Last First Kiss (20 page)

“What about Grans?”

“
I love Emily
,
but
I’m not having sex with her.”

“Wade
Linley
.” Sophie slapped him across the arm. “I meant to say I’m supposed to be home for her not having sex with you.”

Wade reached into his back pocket and pulled out his cell phone.
He handed it to her. “Call your grandmother and tell her not to worry and that
I got a little hurt and you’re helping me
. Tell her
not to wait up for you.”

Sophie took it from him, at first hesitating but then realized she was putty in his hands. Always had been, always would be. And not to mention her panties were drenched at just the thought of having Wade deep inside her. She was guessing he’d be the best lover in the whole world.

She punched in the numbers and looked at Wade as the number rang.

“Hi
,
Grans.”

“Sophie, where have you been
?
N
elson’s closed over an hour ago
.
Yo
u run into old friends or what?”

“Actually it’s Wade I’m with. He had a slight accident
,
and I’m going to check him out at his house.”

“Oh goodness me
. Nothing
serious is it
?
He didn’t get hurt doing any private eye work?”

Wade must have heard her comment
,
and he pulled a face.

“No, Grans, nothing like that.”

“Isn’t Cathy there for him?”

“Nope, she
went home.”

“Oh dear, hope everything’s okay between them. Okay, Sophie,
do you have your key because I
lock all the doors in about thirty minutes
?”

“Yep,
Grans
,
don’t worry about me.”

“Okay, sweetie. Say hello to Wade for me.”

“I will. L
ove you
,
Grans.”

“You
,
too, and be safe.”

Sophie pressed the end call button.

“She knows something is going on
between you and me
.”

“Yeah, that
lady always had a sixth sense,” said Wade.

Sophie had followed Wade home
in Grans’
s
car
because she had no idea
where he lived. She noticed the
left blinker
on his car
flashing
,
and then he turned onto one of the roads on the very outskirts of
Greenville
.
As she drove along,
Sophie tried to guess which house belonged to Wade. He finally turned into one at the end of the street
,
and Sophie pulled
in behind him and turned off the
ignition. She got out and look
ed at the house. It was one of the smaller ones in the neighborhood
,
and
the garden was immaculate. The grass
had
recently
been
mowed
,
and even a few planters with flowers sat on the railing of the front
porch. Wade tipped his hat back and called to her.

“You coming in
,
or are you going to st
and there checki
ng out my home to figure out
what you can do to change it?”

She followed him up the steps and waited while he unlocked the door. As she stepped over the threshold she sensed that when she walked
back
out of this plac
e everything would be different between them.
There’d
be no going back. Her and Wade
’s
relationship would change from old friends to
them finally being
lovers.

He switched on the light
,
and Sophie smiled. Just as s
he’d expected it to be, the living
room
had
I’ve been
furnished by a male
written all over it.  One couch, one chair, a TV on the wall, a coffee
table and a bookshelf
,
and that was it.

“You have
I want to give this place a makeover
written all over you
r face
,” s
aid Wade tossing his car keys into a dish on
the bookshelf. He took off his hat and placed it on the chair.

“I’m an interior designer
.
It’s
what I do.”

“No, you’re a woman
,
and that’s what they do.”

Sophie smiled. “Please let me do something with this place for you.”

Wade pulled her in
close
an
d smiled.

“You probably could twist my arm
to do just that
,
but you’d have to be really nice to me first.”

“Um, sounds like sexual harassment
.”

He kissed her on the t
ip of her nose. “It can’t be classified as that
if the recipient enjoys it…wants it.”

“You mean being nice like this?”

Sophie let her hand slide
down his chest and then further south
until it r
ested on his crotch. She gave his cock
a playful squeeze
,
and
even though the thickness of his jeans she
f
elt he was
already hard.

“See what you do to me,” he said. “This is going to be the toughest night of my life. On the one hand I want to
tear your clothes off and take you right now, right here on the floor
. The other part of me what’s to take it slow, make it last for hours until fin
ally neither of us can stand
any more
foreplay
,
and I finally sink
inside you like I’ve always dreamed about.”

She put her finger of his mouth to stop him from saying another word, but instead he kissed it and then took it inside his mouth.

“Wade.”

“Yes, Soph.”

“Let’s get your face checked out before we do anything else.”

He took her hand and led her through the hallway to the bathroom.
He turned on the light, lowered
the toilet seat lid
,
and sat down.

“The hydrogen peroxide and antiseptic cream
are
in the cupboard over the sink. Cotton balls are in the one underneath it,” he said.

Sophie gathered the supplies and
set
everything down on the vanity.

“You should take your shirt off and soak it because it has some blood on it.”

“How about the nurse doing that for me?”

Sophie undid the top button and then the next one
,
and then the third
,
all the time not taking her eyes off Wade’s face
. She got to the bottom one, flicked it open and then pulled on both sides of the shirt before easing it down his arms and off his wrists. She placed it in the sink and ran the cold water, letting it soak in there while she got back to tending to her patient.

A distracting one for any nurse to contend with.

Last time she’d seen his bare chest he’d been Cathy’s boyfriend
.
Now
it seemed they
were history
which meant…
She ran her hands over the muscles in his upper chest, his hair trickling her palm. He drew in his breath as she glided the very tips of her fingers over his nipples. He closed his eyes. His chest was firm and strong. Not that Wade the teenager had been weak and puny
by any means
,
but in the last eight years his body had evolved into
something quite spectacular.

She got back to her nursing duties
. Sophie took some cotton balls, ran them under t
he tap and then patted gently onto
the cut on his cheek.

He breathed in quickly
,
t
his time obviously from pain.

“Are you going to be a baby
?
” asked Sophie, trying to be
gentler
as she dabbed away some dried blood.

“I’ve never been a baby.”

“Not much. Do you remember the time you stepped on that broken bottle down by the lake?”

“Soph, that gash took a dozen stitches to close
,
and I was eleven.”

“You going to be okay when I put the hydrogen
peroxide
on your face?”

“I am not a baby
,
but just in case it stings, how about you do it topless so I’ll have something to focus on.”

“You know this isn’t covered by
your medical insurance.” She took off her t-shirt without hesitation because this was Wade who was doing the requesting.

“That’s a cute bra,” he said fingering the lace edging.

“
Thank you. I bought it in a
little boutique in downtown
Seattle
.”

“I like it, but I’ll probably like
what’s underneath it a whole lot
better.”

She reached behind her back and unclasped it. Wade caught the front of it as it fell from her body. He placed it gently on the bathroom floor.

Sophie didn’t have to ask him if he liked what he saw because his eyes said it all. They were wide
,
and he was smiling. She closed her eyes as he touched her nipples and then ran his hand over and under each breast.

“You grew into a beautiful woman, Soph.”

“Thank you. Now are you going to be brave while I finish seeing to that gash?”
“I will.”

As she leaned in to wipe his face, he played with her nipples, pulling them, rolling them. The
y
hardened and ached
,
and she almost dropped the bottle of hydrogen peroxide. As she wiped his face he pulled harder on her breasts.

“Sorry,” he whispered
,
and then he took her breasts in his hands and squeezed them. At that point Sophie creamed. It was sheer tor
ture
,
and maybe she should let him
take her on the bathroom floor.

She dabbed some lotion
on to his
face as he tugged at her jeans before
opening them up.

He grabbed her and kissed her navel. She ran her hands through his hair.

Wade pulled her jeans down her legs
,
and
being th
at they were so tight, her panties
went with them.

Sophie stepped out of them. Wade pulled her close and suck
e
d
on her right nipple as his hand went between her leg
s. He wiped his fingers over
her folds and then brought his hand out and held it up to her. His fingers glistened with her juices.

“Is this for me and only me?” he asked her.

“No man’s ever made me this excited and so quickly
.”

He pushed
his hand
in
between her
thighs a
gain, this time easing
his middle finger up inside her slit. He plunged in and out as he took one of
her nipples in this mouth
and sucked in
perfect
rhythm with his finger.

Sophie ran her fingers through his hair, pumped her hip
s hoping he’d know she wanted him to move
faster and deeper.

Wade sucked lik
e a baby
trying to ge
t the last drop of milk from its mother’s
breast.

Heat pooled
in her pu
ssy and womb. She sensed she was close to a
wonderful orgasm. She clenched hi
s finger while
feeling the waves building. He obviously did
,
to
o
,
because he whispered onto her chest.

“Come for me, Soph.”

Sh
e’d never said no to anything he’d asked her to do
. She squeezed her thighs knowing that’s all it would take to go to paradise with Wade’s finger buried deep in her core.
