Chapter Sixteen
Scarlett
I have to admit, Preston is pretty smooth. After that kiss we spent the night laughing, eating all my favorite snacks, and talking. I learned a lot more about his reasons for leaving the hospital, which made a lot of sense considering I know he isnât that cold man I met that day in the hallway. Another reminder that weâve wasted a lot of time by me letting my emotions get the best of me.
âSo, you said Colton builds multi-million dollar homes now and your Dad still isnât proud of him?â I know Preston and Coltonâs Dad was always really hard on them, I actually never met him because Preston was afraid heâd scare me off. His stepmother Eleanor seems like she really earned the name wicked step-mother.
âDr. West isnât proud of anyone but himself. He only tolerated me because I became the doctor to follow in his footsteps. But when he realized that I wasnât following exactly in his footsteps by becoming a surgeon, he started to make my life really miserable at the hospital. After a while, I decided I was done trying to impress him and just left. According to him moving and buying Dr. Kramerâs practice was career suicide.â I can see the sadness in his eyes of not having a father figure to support him.
âWell, it sounds like meeting him next week should be real fun.â I roll my eyes.
âYou donât have to go, Scarlett. It wonât be fun at all.â He turns serious.
âBetween Caleb and Elizabeth, and your father, I wouldnât want to be anywhere else. You are a wonderful doctor and Colton is more talented than any other contractor Iâve ever seen, judging by your kitchen. Someone needs to stand up to them and defend you two.â Preston gently pulls my face between his hands and stares directly into my soul.
I donât know which one of us leans in first, but this kiss is different. It is like something changes for us. Being able to understand a little more about Preston allows me to drop that final piece of my wall against him. I canât stay away from him even if I want to anymore.
I am so entranced by Prestonâs mouth on mine, I didnât notice that my hand begins to reach into the waistband of his pants. They are moving with a mind of their own. I am about to make a move I canât take back, and a move that Iâve never been the first one to make. I must hesitate too long because I feel his hand on mine.
âIf you arenât ready, we donât have to do anything more than we are Scarlett,â he says as he pulls back to look me in the eyes.
Itâs not that Iâm not ready, it isnât something we havenât done before, just not yet in this new relationship. I decide to be bold and move my hand further under his waistband. I feel Preston stiffen when I wrap my fingers gently around the base of his cock.
