She smiled saucily. “I thought you wanted to come inside?”
“You better believe I plan to do a lot of cummin’.” Remington pulled Sky’s body flush into the hard planes of his body and kissed her. She opened like a flower, and he slipped his tongue inside the hot cavern of her mouth. Their kiss was hot. A continuation of what they started on the roof-top.
Remington walked Sky backward into her condo and closed the door with his foot. Her hands snaked up into his hair. With his one free hand, Remington squeezed her ass into his hardness. Her moan made him want her more than he wanted his next breath. But, he kept hearing the words, don’t mess this up, in the back of his head. He tore his lips away. Breathing heavy, he rested his forehead against hers.
Sky whispered. “What’s wrong?”
“Not a damn thing. But, I need to tell you that I’ve made a decision.”
“About what?”
“Just to be clear, there is nothing about you that is casual. Not this kiss, or the sex we’re going to have. I’m done trying to deny how I feel. I know what I want. I’ve decided to take ownership of you—mind, body, and soul. So, I’m going to take my time. I have all night to do whatever my heart desires.”
Sky pulled back slightly. “You’ve decided, huh? I don’t have any say-so? You think it’s that easy?”
“We knew it from the moment you opened the door.” Remington nipped at the soft column of her neck. It took all of his strength to slow things down. His voice was husky. “How about some more wine?”
“More?”
He threw his head back and laughed. “I tasted the merlot you were drinking before I got here.”
Sky shrugged. “C’mon. I needed a drink. But, once you offered me some of yours, I dumped mine. Figured yours would be better.”
“Everything about me is better.”
“Oh, Gawd.” Sky took him by the hand and led him to her living room. “You are so full of yourself, Mr. Kneeland. You better be able to back it up.”

Sky sat snuggled up to Remington with her head resting on his shoulder watching a late night talk show. Actually, it was watching them. The volume was low and it really only served as background noise as they talked about everything.
Remington laced his fingers with hers. “Earlier, you said you had a rough day. Want to talk about it?”
Sky looked heavenward. Are you really answering prayers this quickly? If so, I have a few more requests. She ran her hand down his chest. “Actually, no. I don’t want to introduce any negative energy here.”
As if she weighed nothing, Remington lifted Sky and sat her on his lap. He cradled her cheek in his hands and brought her face inches from his. “You’re beautiful.”
Sky could feel the heat of his breath tickle her lips. “So are you.”
Remington kissed her. “I haven’t been with a woman in the past couple of months. But, after the last time, I had a physical. I’m clean.”
Sky cleared her throat. She always made sure Noah wore a condom when they had sex, and they both had been tested before they became intimate. “So, am I and I’m on the pill.”
He stood. “Then, I think it’s time.”
“For what?” Sky giggled.
“For me to make good on my promise. Which way to your bedroom?”
She pointed, and Remington carried her as if she weighed nothing. All the lights were off in her room except for a lone night-light. It cast a beautiful glow around them.
Remington deposited Sky into the center of her bed like she was the most precious thing in the world.
Sky bit her bottom lip in anticipation as he started to remove his clothes. When he stood in front of her wearing absolutely nothing, her mouth went completely dry. However, she was able to find a few words. “I’m feeling a bit overdressed.”
Remington crawled into bed and up her body. “You won’t for long.” He took her mouth in another toe-curling kiss.
He didn’t lie. Remington grabbed the hem of her negligee and pulled it up and over her head tossing it somewhere around the room. And, just like that, they were both naked.
He sat back a little bit so that he could stare at the beauty spread out before him. Tenderly, Remington ran his thumb across her bottom lip. “You’re so beautiful. You can’t imagine how long I’ve thought about making love to you.”
“Probably not nearly as long as I have.”
He could see the honesty in her eyes, and it completely destroyed his restraint.
He kissed her hard on the lips. Sky’s eyes fluttered closed. She relished the feel of his touch when his hands began to travel up her ribcage to cup her breasts. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed each one. But the little volcanic eruptions between her thighs came when he pulled a tight little bud into his mouth. He made love to it just like she knew he was going to make love to her body. He swirled his tongue around her nipple and then sucked hard. The sting made Sky’s back bow.
“I’m not sure which one of your breasts is my favorite. It’ll take some time to figure out.” Remington made sure to lavish her other breast with the same attention.
He used his knee to prompt Sky to open for him. She spread her legs wide as he moved their bodies so that he lay in-between her thighs.
His cock was pressed up against her entrance. Sky was anxious to feel him moving inside of her and couldn’t stop squirming. Every time she moved it triggered a pleasure so intense that it caused her to lose her breath. The feeling was so delicious, her body wanted more and began to move uncontrollably on its own. She had to stop before she lost her chance.
“Wait.” Sky quickly switched places with Remington and straddled him. She had been fantasizing about this. She slid lower and lower until his shaft, and her lips were almost touching.
He felt the heat of her breath on his cockhead. Remington completely lost the ability to breathe on his one. But, then, when Sky pulled him into her mouth, he most assuredly had been transported to heaven.
Sky couldn’t wait to taste Remington. She sucked the length of him into her mouth inch by excruciatingly slow inch until she reached the base of his dick. Then, she sealed her mouth closed around it.
Heaven was too small a place for where Remington thought he’d landed.
It took a moment for Sky to adjust to Remington’s size. He was so large it took all of Sky’s concentration to breathe through her nose and flattened her tongue. But, then, she started to move. She ran her lips up and down squeezing his girth with her hand and mouth.
“Shit. You . . . Sky.” Remington couldn’t form one complete sentence. He slid his hands into her thick dark hair as she picked up the pace.
He pulled his bottom lip into his mouth and bit it as he watched her work.
Sky raised up on her knees, but her elbows were anchored just outside of Remington’s hips. It forced her ass in the air. She looked up at Remington watching him watch her as she stroked him up and down with her wet mouth. The heat in his eyes made her pump faster and faster.
Remington held her head cradled in his hands so tightly that every time she pulled back, it stung. She loved it. As a matter of fact, his heated gaze and the pinch of the pain were the hottest things she had ever experienced.
It caused her own core to spasm and beg to be filled.
Remington pulsed around her tongue, and she tasted his pre-cum. “Mmm. So good.”
The vibration of her words was almost enough to drive him over the edge. He knew if she kept it up, he would lose it. Somehow, Remington managed to disengage Sky and flip her over onto her back.
“I wasn’t finished.” She said in a husky tone.
His mouth met hers again as he nestled himself at her entrance. “The first time I cum needs to be inside of you.”
Remington grabbed hold of his shaft and slid it up and down the crease of Sky’s entrance. She was dripping wet.
Her body was clenching at air until Remington began to ease forward inch by excruciating inch. The grip Sky’s body had on him wa
s tight as she squeezed and pulsed around his hardness. Damn, hot and tight. The perfect combination.
Sky moaned and lifted her hips.
Remington couldn’t take it any longer and surged all the way inside until he was deeply embedded within her body.
Sky cried out.
He pulled back, then thrust forward again, finding a frantic and hurried rhythm.
Sky dug her nails into his back. Her head thrashed from side to side as he pounded into her. The sound of him sliding in and out of her body, the headboard crashing against the wall, and her screams of his name was going to have the neighbors looking at her crazy, but Sky didn’t care. Being with Remington was worth a little crazy.
He continued to fuck her senseless. He pumped in and out hitting her g-spot every time. Sky was building toward an orgasm the likes of which she had never experienced. And, then, Remington hooked one of Sky’s legs over his shoulder and adjusted his angle for an even deeper penetration. Was it possible to die from pleasure? Sky thought it might be.
The sound of him slapping against the back of her leg with each and every stroke also found Remington close to exploding.
“Oh, God!” Sky grabbed handfuls of her sheets and clenched them in her hands.
Remington could feel the beginnings of her orgasm. He thrust hard, ramming in and out of her. Sweat was glistening off of both their bodies.
“Shit!” He cried out. He felt himself tighten. He couldn’t hold on any longer and reached between them to rub Sky’s clit.
She exploded. She squeezed her eyes shut and allowed wave after wave of organic bliss to wash over her. It was not only the best orgasm she had ever experienced but also the longest.
Seconds later, feeling her clench around him, Remington growled and released his seed deep within her body.
After he emptied ever last bit of himself, he gently lowered Sky’s leg and collapsed next to her feeling wholly and completely satisfied.
It took a while before their breathing got back to normal. But, eventually, it did. However, while they were still feeling the euphoric effects of their lovemaking, Remington pulled Sky into the crook of his arm and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Moments later, they were both asleep.
Chapter 21
Noah didn’t bother to knock when he entered Dr. Shaw’s office. “Have you heard? A reporter just called me for a statement. The shit is going to hit the fan in the morning.”
He responded. “I heard. I am working on a plan to minimize the damage.”
“There is only one way to limit the hospital’s exposure, which if we handle correctly, will also help us with our Sky Kirby problem.”
Dr. Shaw looked up from his computer screen. “Let’s not pretend like this won’t save you from having to stand before the medical board.”
“There is that.” Noah didn’t see any point in denying it. “Who would have leaked the information to the press?”
Shane turned accusatory eyes towards him. “My guess is Jazlyn Farrow.”
“Jazlyn?” Noah genuinely looked surprised. “Why would she?”
“Because you can’t keep it in your pants.” Shane was pissed. “I can’t keep cleaning up your messes, Noah.”
Noah ignored his remark. “I don’t see how it benefits her to leak anything.”
“She hates Sky. It’s low hanging fruit. Jazlyn came to see me about a week ago about filing a harassment report against her. She claims you, and she have a consensual sexual relationship, and when Sky found out, she retaliated against her since she also has a thing for you. Sky is a lot of things, but I highly doubt she would do something like that. I considered allowing Jazlyn to file the report as a way to get Sky out of my hair, but screwing Sky would also screw you, and more importantly this hospital, so I talked Jazlyn out of making a claim.”
“She’s lying. You should fire her.”
“On what grounds? That she’s a liar? Right.” Shane rolled his eyes. “Underestimating these women is going to cost you. Do you honestly think Jazlyn doesn’t have e-mails, texts, and more to back-up some of her claims?”
“It’s impossible. It never happened.”
Shane was skeptical. “So, you weren’t sleeping with her?”
“I mean, yes. I was but—”
“Then, at the very least she could create a scandal. If you haven’t noticed, I’m already in the middle of cleaning one up.”
Noah rubbed the back of his neck. “What are we going to do? It could potentially come back on me?”
“I’m having Sky’s e-mails scrubbed, and I just need you to sign this.” Shane handed him a pen and pushed paperwork in front of him.
“Those are not my notes. They are Sky’s.” Noah hesitated.
“Do you want to keep your job?”
He wasn’t going down over that Kneeland girl. Noah reached for the pen and signed his signature on the bottom line.
Shane smiled. “Great. Now, all that’s left is to release my statement. Hopefully, in a week or two, this will all blow over, and we can get back to our lives.”
Cassie Meadows had stopped by Dr. Shaw’s office to discuss the open Sr. Surgical Nursing position. She had no idea anyone was in his office until she heard voices. She had planned to turn around and come back later, but once she heard Sky’s name she quieted and remained outside the door and listened.
*****
Somewhere in the recesses of Sky’s sleep clouded mind, she heard her phone buzz. For a few seconds, she ignored it. Instead, she lay nestled inside the warm crook of Remington’s arms. Even in twilight, a small smile played around the edges of her lips as she thought about the incredible night they’d had.
Her phone continued to buzz.
No, not yet. Sky groaned.
Not that it was possible, but she tried to snuggle even closer to him while breathing in his manly scent. Unfortunately, the bubble they had created for themselves was about to burst. Still, Sky was not ready for the outside world to intrude on their moment, but she had no choice.
Bzzt Bzzzt! Bzzt Bzzzt! Sky reached up and answered the phone.
“Dr. Kirby.” Her voice was groggy from sleep.
“This is Madison Holly from the Chicago Daily News. I wanted to get a statement from you regarding your involvement in the Charlie Kneeland cover-up.”
Sky pushed herself up. “What? What cover-up? Is this a joke?”
“No. We are running a story in our morning paper about your relationship with Kane Langston and his abuse of Charlie Kneeland.”
Sky started to choke.
The noise roused Remington from sleep. His eyes opened just a crack until they were fully open. Sky held the silky sheet they slept under crushed to her chest. It may have covered her front, but it didn’t do a damn thing to cover her naked body from the back. He stared in admiration at her smooth, caramel-colored skin, thinking about how he had tasted every square inch of it. If by some miracle he had missed a spot, Remington planned to rectify that mistake as soon as she got off the phone.
His hands slid up and down her spine as his fingers caressed her soft skin. Remington had a strong desire to brand Sky as his, and after making love, he felt as if he had done just that.
Remington hadn’t been this invested in a woman in years. The feeling was surprising because he didn’t think he would ever again. But, there was something special about Sky. Remington didn’t know if it was because neither of them expected much from the opposite sex, or because Charlie’s accident set the stage for them to share their deepest secrets with one another. Remington couldn’t call it. He just knew they had been fighting a losing battle of attraction that had bubbling underneath the surface for too long.
“There has got to be a mistake.” Sky’s body tensed.
Remington hadn’t realized it before because he was caught up in his own thoughts, but something was wrong.
The reporter continued to grill Sky. “So, you deny the cover-up or the relationship?”
“Both! Nothing could
be further from the truth. What you are about to print is both slander and defamation. If you do it, I will own the Chicago Daily News!”
“Our sources are pretty solid.”
“Then, why call me just a few hours away from running the story for a statement?!”
“Due diligence, ma’am.”
Sky was going to be sick.
“We received a statement from the Chief-of-Staff, Dr. Shane Shaw. Since it appears as if you are hearing all of this for the first time, I’ll read it to you. ‘St. Lucia’s Hospital is unaware of any rumored relationships between Dr. Sky Kirby and anyone associated with Charlene ‘Charlie’ Kneeland. However, if there were any signs of abuse the night Ms. Kneeland was admitted, Dr. Kirby was the attending physician. She had a duty—No, a responsibility to report any suspicions. In her report, there was no mention of abuse. Therefore, based on these new allegations from Bella Lord-Langston, we are launching a full-scale investigation into the matter. And until it is resolved, Dr. Kirby will be placed on administrative leave.”
Sky was speechless.
The reporter continued. “Would you like to change your statement? Did you not report any abuse suspicions due to your rumored romantic relationship with Kane Langston?”
“No comment.” Sky disconnected and slowly lowered the phone.
Concerned, Remington sat up and massaged Sky’s shoulders. “Everything alright?”
Before she could respond, Remington’s own cell started to ring. He whispered into her ear. “I’ve got to take it. It could be the hospital.”
“Wait.” Sky placed her hand on his, but Remington had already picked up. His eyes said I’m sorry. “Remington.”
It was his lawyer. “REM, where are you?”
He looked at Sky. “I’m not at the hospital.”
“I know that. I’m here with Bella. Have you looked at any of your social media accounts?”
“No. I’ve been asleep.”
“Check it, and then high-tail you ass to the hospital. We need to get Charlie moved.”
Remington was a little panicked. “Is she okay?”
“She’s fine.”
“Okay, checking now. I’ll call you on the way to the hospital.”
