Enjoy this excerpt from Boy
Toy:
The covers shifted again and I could feel
the section near me, behind my back, lifting as he scooted closer. The warmth
of his body was settled very close to and almost against mine, mirroring my
shape like a puzzle piece. His voice was a low whisper in my ear, a
single-syllable question. “Spoon?”
My mind went through rapid-fire
calculations. Spoon? What would be the consequences of that? Should I do it? I
churned through the outcomes of either saying yes or no but, after a moment,
threw my pros and cons list out the window as the conclusion of, what the hell, why not? came to me. He
was cute and I could use a little spooning. It wasn’t something I got to do
often.
“Mm-hm.” I scooted backward into his
embrace.
He slid his hand around my waist, his
fingers sliding along my rib cage all the way around until he was cupping my
other side. Then he nestled his face in my hair and inhaled my scent. “You
smell nice,” he whispered.
“Thanks,” I murmured back. For some reason
I kept my voice low as if talking too loud would break the spell. It felt so
good to have all six feet of his firm body stretched along mine. Even pressed
against my back I could sense the various muscles making contact with me. The
slow rhythm of his breath just skimming my ear was nice. I let go of all the
typical female questions that rose up in my mind at the scenario and enjoyed the
moment.
There had been so many times in my life I
had imagined waking up in bed with my husband just like this, feeling a new day
awakening with me safe and cozy in my true love’s arms. It was one of those
dreams that, now, was becoming painful to replay as my singleness continued to
stretch out year after year. In a moment like this it was easy to take it out
of the closet, dust it off, and use it as a sort of atmosphere to what was
actually going on. When things like this happened it reinforced the fact that I
really did want to get married. It was just a matter of Mr. Right showing up.
No matter how my logical mind kept trying to force Grant into the shape of that
hole, my true self stood back shaking its head and saying, “It’s not going to
work. There’s too big of an issue there.”
After a few minutes of laying in silence
together with the rise and fall of our chests matching, I could feel myself
starting to slip away again into dreamland. But then Harrison shifted his hips,
scooting closer to my backside. My eyes shot open as it registered exactly what
was pressing against my ass and lower back.
Morning
wood!
