Snippet Saturday – Talk Talk

 

“There’s no turning back now, Doc.” His fingers toyed with the ends of her hair.

She swallowed over the lump in her throat. “I know.”

He smiled. “That easy?”

“It’s amazing what a little fright can do for the senses.” She tried to return his smile but it somehow slipped from her lips before it could form.

“Come here.” Steve released her seatbelt and pulled her into his lap, pinning her between his body and the wheel. “You’re safe here, Doc.”

Gordie figured he meant in his house, but for her, safety was his arms, the security of his embrace and the strength he offered her willingly. She moved closer, nuzzled her face against the warmth of his neck and drew in his scent. It amazed her how just that small action could soothe her nerves and rile them at the same time.

“Gordie.” Warm air ruffled her hair before she felt his lips press to her temple. “Come on, let’s get inside or everyone will arrive and find us fucking in my truck.”

She gasped. His use of strong language didn’t bother her, it was the images the words provoked that made her breathless.

“Yeah, I’m that close.” He chuckled as he opened the door and maneuvered them out of the cab.

“I can walk.”

“I know, but I want to carry you and you’re going to let me.” His arms tightened around her.

“Okay.”

Steve laughed. “All this easy agreement is starting to worry me, Doc.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back to my disagreeable self soon enough and then you’ll wish you hadn’t started this.”

“Never.”

“You say that now…”

He swung her legs down until her toes barely touched the ground and pressed her against the side of his truck. “I’ll say it forever.”
