One More Night (3 page)
Time, conversation disappeared, Nate found it almost difficult to breathe. There wasn't any way she could hide what she was thinking or feeling. It shone so clearly from those big silver gray eyes, he was about to reach for her hand but the loud blaring honky tonk music filled the room. He growled and wrenched his eyes from her to check his watch.
His body itched with excitement, and he turned to grin back at her. “Don't you have to get ready for work?”
Only when eye contact was broken could Cooper finally throw off the strongest sexual attraction she'd ever felt towards this impossible dark man. When he asked her a question, her brows shot up and she smirked. “Sorry to disappoint you but we're a little more old fashion around here. I'm afraid if you want to see a strip show you best head back home.”
Damn it, she played him for a fool again
Nash thought, and he should be furious but for some reason he wasn't. He leaned across the table and captured her hand. “Good because I like my shows private.”
Cooper knew exactly what he was saying and swallowed hard, she needed to get out of her and fast she warned herself, and pulled her hand from beneath his. “Look I have to go. I've got to start work at six. I promise to let you know Sandie's results.” She placed her bottle of beer on the table and rose to her feet.
Blast it
, she was going to fight it, well what else should he expect from this crazy woman Nate thought, as he to stood. “Fine, but I'm here to the end of the week anyway, so maybe we can have dinner tomorrow night?”
The end of the week
, oh God, how was she ever going to keep this wanting inside her if he was going to hang around?
She couldn't
, she ignored his invitation and hurried away. No way, no way could she spend any more time with this man without jumping his bones.
FIVE
Now what was wrong with the damn infernal woman, Nate silently muttered as he trailed her out of the bar? He caught up with her beside her car. “What in the hell is wrong with you now? I only asked you out to dinner, not invite you to share my bed.”
Cooper couldn't look at him and searched her bag for her keys. “I can't. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow night.”
“Fine, I'll call around Sunday then. Now though can you point me toward the nearest motel?” For the time being, he knew it was pointless to try to persuade her into his bed tonight,
nonetheless, it wouldn't be long before he did
.
Her gaze flying to his, Cooper groaned. “You mean you haven't booked in?” When she saw him nod, she fished in her mind for somewhere for him to stay, but came up empty handed. “I hate to tell you this but the motel is probably booked up because of the wedding.”
Nate frowned down at her. “Well there must be somewhere else close by?” he saw her shake her head. “Damn. What am I supposed to do,
sleep in my car
?”
Oh Lord, Cooper mumbled to herself as she dragged her gaze away from his to catch her breath. Darn it, he didn't give her much option and even though she panicked at the thought, what other choice did she have. “You can sleep on the couch.” Without another word or glance at him again, she unlocked her door climbed in and started the engine.
What in the hell was she thinking?
Nate smiled smugly as he hurried to his own vehicle and sat behind the wheel, he followed her home and all the while the adrenaline in his body increased. Whatever fool was getting married, he would gladly shake his hand for this opportunity. His hunger and anticipation growing, he swung into the driveway of her home and cut the engine. Without wasting any time, he was out the door, locking the car and following her up on the porch.
While trying to fit the key in the lock, Cooper kept telling herself this was utter madness. But God help her, she'd been without a man for so long and just as long that she felt such heady attraction towards one. All the way home she fought with herself, and in the end she decided why not.
Why the hell not?
One night, two at the most and it would be over with.
Impatiently, Nate waited for her to open the door when seconds ticked by and it didn't, he snatched the key from her hand and did it himself. With his hand on the small of her back, he propelled her forward and slammed it shut behind them. When she spun around to face him, he wrapped his arms around her, lifted her off her feet and claimed her mouth with his.
The kiss was more potent than she could ever imagine and Cooper whimpered, she slipped her arms around his neck as she pressed herself more firmly against his hard muscular body.
She felt like a delicate feather in his arms, and Nate knew he needed to ease up, but when she wrapped her legs around his hips and returned his kiss with wild hot passion, he lost all rational thought. Under her skirt one hand slid up the outside of her thigh, until he reached her hip, and pulled his mouth free. “Where's your bed?” He asked between harsh breaths.
"Now, now. Oh God here and now."
Cooper gasped out before she grabbed the back of his head to pull it forward and meet his mouth with her own.
Nate groaned as his tongue wrestled with hers. Somehow he didn't know how he managed it, he undid his pants, freed his throbbing erection and shifted the edge of her underwear out of his way. He brought her down and impaled her in one powerful thrust. The unmitigated pleasure that swamped him was immense; he let out a loud growl that she captured within her mouth.
When he drove into her, Cooper thought she might faint from the sheer shattering of the experience. She tore her lips free from his, and sucked in air.
"More, oh God, more please."
Nate shifted around and pressed her back against the door. “Oh yes more, much more.” He whispered before his mouth claimed hers again and she started moving up and down the aching length of him.
Cooper didn't have any other thought in her head but the throbbing awareness building inside her. Each rough thrust inside her body, she eagerly welcomed. Unaware she groaned and moaned, pulled on his hair, dug her nails into his shoulders beneath his shirt. She could feel the release building and stretched to reach it.
Out of control, Nate rammed himself into the woman with one hard powerful stroke after another. He could feel her body tightening and with another growl, plunged deeply one more time, and sent them both over the abyss of rapture and into a whirlpool of ecstasy.
Her world splintered apart, Cooper tore her mouth free from his and gave a soft scream as her world toppled over and she floated in a mist of rapture.
Still shaken from something he'd never experienced before, Nate hid his raw emotions behind a smiling mask. “Well damn me Doc.”
Even though embarrassed, Cooper couldn't find any regret in what just happened, and grinned back. “Is that all you've got big boy?”
Nate tossed his head back and laughed, the woman was a marvel he thought and stopped laughing, and was once again captured by her smoldering eyes. “Not by half baby. Just show me your bedroom and I'll prove it to you.”
Her heart raced with excitement, why not she thought, one, two days tops and he would be out of her life forever. “Upstairs; the first door.”
All ready growing hard within her, Nate had no intension of pulling out, once they reached her bed would be soon enough. And it would be only until they were both naked. This little woman who surrounded him kept surprising him at every moment, and he was eagerly looking forward to more.
While Nate carried her upstairs, Cooper buried her mouth against his neck and couldn't stop herself from licking and tasting his salty warm flesh. Never before could she ever remember acting so out of control, but she didn't care. Her tongue came out and licked him again, and smiled when she heard him groan. She planned to make him groan a lot more very soon, because she intended to share and experience everything she could with this man.
She'd never encountered such instant attraction towards another man before, not even her first lover or her second. Yet this powerful man who carried her in his arms still joined to him, was something totally different than she had ever felt before and she planned to enjoy every moment of it while it lasted.
The woman was driving him nearly to the brink of madness, Nate thought as he stepped into the bedroom and spied the bed. He strode forward and kneeling down on the mattress, claimed her mouth with his as he laid them both down. Sudden need over rode everything else, and he started moving within her.
Every time he stroked himself inside her, he could hear the slick wetness, he could feel every time she clamped around him and flood with her juices as she climaxed. However, even though she came time and time again, he wasn't finished with her yet. He wanted the ultimate climax from her and he would have it.
Cooper twisted and sobbed, he was driving her out of her mind with his relentless thrusts, each time she climaxed she thought the torture would be at an end. But how wrong she was, the last powerful deep plunge sent her nearly mindless with rapture and she wrapped herself around him as it washed her away.
Nate gave a wild growl when she finally let herself go and joined her in the final release into ecstasy, his body undulated as he spent his seed and lightly collapsed on top of her. Breathing harshly, he buried his face against the side of her neck and felt the erratic beat of her pulse
. Not bad for an old guy, he thought with pride.
Totally overwhelmed, Cooper couldn't quite let go of the big body covering hers. Even though they were still completely dressed, she could still feel every sinew and muscle of his body twitch and clench. She couldn't help but think that this was madness, but it was the most devastated utterly glorious madness she'd ever experienced.
And she definitely wasn't ready to give it up just yet
.
Nate's usually sharp brilliant mind was blown completely to pieces, he couldn't at the moment put a rational thought together. But one thing he did know he was in big danger.
Danger that was spelt with a capital D
, he would have to get a grip on this situation and fast. He rolled off the woman and just before he could swing his legs of the bed, she followed and wrapped her tiny little body around him.
He swore silently, but still placed his arms around her holding her close, he didn't do this sort of thing so why was he doing it now, he thought in bewilderment. Once he and the woman shared sex and they were both satisfied, he was out of there.
So damn it, why was he still here?
Confused and annoyed, he let out a harsh sigh and closed his eyes. It was a pity, he'd just experienced the best sex in his life and he was going to have to give it up.
It was a great shame he admitted reluctantly, but this smart mouthed little mite would never fit into his world. She may be a doctor and intelligent, but she didn't have an ounce of refinement in her.
He couldn't argue with that fact
, look what she did today, and after the fiasco she caused at the office proved his point. She deliberately led him on tonight, besides insulting him again, but embarrassingly enough she thought she needed to protect him.
Another moment and he would have had those two idiots flat out on their backs, but oh no, she would have to turn up and think she had to save the day.
Talk about humiliating.
God, she was the most annoying woman he'd ever come across, and yet to his horror the most sensual wild creature he had ever taken to bed.
He was going to have to get a grip on this mad uncontrollable attraction that was between them,
and he better do it fast
. One more day, two at the most, and he was out of here and this woman would be forgotten.
No hassles, no dramas
.
Out of sight out of mind, he told himself
and yawning he confidently fell asleep believing that he would be free of this little pocket Venus once he left her behind.
SIX
When she heard the even breathing, Cooper opened her eyes, letting out a soft sigh, she could only shake her head in wonder over her behavior. Lord knew what the man would think of her now.
She practically demanded he make love to her
. She screwed her nose up and cringed, not practically, she did. How totally embarrassing, she acted like a starved sex maniac.
Letting out another sigh, she shifted away and relieved that he never stirred, slipped of the bed and hurried into the en-suite. Closing the door, she turned on the light and faced herself in the mirror. Face flushed, her lips swollen and her eyes slumberous, she could only shake her head at her image. It was the first time in her life, she acted so outlandish, and she could scarcely believe what happened.
However, looking at herself in the mirror there was no denying it, and anyway she couldn't. Her body was so sated and relaxed that she was positively boneless. Grimacing at her image, she turned away and turning on the shower swiftly removed her clothing and stepped under the water, and sighed in contentment as the hot water sprayed over her. Using the plunger on the soap dispenser, she filled her hands with liquid soap and lathered it over her body.
While she soaped and rinsed she frowned, what was she going to do with the man sleeping on her bed when she went to work in the morning? What's more, what was she going to do with him while she went to the wedding?
She couldn't leave him alone. All alone with Sandie.
She didn't have any idea what his cousin looked like, but if he was anything like the raw potent male tucked in her bed, no way could she leave him unaccompanied with her sister.
Her shower finished, she turned off the taps and stepping out, she picked up a towel and dried herself. He was just going to have to find somewhere else to spend the day and evening until she came home from the wedding.
If he didn't like it, well that's just too bad.
Yawning, she tossed the damp towel in the hamper and slipped her nightgown on. Turning out the light, she opened the door and moved across the floor, slid onto the mattress and rolling on her side cuddled up to big warm body taking up so much of the bed and fell quickly into a satisfied sleep.
