I’m not sure what else I had to do to convince hi h to utter the words to , would

It wasn’t long after our talk I was able to return hoed for a nurse to care for me while I recuperated When he wasn’t around, she was there looking after me Of course, Katy came by as well

I told her about the conversation I’d had with Grey in the hospital To my surprise, she was actually a bit ht be When I pressed her on it, she explained that perhaps this was his way of showing love forable to verbalize it Ifroy than the hundreds of thousands of dollars it would take to raise our child Even so, he couldn’t find a way to make them come from his lips

In any case, I hadn’t seen hi back into town and due to arrive at anyquite a bit better in recent days as my recuperation continued Soextra special for hi he’d done

I’d spent, I don’t know—the better part of two hours getting e to squeeze -fitting bit of lingerie put all my curves on full display What can I say? It had been a really long ti, I’d been crazy horny

I took one last look at myself in the bathroo roolanced at the tile in the lock and in the span of few seconds, I must have assumed twenty of the most seductive poses I could conjure

“Maddie!” Grey called out as he closed the door and began to walk down the hallway towards me

As he did, I angled my body in a way that accentuated the curve of nancy did have a benefit or two and Grey was about to get an eyeful of it Leaning against the kitchen counter, I stood with ht, palms flat on several random pieces of mail

Grey rounded the corner and arched a brow in my direction

“Maddie,” he began, as he glanced around “Where is the nurse? What are you…”

I noticed his glance draards my tits As his eyes ht arthe to perfection, the uneven, slippery stack of envelopes shifted under the weight of e of panic, I tried to play it off and instead challenged Grey as he leered at me

“Like what you see?” I cooed

Grey nodded and started to reply but before he could, the bottorip loose I shrieked as I lost ht as I went crashing to the ground with a hard thud I sla as I did

“Maddie!” he yelled as he came around the corner and squatted down next to me “Are you okay?”

My pride hurt far worse than any physical pain I experienced in that instant I cleared my throat and did my best to adjust my once-sexy attire as Grey helped me to my feet

“What are you doing?” Grey asked as he lifted ”

He leaned away fro, he asked, “And why are you dressed like this?”

With elbows and knees still throbbing, I limped towards him

“Dressed like what?” I asked, as I tried tomy discomfort, I leaned into him with all the sexiness I could muster Grey fell silent as he held onto me He raised an eyebrow of suspicion once more

“What?” I asked

“Maddie…”

I tossed my hair back away from my eyes and wrapped ood A woodsy musk wafted into my nostrils as I inhaled

“Yes?” I purred

Grey thinned his lips and drew his eyebrows together Reaching up, he unhooked my arms from behind his neck

“Coestured back towards the bedroom

“Yay!” I squealed

But no sooner had I started to turn the corner and head down the hall than he finished his thought And, it wasn’t what I’d hoped to hear

“No, no You are going to get back in the bed” Grey said, as he gestured past me “This foolishness will have to wait"

I stopped and looked at hiue across my lips, I stepped in his direction I reached towards his chest and grabbed his tie, crushing the fine silk in ed the tie with a pull and wasted no ti my mouth to his Already wet and desperate, I ht into hi was going to stop me

Nothing that is, except Grey

For no sooner had I begun, than he gently, but firrabbed hold of my arms and pried me free He shook his head as our eyes met

“No, Maddie”

After the initial shock of rejection wore off, I frowned as I looked at him
