life.”
“Then tonight we’ll talk. And if you don’t mind, I want my family there when we do.”
“Okay.”
“Now get dressed.” Grady stepped away. “I’ll wait for you in the hall because if I stay in here I can’t promise I won’t take you to bed again, and that wouldn’t be good.”
Sage smiled. “You’d make me late. I won’t be long.”
After Grady walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, Sage took off the towel she wore and dressed. She was now intrigued as to what he’d tell her if he wanted his family present when he did so. And she wasn’t sure what he’d say to explain why his head had healed quicker than should have been possible.
Once she was ready, Sage stepped out into the hall, where Grady waited for her. He took her hand in his as he guided her to the stairs. They walked down the curved stairway to the foyer, then into a large living room. His parents were there along with another couple Sage assumed were his brother Jase and his wife Katarina.
Grady’s mom held Josh. She stood when she saw them. “There’s Auntie Sage.” She passed the baby to Sage and asked, “Couldn’t sleep?”
She shook her head. “No. Thanks for helping to watch Josh.”
“It was no hardship. And I’ve already told Grady I’ll look after the baby when you two go to the funeral home. I also want you to invite Josh’s grandparents over here for dinner when you’re finished. They obviously haven’t seen him since they arrived.”
“Thanks. I’m sure they’d like that.”
“Good. And you and Josh are more than welcome to stay the night with Grady. You shouldn’t be alone at a time like this. It’s not as if we don’t have the room.”
Sage couldn’t help noticing how young Grady’s mom looked. Olivia didn’t look old enough to have two adult children. If Sage had passed her on the street, she would have guessed her to be around thirty-five years old. Even his dad Charles looked the same age.
“I guess we can stay over,” Sage said. She actually didn’t like the idea of being alone. She’d have too much time on her hands and would think about Macy and how she was gone, which wouldn’t be good.
“Great. You must be hungry. I’ll have our chef whip you up something to eat.”
Olivia hurried out of the living room. Sage looked at Josh, who smiled. She still thought it was a blessing he had no idea what was going on. But she wouldn’t let him grow up not knowing about his parents. She would make sure he’d know them, and he wouldn’t be calling her “Mom” either. She’d only be Auntie Sage.
Chapter Six
Making the funeral arrangements for her sister was the toughest thing Sage had ever done. She was more than grateful Grady had decided to go with her. Him just being with her helped her get through some of the rougher moments.
Hank’s parents had accepted Olivia’s offer for dinner. Once they were done at the funeral home, they decided to return to the hotel before they went to Grady’s house since there were more than a few hours to kill in between. Sage had Grady drive to her place to pick up Josh’s playpen. On the way, she also had him stop at a store to buy Josh some new clothes since there was no way she was going to her sister’s house to get more.
At her place Sage led Grady upstairs to her bedroom. She packed a bag with a change of clothes before she set to work closing up the playpen to take with them. After she had it collapsed and bundled, ready to go, she sat on the bed beside him and folded the blankets. She set them aside, then turned to him.
“Will your mom mind if we take a little longer getting back to the house?” Sage asked.
“I doubt it.”
“Good.”
Sage threw herself into Grady’s arms, pushing him onto his back. She landed on top of him and kissed him hungrily. She needed to get as close to him as she could, have him make her feel alive.
Grady put his arms around her and kissed her back with the same fervor. He pushed his tongue into her mouth and thoroughly tasted her. Sage spread her legs and brought her pussy on top of his hard cock. She rocked against him, making them both moan.
As arousal beat at her, Sage left Grady’s mouth and kissed a trail down to the side of his jaw. She reached between them and dragged the bottom of his shirt up. He quickly pulled it the rest of the way off and threw it over the side of the bed. His arm then snaked around her waist and held her to him as he positioned them both in the center of the bed, giving them more room.
After they settled in place, Sage shifted lower on Grady’s body, licking and kissing as she went. A cat- sounding purr rumbled out of him, something he seemed to do a lot during sex. She didn’t mind, it turned her on just as much as his moans and groans. She figured he had a different way of showing how much he enjoyed what she did to him.
Sage paused at his cougar head pendant and brushed it with her finger. It was warm to the touch, warmer than it should be from Grady’s body heat. She couldn’t explain her fascination with it. The thought of taking it from him once again flashed through her mind but she pushed it aside. There was something else she wanted more.
Lower she went, taking the time to drag her tongue along his washboard abs. At the top of his jeans, she undid them and parted the material. Sage ran a finger down the length of Grady’s cock through his underwear. It jerked in response.
She met Grady’s gaze as she took hold of the top of his pants and underwear and tugged them both down past his hips. “Earlier I didn’t get to explore as much as I wanted. I don’t intend to miss out this time.”
“By all means. Explore to your heart’s content. It might kill me but I’m giving you the control.”
“If that’s the case, then I want you completely naked.”
Grady helped Sage as she pulled his jeans and underwear the rest of the way off and tossed them aside. She feasted her eyes on him. He had a great body, muscular and cut but not overly bulky. But what really made her mouth water was his cock. Fully engorged, it was thick and long. From their previous lovemaking, she already knew it filled her pussy all the way up. And he definitely could use it to make her want to scream his name in pleasure.
She straddled his thighs and wrapped her fingers around his shaft. She pumped it a few times until a drop of pre-cum appeared on the tip. Grady groaned, his hips lifting off the mattress, thrusting his erection tighter into her hand.
Sage firmly grasped him at the base and circled the head of his cock with her tongue. Grady groaned louder, a purr mixing with the sound. She gave him one last lick before opening her mouth and taking the head inside. She sucked back more of his length, then slowly lifted her head until only the tip remained. His hands fisted the covers under him as she took him in and out, taking as much as she could handle.
His cock grew even harder. “Sage,” he said with a moan. “I’m getting too close. I want to be inside you.”
Sage sucked him almost to the back of her throat, then released his shaft. She sat up. “And I want you there.”
She watched Grady as she took off her shirt and bra. His gaze followed her every movement. Next came her pants. Her panties, she took her time removing. She was already wet for him, more than ready to take his cock into her pussy.
Once she was as naked as he, she straddled his hips, then lowered herself onto his erection. It stretched her as she worked it in and out until she completely impaled herself. Sage lifted to her knees, sliding him almost free of her body only to push back down until he was all the way inside.
Sage continued to ride Grady, clenching her inner muscles around his plunging cock. She set a slow and steady pace that had her climax inching toward the surface. He reached up and palmed her breasts, tugging on her taut nipples. She placed her hands over his to keep them there. It was just enough extra stimulation she needed to have her panting, straining for her release.
As Grady let out a strangled moan and his cock pulsed inside her, Sage fell into her own orgasm. Her pussy
