch sent goose bumps across her skin, the sensation too good to deny.
“You know why I like your sassy mouth?” he asked, bending over and kissing the inside of her thigh.
Isa’s breath hitched as a bundle of nerves shot straight to her apex. She shook her head, thoughts suddenly muddled.
Doc slowly positioned himself between her legs. “Because we both enjoy the punishment.”
Before she could reply, he wiggled his brows and flipped her on her stomach. She gasped when his palm connected with her arse once, then twice, the singeing pain only turning her on more.
“Doc!”
“Yes, princess?” He kissed up her spine.
“Do it again.”
“Nah, baby, can’t spoil you already.” He kissed the side of her neck. “I think that’s enough for now.” He nipped her bottom lip. “I’m going to show you exactly how rough I can be, princess.”
“I’m ready.”
