Chapter 14: Chapter 14

"Gray! Have you seen my tennis shoes? I'll be late for my first class. Gray! Please help me find them." I flung stuff out of the closet like my life depended on it when an arm snaked around my waist and hauled me back, lifting my feet off the ground. Gray's outstretched hand held the missing shoes for me, and then his lips were on my neck.

"Calm down, sweetheart. You have plenty of time to get to class."

I loved the sound of his deep baritone voice. It was smooth and rich, comforting, and warmed me to the core. He gave me a little squeeze before I threw on my shoes. I grabbed my book bag and gave him a chaste kiss before running to class.
