Chapter 14
Sara smoothed the front of her dress trying desperately to calm the hundreds of butterflies that fluttered nervously in her stomach. She and Warrick were about to drastically change their relationship forever. There was no turning back. The reasonable part of her screamed that this was a huge mistake but the rest of her disagreed. She wanted him. Her body ached to be touched by him, to feel him completely surrounding her. She wanted to lose herself to him for just a little while. She wanted to feel like a woman, a woman very much desired by a gorgeous man. She had no doubt in her mind that he was going to ravish her thoroughly and completely. A shiver of anticipation ran through her body.
Sara was ready to surrender herself to him. She had never given herself fully to a man before. She would always hold a part of herself back, never allowing herself to fall over the edge. She knew it was going to be different with Warrick. She couldn't hide from him even if she tried. He knew her too well, five years of working together and building a friendship had seen to that. He could read her expressions so easily, it surprised her.
She ran her hands up and down her bare arms. She glanced at the mirror in her hallway and frowned. She was in a dress and a sexy, red one to boot. She questioned herself for dressing up. She knew it was too much. They were only having dinner at his house. But her lust induced mind had won the battle over her sensible side. Just the thought of Warrick taking the dress slowly off her body made her tremble with desire. She watched her face flush in the mirror and had to turn away from her wanton expression. God she was ridiculous. The sound of the doorbell buzzing sent those hundreds of butterflies into motion again. She felt the corners of her mouth slide into an anxious grin. He was here.
Warrick stood outside her door and shifted nervously from foot to foot. In his hand he clutched a bouquet of wild flowers. He slowly counted to ten and then pressed the buzzer. The door opened almost immediately and as his eyes zeroed in on the woman standing in the doorway he felt his breath catch in his throat. She looked sexy as hell. Her hair was pulled up again in some sort of twist, leaving the long slender column of her throat exposed. She wore a red spaghetti strapped dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dresses ended right above her knees and below that were her lithe, bare legs. On her feet was a pair of red spiky heeled shoes. The only thought running through his head as his eyes traveled slowly back up her body was that he couldn't wait to have her standing in front of him with only those shoes on.
His desire must have been clearly written across his face because Sara's cheeks blushed with color at his obvious scrutiny of her delightful body. "These are for you,' he said huskily. The sexy low tone of his voice sent a wave of pleasure shooting through her body. She was already flushed from his ardent study of her body in the dress. "Thank you. They're beautiful." she whispered hotly as she reached out for the flowers. Their finger touched and a hot spark of electricity raced through both of their bodies.
Sara turned quickly and headed toward the kitchen with the flowers, hoping to get her over stimulated body back under control. He followed leisurely watching the enticing sway of her lovely rear end held snuggly in the red dress. He watched her with an easy smile upon his face, as she filled a vase with water and then slowly arranged the flowers.
Suddenly Sara felt his hot breath on the nape of her neck and the smoldering heat of his body as he stepped in close to hers. His hands settled possessively on her waist and she had to restrain herself from sighing at the wonderful feeling it invoked in her.
"You look gorgeous," he whispered tenderly in her ear. He placed a gentle kiss on the curve of her neck and this time she couldn't refrain herself from sighing. She turned slowly in his arms, their eyes locking hotly. She brought her hands up to his shoulders and unhurriedly slid them down his silky shirt feeling his powerful muscles ripple underneath her fingertips. She stopped at the waistband of his pants before her hands traveled back up the center of his chest. They stopped where he had finished buttoning up his shirt. In typical Warrick style, the upper part of his chest lay open. She parted the soft material of shirt even further, revealing more of his glorious chest. She leaned forward and placed a moist kiss on his skin. She felt his body shudder slightly and her eyes shot to his, sparks of desire danced dangerously through his eyes.
"You are incredibly handsome," she whispered back. His mouth curved into a gentle smile before his lips claimed hers in a sweet kiss. He pulled away before she wanted him too. She was far from being satisfied. Her hands instinctively found there way to the back of his head as she tried to pull him down for another kiss.
Warrick chuckled at her impatience and said, "Sara once we start you know we're not going to be able to stop. I want to take you home with me." She pulled away from him with a pout clearly etched on her pretty face. "Warrick," she said with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
He reached up and tenderly cupped her cheeks with both hands, his fingers slowly stroking the column of her throat. Sara's eyes fluttered shut at the sensation. "Sara," he said a bit too huskily. Her eyes slid open to meet his gorgeous blue/ green ones. His face was inches away from hers. Her tongue darted out to moisten her lips and that was all it took for him to capture her lips in a passion filled kiss.
Before long, the need for air became too great and they pulled apart breathing heavily. Sara felt herself swoon from the power of the kiss; Warrick's hands immediately grasped her around her waist. "Baby are you all right?' he asked anxiously.
She steadied herself as best as she could in his strong embrace. She looked up at him sheepishly and said, "That was one hell of a kiss." His eyes widened at the meaning of her words and he let out a deep chuckle. "You can say that again." he grinned.
"Next time you plan on kissing me like that, make sure there's a bed underneath me because I literally became weak in the knees. You have an incredible mouth Mr. Brown. I can only imagine what it's going to do to the rest of my body."
His eyes danced provocatively as he said hotly, "The same things as that sexy mouth of yours, I hope." Her face flamed red and she had to look away. "Hey," he said gently cupping the side of her face. "What's wrong?' he asked. She met his concerned eyes and tears began to fill hers. "I'm sorry," she whispered softly. "Please tell me?" he answered. "I'm …" she hesitated, shaking her head. She swallowed her fears and said, "I'm scared."
His eyes widened at her words. "Of me?" he asked tentatively. "Oh god no Warrick. I know you'd never intentionally hurt me. It's…" she struggled for words. "This need, this want is so powerful. It's over whelming to me. God you made me swoon Warrick. What if I'm not what you expected, I'm not very experienced…I…" He placed his finger over her lips to stop her words.
"Sara I feel the power of the connection between us too. You could never disappoint me. I feel thankful that you even want to be with me, that you are willing to give yourself to me. I'm scared too. This is a huge step for us. It's going to change both of our lives but for the better. I want you and I want this relationship to work. I have no doubt in my mind especially after that kiss that when we finally come together it's going to be absolutely phenomenal." he said with a reassuring smile.
"How do you always know what to say?" she said softly as she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly. He held her just as tightly and the minutes ticked by while they enjoyed the sensation of being in each others arms. He pulled away first and took her hand. "Let's go,' he said. As they neared the door, she grabbed a small overnight bag from the hallway table. He eyed the bag for a moment. "Just my toothbrush, deodorant and a change of clothes. No flannel pajamas I promise,' she said with a smirk.
Warrick laughed as he opened the door for her. "I don't mind flannel PJ's," he said with a sly grin, "As long as I get to take them off." She gently swatted his shoulder as he closed the door behind them. "You're incorrigible Warrick Brown,' she said with a grin. "Only around you Sara," he said sincerely. She smiled at him and took his hand. "Then take me home and have your way with me then," she laughed. "You read my mind," he said before placing a quick kiss on her lips.
The ride to his house was filled with comfortable silence. They held hands and his thumb slowly caressed her knuckles. They exchanged heated glances every now and again. Sara's heart sped up when they pulled into his driveway. She sucked in a deep breath of air, slowly exhaling it. She tried to calm her racing pulse as she turned to look at him. He was watching her with lust filled eyes and a pure unadulterated sexy smile graced his lips. God he was gorgeous and he was all hers for the next 48 hours. She sighed with contentment and let the excitement spread through her body. She gave him one of her too few truly happy Sara Sidle smiles. At this very moment, life was extremely good.
