Page 25 of Guy (House of Frazier #4)

Guy sat in his office trying to figure out where he wanted to go next.

He’d been sitting in here for the last two hours, and all he could think about was that Amber wasn’t home and he was bored.

He never got bored when he was alone in the house, and he couldn’t figure out why it was suddenly bothering him now.

“Because you’ve opened up your heart and now they all want in it for some reason.

” He had opened his mind too; he didn’t snap anymore, nor did he enjoy his own company.

He was blaming that on his family. They had pushed and shoved their way into his head and heart, and now they were there all the time. “Stupid family.”

Smiling, he thought about what Belinda would have said about that statement.

She would have yelled at him and told him that the best thing in the world was family and that he should appreciate them more.

Guy had gotten in the habit of talking to himself because he wanted Belinda to hear him and shake him out of his mood.

But she was gone now, and he missed the dead woman.

No other ghosts had come around him. He could see them. Not as many as Selma did, but he could see them hanging out in places. More than likely, they didn’t understand that he could see them standing about. It was just as well; he didn’t want anything to do with them any more than they did him.

Just this morning, one showed up in his office. Ignoring them in favor of looking things up for the coming spring, he decided that if they didn’t bother with him, then he’d be all right not to be bothered by them. It was a win-win situation for him. Not so much for the ghosts, he supposed.

He had enough going on right now with deadlines for upcoming books as well as things around the house being done, so that when the spring auctions came along, he’d know just what he needed in the way of the household.

They needed bedroom suits for sure, and if he could find a couple of landscape pictures to go into the rooms, he’d be thrilled about that.

There were other things that he thought would fill out the rooms. Objects of curiosity would be nice, along with a few rugs in the right price range, as all the rooms had hardwood floors.

He and Amber discussed it, and they wanted to name the rooms by color.

Having it called the blue room or the yellow room would also make it easier to have guests put in specially named rooms rather than saying the one at the top of the stairs.

It was something that he was looking forward to a great deal.

He looked up from his now sleeping computer to see what Amber wanted when she called his name. Her smile could mean anything, but he waited for her to tell him what she needed. She came further into the room while he waited for her to speak.

“I just spoke to Ivan again. He wants to know if you want to go with him to an auction that is set up in one of the bigger buildings in Zanesville. He said it’s an open affair and that means that there might be more than one lot at the auction.

” He asked when it was. “Tomorrow morning. He said it’s one of his favorite auctioneers who is running it, and he wants us both to go with him.

I think the clinic is closed on Thursdays. ”

“It is, and what do you think about going? It won’t be like a house auction, but it could be fun.

And it will get us out of the house. I’m sort of bored with the same walls.

How about you?” She said she was game if he was.

“Good. Tell him that—I’ll tell him we’ll go.

We’ll take the truck if the weather holds.

Do you know what it’s supposed to do tomorrow? ”

“Sunny all morning and into the afternoon. Then storm clouds build up after seven for it to drop another inch or two of the wet stuff on us.” She laughed.

“I’m not normally so up on the weather channel, but I was just in the kitchen and Katy was saying how she needs to go to the grocery store tomorrow on her day off. ”

“Good. We’ll go.” He rubbed his hands together.

“You get the name of the building, and I’ll check to see if it has heat or not.

More than likely it does, but just how much heat will be the question.

I went to one once, and the heat was all right, but the floor seemed to be doubly cold, and my legs and feet ached when I walked around.

I don’t know if the concrete was just too cold or if I’d strained something the day before. But we’ll be prepared.”

By the time he got in touch with his brother, it was late in the day.

He’d gotten a little more work done, an outline for the next detective book, and was working on a title when he remembered that he needed to contact his brother.

Armed with the name of the building and the way it was going to be heated, he figured they’d be all right when the time came for them to be hanging out at the auction house.

Both he and his wolf couldn’t stand to be cold, unlike his brothers, who loved to romp in the snowy weather like big wolves did.

Going up to bed later that night, he was very happy to see that Amber was naked. She mostly wore one of his shirts to sleep in, but when she was in the mood, she was as naked as the day she was born. He got into the bed just as unclothed as she was.

“What did you have in mind tonight?” Guy wiggled his brows at her, causing her to laugh. “We could make love, and I’d love that. I’ve been chasing you around the house for days now, and it’s been fun, but I’d like to have you in the bed beneath me.”

“That’s what I need too. Comfort sex.” He didn’t know what that meant, but he’d give her anything she wanted if he could.

Pulling her into his arms as soon as the sheets between them were gone, he kissed her fully on the mouth and leaned back to look down at her.

“It’s been a long day. A longer week, it seems to me. ”

He’d forgotten that she made arrangements for her brother and sister to be cremated today.

Neither of them had a will, and so she made their arrangements as next of kin.

Their estate, what very little of it there was, would be sold off, and the money that came from the sale would be used to pay for their funeral and services that had been incurred.

Touching her as gently as he could, Guy loved the little sounds that she made when he did so.

Her flesh was so warm that he found himself wanting to kiss her everywhere he exposed with his hands.

Getting to her breasts, he took the large tip into his mouth and suckled just on her nipple.

Her hand in his hair was all the sign that he needed that she was enjoying herself.

Moving beyond her breasts, he nibbled on her ribs and around to her back when he touched her.

Rolling her to her front, he licked her down her spine to the two dimples that were on either side of her.

Lifting her up and sitting her on his lap when he rolled to his back again, he looked up at her.

“Set the pace for us, love. Ride me as you wish.” Her hips moved slowly at first, and he put his hands on her hips.

When she needed steadying, he did so with just a small squeeze to her thighs.

Reaching up, he filled his hands with her beautiful breasts and then sat up enough to take them into his mouth at the same time.

She lost her rhythm in riding him for a moment, but she got right back into it when he kissed her again. “You’re beautiful. I love you.”

“I love you as well, Guy. So much. But I need to come.” In due time, he told her and helped her out by slowing her down again and again. “Please. I need to come. Come with me so that I can enjoy you even better.”

Spreading his hands on her back, he tried to slow her down even more.

Finally, when she had had enough of his help, she rolled them to the bed where she was beneath him.

With her legs wrapped around his hips, she continued the rolling of her hips until he needed to come with her. She was a sneaky little minx.

So that he did have some control over their lovemaking, he took her hands to the head of the bed.

Holding her there with one of his hands, he explored the rest of her body by running his hands up her rib cage to her breasts to her hips.

He could tell when she was getting closer than before.

Still holding her hand above them, he fucked her a little harder when he entered her and watched her face.

She had the most expressive face when they were making love that he nearly forgot what he was doing when she ground her hips into his groin.

“You’re not terribly nice when you want something, are you?” She said he was taking too long. “I could let you come now and then me later after I’ve had my fill of you.”

“No, you have to come with me. I love it when you fill me while I’m coming. It’s like we’re two stars colliding in the sky when that happens.” He felt his cock stretch within her. “That’s it, Guy. Give me more of yourself. Give me your all so that I can see the stars. I need to see them with you.”

His own rhythm was temporarily stopped when she ground her hips into him again.

It was like she was begging for him to release, and he wanted to make it last. When she dug her nails into his shoulders, it was as if his wolf roared at him to take her.

Guy pulled her ass up to meet each of his downward strokes until she came screaming out his name.

For a few seconds, no more, he didn’t feel anything.

Nor could he hear anything. Then, as if a switch had been turned on, he came hard, fucking her through two more heady climaxes before he fell atop her in dizziness.
