Running To You (19 page)

“Well, I hope you're not planning to propose to someone else, Red?” splashing water at me and laughing. “Well I might. Maybe, I just want us to relive our proposal each year on our anniversary. What do you think about that Mr. Brooks?”

“I like the ideas, keep ’em coming. That tells me that you are already thinking married, when you say anniversary. Do you have an idea already?” As he is massaging my feet, nibbling my toes. “Yes, I was thinking destination wedding in Austria, perhaps? I don’t want to be big as a barn for our wedding, so we could do it soon or wait?”

“Soon, Red, the sooner the better! I love you and I don’t want to wait. Start planning it tomorrow, Dr.’s orders!”

“Since we are going to Austria, I thought it would make a very romantic destination wedding. My only concern is whether or not your family would be willing to make the journey?”

“It is only Zoe and that would not be a problem. I am certain that your Dad and Gretchen would make it, run it by Cooper.”

“We can discuss it more, later this week, but I am ready to open the dialogue and start making plans if you are.” I didn’t bring up Harrison, I knew it would just start a fight, but I am going to talk to Harrison tomorrow about everything. It needs to be fixed. Whatever the dark secret is, it can be repaired.

Finally, we got out of the spa and blew out the candles. Grayson went to retrieve our bags and slipped into a pair of black silk pajama pants. Oh, my heart skipped a few beats, that body of his and he smells so sexy I could barely hold myself back. I was ready to jump his bones right then, but he is leading the way tonight, it was the special night he had planned. He had orchestrated every minute detail and I will wait on him. He stepped out to adjust the music and I stepped into the lingerie that he bought for tonight. It fit my body perfectly. As I was looking in the mirror, I realized that my breasts are bigger and if I didn’t know any better, it looked as though I was showing. Nah, a baby bump this early, no way? It just had to be all the food lately that I had been eating and no exercise or therapy. The thought of it just made me blush, my baby, our baby, the sexy changes in my body. A body Grayson was about to devour. I wrapped up in the robe, grabbed my champagne and went to find my future husband.

Grayson was sitting on the sofa, doing something with his iPhone as I came out of the bedroom. I heard him gasp a deep breath, “Alexandra, you look like an angel. Your skin and your hair look so lovely in that color, come here,” as he held out his hand to me. He pulls me down to join him, straddling his lap facing him. He starts kissing my neck, biting my lower lip and my jaw. My nipples were so stimulated; they were almost painful, pushing out the fabric. I could feel them hard against his chest. He slowly untied my robe and opened it to my shoulders as he kissed my neck down to my breast. I tingled all over my body when he started sucking on my nipple through the fabric. I could not keep my hands out of his hair as I pulled his head down to my body, holding him close to me, not wanting him to stop. Removing my robe and letting it fall to the floor, he stands up, picking me up and carrying me to the bedroom. There were candles lit and soft music playing and the bed had been turned back. Laying me on the bed, he laid beside me, taking me in his arms and kissing me madly. “I love you so much, Alexandra, you have made me the happiest man on earth,” pulling me on top of him as he rolled to his back. He slid the straps of my gown down my arms, letting it sink to my waist, baring my breast. “I love what I see developing here,” tracing the curves of my enlarging breasts. Pulling me down to kiss him, he rolls me on my back and stands up to remove his pajama pants. I can see that he is as excited as I am and I am beginning to tremble just a bit.

“Angel, are you okay, you’re trembling. Oh my god, have I gone too far and pushed you too hard?” I could see the anxiety come over him.

I stood up and put my finger over his lips and shushed him. “No, I’m trembling because I am so excited, I can barely hold it in. If I can’t do something, you will be the first to know,” sweetly kissing his lips. He took the kiss and became more aggressive with his tongue, his hands, removing the gown, leaving me in just the lace panties. He laid me on my back, kissing his way down my body and immediately went south removing my panties and exploring my inner goddess with his tongue, biting me and sucking me in all the right places until he brought me to a sinful climax. For a few moments, I was unable to move, panting hard from his generous display of oral affection.

Deciding to climb on top of him and playfully entertain the idea of my first on-top experience, I could feel his stiff member beneath me. He was hard and he wanted me. Getting on top of him in this position would take me from the submissive to the dominant in sex. Something I learned from the books, but I think I am ready to become more aggressive, grateful that I had bought the books on sexual gratification. As I gently rocked back and forth grinding on top of him, I could feel the wetness in between my thighs, surging for him to be inside me. As I leaned down to kiss him, his eyes were large. My taking control had surprised him. I could feel his erection close to pushing into me. Lifting my hips slightly, the tip of his erection began to find its way inside me. I carefully lowered myself down on him, taking time to relax enough for him to completely penetrate me. The feeling of his fullness taking me completely was erogenous. As I sat back upright, I was completely on top of him, all of him satisfying me, pushing deep inside, and the sweet moisture of my arousal all up and down his shaft as I moved him in and out of me. His hands were on either side of my hips holding me steady as I rocked his world and mine. The notion of taking control was so raw to me, unlike anything I could imagine. I could sense my oncoming orgasm as I moved on top of him. He must have sensed it to, as he propped up on his elbows, shifting his hips slightly, sending me vibrating over the edge. I stilled as my orgasm tightened around him, leaving me panting and tingling into exhilaration. He was more than ready for his release and began to rock back and forth into me, penetrating me harder and faster. Grinding on top of him, he came exploding inside me as his head rocked back. Stilling, he moaned “Don’t move, my little sex minx, you are amazing, mind blowing!”

I stilled on top of him for several minutes as his orgasm rocked us both, then leaning forward kissing him passionately as he tried to lengthen his breathing. “Satisfied, husband-to-be?” running my finger down his nose before tracing his lips.

“That was a complete surprise and absolutely amazing, Red. You can ride me anytime you wish!” Slowly rolling me sideways, slipping out of me and facing us, “Okay, confession time, where the hell did that come from?” Looking at me in complete confusion.

“Grayson, I bought a few eBooks on sexual gratification and decided to enlighten myself, and ultimately please you.”

“Alexandra Elise Morrison, you do please me. You satisfy me in every way. Don’t get me wrong, what you just did to me blew my brains and you can do that at any time, but I hope that I haven’t made you feel inadequate or inexperienced. I love the fact that you don’t have experience and we can learn together. It makes our relationship that much more exciting. I love you for that!” Taking me into his arms, taking my mouth into his. We kissed turbulently for several minutes before he rolled me on my back and took me again, satisfying me beyond measure. He lifted my legs bending my knees to my chest as he rose up and rocked back and forth in to me, pushing harder and harder, until my orgasm clasped him deep inside, sending pulses through both our bodies. I was motionless. I could feel the tears explode down my cheeks in a sublime moment, completely sated with him still inside me. “Baby, please don’t cry, are you okay?”

“Yes, Yes, Grayson, I am more than okay, I am so complete, these are the most happiest of sexually satisfied tears, I love you so much!” reaching up to him to pull him deep into me again. He continued to penetrate me, in and out, rocking back and forth until he climaxed deep inside me, sending shivers through his body...and mine. As he stilled, I could see the sparkle in his blue eyes, I knew he was as happy as I. Tracing the outer rim of his lips; he nibbled my finger, playfully, before slipping out of me and moving to my side.

He held me to his chest and stroked my arm as I snuggled to him. “So, my wife-to-be ordered sex books and just screwed my brains out, amazingly...the perfect student!” Giggling with me.

“Um, hum, yes, we aim to please!” We drifted off to sleep, sexually gratified, blissfully happy, soon-to-be man and wife, plus one.

I awoke sometime in the early morning hours to Grayson moving behind me, pulling my hair up away from my neck, sucking and biting on my ears, my neck, pulling on my nipples and grinding his hips on me. “Let me take you from behind, I need to be inside you right now!” Before I could say anything, he was rolling me to my stomach and easing himself into my folds from behind. Slick from our previous lovemaking, he guided himself into me, his flesh pulsating from excitement. “Damn, you feel so good, that’s it, rock back and forth with me.” As he pushed into me again and again, he was pulling my hair to the side, kissing my cheeks, my mouth. Taking his hand around to stimulate me, he hit a sensitive part of my channel with the tip of his erection. The movement sent my toes a tingle and my climax clinching him.

I cried out uncontrollably, “Yes, yes, more Grayson, harder, more.” He began to devour me with his body, his hands rubbing up and down my new curves, his rhythm, pulling me up to a sitting position while he was still deep inside me. As he moved, I could feel his orgasm beginning, pulsating and exploding, his body detonated and he moaned feverishly. He slowly lowered us both down to the bed
. We both laid there for a long time before either of us could talk or move. Finally, he whispered in my ear, “Is that what you read about in the books, Red?” as he massaged my still-puckered nipples and was biting my neck, as he pulled himself out of me.

“Yes, only it is so much better in real life,” with a little whisper of a giggle. “You can do that to me any time.”

“I aim to please, Red, I aim to please.”

Falling to sleep in Grayson’s arms with the satisfaction of lovemaking between us, it just doesn’t get any happier than this.

Chapter 14

Waking up early with Grayson at the hotel was both enjoyable and sad, our special night had come to an end, but our new life was just beginning. “Hmmm, don’t move, Red, or I may get all worked up again and use you for my morning workout instead of the gym.” Kissing me good morning and patting my pelvic area, “Good morning to our plus one too. I have never been happier in my life Alexandra. Thank you for waking up my life!”

“GB, my pleasure. Speaking of my pleasure, how about making good on that morning workout threat!” As I tickled him, Grayson got on top of me, tickling me back.

“Well now, you’re presenting me a challenge, my little sex minx. Ask and you shall receive. Up for some shower time? I’ll race you, last one in services first” Laughing as he jumped off the bed.

Racing him, “Ugh, Mr. Brooks, you are such a bad boy, but receiving
LAST
is not such a bad thing!” We were laughing so loud, I feared they were going to kick us out of the hotel!

Dressed and bags packed, we made our way to the valet, taking one last minute in the elevator to lavish in our morning make-out/exercise routine, before we bid farewell to the Joule Hotel. Thinking back, I remembered
Make A Memory by Bon Jovi
that played last night in the car. We certainly did that, the most romantic proposal, the most sexual night of my life and the chemistry between me and my gorgeous, sexy husband-to-be, and our plus one. One for the memory book for sure. Riding to the airport, we were going over our agendas for the week.

“Angel, have you given any thought to the property on the lake, making it our first home?” His eyes giving me that puppy-dog look.

“Why? You know that I am in love with it and even happier that you found perfection already, but are you really ready to talk offer?”

Taking my left hand and engagement ring to his lips, giving me a slight kiss, “Only if you say yes!”

Laughing, “I think you just want me to beg, so here goes. Please, please, can we get the house on the lake?” We’re both laughing, since begging is not my forte’. I did not do a good job on that delivery. Seductress, now that is a better route, trying again, “I’ll tell you this, Dr. Brooks, if you buy me the house on the lake, I will make it worth your while when I get home!”

Giving him that come-here-to me wink that started our relationship. I think I got him, because he began to squirm in his seat, “Alexandra, you dirty little girl, yes, that is how you should always beg me and I promise to always deliver!” I unfastened my seat belt and leaned over to give him a big kiss and run my hands in places that I shouldn’t in the car.

“Okay, that is it, you are going to have to ride in the back seat from now on, in a car seat, or we are going to need limo service, if you're going to keep giving me hard-ons in the car!”

“Well, we aim to please, GB. We aim to please!” Sitting back down in my seat, enjoying how I turn him on.

“You will call me the minute you get into Chicago, right?”

“Yes, concerned worry-wart, yes, ugh, I will call you!”

“Alexandra, don’t do that. I am concerned, and I will MISS you! What time do you fly back on Friday, I will have Cooper arrange a meeting at the house for us to do another look and get our offer prepared?”

“Uhm, I haven’t scheduled the flight plan yet, I was thinking I would try to get back sooner rather than later,” not wanting to tell him I would be back tonight. I wanted to keep my return a surprise. In fact, I have now learned that I can’t tell Coop anything, because he and Grayson are tight and he tells him everything these days. He gossips worse than a girl. I suppose he is just trying to play Cupid and I love him for that, but sometimes I need to feel that he is still on my side.

We said our good-byes at the airport and I felt my heart drop, I couldn’t hold back the tears. “I love you so much. I don’t want to be apart from you for a minute, I’ll hurry home.” Crying into his shoulder, smearing my make-up everywhere and really not wanting to leave.

“You don’t have to go, you can have a service pack everything and ship it back. Change your mind and say you will stay?” Puppy dog eyes returning, his blue eyes had turned the saddest color of grey.

“With all of my personal items and then my work files, I just prefer to do everything myself. To have a stranger do it will take weeks to sort out my files, otherwise I would agree to hire a service to pack it. I promise. I’ll be back before you know it.” Kissing him once more, “I love you Grayson.”

“I love you too, plus one, hurry up and run back to me. I am so tangled up in you...in us” As he ran his hands through my hair and kissed me hard once more before I climbed onto the plane.

As I settled into the plane, subconsciously excited that I would be surprising Grayson tonight, knowing that my time away would be short. Once I get to Chicago, I will be able to share my news with Harrison and hopefully begin to bring all of the family together. I look forward to having a real family, realizing that I was as much at fault for not trying to have a relationship with my dad and Gretchen as they were. We all make mistakes but it takes someone willing to step out on the limb to make the effort to mend, or the mending never comes.

As I was deep in thought, I hadn’t realized that we had been flying for quite some time. Looking at my watch, we should have already landed, the pilot had been quiet. Picking up the intercom phone, “Are we close to landing at O’ Hare?”

An unfamiliar voice answers me, “We aren’t going to O’Hare, Ms. Morrison. Sit tight and I will give you further updates as you need to know them.” He hangs up. Oh my God, what is going on? I get up to check the door to the pilot and it is locked. Beating on the door “Hello, answer me, where are we going?” HELLO! Hello, help...Who are you, where are we going?" Something is not right. I checked my phone, no signal, I will try to send a text, maybe data will go out. I text Grayson, Cooper and Harrison:

I think my plane has been hijacked, call authorities, call Daddy

Putting my phone on charge, I want to try and keep the battery charged as much as possible. I try calling 911 but it doesn’t go out! I keep trying. I will keep calm; I have to protect my baby. Why didn’t I do what Grayson wanted? If only I had stayed. This is my fault, I never listen.

***

Harrison is worried. Alex’s plane has not arrived. Checking at the hangar, the staff calls radio control and there has been no sign of the plane since leaving Dallas. Something is wrong. Calling Alexander, he gets voice mail. “Al, you need to give me a call as soon as possible. The plane is missing with Alexandra in it.”

He has to call Grayson, calling his cell, no answer. He calls the office and asks for Zoe. “Zoe, its Harrison. I need to speak with Grayson. Alexandra’s plane is missing. It never arrived in Chicago today. I was supposed to pick her up. I never heard from her, radio control hasn’t heard from the plane since shortly after takeoff in Dallas. I have called her dad and left a message to call, Grayson needs to come home.”

“Oh no this can’t be happening, Harrison, hold on.” Zoe bursts into tears, sobbing, trying to get her words out. “He’s in surgery Harrison. I will go tell him personally, don’t call his cell. I will get us a private flight to Chicago and call you on the way to the airport. In the meantime, keep me updated.”

“Millie, please book a private jet for Grayson and I and, possibly one more, to Chicago and cancel the rest of the week. Oh God, how do I tell Grayson Alex’s plane is missing? How do I tell him that Millie?”

Running to the surgery department, Zoe finds Grayson just finishing a procedure and walking out to talk with the family, so she waits. In a few minutes, he returns back to the lounge, “Grayson, we need to talk, Alexandra’s plane is missing. We have to go to Chicago.”

She wraps her arms around him, but she can see him crumbling, he sinks into the sofa, “How do you know this?”

“Grayson, Harrison called and her plane never arrived, they have had no contact with the plane since shortly after take-off.”

“Oh, Lord, please don’t let her be in harm's way, Zoe. I asked her to marry me last night and,” beginning to break, “we are having a baby.”

Zoe breaks into tears again, grabs Grayson’s arm and leads him back to the office. “Grayson, we are going to my house to pack a bag and you can call Alex’s roommate. We will go to your apartment, get your bag and pick up her roommate if he wants to go. Come on, let’s go, Millie is getting us a private charter. I have to call Harrison back.”

As Zoe calls Harrison, Grayson calls Cooper, who will meet them at the airport. “Give me the phone, Zoe. I want to talk to Harrison.”

“How in the hell did you know about the plane, H?”

“Alex asked me to pick her up at the hangar, but her plane was really late. She was going to surprise you by coming in quick to gather her things and fly back home tonight. I tried to call her and text her, but no response. The airport staff has had no contact since shortly after take-off. I tried to call her dad, but got his voice mail. He doesn’t know yet. G, you must know that Alex and I are only friends. There has never been anything between us. We are just Bears fans, that’s it. I’ve known from the beginning that she loves you.”

“I know, H, there is so much about her you don’t know. Another thing, we are engaged. We are having a baby,” almost speaking in a whisper, his voice cracking.

“G, hang on tight, just get here as soon as you can, we
are
going to find her. I have been making calls; we have local authorities and the FBI in on this. We will find her, I promise, just you and Zoe be safe. I’ll see you soon.”

As, Cooper, Zoe and Grayson boarded the plane, Alexander Morrison phoned Grayson. “Grayson, I have received demands from the hijackers...”
