The Doctor and I(9)

Chapter 8

Kendrick waited in his office. He knew Tammy wouldn’t be home for at least a half hour, and he was debating on his reasoning. Did he really want to go there? She didn’t seem happy that he was pushing himself on her, but there was something about her. He had to figure out what it was. He wasn’t used to feeling so out of control. She challenged him on every level. Yet he saw her as an equal.

She was beautiful, sassy, hard, soft, and sweet. Even Leslie had never offered such help. He was amazed, even though he knew part of the reason she offered was to get away from him. It couldn’t have been the whole reason. No one offered to watch five sick kids just to avoid someone. She had a soft heart and had heard the desperation in Tammy’s voice. His respect for Peyton grew exponentially. He wondered how she fared with five boys all day long. He knew first-hand they were a handful.

At six, he sighed. “Fuck it.” He left and drove over to the address he took from Peyton’s application. She had to know he wouldn’t forget and he would be there waiting for her to make sure she didn’t try to avoid him. He needed to talk to her, to get to know her.

It wasn’t very professional and it definitely didn’t keep things separate like he preferred. The lines were blurring, and he wasn’t sure which side his feelings would land on. That was the point of making her talk. She fired him up and made him want things he always scorned. She made him want to be better. Fuck, he even apologized for being an ass. Not his thing.

She didn’t live far from the office and when he parked in front of her house, he shook his head. He was on the verge of being her stalker, and at that moment, he didn’t even care how crazy that looked. All that mattered was seeing her, touching her soft skin and gripping those amazing hips, pulling her curvy body against his.

He didn’t have to wait long to see her car pull into the driveway. He got out and stormed over to her car, before she even had the chance to get out, and yanked her door open. Her gasp and wide eyes did nothing to stop him from leaning in and undoing her seatbelt before pulling her out of the car. Wrapping her ponytail around his hand he tilted her head back and kissed her. It started of soft and slow, but her moan of approval sent him over the edge, and he pried her lips open and devoured her mouth, tangling his tongue with hers. His heart galloped in his chest, and his hand shook with need.

She didn’t fight him and kissed him back with every bit of pent-up tension as he did. When she sucked his lip into her mouth, he pulled back, gasping for breath.

“Why?”

He didn’t know, but it didn’t matter anymore. She was something special, and he knew she felt it the way he did. When she interlaced their fingers tugging him with her, he knew he’d finally met his match. She didn’t say a word, but there was no reason to say anything at all. He knew what was going to happen, and for the first time, it didn’t scare him that he would be spending the full night with a woman—in her territory.





Chapter 9

I took him into my home with no question as to what was going to happen. He’d kissed the life out of me, and even though I had a feeling that this was going to blow up, I couldn’t say no. Already, I felt myself growing warm for him.

I loved how I didn’t have to talk. He didn’t need to hear what I wanted. He just knew. I led him down the hall to my room and spun to face him. “Now let’s talk.”

I smirked when his eyes widened and sat on the edge of my bed.

“We can talk later,” he said, and licked his lips when I pulled my shirt over my head.

“Oh no, you said you wanted to talk. No, you demanded we were going to be talking. So tell me what was so important that it couldn’t wait until tomorrow.”

“You’re not joking, are you?”

“Nope,” I said, making the word pop.

“Dammit, woman. Do you know how much I want right now?”

“Yes.”

“And you’re not going to budge.”

“No.”

Kendrick sighed and ripped his shirt off and slid his pants off. I watched him with hidden lust mixed with amusement.

“We’ll fucking multitask then.”

I shook my head, but it was tempting. “Talk.”

“I want you. That’s what’s driving me crazy. I don’t usually want anything more than what we did already, but I find myself drawn to you. I want to know you. I also want to sink deep inside of that tight pussy.”

I stood and undressed before climbing on the bed. “Well, what the hell are you waiting for? We’ll fucking multitask” I couldn’t help but repeat him.

He nodded and then he was on the body, on me, over me, and then in me. I gasped at the intrusion and then sighed. He felt amazing and I had a feeling things were about to get real.
