Catch Me (The Winters Family Series: Book 1) (8 page)

Isabel was on the verge of tears.  Who was this man?  How did she get so lucky to meet him? Then all the sudden she felt excited.  She jumped a little and lifted her head.  "I am so excited for you to meet my parents this weekend!"

Drew just laughed and held her tightly.

"To answer your question, yes I am happy here.  I miss my family desperately, but we talk all the time.  I think it was good to move away, find myself, meet new people..." laughing she put her hands on his ass, "to meet a delicious man with a very fine ass!"

They both started laughing, then what was light kisses turned into passionate kisses.

CHAPTER 7

The next morning they woke tangled together.  The sun was shining through the window directly on them.

Isabel had woke up first, "hmmmm... oh my word, that sun is blinding."

Drew looked at the window, "Yeah, I never get used to that. It's a serious wake up call."

Isabel laughed and quickly snuggled into Drew to shade her eyes.  Drew wrapped his arms around her, "How about a walk before I have to head out?"

Isabel lifted her head, "Coffee, then a walk?"

They were walking hand and hand on the beach.  The water was lapping up around their feet. The ocean was calm this morning, the water cool.  The seagulls were busy all around finding their morning meal.  The air was warm, but it was a perfect Summer morning in the South.

Isabel brought Drew's hand up to her lips for a soft kiss, "I had a wonderful weekend."

Drew looked at Isabel and smiled, "Me too, Sweet Izzy."

Once they were back at the cottages, Isabel squeezed his hand and headed into her cottage.

Isabel no more than walked into the cottage, closed her door and was immediately taking her clothes off.  She went and sat in her big comfy chair by the living room window.  Her legs were curled under her, while she looked at a couple things on the computer.  She must have missed Drew's knock at the door, because the next thing she heard was a sharp intake of breath.  She looked up and just laughed, "I swear I was planning to take a shower, but got distracted."

Drew had went into his cottage to take a quick shower before work.  He wanted to say one more goodbye before he headed to the station.  When he knocked on her door, he was surprised when Isabel did not answer.  So he figured she would be okay with just letting himself in.  He took two steps in and about tripped over his own two feet.  He found Isabel sitting on her chair in the living room, naked.  She was looking at something on her computer.  The sight before him instantly made him go hard.

Laughing, Drew walked over and knelt down in front of her, "Seriously, Izzy you can't do this to me.  You should put a sign on your door or something."

Isabel was laughing so hard now, she had tears rolling down her face.  "I would think by now you would be used to my love for being nude."

Drew put his head on her knee, "Well of course, but you take my breath away every time I see you this way.  You are so beautiful."

Isabel was speechless.  Sure her family was always kind to her, and telling her how beautiful she was, but Drew was the first man to ever share such kind words towards her.

She brushed his hair away from his eyes, and traced her fingers down the side of his face.  With a slight smile that made it all the way to her eyes, she whispered "Thank you."

It was hard to leave Isabel, but he knew he had to get to work.  They agreed to talk every night before Isabel went to bed.  Drew had a feeling this week would go by very slowly.  He was scheduled to work the next four days,  which meant he was obligated to also sleep at the firehouse.

When he left Izzy she was still sitting in her comfy chair.  Her long dark hair was flowing around her, and slightly covering her breasts.  Her legs were tucked under her, and just a small patch of hair was peeking out between her legs.  Her skin was lush, and gorgeous.  There were red patches on her legs where his stubble had scratched her skin.  He was not going to get that visual out of his head for a few days.

He felt amazing today.  There was something about Isabel, the way she saw life, how she lived for every moment.  Oh, man, he really was in deep.

He had a smile on his face, and a glazed look in his eyes when he walked into the station. Danny and a few of the other guys looked up and in unison started teasing him. Drew just shook his head and smiled.  "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.  Just remember I play dirty and will return the love, someday."

Danny got up from his chair, grabbed Drew's shoulder, "Come on, man, if only you could have seen your face.  Did anybody get a picture?"

Drew just pushed his hand away, "If there are any pictures, I will destroy them all."

One of the other firefighters sitting on the couch chimed in, "Wow, aren't we testy this morning? What, has it been more than six hours?"  The room erupted in laughter, even Drew had to laugh at that.

Danny was still laughing, but put his hands up, "All right guys we need to start thinking about work and not Drew's sex life."

When Drew left, Isabel was still sitting in her chair.  She was seriously going to have to take up a hobby, and fast.  With Drew away for the next four days, her mornings would be way too quiet.

The look on his face when he saw her sitting in the chair was priceless.  She continued to look around on the internet when her phone rang.

Shawna sounded breathless, "Hey, Sweetie, sorry to bother you so early.  They asked if we could come in early today, we're short-handed and of course there's breaking news. Can we count on you?"

"Of course, I just need to throw myself together. I'll be there in about 20 minutes.  Do you want me to just go to the location?  We can go over everything there?"

Shawna sounded relieved, "That sounds perfect.  I will email you the address right now."

By Thursday, Isabel was exhausted.  Everyday this week she had to go in to work early either due to late breaking news, or on Wednesday they had severe weather and tornado warnings. Finally, she was able to sleep in and relax a little before work.

She was getting a cup of coffee when her phone rang.  She looked at her caller ID. Mom was calling.

Isabel had a smile on her face, "Good morning, Mom!"

"My Sweet Izzy.  How are you darling?"

"Finally enjoying the morning, relaxing, it has been a crazy week at work."

Camille sounded concerned, "Everything okay?"

"Oh for sure, just tons of breaking news, and yesterday there were tornado warnings.  Where I am at it was safe though, we just had heavy rain. Will you still be here on Saturday?"

With a sigh of relief, "I did see you had awful weather.  I am so glad you are okay.  Your Dad and I will be there at lunch time on Saturday.  Will your neighbor be around this weekend?"

"Oh wonderful!"  Laughing a little, "And I can sleep in on Saturday.  Yes, Drew will be around all weekend, unless he gets called into work."

Camille laughed, "You still have to have your beauty sleep even after all these years.  Let's plan to have lunch together, how does that sound?"

"That sounds perfect, Mom.  I'm so excited to see you and Dad, and I can't wait for you to meet Drew!"

"Your Dad and I are looking forward to meeting your new man too.  We will keep in touch, and see you very soon, Sweetie."

"Sounds wonderful Mom, I love you!"

Camille made a kissing sound into the phone, "I love you so much Izzy."

Isabel was sitting at her kitchen table in a chair.  After she hung up, she sat back and took a long and desperately needed drink of her coffee.  Her phone rang, startling her from her thoughts.  When she looked at the screen her heart rate increased, and she found herself grinning from ear to ear.

She swiped to answer, "I thought we were supposed to talk every night?"

Drew just laughed softly, "Well, I thought I would see if you want to have breakfast tomorrow morning?  I may be too busy tonight to call."

Isabel just grinned, "Breakfast sounds perfect!  I am looking forward to seeing you, it has been a long week."

"It was pretty crazy at the station too.  I'm so looking forward to wrapping my arms around you.  Taking you to your bedroom, and having my way with you."

Isabel felt immediately aroused, and found herself rubbing her breast.  Her breathing had increased.  Then with a soft laugh, "Not if I can get to you first.  Just hearing your voice has me very excited for breakfast tomorrow."

"Oh really?  How excited?"

"Nope, I'm going to make you wait just a bit longer.  But just know I find myself unable to stop touching myself."

Drew took in a deep breath, "Izzy, you drive me crazy.  I'll see you soon baby!"

Isabel was completely aroused, and also found herself loving the way Drew called her Baby.  It was time to take care of these aroused feelings with a long hot shower.

On Friday morning the sun was just peeking out, the morning was calm and cool.  You could hear the seagull's busily finding their breakfast, and the sound of laughter on the beach.  Isabel was sleeping soundly and dreaming some oh, so sweet dreams.  She was sprawled out on her bed, on her back, her sheet only across her breasts, long hair fanned out on the pillow.  She was dreaming of Drew kissing her, enjoying his hands on her, all over her body.  She started to feel the signs of coming awake- her dream was fading ever so slowly away, but his touch was still strong in her mind.

Drew had finished his shift at 6:00 am, then came home to shower.  He had been thinking about Isabel all week. What she did to him was beyond anything he had experienced with any other woman.  He put on a pair of shorts and nothing else, and walked over to her cottage.  She had started locking her door, but had given him a key, so he made his way into her cozy little cottage.  All he wanted was to touch her, every inch of her.  The sight before him was beyond beautiful.  She was sleeping so soundly he hated waking her.  He stepped out of his shorts, and started at her feet and spread little kisses on feet, then her silky legs.

He felt her start to stir, as he crawled up her body on his hands and knees.  She made this adventure easy, because she loved to sleep in the nude.

He then started kissing his way up to her mouth.  Her gorgeous mouth he missed so much the last four days.  He was on top of her, kissing her jaw, her eyes, her nose, then her mouth.

Isabel opened her eyes and smiled, "my handsome Drew!"  She wrapped her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck.  They both started to kiss each other like the world was going to explode around them.

Isabel lifted her head, looked into his eyes and smiled.  "I thought you wouldn't be home until later?  I was going to sneak into your cottage, but you beat me to it!"

Isabel just had a way about her that made him feel... well... love.  Wow, love?  Where did that come from?  He wanted to take this slow, to make sure his heart was completely safe.

Standing in the kitchen, leaning against the counter by the sink.  Drew looked at Isabel and smiled, "so do you drink coffee all day?"

Isabel was pouring her coffee into her favorite mug.  With Snoopy dancing under her palm, she took a big gulp of her delicious addiction.  Then she turned and with a teasing tone, "Who drinks coffee only once a day?"  She walked over and leaned into Drew, put her palm on his broad chest.  "I usually have coffee three times a day.  Working in television requires caffeine."

"Hmmmm, really?"

She then slide her hand up his chest, to the back of his neck, and then combed her fingers in his hair.  "You're not a big coffee drinker?"

He found himself sinking into her touch.  He let out a slight moan, then "firefighters require beer."

Laughing, "Well, I'll make sure to pick some up when I go to the grocery store." Another sip of coffee,  "I have to leave soon, do you want to meet me for dinner later?"

Drew wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into him, "I would love to."

She pressed into him, and moved up and down slightly, "I can't say exactly when, can I just call you?  Or did you have plans?"

Drew took in a deep breath, then laughing, "Isabel, don't start something you can't finish, and you can call me anytime."
