“But the doctor—”
“Trust me?”
Her smile dazzled him when she replied, “Yes, Eli.”
“Then rest for me. I’ll be back.”
When Eli’s feet hit the porch, he was flying high. He pulled out his phone and dialed while he started his truck. He made phone call after phone call, saving Grace for last to give Rachel a chance to call her first. She screamed so loud Eli’s ear hurt. Kelly’s reaction was a not-so-distant echo of Grace’s. Within the next two hours, he had all the arrangements made. He returned with take-out food for supper and fed her from his own plate, sharing a glass of tea with her.
After eating their supper, he took a warm shower then returned with her hairbrush. His hips were wrapped in a dark blue bath towel, but his massive erection was plainly visible. She grinned suggestively at him, obviously game for whatever plans he’d made for this evening. Unfortunately, they only had until seven thirty when he needed to go in to work at The Pony.
He helped her sit up and turn so that he could brush out her long, silky hair.
She sighed in obvious enjoyment, and his cock twitched in response. He ran his fingers through it as he brushed enjoying the feel of it, then laid the brush aside.
Her Gentle Giant, Part 1: No Regrets

He reached down and slid her pajama top carefully over her head. Her hair fell back and settled in shining waves down to the small of her back.
Facing her, he slid his hands over her shoulders and through her hair to her hips. He slid his fingers into her waistband, and she rose on her knees so he could lower the bottoms. Then he helped her recline on the bed as he removed the bottoms and her panties from her legs, leaving her completely nude. The only thing covering any part of her was the cast on her left arm.
All her scars were exposed now, and as he laid her down, he kissed them all gently one by one, kissing her left shoulder and hand last before leaning over to kiss her lips. A shiver rippled delicately through her frame as she touched him. Her soft fingertips drifted through his chest hair then over his shoulder and into his hair, causing him to shudder in pleasure at her touch. She looked up into his eyes and kissed him. Her lips were so soft and lush, and he savored the delicate brush of her tongue against his.
As he kissed her, she lowered her hand and ran it lightly over his erection, still covered by the bath towel. His shaft responded eagerly, and he knew he’d better get a hold on that response or this would be over too quickly. Loosening the towel, she drew it off his hips then gently stroked his cock, which was so hard it was painful.
“Angel, it’s been so long, and I’ve missed you. If you keep doing that, I’m going to come before we even get started.” He backed away from her reach. He helped her lie down with her head on a pillow and then positioned her to his liking. She looked up at him, breathless and trusting, her eyes telling him she needed his touch as much as he needed hers. He caught the scent of her arousal, and his cock responded, pulsing with eagerness.
“Doc was concerned about strenuous sexual activity when he told you to wait two more weeks, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t gently love each other and bring each other release. You’ll have to wait two weeks more for harder and faster, but I’m going to give it to you slow and sweet right now, angel. Try to stay still, okay?” he asked as he put a pillow beside each knee.
He began by kissing the arches of her feet then moved over her instep and up her ankles. He teased her with soft, warm kisses but stopped at the juncture of her thigh and hip then started with the other foot.
He noticed she made a concerted effort to do as he asked, but he could tell by the soft sounds she made how difficult it was. He drew his fingers up and down the back of her thighs in a light tickling touch that made her

whimper in pleasure. As he finished with each long leg, he positioned it on the pillow he’d placed on either side of her. Her cast lay resting on the bed with her left hand lying over her abdomen. He lifted that hand, kissed it, and felt her tremble.
“Comfortable?” he asked softly.
“Very,” she replied, the need evident in her shaky voice.
Kneeling between her knees, he stretched over her and kissed her again, deeply, stroking her velvety soft tongue with his in slow tender caresses.
He slid his hand over her shoulder and collarbone to her breastbone. She closed her eyes and sighed in contentment. His hand cupped one full, lush breast and sucked at its tip before sliding to the other and teasing the nipple mercilessly until she was breathless and then switched and suckled on the other nipple.
Her fingertips slid down his bare chest, and he backed away before she could reach his cock again. He kissed his way down her abdomen, pressing his lips gently to the skin beside her new surgical scar. She gasped, and gooseflesh rose under his lips for a few seconds. He dipped his tongue in her belly button, and she giggled. He continued his slow descent, and she opened herself wide for him, perfectly at ease in his arms with only his hair covering her from his view. Dipping down again to the juncture of her upper thigh and hip, he kissed his way down to her inner thigh, and she moaned happily as he nuzzled her fragrant, damp outer lips with his lower lip. He gently spread her open.
