Sitting her on the little shower bench she had in here, I chuckled as she almost fell sideways. I held her up and grabbed a loofah. Lathering it with the same vanilla scented body wash, I soaped her up, smoothing the loofah over each breast and down to her thighs. I spread them with one hand and gently swiped the loofah up and down along her silky folds then rinsed her off with the shower spray.
She sat a bit slumped as she seemed too dazed to stand up. “I asked for this,” she admitted. “I wanted you and damn…did I get you.”
Shaking my head, I grinned down at her, “I’m glad to see you learned your lesson.” I laughed.
“Oh, shut up,” she said while still sounding a bit breathless. “It’s like watch out what you ask for.”
I kept chuckling as I finally shampooed my own hair. Turning to look at her, I said, “Ok, woman. Time to get going.”
She could barely nod at me.
I turned the water off. Grabbing her up, I swung her around and made my way out of the bathroom as I carried her. I now knew how to calm the fiery Glory down when she needed it.
Chapter Fourteen:It’s In The Name
Glory
After he dried me off, I was so weak and limp that Legend had to practically dress me. I have to admit it was sort of fun and kind of sexy too. I’d never had a man dress me before. I suppose we would be sharing many firsts now…together. I shook like a leaf though when he slowly and sensually slipped my panties up along my bare thighs then snapped the waistband. The bra part had been fun too. He kept teasing me by sliding the lace cups back and forth over my sensitized nipples until I told him if he did it one more time, we would not be going to breakfast. No. He would be too busy attending to my body all over again.
Laughing, he finally stopped playing with me. I have to admit when he finally started to behave, I already wanted him. Like to have him…all over again! What the hell kind of craziness was that?
I asked him several times while he was looking for my clothing and then dressing me if we could just go back to sleep. The bed just looked so inviting. All I wanted was to be wrapped up in his warm arms and snooze. Like spend the whole day there. He thought I was joking. I wasn’t. The man had made such thorough love to me that I was simply exhausted.
Then after the night we had, the morning shower, then all the fun of dressing – I had wondered – was this what it was like to be in love? Or at least for us, it was. Ok, sign me up for some more. Well, after I get some rest, then sign me up. I snickered.
Legend walked me out the door and asked, “Something funny?”
I shrugged. I wasn't gonna tell him what I was really thinking. How I wanted him todo meall over again. “I’m nothing but walking jelly and I have to wonder why you’re just full of energy.”
“I’m a doctor, Glory.”
I shook my head as he took my hand in his. “What does that have to do with it?”
Walking me down the hall, he answered, “We learn to go for long periods of time without sleep. You know 24 or even 28 hour shifts. I used to work for two days straight sometimes. Besides, we just got a good night’s sleep.”
I shook my head. “So says you. Another reason they call you Legend, I suppose.”
He chuckled as we showed up in the main room and he told me, “I called myself that, sweetness. It translates to my real Italian name and it wasn’t about greatness.”
“So? You were spot on with it,” I retorted with a laugh.
We paused when we saw his two giant cousins over at a table having coffee.
They looked calm and watchful as they held mugs in their beefy hands. Both of them smiled hugely at Legend as they raised their coffee mugs up at him.
I smiled at them then gazed around. It looked like breakfast was almost over. Turning to Legend, I said, “I’ll get us a plateful and we can sit with the big guys. Go ahead and join them, k?” I headed to the buffet our club had set up while Legend went over to join his cousins.
I wouldn’t have a problem knowing what Legend would eat. I knew what he liked for breakfast. Well, I knew all the foods he liked for lunch and dinner too. His favorite drink, his favorite beer. His favorite dessert. What he liked as snacks...all of it. As I made our, ‘to be shared’plate, I had enough self respect tofeel a little shame about this fact. Stalker much? I asked myself honestly. Yes, I had stalkereda lot. As a psychologist, I know now what it all meant and how serious my crush became. Not that I would have gone ballistic or something…I paused.
Well, he never brought a woman here, so I would never know if I would have become dangerous. I admit if he had brought dates here…well, I woulda been tossed in juvie for assault at the very least. I smirked to myself. No, he was mine…always been mine. That had been my mantra for years. When you start something at the acute and painful age of fifteen? Yeah, fifteen. It had been a little difficult to break the habit at that age. One that I would have never admitted it to being…a habit.
I never matured about wanting Legend till I turned twenty but all I did was re-categorize it as being in love. I tried to set it aside and I even went off to college, away from him to get my degree. Then during that time, I worked it out in my mind as being just a childhood crush. Until I came home on breaks…then it would rise back up in me as soon as I saw him again. But as incredibly insane as it was… it never faded away. I never grew out of it. My degree never even helped me to logic my way out of it.
Honestly, I had to ask…Was I really sorry about all the snooping, the stalking, the pining away for one lone man? I paused to place a few pieces of bacon on top of the scrambled eggs on our plate and then scoffed. “Nah, not sorry.”
“Talking to yourself, sis?”
Looking up, I saw Justice standing there, smiling at me.
