A Witch and Her Man (Jeff and Gail) by G.E. Stills Read Free Book Online Page A

She was numb and weak but thoroughly satisfied.
     
    Jeff rolled from her onto his back, panting from exertion. His arm wrapped around her and pulled her to his side, cradling her head against his chest. He kissed the top of her head.
     
    "God, you're fantastic! That was mind numbing. You're like a fine wine. You're like an addictive drug, one that leaves you wanting so much more." He kissed the top of her head again and sighed in contentment. "Damn, I'm so tired. You exhausted me, beautiful." Soon, his heavy breathing signaled he had fallen asleep.
     
    She grinned when he kissed her head. Just how did he know I’d like that? Tenderly, she kissed his neck and snuggled her head against it while her fingers caressed his chest hair. She ignored his reference to God. The truth was it did not really bother her. She just liked to tease him. Her thoughts turned to his other words. He had called her fantastic, beautiful, a fine wine and addictive drug. A shiver ran the length of her spine.
     
    You are pretty damn fantastic yourself. The smile on her lips grew wider. She echoed his sigh of contentment, closed her eyes and joined him in slumber.

    Gail woke the next morning with her head resting on Jeff's chest.
     
    "Good morning," he said when he felt her eyelashes tickle his chest. "Sleep well?"
     
    "I don't know how much sleep I got, but I sure feel great," she laughed. "Would you like some coffee?" she asked, changing the subject.
     
    "I thought you'd never ask," he responded with a smile.
     
    "If you needed some that bad you know where it is and how to make it. You could have gotten up. You could have even made me some."
     
    "And miss listening to you snore? I think not. Besides, I would've had to move you and untangle your legs."
     
    Gail smacked him on his stomach and said in indignation, "I do not snore!"
     
    He did not argue but just smiled.
     
    She slid out of bed and padded into the kitchen to make the coffee, naked. He watched her as she gracefully strode out of the room. He lounged in bed for a while and listened to her busy around in the kitchen. When he heard the coffee start to perk, he got up leisurely, slipped on his boxers, picked his holster up from the nightstand and went to join her.
     
    He sat down at the table while she poured two cups. He watched as she sauntered across the kitchen floor to the table, each hand carrying a steaming cup of coffee.
     
    "Careful, you don't want to burn anything," he teased.
     
    Gail set her coffee on the table and walked over to give him his cup. She turned around and strolled back to her place on the opposite side of the table. As she did, she swayed her hips in an exaggerated motion causing her backside the move in a seductive fashion.
     
    "Yeah, yeah it looks nice, Gail. It does make me rather uncomfortable though, seeing you this way over a cup of coffee," he laughed.
     
    "Why, Jeffery? Do I look different this morning?" she asked and batted her eyelashes as she sat down. "I didn't hear you complain last night when this naked body was wrapped around you," she said with a lusty laugh.
     
    Heat rushed to his cheeks. "Gail, you really enjoy teasing me, don't you? Please don't call me Jeffery. My mom called me that when I was a little boy and in big trouble."
     
    "I think I've behaved myself admirably over the weeks you've been here. I figure now that we have, well, been intimate…"
     
    "Behave? That would be a first for you. The scanty outfits you've been wearing are as much torture as seeing you naked. Do you have any idea how much seeing you that way bothered me?"
     
    "In a good way, I trust. At least you seeing me dressed that way finally worked."
     
    "You're a little scamp. As for last night, it was amazing. "
     
    "Good, because I thought it was too." She winked.
     
    "And by the way, what did you mean when you said 'don't worry, I'm a witch'?"
     
    "I said, 'don't worry' because being a witch, I have full control over my fertility. I won't
