Chasing You

  Reaching down, I rubbed my ankle and moaned. “The pain. It’s so bad, I don’t think I’m going to be able to even sleep.”

  With a probing gaze, Meagan cocked her head to the side and shook her head. “You’re not even hurt, are you?”

  My eyes drifted over to the window. The snow was coming down so hard now I knew there was no way I’d be able to take Meagan home. My eyes were burning as I forced myself to stay awake. I didn’t even know how many hours I had been up at this point, but my body was for sure beginning to feel it now that I was sitting down.

  “It might be feeling a little better. The only way to know is if you shake that sweet ass of yours.”

  Meagan’s teeth sunk down into her lip as she moved her eyes over my body. “Do I get to pick out the song?”

  My dick jumped as I sat up straighter and got my sixth wind. “Yep, you’ve got song choice.”

  Stay. Cool. Grayson.

  Standing, Meagan flashed me an evil smile. “Okay. Give me a second here to think.”

  I closed my eyes as Meagan made her way over to her phone. Please don’t let me be asleep and dreaming.

  My body jumped when Meagan cleared her throat. “I need to change out of these jeans.”

  I tried like hell to swallow the lump in my throat as I simply pointed to my room. Meagan headed toward my bedroom as I dropped my head back and stared up at the ceiling. What song would she pick? Would she really get into this? God, I hope she doesn’t touch me because I don’t think I can keep up with the whole goddamn best friend thing.

  “Ready?”

  Lifting my head, my mouth fell open as I took in the sight before me. Meagan had changed into one of my T-shirts that fell to the middle of her thighs. My eyes moved down her body as I moaned and adjusted my hardening dick.

  “They’re just high heel shoes, Gray.”

  “No. No, they are so much more than just high heels, baby.”

  “Should you really be looking at your best friend like that?”

  Licking my lips, I nodded my head. “Just dance, Meg.”

  Meagan turned and walked over and plugged her phone into my speakers. The moment I heard the song, I dropped my head back and groaned.

  “God, help me be strong.”

  Beyoncé’s “Dance for You” began playing as I lifted my head and watched Meagan sit on the coffee table with her back facing toward me. If I thought I loved this girl before, I had fallen way over the edge for her with this . . . and she hadn’t even started dancing.

  The music started and Meagan’s hands moved over her body. With the first beat, her legs spread open and she moved like I’d never seen her move before.

  “Meagan,” I whispered as I watched her whip her hair around as her body moved perfectly to the beat of the song. She stood and put her leg on the coffee table as I forced myself to remember to breathe.

  Walking up to me, she dropped her hands to my knees and moved her hips as my mind instantly thought of all the times Meagan had been on top of me, fucking me fast and hard.

  “I’m going to die. Right here. Right now.”

  Meagan smiled as she pushed off me and shook her ass around as she moved her hands across her body.

  Taking a few steps back, she leaned over the chair and slowly lifted the T-shirt as she stared into my eyes.

  I wonder if I could talk her into doing this every day for the rest of our lives?

  “Is this what you wanted, Gray?” Meagan asked as she sat down on the chair and continued to torture me with the way her body was moving. Legs were spreading open . . . then closing. Hands moved over her body as she touched her breasts and I let out a deep growl from the back of my throat.

  Meagan moved to the couch and kneeled next to me as she got into the beat of the song.

  I swallowed hard as Meagan stood in front of me. Pushing the blanket off of me, I stood and pulled her to me as she gasped at the feel of my dick pushing against her stomach.

  It didn’t take long for our bodies to melt into one as we danced together. I’d never danced with anyone like that before and it felt so fucking right.

  Placing my hand on her lower back, I dropped her back as my eyes took in the pulse beating in her neck.

  I lifted her and pulled her closer to me as she hooked her leg around me. Meagan’s chest was heaving as she looked directly into my eyes. “I take it that made your ankle feel better?”

  My mind was spinning as I tried to make sense of everything. I wanted to tell Meagan exactly what I was thinking. I loved her. I wanted her and only her. Her body did things to me I’d never be able to understand. Her smile shook the very ground I stood on. Her laughter pierced through my chest and made my heart stronger.

  “Gray?” Meagan whispered as she ran her finger over my lower lip. “I should go home.”

  I slowly nodded my head. “You can’t.”

  With a sexy grin, Meagan asked, “Why? Cause you can’t drive?”

  Shaking my head, I gave her a sexy grin. “It’s snowing too hard. I think you’re stuck here.”

  When her lips parted open, I was sure the earth moved. “Huh. Then I guess I should go take a shower.”

  “Alone?”

  Her tongue slowly danced across her lips as she nodded her head and her hands landed on my chest. Meagan slowly pushed me down on the couch as she crawled over me and pushed her pussy against my dick. “You have no idea how much I want you to fuck me.”

  “The fuck I don’t,” I said as I grabbed onto her hips and pushed up against her, causing her to moan.

  Meagan began grinding her body against mine as I dropped my head back and moved my hands up to her breasts. “I want you so fucking bad.”

  Her lips moved softly across my neck as she whispered, “I want you too, Gray.”

  My body relaxed as her lips took me to a place of euphoria. Who the fuck knew simple kisses could be so damn hot.

  It was getting harder to keep my eyes open as Meagan pressed against my dick and kissed along my jaw line.

  “Fuck, baby. Feels. So. Good.”

  I felt as if I was floating on cloud nine while Meagan lightly kissed my lips.

  “Gray? Baby, you’re falling asleep.”

  As I drifted off into a deep sleep, I wrapped my arms around her as the world slipped away. Life would never be better than this.

  I loved her.

  I loved her so much.

  Meagan

  SMILING, I WATCHED as Grayson slipped further away from me. “Gray? Baby, you’re falling asleep.”

  Grayson wrapped his arms around me. “I love you. I love you so much.”

  My body froze as I stared at him. It wasn’t long before he started snoring and his arms slowly fell to his side.

  Holy shit.

  Oh. My. God.

  I slowly crawled off of Grayson and stood. Did he just? Wait. Did I just hear?

  Turning away from him, I slammed my hands over my mouth to keep my scream in.

  Grayson said he loved me.

  No. He was falling asleep. That doesn’t count. Does it?

  I grabbed the T-shirt and my phone and quickly made my way to Grayson’s bedroom where I quietly shut the door. Pulling up my contacts, I found Grace’s number.

  Wait. Maybe I should call Libby. She’d be more levelheaded, but then she had a newborn, so she’d be tired. Speaking of, I needed to get my little nephew, Trey, a present. Damn it.

  My sister. Yeah, I’ll call, Taylor. Then again, Alex is the most levelheaded one.

  Closing my eyes, I moved my fingers over my favorites list. When I opened my eyes, I was on Grace’s name.

  Shit.

  I hit her number and paced back and forth until she answered.

  “Bitch, you better have something good to tell me if you’re calling after midnight.”

  “Oh shit, I’m sorry, Grace! I didn’t realize it was so late.”

  Grace let out a long dramatic sigh. “It’s okay. At least tell me you’re calling because you had mind blowing
sex.”

  “Better!”

  Silence. Followed by some movement and a door quietly closing. “Better? What in the world would be better for you than mind blowing sex?”

  “First. I need a second opinion from your opinion so say one of our other best friends names. First one that comes to your mind.”

  “Um . . . Lauren?”

  “Okay, hold on!”

  I clicked over and hit Lauren’s number.

  It sounded as if Lauren answered and then dropped her phone. “Hello! Meg? Is everything okay?”

  “Yes! Sorry Lauren to call so late. Hold on, let me get Grace back on the line.”

  I brought Grace back on and cleared my throat. “Are you both there?”

  Grace and Lauren both said yes at the same time.

  “Meg, what’s going on?” Lauren asked.

  I drew in a deep breath and slowly blew it out. “Okay, so I had the most amazing day of my life today.”

  “Hot sex?” Lauren asked as I rolled my eyes.

  “No! Damn it, y’all. My life is not only about sex.”

  There was a moment of silence before Grace and Lauren both started laughing.

  “Says the girl who sucked her cucumber like a boss,” Lauren said with another chuckle.

  I took in a deep breath and counted to five. “Do you want to hear my news or not?”

  “Yes! Of course we do, sweets. Sorry. Lauren, behave for Christ’s sake.”

  “Me? Tell me you didn’t think sex first?”

  Grace laughed. “Oh, no I did.”

  “Ugh! Stop you two!”

  “Sorry, Meg. You had the best day of your life. Why?” Lauren asked.

  “Okay, so I was pissed at Grayson and then he showed up and said he wanted to spend the day together but as friends only. We went ice skating and then he brought me up to his moms and we ate lunch and—”

  “What?” Lauren shouted.

  “Hold the fucking phone! You met Ashley?” Grace shouted into the phone as I quickly started getting undressed for my shower. Glancing around, I saw Grayson’s robe and slipped it on as I heard a door open and close through the phone.

  “Noah! Wake up! Grayson took Meg to meet Aunt Ashley.”

  Noah mumbled something as I tip toed back out to Grayson’s living room to check on him. He was out cold.

  Turning, I headed back into the bathroom and shut the door. “No, I’m delirious from being pregnant,” Grace said as I heard a door shut again.

  “Can we move on from meeting Gray’s mom?”

  “No!” Grace said. “Meg, that is like huge. A guy like Gray doesn’t bring home just any girl.”

  “Oh my glitter! This is so romantic. You met his mom!” Lauren said as she sighed dramatically into the phone. At this rate I’m thinking I would have been better with the sleep-deprived new mother.

  “Moving. On,” I said as I sat down on the toilet. “So anyway, after that we went to a club and Gray danced. Jesus H. Christ, it was hot as hell.”

  “Gray danced? As in he stripped?” Lauren asked as concern filled her voice.

  “No, not really. His old boss was there, and they had a few guys dancing, only taking off shirts and stuff, they weren’t showing anything. Anyway, she asked Gray to dance and he said yes, and he put me on stage and got me all turned on and I couldn’t do anything because today we were just friends.” I dragged in a deep breath and kept talking.

  “Then Claire was there and I got pissed and did what I always do and took off, but Gray wouldn’t let me and I ended up telling him everything about Claire and what she did to me in college.”

  “Good!” Grace said.

  “Yes, I agree with Grace. I’m glad you told him about that bitch.”

  I nodded my head even though they couldn’t see me. “Well, then he twisted his ankle, but he really didn’t—he just said he did and we came back to his place and he told me the only way he’d feel better was if I danced for him, so . . . I did.”

  “What song?” Grace and Lauren asked together. How in the hell they were keeping up, I’ll never know.

  “‘Dance For You’ by Beyoncé.”

  “Nice!” Grace said as Lauren giggled. “Then you had hot sex.”

  “I tried to.”

  “Um . . . you tried to? Meg . . . I’ve never known you not to be able to have sex. Especially with Gray. I’m pretty sure his sergeant was made for your Wonder Woman.”

  Lauren busted out laughing as I bit down on my lip to keep from laughing.

  “Shut up, Grace. Shall I get back to my story now?”

  “Please do,” Grace said.

  “Anyway, I thought things were going to move on, but Grayson had been up for hours. He worked all through the previous night, so I honestly don’t even know how long he had been up for . . . well he fell asleep as I tried to get my sex on.”

  “So, let me get this straight,” Grace said, “you spent the day with him as friends only.”

  “Yes.”

  “Then you met his mom, as friends only.”

  “Uh-huh,” I whispered as I chewed on my nail.

  “Then he took you out, danced and put his junk all up on you, right?”

  “Oh yes he did.”

  “Then you returned the favor after you finally told him about the whore, Claire?”

  “Yes.”

  “And as you were getting hot and heavy, he fell asleep.”

  “Right.”

  “Okay yeah, I’m with Grace on this one, why in the hell did you call us in the middle of the night to tell us that, Meg?”

  I closed my eyes and pulled in a deep breath through my nose before I pushed it slowly out between my lips. “I called y’all because as he was falling asleep he . . . he um . . . well . . . he said . . .”

  “What? What did he say for the love of all things good?” Lauren said.

  “He said he loved me. But earlier today he said he was falling in love with me. I forgot to tell y’all that part. It was during an amazing kiss.”

  “Wait a second. I need to process,” Grace said slowly.

  Lauren gasped. “How in the hell do you forget to tell us he told you he was falling in love with you? Oh. My. Glitter. This is huge!”

  Grace cleared her throat. “What did you say to him?”

  “When?”

  “Jesus H. Christ, Meg. When he said he was falling in love with you.”

  My heart felt like it stopped beating. “I said I was falling in love with him too.”

  Grace and Lauren both gasped. “Holy fucking shit balls, this is huge!” Grace said as Lauren chuckled.

  “This is beyond huge, Grace! Meg’s in love! Meg. Is. In. Love!”

  I rolled my eyes as I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my left arm around them. “Gesh, Lauren. Why don’t you make it seem like I’m not capable of loving?”

  “No, Meg I think it’s great. I’m just surprised.”

  “I’m not, I heard the two of them having sex before.”

  “Gross, Grace”,” Lauren said while making a gagging sound.

  “You’re gagging? Bitch do you know how many times I’ve heard Meagan calling out while getting fu—”

  My legs dropped as I jumped down. “Okay, can we just stop now? What am I going to do y’all?”

  “About what?” Grace asked.

  I lifted my hand and waved it around like a crazy person. “This! This whole Grayson thing where he told me he loved me when he was falling asleep. How do I even know if he meant it?”

  Lauren sighed. “I’ve got this one, Grace. Let’s see, he told you earlier he was falling in love with you. He gave you an amazing day where y’all didn’t focus on sex, but instead on just being with each other, and then he told you he loved you. It doesn’t matter if he said it while he was nodding off. Meg, sweetie, Grayson is in love with you and has probably been wanting to tell you for some time now.”

  I felt my cheeks instantly blush as I smiled. “Grace?”

  “I totally agree wi
th Lauren. The fact that he spent an entire day with you, dog-ass tired, from lack of sleep I might add, and to tell you he was falling in love with you. Oh, Meg, honey I see the way the two of you look at each other. Babe, I think you met your lobster.”

  “Yes!” Lauren said with a giggle. “Your lobster!”

  “Oh my God,” I whispered. “I’m in love with him. I’m so in love with him, y’all. What if he ends up hurting me? I don’t think my heart could take it.”

  “That’s what love is, Meg. It’s a risk and a scary one at that. But if you just let go and fall, I promise you the landing is so worth it.”

  Tears built in my eyes as I fought for the words to say. Clearing my throat, I smiled as I said, “Lauren, when did you become so wise?”

  “Jesus H. Christ, Lauren. You made me cry you little bitch,” Grace said as she sniffled.

  “It’s the pregnancy hormones, Grace,” Lauren said.

  “Yeah, probably”,” Grace said as she blew her nose.

  I looked at myself in the mirror as I slowly shook my head and sat down on the toilet again. Putting my head in my hand, I moaned. “So what do I do now? What if he doesn’t remember saying it?”

  “He’ll remember”,” Grace and Lauren said at once.

  “What if he doesn’t? Do I say something? I mean what do you say in a situation like this? Oh hey, Gray, last night before you passed out on me you changed my entire world, do you remember that because I’ll never forget it for as long as I live. Do you remember telling me you loved me?”

  “Yes.”

  My head snapped up as my eyes widened in surprise. Grayson was leaning against the door frame with a sexy smile plastered across his face.

  “Holy shit! Was that Gray?” Grace shouted. “Sorry, Noah! Go back to sleep, baby!”

  “Yep,” I whispered into the phone.

  “Does he look hot?” Lauren asked. “I bet he looks hot.”

  “Oh yeah,” I said as my eyes raked over his body.

  “Girl, get you some of that now before the little bastard falls back asleep,” Grace said as Lauren giggled.

  “Gotta go girls, bye.”

  “Bye, Meg! Call us in the morning!” Lauren said as I pulled the phone from my ear and hit End.
