this excerpt from Boy Toy:
The covers shifted
again and I could feel the section near me, behind my back, lifting as he
scooted closer. The warmth of his body was settled very close to and almost
against mine, mirroring my shape like a puzzle piece. His voice was a low
whisper in my ear, a single-syllable question. “Spoon?”
My mind went through
rapid-fire calculations. Spoon? What would be the consequences of that? Should
I do it? I churned through the outcomes of either saying yes or no but, after a
moment, threw my pros and cons list out the window as the conclusion of, what the hell, why not?came to me. He
was cute and I could use a little spooning. It wasn’t something I got to do
often.
“Mm-hm.” I scooted
backward into his embrace.
He slid his hand
around my waist, his fingers sliding along my rib cage all the way around until
he was cupping my other side. Then he nestled his face in my hair and inhaled
my scent. “You smell nice,” he whispered.
“Thanks,” I murmured
back. For some reason I kept my voice low as if talking too loud would break
the spell. It felt so good to have all six feet of his firm body stretched
along mine. Even pressed against my back I could sense the various muscles
making contact with me. The slow rhythm of his breath just skimming my ear was
nice. I let go of all the typical female questions that rose up in my mind at
the scenario and enjoyed the moment.
There had been so
many times in my life I had imagined waking up in bed with my husband just like
this, feeling a new day awakening with me safe and cozy in my true love’s arms.
It was one of those dreams that, now, was becoming painful to replay as my singleness
continued to stretch out year after year. In a moment like this it was easy to
take it out of the closet, dust it off, and use it as a sort of atmosphere to
what was actually going on. When things like this happened it reinforced the
fact that I really did want to get married. It was just a matter of Mr. Right
showing up. No matter how my logical mind kept trying to force Grant into the
shape of that hole, my true self stood back shaking its head and saying, “It’s
not going to work. There’s too big of an issue there.”
After a few minutes
of laying in silence together with the rise and fall of our chests matching, I
could feel myself starting to slip away again into dreamland. But then Harrison
shifted his hips, scooting closer to my backside. My eyes shot open as it
registered exactly what was pressing against my ass and lower back.
Morning
wood!
