CHAPTER 7
Declan
I woke up before the alarm due to a dream, surprised to feel a body against mine. I was with it enough to know it wasn’t Laura even if the dream was about her death, and I looked down at the blonde woman in my bed. Madeline looked peaceful, and I stroked her hair as I looked at the clock. I could sleep for another few hours, and I kissed her hair as my cock responded painfully. She was a virgin, which was unusual at twenty-four. It wasn’t awful, but I hated the reasons for that choice. Had she ever had an orgasm? I longed to slip my hand between her legs and find that sweet spot, but I resisted and closed my eyes instead.
We both woke up to the alarm as she groaned and rolled onto her back to stretch, arching it as her full breasts pressed against the thin material of my shirt. “I don’t want to get up. I’m so comfortable.”
“We have a little time.” I lived close to the hospital, so all I needed was a shower. I reached down to cup my cock as it hardened again under the blanket, watching her carefully. Madeline looked at me with a sleepy smile, and I moved towards her to kiss her slowly. I loved the feel of her sweet, full lips against my mouth as we kissed and groaned as her body pressed against mine. She was curvy in all the perfect places, and I wondered what her nipple would feel like in my mouth as her tongue danced against mine. I kept it up until I needed air and pushed the blankets back. I needed to piss and maybe work in a quick jerk, so I wouldn’t attack her.
I got my business done quickly and walked back into the bedroom to see her on her side, looking out of the window. Fuck, she was gorgeous, and my heart did a little dance inside of my chest. “Do you want something to eat before work?”
“Something light would be nice. I don’t like to go in too full with all of the running around.” She frowned as she looked at me with an adorable pout on her lips. “Why does this feel natural to me?”
“I don’t know, but I feel the same way,” I assured her as she scooted out of bed and walked to the bathroom where I’d just pictured her naked as I came into a tissue. That was a nice fantasy to imagine and one that I’d use again. Madeline came back out in her dress, and we made our way downstairs where we fixed sandwiches. We were both waking up, and I walked her to the door to see her off before I took a shower and jerked off again. I kissed her softly, sensing that she needed soft more than hard at first and watched her walk to her car.
I knew that this woman was going to end up meaning something to me.
I showered and put on black pants and a white button up shirt, always looking professional when I was on the job. I had scrubs to cover the clothes of need be, and it seemed like I’d come off so much better to a patient and their family. That was something Dad taught me, and I smiled as I headed downstairs for my keys. I wondered what they would think of Madeline. My parents both loved Laura and were near as devastated as I was when she died. That being said, they did want me to try again if the time was right and it seemed like it was. I locked up the house and set the alarm as I ran out to the garage to leave. I had a couple late surgeries to handle tonight, but the rest of the shift would be checking up on patients and getting paperwork done. I wanted to have dinner with Madeline, but I knew how hard it could be to find the time in the busy building. That and the fact that anyone that saw us would start talking immediately. It was better to keep it behind closed doors for now. I made my way through the night following my schedule as I normally do, though I was called to the ER shortly after my first surgery.
I walked to the desk, seeing Kelly at her usual post. “Doctor J. How’s your night going?” She asked as warmth washed over her face.
“Busy as always. I hear you have someone I should see down here.” I scanned the area for Madeline rapidly, disappointed that she wasn’t there.
“We do. Follow me.” Kelly looked at me. “How are you doing?” I knew she was referring to the last six months and I considered that for a moment.
“I’ve been doing okay, Kelly. Thanks for asking.” I followed her into one of the rooms to see a young man in the bed, passed out as the ER doctor looked at a chart. “Doctor Pearson. What do we have here?” I looked around at the staff to see Madeline standing off to the side, avoiding eye contact with me.
Smart move, even if it did hurt.
“Appendicitis,” Mark replied as he nodded at me. “He needs to have surgery quick. He let it go a little long at home before calling an ambulance.”
“Ah,” I replied as he handed me the chart. I read it and looked at the patient, looking pained even in his state. He wasn’t a minor, so he didn’t need any consent, and everything looked like it should. “I am going to head up and get set up. Bring him to seven in a few?” Mark nodded, and I glanced at Madeline to see her looking at me calmly with bright eyes. She was beautiful.
“We’ll do it,” Mark told me as I turned to go upstairs and get a room set up. We had some for situations such as these, and this was a common emergency surgery. It hit people fast, but I had a high success rate with fixing the poor patients. I found the seven was empty and got a few people to help me, something that the new kids were always looking to do. With a couple of them looking on and training and some great nurses, I’d have this done in no time. I wished that I could bring Madeline in, but she wasn’t in my section and fuck if she wouldn’t distract me. Nobody had that power ever before, and I wasn’t sure what to do about it.
I could stop seeing her and just move on, but I didn’t think it was possible. I knew that it wasn’t.
I had the patient in front of me, and everything was ready to go. I glanced up to the observation window to see Kelly sitting beside Madeline as she indicated what was happening with her hand. That was nice. It was evident that Madeline cared for the patients and I knew that I was going to save this man for her. I looked around the room and asked the new doctors to step forward and watch since this was a basic procedure. Next time, I’d have someone step in, but I wanted to be in control with this guy.
Just under an hour later, I was finished, and everything looked great. I smiled at everyone and thanked them before taking another look up at the observation room. Madeline was gone, and I felt empty inside for a long moment before I went to clean up.
I finished my other surgery and realized the night was over, clocking out as I stretched. I wanted Madeline in my bed again to sleep with me, since I had the following day off. I didn’t know if she did, but it would be perfect, making me start thinking as I walked to my car. I was inside with the doors locked when I sent her a text asking if she was awake, smiling as I waited for a response. My phone chimed, and I read that she was at home in bed, followed by a text with an address. I told her that I’d bring breakfast and started the car.
I grabbed some pastries from a local bakery along with two cups of coffee, heading to her house a few miles away from mine. It was a small cottage, but cute with a big front yard and some lovely flowers. I parked in the driveway and took a slow look around, not seeing any neighbors outside. I made my way to the door and knocked, watching as Madeline opened it and let me in with a yawn. She was wearing a pink robe, and her hair was pulled back as she blinked at me. “Are you okay?” I asked her as I closed and locked the door behind me, looking around the charming living room.
“Yeah. I’m glad that you came over. Earlier tonight wasn’t enough of you.” Madeline stood on her tiptoes to kiss me, and I returned it, tasting the mint on her lips. She brushed her teeth for me? “Hi.”
“Hey,” I smiled at her, seeing the sleep still in her eyes. “I got some stuff, but we can eat later.”
“Bring it back. We can nibble and then sleep, and that coffee smells great.” Her smile widened as she turned and led the way down a small hallway to a surprisingly big room. It had a king-sized bed and dresser with a cute closet, and even room to spare. “I don’t have a shirt to offer you, though. I guess it would be better if I just came to your place.”
“This is fine. It’s very you, Madeline. I can just wear my briefs if you don’t mind.” I knew that my goddamn cock would he hard the entire time, but she had to know what she did to me. I watched her swallow thickly before nodding, her cheeks a bright red. “Nothing will happen that you don’t ask for. I can restrain myself.”
“I know,” she said softly as she went to hang the robe on the closet door. Her shirt was red and hung down to her thighs, revealing some black cotton underwear. Very sexy. I stripped and folded my clothes on her dresser as I finished with each piece, feeling her eyes on me. The need was thick in the air, and I licked my lips before I turned to look at her. Desire was all over her face, and her eyes were darker than usual as I stalked towards her bed. The bag and coffees were on a table beside the bed, and she scooted over to make room for me as I slipped under the cream sheet. “Don’t spill,” Madeline whispered before she kissed me again, her lips rough against mine.
She pushed me to my back and straddled me, her hot core pressed against my cock. Holy hell. I was ready to go, and our tongues danced together as I slipped my hands down over her hips and held her close to me.
It was just hands on a body and a kiss, but I felt like I was going to come apart. Madeline moaned as she rocked weakly against me and I imagined her falling apart on top of me at this moment. God, the idea of making Madeline come so easily made my heart jump and I rocked with her slow and hard. “Let it go, Madeline.” I watched her face as her eyes dropped closed and her mouth formed an O. There was no kissing right now, just movements of hips and the friction that was going to make me explode if we went too much longer.
“God, Declan. You’re not really doing…anything. It feels so good.” Her body rocked hard against me as I met her with my body. She let out a long cry before her body shuddered and she was releasing on top of my clothed body. I watched her and felt my own body stiffen before I let it go in my underwear, feeling her eyes on me. “Did you…”
“I did,” I replied gruffly as she stared at me.
“Just from that?” Madeline questioned as I chuckled.
“You on top of me is hot as hell. It has also been a while since I’ve been with anyone…a long while. Seeing you come so hard made it impossible not to.” She blushed and shook her head before sliding beside me in bed. “Did that feel good?”
“Yes. It felt incredible,” she told me as I reached for a cup of coffee. I handed it to her, and she sipped it carefully, her eyes locked with mine.
