Mason nodded understanding immediately that she had to go. His mother stepped forward and grasped Lena’s hand.
“We understand dear. You have a very important job. It’s important to be around those who need us in times like these.”
Mason felt Lena stiffen a little and he pulled her toward the door, “I’ll walk you out.”
When they reached the back door she looked over her shoulder and smiled at his family. “Thanks again. Dinner was amazing.”
“Anytime honey, you’re welcome in this house anytime.” his mother answered with her warm smile. When they finally reached her car they stopped and she turned slowly.
“Are you going to be okay?” he asked tilting her chin up so their eyes met.
“Probably not. This is when it gets hard. When the child really has no other option then to fight hard or to let go gracefully. The parents are going to have a rough decision to make.”
“And you’re going to have a rough night.” he paused then reached down into his pocket. He’d wanted to give her this the day after their first night together, but he hadn’t thought she was ready, he was hoping she was now.
“Will you come home to me when you’re finished at the hospital?”
He took her hand and placed a key in it. She looked down at her hand then back up to him nodding.
“If I’m asleep just let yourself in. Okay?”
Closing her hand around the brass key he heard her whisper, “Okay.”
He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, “I’ll see you later. Be safe.”
She climbed into her car looked at him where he was standing on the curb, then without another glance she turned the ignition on and drove away.
Chapter Twenty One
The night had been horrible. Lena had arrived at 11pm and had gone straight down to the Pediatric ICU. Robbie Tipton had been brought in with a severe pneumonia and it didn’t look good. When she walked in the unit Becky Tipton had turned to her with red glassy eyes and just burst into tears. Her husband Chad had an arm wrapped around her shoulders and looked as though he’d gone ten rounds in a boxing ring. Lena had known there was nothing she could say. After all what can you say to the parents of a child who was lying motionless on a hospital bed with a breathing tube down his throat? Not a whole lot. So she just went to their sides and held their hands while Becky told her what Dr. Monroe, Shelly, had explained to them.
Lena had finally left the room, emotionally exhausted, around 1am. She was sitting in her office staring out at the night sky clutching the key Mason had given her earlier. What did it mean? Was it just a heat of the moment decision on his behalf because he thought she’d need the company tonight? After all, she had told him that when he slept next to her the nightmares seemed to leave her alone. Or was this more serious? Did he expect her to use this key whenever she wanted, or was it only to be used this one night? Or worse on the nights he wanted sex? She gripped it in her hand and tried to push aside all the thoughts that were nagging her. Her emotions were running high and she didn’t know if it was wise to even go by his house. Between the talk she’d this evening with Catherine and then having to deal with the Tipton’s she felt like she was walking on an emotional tightrope and didn’t know how or when she was going to fall. Pulling her bag up and over her shoulder she took the elevator down to her car, walked over and got in it then drove where her heart was telling her, straight to Mason’s.
He didn’t know what to expect. Quietly honestly he wasn’t even sure if she was going to turn up. He’d given her the key to keep and use whenever she wanted. He liked having her in his house, and loved having her in his bed. In fact he couldn’t remember being happier than the mornings he got to wake up with her lying beside him, but right now as he sat in his living room in the dark, watching the clock and waiting for her, he felt nervous. Nervous she wouldn’t show up, nervous she would and he wouldn’t know what to do to help her and nervous that she wouldn’t let him. Just as the clock turned to 1.27am he heard a key push into the lock and turn slowly. The door was pushed opened lightly and he watched her softly tiptoe into the room. She hadn’t seen him sitting on the couch since it was completely dark, and he wondered if she would turn a light on. He’d seen her lit up for just a moment from the light in the hall and she was still wearing what she’d been dressed in earlier this evening. A cream buttoned down blouse and his favorite black pencil skirt. He watched her silhouette gently put down her bag and then his eyes tracked her as she made her way toward the large window in the dark.
Not turning on any lights she stopped when she got there and put her hands on her hips rolling her head back and forward, like she was stretching out the kinks. Finally he stood quietly, having changed into long pajama pants and socks, and padded softly over to her. Not until the last minute when he was right behind her did she tense and turn to face him. With the lights off he knew she couldn’t see much, but he had the added benefit of the glowing lights from the city outside, beyond that they were surrounded by the night sky and darkness.
“Mason. I didn’t mean to wake you.”
Reaching out he placed a finger over her lips. “Shh. You didn’t. I was waiting up for you.”
He felt her head shake, “You shouldn’t have done that. You should go to bed.”
Stroking a finger down her cheek he noticed how tense her jaw was and rubbed at the tight spot just in front of her ear. “I wanted to. Rough night?”
Nodding she replied softly, “One of the roughest.”
He stepped in close to her crowding her back up against the cool window. He watched her head tilt up toward him and he knew her eyes were on his face. “What can I do?”
He heard her take a deep breath then let it out. She remained rigid in front of him so he asked her again. “Tell me Lena, what can I do to help you?” Pausing he lifted a hand and brushed a curl back behind her ear. “What do you need?”
He felt her throat, where his fingers rested, as she swallowed deeply then asked in a low voice. “Take me?”
Mason’s hand froze against her neck. That was the last thing he’d expected. He had thought maybe hold me, kiss me or talk to me, but what she’d just said had knocked the wind right out of him. He felt her hands come up and rest low on his hard stomach right above the drawstring of his pants.
“I don’t understand what you want Lena.” he paused licking his lips. He didn’t want to screw this up and misunderstand what she was telling him, but when she trailed a hand down over his hard cock and gripped him in a tight squeeze he knew there was no mistaking.
“I want you to take me. Hard.” she panted the last word up at him and he wished the lights had been on because at that moment he would’ve given anything to see her eyes dilate along with the passion he heard in her voice.
“Lena are you sure? You’ve had a rough night and,” he trailed off as she pulled on him with her hand and leaned in to kiss his chest.
“I want to forget tonight Mason. Make me forget.”
When she let go of him he groaned at the loss but was thrilled to see her jerking her blouse from her skirt. As she started to unbutton the blouse from the bottom up Mason blinked once then got his brain in gear. He reached out when she was half way up the buttons and brushed her hands away. He held them down at her sides then leaned in so she could now focus on his face even in the darkness. He watched her eyes widen when he licked his lips.
“Are you positive this is what you want?”
Mirroring his move she moistened her own lips and nodded. With that final decision from her, Mason stood up released her hands and ordered in a voice he didn’t even recognize.
“Turn around and put your palms on the window.”
Lena sucked in a breath at the command she heard in his voice. She hadn’t known what she wanted when she’d shown up here. However, as she pivoted toward the window and looked out at the night sky and the dark city park below, she had a feeling she was about to get it. Mason had seemed reluctant at first, almost as though he was worried if he touched her she’d break, but now that she’d given permission he seemed to have let go of whatever he’d been holding back.
Reaching out in front of her she laid her palms flat on the glass window. It was cool to touch but she knew that wouldn’t last long. She could see the silhouetted reflection of Mason moving in behind her and she sighed as she trailed her eyes down his naked chest. It was almost a shame the lights weren’t on, but then again if the lights were on everyone outside would’ve been about to get a very interesting show. Breathing deeply she waited, silently wondering where this was going to go, or should she say, how far. When she felt his hands come around her waist to where she’d unbuttoned her shirt, she sighed as he ran his palms up her naked skin to her bra. He cupped her in his hands and pushed them up as he ground his hips up hard against her ass. She could feel his breath on her neck when he whispered, “I’m going to fuck you right here Lena.”
Between here legs clenched hard and she swallowed deeply looking out the window to the street below. It was true there was no one down on the sidewalk but looking out across the top of the park to the buildings on the other side who knew, she thought to herself, who knew if someone was watching? As he dragged one big hand down the front of her body and pressed a flat palm over her throbbing mound she thought at this moment, she didn’t even care. Rubbing against her with his hand and squeezing her breast with the other he pushed his hard cock up against her ass and asked in that deep voice that seemed to be designed to drive her crazy.
“Is that what you want Lena? You want me to lift your skirt up? Bend you over and shove my cock in you so deep you forget everything else?”
Moaning at the erotic picture he was painting she tilted her head back and felt his hard chest behind her. He kissed the side of her head then took both hands away and placed them on her hips. He pulled her back so she was tilted a little forward now. She felt him kick a foot lightly between her heeled ones and she started to take her hands from the window.
“Ah ah Lena. Hands stay there, the whole time. What are you trying to do?”
Looking over her shoulder at him it was hard to make out his features but it looked as though his mouth was pulled in a grim line and his hands were balled by his sides.
“I was going to take my shoes off.”
Reaching out he placed his hands on her hips and leaned down brushing her back with his chest and rubbing his erection against the thin skirt covering her ass.
“No. I like them on. You’re the perfect height in those shoes.” he thrust against her and she bit back a moan. “See? When there’s nothing between us I’m going to slide right in deep. Now keep your hands right there and widen your feet a little Lena.”
She complied quickly feeling her panties dampen as they pressed up against the hot slick folds that were quickly becoming swollen and achy. She tried helplessly to focus on him in the reflection of the window but she couldn’t make him out. He was just a shadow behind her. A huge sexy shadow who was about to take her.
Mason took a deep breath and told himself to calm the hell down. This was what she wanted, it was what he, realized, she needed. She was wound up so tight she seemed to need a release and this was the perfect way. Right now as she was tilted forward her hands supported her and her legs were spread just enough to keep her stable. She looked sexy as hell and he couldn’t believe she was about to let him fuck her in front of the window, but as he looked out into the dark night he was almost positive they’d be ok and right now they were both beyond caring. He reached down around her and took the loose ends of the blouse in his hands and ripped the remaining buttons apart. She gasped but kept her hands on the window. He felt her breathing kick up as he let the material flutter down and hang off her arms. Her breasts heaved in the bra and he wanted them free. He wanted to pinch them and squeeze them so he reached around and pulled the cups down over her breasts. The way the bra was still secured plumped the creamy white mounds out at an obscene level, almost as though they were being offered for the whole world to see, and in a sense they were. He felt her breathing stop for a moment then she wiggled her hips and he knew she was becoming extremely aroused. Leaning down over her he licked the back of her ear and felt a shudder run through her. He could see her breasts reflecting in the mirror as they swayed with each breath she took. Her eyes were glued to the reflection he was giving off above her head and he could tell she was trying to anticipate his next move.
