Using his elbow, he knocked on the closed bathroom door. “Laura, are you in there?”
When a man’s voice answered, Jay suspected she was elsewhere in the house. After a thorough search of the main floor had turned up nothing, he moved toward the staircase. Perhaps she’d gone to the upstairs bathroom to change. Since Jay had spent way too many bonding sessions at the house, he knew the layout like the back of his hand. He climbed the stairs two at a time, and strode down the long hallway.
He found the bathroom door ajar. With the tip of his toe he pushed on it. He opened his mouth to call out to her, but no sound vocalized as the vision before him sent his thoughts scattering in a million different directions.
Dressed in nothing but her very revealing white silky bra and matching lace panties, she was bent over the sink so enthralled in scribbling in a notepad, she hadn’t even heard his approach. Her long chestnut hair fanned forward, curtaining her face, cloaking him from her line of vision.
As he stood in mute fascination, his breath rushed from his lungs. His mind raced, searching for the perfect words to describe the sensuous image before him.
He remained motionless as heated blood flowed thick and heavy through his veins. He took a long moment to gaze at her near-nakedness. Her angelic beauty floored him. His body reacted with urgent demands. God, he was so aware of her, her every breath, her every movement, her every sexy curve. Pressure brewed deep in his groin. His dry throat cracked.
Sun rays streamed through the window and spilled over her soft angles as he registered every delicious detail. With her back arched and one knee bent forward, she had her ass tipped up in the air, affording him a view of her voluptuous contours.
Sweet Mother of God!
As his dick rose to the occasion, he acknowledged just how much he loved all her soft, cushiony, womanly curves.
Everything about her stance beckoned him and bombarded his body with a primal hunger unlike anything he’d ever before experienced.
His muscles bunched.
His cock tightened.
His balls constricted.
The sudden need to feel her bare flesh beneath his fingers, to cup her perfect supple breasts in his hands, and to lick her plump nipples until she cried out in heavenly bliss made him fairly mad with longing. His mouth salivated as he recalled the silky taste of her jeweled nubs and the way they tightened under his ravishing tongue.
Every instinct urged him to take her. To bend her over and fuck her. Right there against the bathroom counter. All night long. Lust exploded through him and dragged him under like a tsunami.
He hungered to answer the demands of his body, the needy pull in his groin. He ached to come up behind her, tug aside that scrap of lace covering her sweet pussy, and plunge his throbbing cock deep inside her tight sheath and ride her until her screams of pleasure drowned out his.
Everything in him screamed possession.
God, he wanted her. Today. Tomorrow. Next week.
Forever.
Oh fuck.
He began trembling from head to toe.
Jay cleared his throat, rattled by the foreign emotions she brought out in him. The sound gained her full attention.
She flicked him a glance but didn’t bother to straighten. Dark lashes opened wide over bewitching green eyes as she acknowledged his presence.
Oh yeah, the words finally came to him. Awe-inspiring.
“Jay?”
He swallowed and softened his voice. “Yeah?”
Her eyes were alive with excitement. “I think I’ve figured it out.”
With shaky legs, he took a measured step closer. “Figured what out?”
“The formula. I figured out what was missing.”
Her soft whisper covered him like a blanket of desire, making it difficult to maintain a coherent thought. He blinked his mind into focus.
“Are you serious?”
She nodded enthusiastically.
Excited by the prospect, he said, “Show me.” He came up behind her, placed her hot dog and lemonade on the counter, and glanced over her shoulder.
She threaded her fingers through her hair, grabbed her pen, and dragged it over the notebook. “When we heat compound ALD, the subcellular structure mutates. Since we need ALD to combine with the hormones for stabilization, I propose we add two cc’s of synthetic PCS to the serum to help ALD maintain its structure. My hypothesis is that the molecular interaction will produce the results we’re seeking.”
She went still, giving him a quiet moment to absorb the information and study her theory. A slow smile curled his lips. He shook his head and marveled at her brilliance. It never failed to astonish him.
Or arouse him.
His lips twitched in total amazement. “Laura, you’re brilliant.”
He watched her in the vanity mirror. She dipped her head sheepishly, as though she regarded her intelligence as a personal flaw. Wisps of hair spilled down her face. He felt her shiver as he curled it around his finger and tucked it behind her ear.
Did she not understand how sexy her brilliance was?
He paused to give it further consideration. Perhaps it was time to show her.
“How did you figure this out?” he asked, studying her diagram.
She shifted, her sweet curvy ass bumping his groin. Fuck, he nearly dropped to his knees and dragged her down with him as her touch made him burn from the inside out.
Her eyes met his in the mirror. “I was standing here getting changed…” She squared her shoulders, and her thoughts appeared to careen off track as she suddenly became aware of her nudity. A pink hue traveled up her neck and tinged her cheeks.
Deliberately, he leaned over her, creating an instant intimacy. His bare chest molded against the smooth skin of her back. Her warm, familiar scent curled around him and filled him with longing.
He took the pen from her hand, purposely brushing his fingers over hers as he pulled it away. Circling his thumb around the button at the end of the barrel, he began
