Running To You (14 page)

“Yes, eventually, I will stay. Um, I need to go back for work for a few weeks, get my things and I will need to see my doctor again
,” tenderly kissing his neck and jaw, trying to avoid a full blown conversation.

“Alexandra, we can get you in with an obstetrical team here in Dallas. We will just have your records sent back here.” He was turning into Mr. Bossy again; I could tell this was just going to be a way of life with him when it comes to health matters. “Grayson, we can talk about all that later, let’s just enjoy the moment, please?” as I started kissing him again to quiet him and bring his mind back to what we were doing in the shower.

His stamina is amazing and he quickly picked me up and started making love to me again, more aggressive and... um, hotter, steamier than before. Biting me, sucking my breast, my neck, pulling out of me to suck on my sex and enter me with his tongue. His mouth was exploring all of my body. I followed his lead and enjoyed the same. Taking my hands and showing me what felt best to him. It was a scene from an erotic movie for sure. We were all over the place in the shower. I was seeing an obstreperous side of him that I hadn’t seen before and I loved it. We finished, climaxing together experiencing the pulsing of the other’s body in complete satisfaction. We took turns washing each other, gingerly playful with soap and shampoo, and I realized that his shower needed a woman’s touch or I would smell manly, although the thought of smelling Grayson, was very stimulating.

I stepped out of the shower first, grabbing a towel to dry off, that is when I heard his gasp,

“Alexandra, what the hell happened to your leg? Did he do that to you?”

“What are you talking about, this bruise?”

“Yes, on your leg, what happened?”

“Well, I fainted when I walked into the obstetrician’s office today and caught the chair apparently. What did you think happened?”

“I was concerned that Harrison might have done that to you!” His voice so full of concern, but accusatory towards Harrison, which I didn’t get. As he stepped out of the shower, I used my body as a buffer to his explosive attitude about his brother, and gently took him into a hug and started biting his chest. “Just so you know. Harrison never laid a hand on me. I don’t know what about him you are not telling me but we will discuss it later. What I need to do now is eat something, if you don’t mind.”

“There are some dark things about Harrison that you don’t know, but we will discuss him later,” giving me a quick kiss.

“Alexandra, you are so thin, did you eat anything the entire time you were away?” Tracing my breasts with his finger, “The only thing bigger on you are these.” As he leaned in to suck on my breast again.

“Oh, Grayson, I can tell it is going to be a fun 9 months if you keep that up!” We both laughed as we dressed and made our way back to the kitchen.

After dinner, we snuggled on the couch listening to music, just enjoying ourselves, satisfied from our lovemaking. “Hey Red, how is my little boy doing in there?” as he rubbed my belly with soft strokes.

“Your little red headed daughter is killing me, everything thing I eat comes back up!” As I darted off to endure, morning, evening and all day sickness...

Chapter 10

After my spell of sickness, I returned to the kitchen to find Grayson on the phone, it was Cooper checking on us to make sure everything was okay. I am sure he was worried and I had not looked at my phone since we got to his apartment. We went back to my place to get my things and to leave Coop a note that I was staying the night with Grayson. “Alexandra, would you feel more comfortable staying here at your apartment?” Asking nonchalantly, like it didn’t matter to him either way. “Well, I do, but what about you, are you okay with it, Grayson?”

“Alexandra, I am comfortable wherever you are, that is where I want to be. I will just run back home and grab a bag and come right back.”

I went to lie down on my bed and get comfortable to ease my nausea that was returning. Lying still in the lamplight, I smiled as I recollected Grayson’s declaration of love to me. It was more than I could ever imagine after such a whirlwind few weeks. Our lives were changing so quickly before our eyes. I was lost in my emotions, fully engulfed in sobs when Grayson returned. “Why are you crying, Alexandra?” kneeling beside my bed before taking me in his arms.

“Oh, I am fine, I am crying because I am happy. I’m sorry to have startled you! I love you Grayson, I didn’t expect this kind of response from you about the baby.”

“Angel, you will learn to trust my love. I promise to never let you down again!” He murmured against my lips. His kisses turning more passionately, like he was craving me again. He began to rip off his shirt, my shirt, bra, and jeans, leaving me in just my panties and him in his boxers. As he hovered over me, his kisses trailing down my body to my belly, he removed my panties, spreading my legs and starting to suck on my clit. He inserted his finger inside me. The movements and stimulation together were more exciting than I could handle. My body began to heat up and I began to tilt my hips up to him. I could feel warm fluid releasing from inside my sex, climaxing in his mouth and clenching his finger inside me. Screaming out his name in pleasure, “Grayson Brooks, whatever you are doing, please, I beg you, don’t stop!!”

“Glad to be of service Ms. Morrison!” As he kissed his way back up to my mouth, trying hard to control his grin and exposing his satisfaction. I could taste myself on his lips and the flavor was different, but exciting. To know that we both could enjoy my orgasm in such a stimulating way was exciting. This was sex like I had only previously read about, but never experienced. It was far above what I could have imagined. I could only pray that Grayson would be patient with me and teach me to satisfy him as much as he satisfies me. He was kissing me hungrily and I could tell he still wanted more of me.

Grayson removed his boxers and climbed in the bed with me, pulling the comforter over us. As he took me in his arms, I could feel his member on my hip and I knew that he still needed more, as much as I wanted him again, too. Rolling on my back, he took both of my hands and reached my arms way above my head and held them there tight. “Is this too aggressive for you?” He asked in a whisper against my neck.

“No, no, this is the most exciting night of my life. I will stop you if I can’t do it, so please, please, don’t stop. Show me, teach me what you want me to experience, I want to please you, I want to learn from you. I love you, Grayson.”

His grin was larger than life. “I love you too, Red!”

He held my arms above my head, biting my breasts hard, just short of painful. With his other arm around my waist, he pushed his erection into me, hard, forceful, pulling almost all the way out after each thrust, grinding into me. I was squirming with pleasure, pulling against his hands, but he didn’t let me go, just continuing to thrust into me hard and steady, all the while restraining my hands. I could feel his shaft swell inside me, so tight, that the friction was exhilarating, causing me to climax, just as he reached his. I could feel him pulsating inside me and the warm result of our lovemaking coming over us. As he pulled out, I grimaced, disturbing him. “We may be overdoing it a bit, you may be sore tomorrow, I just got carried away in the moment of needing you, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize. Grayson, our lovemaking is beautiful and I have loved every bit of it with no regrets.” I snuggled into his chest and he caressed me, holding me tight.

“I am so happy you are home, I love you. Now you and our little baby, will make me complete!” Finally convincing me that he was happy and we were enough.

I awoke in the wee morning hours feeling nausea come over me and needing to pee. Grayson’s legs were so entangled with mine and his arms wrapped around me tight, there was no way to get out of bed without disturbing him. Slowly, I wiggled from his arms and then his legs, as he rolled over. Quietly, I was able to get out of the bed without waking him. As I went to the bathroom, I saw that there was some blood, not a whole lot, but some. Oh, no, please no, please not a miscarriage. How can this be happening? Why can’t I get a break? Was it the aggressive lovemaking from last night that caused this? Surely not, most women don’t even know they are pregnant this early? I have to wake Grayson up.

“Grayson, Grayson, wake up! I need you!”

“Alexandra, what’s wrong?” My calling startled him, quickly sitting up in bed. “Grayson, I am spotting, could I be having a miscarriage? Do we need to go to the hospital?” By now, I was crying uncontrollably. “Please don’t let anything happen to our baby!”

“Alexandra, sometimes spotting happens early in the pregnancy and it means nothing. Let’s go to my office and look at the ultrasound.” His voice was so calming, he knew just what to say and how to say it. We dressed and quickly made our way to his office.

Once in his office, he set up his ultrasound machine. While putting the cold gel on me was startling, nothing mattered if I couldn’t see my tiny little circle. I couldn’t control the tears rolling down my face. His face showed concern as he moved the wand around on my tummy. “Alexandra, I can’t see anything with my machine because there isn’t enough fluid in your bladder. We will need to go to the ER to let them check you out completely, but stay calm, it is going to be okay. We aren’t going to lose the baby.”

As we made our way down to the ER, Grayson went in and spoke with the ER Doctor and the nurses. They took me around to another room with an ultrasound machine and this time, the wand they used was long and had a plastic cover over it...
for all that is holy, that thing looks like a penis with a condom on it.
When the Technologist put it inside me, I could feel an uncomfortable pressure, but it wasn’t painful. Grayson was holding my hand the whole time as she pointed to the screen. The doctors and technologist discussed amongst themselves in medical terms what they thought. Finally, Grayson broke the tension, “Alexandra, you are not having a miscarriage. This is simply something that happens early in pregnancy. It is completely normal. You have nothing to worry about. Everything looks good and it is going to be fine, angel” as he kissed me. The rest of the staff stepped out so that I could dress and we could be alone. Then Grayson stepped out to talk with the doctor and when he returned, I was lying there looking at a picture of the
little circle
on the screen, my baby, our baby, wondering it if was going to be a boy or a girl. 

On the way back home, Grayson kept my hand clasped tight in his. “Are you hungry at all because I am starving?” I could tell he was going to try and feed me. This was going to be a long 9 months.

Trying to make him happy, “Why yes, I am. I will make us something when we get home.”

“Angel, I had something else in mind. There is this little hole in the wall that has the best waffles. Do you like waffles?” He looked like a little kid at that moment.

“Yes, I do actually and that sounds yummy.” So we made our way to this little dive for waffles. We enjoyed our breakfast like we hadn’t eaten in days, both of us were going to gain weight in this pregnancy, I was sure. In the car on the way home, Grayson was quiet. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

“Care to share your thoughts with me?” I was curious where his mind was, since it wasn’t with me in the car.

“Red, I was thinking about the turn of the events. How they’re more than I could’ve ever hoped for.” He spoke quietly, almost reverend.

“Grayson, I want so much for us to be a normal, happy little family. My wish is for us to be settled, but I have to return to Chicago to get my things. I also need to check in with Cooper.” I could tell my words disappointed him. He wasn’t going to be happy to see me go back to Chicago.

When we got back to my apartment, Cooper had finally gotten up and about and wanted to hear about our evening. “Finally, you two are on the right track and I couldn’t be happier.” He shook Grayson’s hand and gave me a great big hug. We filled him in on the excitement from the morning and Grayson reassured us both that things would be fine. I left them in the kitchen and went to get a shower. I had the water running and was just about to step in when the door opened and Grayson stuck his head in, “Want your privacy or would you like some company?” I could tell he was trying not to overwhelm me. “I would love some company. You don’t have to treat me with kid gloves. Get in!”

He quickly undressed and jumped in. I don’t think I will ever bore of looking at him. I hope our baby looks like him. His full, wavy dark hair, that was actually in need of a trim. His well-defined jaw, beautiful red lips and perfect teeth. His pointed nose, and those sapphire blue eyes, all on top of 220 pounds of broad shoulders and solid muscle. As he kissed me, I could tell that he was using reserve and trying not to get things started. His hands weren’t all over me like before, like a craving he was trying to satisfy. Instead, he pulled back from his kiss and ran his finger down my nose and touched my lips, “I love you, Red.”

After our shower, I asked Coop to trim my hair for me and Grayson was a bit shocked. “Alexandra, do you think this is a good idea, we can get you an appointment today to get your hair trimmed if you like?”

“Oh, Coop does a great job, you will see” We commenced to my bathroom for some updating on my hairstyle. After which, Coop showed me how to get a blown-dry bouncy style with the new layers. I could feel my energy coming back to me and I don’t know if it was the weight of our relationship lifting or the big breakfast, but I was finally feeling spunky. Sometimes just a little trim can give a girl a whole-new attitude.

“Cooper, I think you missed your calling, her hair is fabulous! Angel, you look gorgeous!”

I jumped up and ran to Grayson, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. I felt relieved that he was here to take care of me. “I think tonight I will go out for dinner and dancing, care to join me, Ms. Morrison?”

“Why I would love to, Dr. Brooks! Grayson, I love you so very much!” Kissing him hard on the mouth. He gripped me so tightly, that I felt his manhood through his jeans.

“You two need to get a room and I need to go out for my run, have fun!” Coop was giving us a hard time, but I knew deep inside that he was happy for me, maybe even a bit jealous.

Lying with Grayson on the bed, I tried to be playful with him and taunt him romantically, but he was using restraint, keeping his hands off of me for the most part.

“Grayson, I won’t break. It’s okay for you to touch me. I could sense your uneasiness in the shower, like you were concerned I would shatter. Please don’t shut me down, when I am begging to get comfortable with all of this.”

“Angel, I am not going to risk the baby or your health. Just a few days of restraint and we should be in the clear. I could never live with myself for causing you to lose my son!” As he patted my tummy, I reminded him that we could be having a daughter, but either was fine with me. He pulled me close to him, spooning me and holding me tight, while playing with my hair. “However, there are plenty of ways for us to pleasure each other, if you want to try, I will show you.” He went to put on some music and I could hear
Turn of the Century by Pete Yorn
come over the intercom. The words of the song are dark, making me wonder if Grayson had been shattered over the last couple of weeks since I had been in Chicago, like the song talked about. It was a strange choice for him to put on. His music list is extensive. He has introduced me to many artists that I was not previously familiar with.

He made his way back from the kitchen with a couple of glasses of ice water and took a long drink. He took me in his arms and kissed me passionately as he slowly removed my t-shirt and jeans, leaving me in my bra and panties. I removed his t-shirt, jeans and boxers, exposing his full, tight erection. Grayson took his hand and lifted my chin up to him. Taking possession of my mouth with his, exploring me with his tongue, biting my lips, my chin, my neck as he removed my bra. Gently, he forced me back on the bed. He was trailing kisses down to my breasts. He took his hand and cupped my right breast, biting and sucking on my nipple and the small curve of my breast, continuing to leave a trail of kisses down to my navel. He reached over and took an ice cube in his mouth and dribbled the cold water over my breasts and my navel, then filled my navel with cold water.

This was so stimulating, I kept wiggling. “Be still Alexandra, trying not to spill the water is part of controlling the excitement.”

With my naval full of ice cold water, he continued to kiss further down as he very slowly slid my panties off without spilling the water. He then spread my legs, kissing and biting the insides of my thighs. As he made his way to exploring my inner goddess, he took his fingers and pushed back my labia, exposing my clit, biting and sucking on me until I was wet and creamy. While exploring me, worshipping my body, tantalizing my sex, I couldn’t help but keep my hands in his hair, trying hard not to spill the water. The tension and excitement were too much. I could feel the pressure from my arousal in his mouth and I could feel my orgasm building. I began to whimper in complete satisfaction as I experienced a mind-blowing orgasm, leaving my body trembling, my pulse racing and my eyes seeing stars to the point I thought I might pass out!
