reaction was immediate, and he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. “I love you too, beautiful.” He could feel himself pulse within her, and he groaned, knowing she could feel it too.
“Wow, I thought the refractory period would be longer than two to three minutes.”
Daniel brought his lips to her breasts and placed light kisses in response. “I guess the person who wrote that in your medical textbooks was not bonded to you .” He lifted her from the bench and held her securely as she wrapped her arms around his neck and locked her legs behind his back. After he turned the water off, he carried her out of the shower and into her bedroom where he proceeded to make love to her again.
He had waited for her; he wanted this closeness for so long, and now that he had the chance, he wouldn’t waste a second. He took her over and over, carrying her into every room of the house, even on the kitchen floor. The kitchen floor was a compromise because Alicia would not allow him to have her on the table or on the island. “I’ll never let you go.”
Chapter 12
Alicia woke with a start, and squinted when the light of morning greeted her through her basement windows. “What time is it?”
“Hmm?” Daniel responded in a sleepy voice, and she could feel his deep relaxation. Without any other words, he pulled her closer and drifted back into sleep.
“Daniel, let me up! I need to shower and get to work.” Alicia struggled to free herself from his embrace and the tangle of their legs. Her actions were halted when she felt his arms close in a firm grip around her.
“No.” He opened his eyes and glared at her as if she’d committed a crime.
“No? What do you mean, no?” She lifted an eyebrow and tilted her head as she stared at him. Why does he think he has a right to tell me I can’t go to work?
“I’m not trying to keep you from work, beautiful, but someone tried to kidnap you yesterday. You can’t just walk out of here like nothing happened. Can’t you take the day off while Chris and I figure out a way to have a few guards around you?”
His explanation calmed her, and she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “I have patients, surgery, important commitments… I can’t just take off from work. People’s lives are at stake here, not just my own.”
“You have to understand where I’m coming from, beautiful. Someone, not just anyone mind you, but someone from the nation of Ver-Rist Tokos tried to take you. I can’t ignore that.”
“Ver-Rist Tokos?”
“Let me explain.” Sitting up, Daniel held both of her hands in his as he prepared to give her the details.
“Danny, please. I can’t just leave my patients like this. I have to go to work today at the very least, while we figure out what’s going on.”
“Then I’m going with you.”
“Going with me to the hospital?” It wasn’t strange for him to meet her at work to take her out to lunch or dinner, but he’d never visited for long periods of time.
“Mm-hmm, there is no way in the Mariana Trench I am leaving you alone when I know you aren’t safe.”
“Just how is this going to work? I have surgeries. You can’t just walk into the OR and hang out. There are protocols, and we don’t allow visitors in that space.”
“I won’t have to be in the OR. I just need to be in the hospital, preferably on the same floor as you. Come with me; I need to give you something.” Daniel stood up and offered his hand. When she took it, he led her up the stairs to the main level. After running upstairs and putting on his pants and undershirt, he ran out to his car. When he left, Alicia grabbed a robe from the bathroom on the first floor and took a seat at the kitchen island.
When he came back in, he joined her in the kitchen and took out a large glass and filled it with water from the sink before he set it on the counter behind her. “These are for you.” He offered his open palms and waited.
Alicia looked at the ring and
