Falling for Dr. Kelly: A Falling novel

by Gallie, DL

  “Yep,” I say letting the ‘p’ pop.

  “Best.Fucking.Day.Ever,” he declares.

  He takes my glass from my hand and places both glasses on the deck, he then pulls me into his arms and presses his lips to mine. Then I’m flying through the air and I’m thrown over his shoulder. My head has the perfect view of his denim-clad ass as he stalks back inside. He takes me into the bedroom, strips me naked, and gently pushes me back. Falling to the mattress, I stare up at my sexy doctor boyfriend as he begins to strip off his clothes. I’m excited for what’s about to transpire, but he shocks me when rather than fucking me, he climbs onto the bed next to me. He pulls me into his arms and we snuggle together naked. We drift off to sleep, wrapped in each other’s embrace.

  The next morning, I wake naked in his arms, just like Flynn predicted. Rolling to my side, I smile when I realize he’s already awake. “Good morning,” I huskily say, my voice still sleepy.

  “I love waking up like this.”

  “Me too.” Lifting my hand, I cup his cheek in my palm and run my finger along his jaw. The stubble tickling me.

  “I love you, Avery Evans, and I cannot wait for this to be official official.”

  “Define official official?”

  “Your stuff here. You redecorating this place to turn it from a drab bachelor pad penthouse to OUR love nest penthouse.”

  “Really? I can add a few feminine touches?”

  He nods at me. “Yep, this will be your home too, Avery. I want you to be comfortable here.”

  “As long as I have you, that’s all the matters.”

  He leans forward and presses a kiss to my lips and then FINALLY, I get lucky.

  Sure it’s crazy to be moving in together, considering I’ve only known Flynn for less than a year but when you know, you know. And it feels right, so we are taking the plunge and have decided to officially cohabitate together. Some say it’s too soon—I’m looking at you, Cress—but we don’t care what anyone else thinks. We are happy with our decision, and that’s all that matters. Truth be told, from the moment my eyes landed on the sexy as sin Irish doctor at the Tavern, I started falling so this was inevitable.

  * * *

  …later that day

  Flynn didn’t waste any time and he rallied the troops and today is officially the day I move in with him. With Baylor incarcerated, it was up to me to move us out, but thankfully, with the help of Preston, Cress, Lexi, and Flynn it wasn’t as daunting as I expected, packing up two people’s lives. Bay and I had lived here for nearly seven years. We had accumulated a lot of crap in that time. Bay’s stuff was placed in storage and my things were transferred to Flynn’s, well I guess, our place.

  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be living in a penthouse apartment, or be hopelessly in love, but here I am doing both. I am irrevocably in love with Flynn Kelly, and today I moved in with him. Oh My God, I’m your cliché love song right now—cue sappy love song music—but I don’t care. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

  After a grueling day, Preston, Cress and Lexi have just left…together. I cannot wait to have drinks with Cress soon to grab all the gritty, sexy gossip on her and a certain pediatric doctor because there is definitely some, okay a lot, of sexual tension between the two of them. It’s been going on for months now, but my best friend is playing coy. The fact he’s amazing with Lexi confirms my suspicion that something is going on between them, AND Lexi is extremely friendly with him. It's like they already know one another, because it usually takes Lexi time to warm up to people, especially men due to her douche hat father, but she and Preston are buddies already.

  Flynn has taken the last box down to the car and I stand in the now empty apartment. Looking around, I sadly smile. Baylor and I had some great times here over the last seven years. It was here that I got my acceptance letter to college, had my graduation party, celebrated my placement at Westside Elementary, AND it was the place where Flynn and I first confessed our love for one another.

  Closing my eyes, a smile appears on my face when I feel Flynn’s presence behind me. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back into his chest. He nuzzles my ear and whispers, “I love you, Avery Evans, and I cannot wait to live with you.”

  Spinning in his arms, I drape mine over his shoulders and gaze into his sparking blue eyes. “I love you too, Dr. Kelly, now take me home and ravish me.”

  “Home, I like that.”

  “Yeah, me too…now let’s go.”

  “With pleasure, Ms. Evans, with pleasure.”

  An hour later, we are standing in the kitchen by the island counter. Flynn is in a pair of denim jeans which sit low on his hips. I’m wearing my pale pink satin sleep shorts, with matching cami top, and my beige slouchy cardigan, as there is a chill in the air tonight.

  Flynn opens a bottle of red and pours us each a glass. He hands one to me and when our fingers brush, a sizzling zing zaps through my body, causing me to shiver.

  “You cold, Ave lass?”

  Shaking my head, I smile at him. “No, I’m good.”

  “You are more than good, you look sexy as fuck in this.” His eyes roam over me and my body temperature rises, causing me to shiver again. He takes my wine glass from me and before he places it next to his on the countertop, he takes a sip. Leaning forward, he nuzzles along my jaw. “Mmmmm, wine tastes so much better with a side of Avery.”

  He steps back, resting against the counter, and we stare at one another. The air around is pings with lust, desire, and everything in between. Picking up my glass, I take a sip, place it down, and pressing my lips against his for a quick kiss.

  Pulling back, I stare at him and nod, “Personally, I think this wine is better with a side of Flynn.”

  “Agree to disagree?” he counters.

  Stepping to Flynn, I cup his cheek in my palm. “Agree to disagree.” I run my thumb along his chin and stare into his baby blues. His scruff is longer than usual and I wonder what it will feel like between my thighs. My cheeks heat at this dirty thought and I smirk.

  “What are you smirking at?” Lifting my gaze to his, my cheeks darken further and he smiles back at me. “You little minx, you. Tell me what dirty thoughts you have?”

  “Who says they are dirty?”

  “You did. Your cheeks are currently dirty pink and your breathing in labored. Now, tell me?”

  He rests one hand on my hips and the other on the countertop edge. Leaning back an inch, he stares intently at me. My insides quiver at the intensity of his gaze. Rubbing his cheek, I tell him what I was thinking.

  “I like the way you think dirty, Avery. Now kiss me and I might make your thoughts a reality.”

  Closing my eyes, I lean in and press my lips ever so softly to his. Our kiss starts out soft and gentle, but it quickly turns heated. Without warning, I’m flying through the air and then I’m sitting on the edge of the countertop. Flynn quickly pulls down my sleep shorts and panties. His gaze flicks from my face to between my thighs. Spreading my legs wide, I raise my eyebrows seductively at him. His face widens in a sexy grin and he gently pushes me back so I’m lying on the countertop. He drops to his knees in front of me. With his eyes locked on mine, he kisses the inside of my leg and ever so slowly kisses up my thigh. I can feel the heat of his breath and I moan, he hasn’t even kissed me where I want him and I’m already panting.

  He kisses the top of my mound. “Mmmmmm, Flynn, please,” I beg. I need more like I need my next breath.

  “With pleasure,” he growls before he licks from my taint to clit.

  “Yes,” I mewl, as he continues to devour me. The scruff on his face feels amazing, it heightens the pleasure coursing through me. Gripping his head in my hands, I press him farther into me. He attacks me with vigor and I’m loving every minute of it. He slips a finger inside and bends it, to hit that sweet spot that sets me off and suddenly, I’m screaming his name as I come all over his fingers and face.

  He stands up to full height and gazes down a
t me. His face is covered in my juices, I lick my lips. Sitting up, I lean forward, grip his cheeks in my palms and press my lips to his. Since falling for Flynn, I’ve become a fan of kissing him after he goes down on me.

  With my lips still pressed to his, I flip open his button, lower the fly, and push his jeans and briefs down his thighs. Wrapping my legs around his waist, I guide his cock toward my entrance and with a flick of his hips, he thrusts inside of me. Pistoning his hips back and forth, my body begins to tingle with orgasm number two.

  “Let go,” he murmurs against my lips.

  It’s all the prompting I need. I let the feelings envelop me and I crash over the edge for the second time tonight. Flynn soon follows, grunting through his release.

  When he’s finished, he rests his forehead against mine. We breathlessly stare at one another, completely sated and happy. He scoops me into his arms and walks us into the en suite bathroom, we shower and climb into bed together. Flynn lies on his back, and I snuggle into his side, throwing my leg over his. Looking up at the man who has become me world, I whisper, “I’m going to love living with you, Flynn Kelly.”

  “And I’m going to love living with you too, Avery Evans.”

  Flynn

  Today Avery is a nervous Nelly, as am I, but we are nervous for two very different reasons. She’s excited because Baylor is getting released today. Me? Well I’m nervous because I’m going to ask Ave to marry me. And her nerves are adding to my nerves, so I’m on the edge right now. She doesn’t want me to go with her to pick up Baylor; she wants it to be the two of them. I’m relieved because it will allow me to get everything set for the proposal.

  “All right, I’m off.” She stops in front of me. “I’m so nervous.”

  “Why are you nervous?” Wrapping my arms around her waist, I gaze down into her sparkling green eyes.

  “I’m scared I’ll get there and they’ll tell me it's an error and she’s not coming home today.”

  “Bay is coming home today, tell that overactive imagination of yours to settle down.”

  “And you are one-hundred-perfect sure it’s okay for her to stay here?”

  “Of course, she’s your sister. Will it suck to not be able to bend you over the island counter and fuck you when I want? Yes, but it’s not forever. From what I know of your sister, she’ll want her own place and independence before I get sick of her.”

  She smiles. “When did you get so wise?”

  “I’ve always been wise, you’re just noticing it now.”

  “Let me bow down to you then, ohh wise one.” She steps back and bows down.

  “Smart-ass.” Looking at the clock, I tap her ass. “You better get going, otherwise, you’ll be late.”

  “Okay, wish me luck.”

  “Good luck, not that you’ll need it.” I’m the one who needs luck if I’m going to pull this off. “Now go on, get, my other girlfriend is on her way over.”

  She playfully smack me in the chest. “Hardy, har-har.” She kisses me on the lips and as she walks away, she looks over her shoulder. “Say hi to Ms. Palmer for me.”

  Shaking my head, I laugh and watch as my girlfriend, soon to be fiancée—I hope—exits the penthouse. When I hear the ding of the elevator, I race into my office and grab the fairy lights, candles, and flowers I stashed in here earlier, thankful she was in the shower when Max delivered it all. With my arms full, I head out to the patio to turn this place into a sparkly romantic wonderland.

  Cress is onboard to get here around six with Lexi, who seems to be doing much better now. It was touch and go for a while after the accident, but with Preston on her case, and how he feels about Cress, it’s good to see the little munchkin running around, happy and giggling again. Now, we just need Preston and Cress to pull their heads out of their asses and get their act together. Now that Lexi is healthy again, I think she will play a big part in that.

  I’ve asked them to be here too, as I want all of Avery’s ‘family’ here when I ask her the most important question of her, and my, life.

  Time seems to be dragging by and finally my phone pings.

  CRESS: On our way up

  Cress had arranged with Avery to meet here when the sisters return, but little does Ave know that Cress was going to be here anyway. The ding of the elevator causes my heart rate to accelerate and rapidly race within in chest. The front door swings open and they all walk in.

  “Hi, Bay,” I say, as I wrap her in a hug.

  “All set?” she whispers, and I nod my head.

  A lump forms in the back of my throat and I feel like I want to throw up. I’m so fucking nervous. We stand in the foyer chatting when Avery says, “Come on in, no need to stand in the foyer all night.” She looks vibrant and happy right now, and then her words register.

  “No,” I shout, startling everyone. “Ave lass, ummm, ahh, can I speak with you for a moment please…privately…outside.”

  She looks at me suspiciously but nods her head and starts walking outside. “Back in a sec.” Cress and Bay both nod and grin like fools. Taking a deep breath, I follow behind her and when she steps outside, I flick the switch on the remote in my hand and the area lights up. Ave stops midstep, gasps, and covers her mouth.

  Stepping around her, I take her hands in mine. She pulls her gaze to mine, her eyes sparkling and glassy with unshed tears. “Ave lass, I was falling for you from the moment I laid eyes on you at the Tavern. That first night was the best night of my life. The next morning you were gone and I was crushed, but fate had other ideas. We ran into each other again and this time, I didn’t let you go. The more time I spent with you, the harder I fell. I knew you were the one for me, and I hope you feel the same way.” Dropping to my knee, I pull the ring from my pocket. It’s white gold with a round brilliant-cut diamond in a halo style. I place it at the tip of her ring finger. “Avery Evans, will you marry me?”

  She’s frozen and doesn’t say anything for what feels like eternity. Then she nods her head and the biggest smile ever graces her face. “Yes. Yes. Yes. Flynn, yes, I’ll marry you.”

  Sliding the ring on to her finger, she lifts her hand and gazes at it. Then her eyes land on mine. I have never been happier than I am in this moment. She grips my cheeks in her palms and covers my mouth with hers. Her tongue slides effortlessly into mine and our first kiss as an engaged couple is amazing.

  The moment is interrupted when Cress, Preston, Lexi, and Baylor join us outside. The girls all have sparklers in their hands and smiles on their faces too.

  “I’m engaged!” Ave joyously shouts.

  The girls race over to her and admire her ring. Preston walks to me and we do the one-arm bro hug. “Congrats, dude.”

  “Thanks,” I say, as I watch my fiancée with her friends. I fell hard for Avery Evans and each day I fall harder for her. I now get to spend the rest of my life with the most amazing woman in the world. I’m a lucky lucky man.

  Epilogue

  My life was plain and boring, and then one day I met Flynn Kelly and my world was turned upside and inside out. From the first moment I laid eyes on him, I started falling. We are complete opposites but as the saying goes ‘opposites attract’ and even though that’s definitely the case with us, we go together perfectly.

  I thought the day Flynn proposed was the happiest day of my life. And it was, until the day I became Mrs. Avery Kelly, but that moment has once again been trumped. Today, I gave birth to our twin boys, Marvin and Marshall. In honor of a great man who was taken too soon. His memory will live on in the form of these two little boys.

  “How you doing?” Flynn asks, as he gazes down at our boys sleeping in their bassinet.

  Standing up, I walk, well, shuffle, over to him and wrap my arm around his waist and look down at our munchkins. A smile graces my face. “Considering I just punched two watermelons out of my va-jay-jay, I’m pretty good. I think I’m still high though, everything is fuzzy, and I’m guessing I look like a hot mess.”

  “I’d
say a sexy hot mess.” Placing a kiss on my head, he hugs me closer to him.

  “You need your eyes checked, I’m sure there’s an optometrist around here somewhere.”

  “My eye sight is perfectly fine, Avery Kelly.”

  “Pffft, whatever you say.” I pause. “We did good, didn’t we?”

  “Yep, they are perfect. Just like their momma.”

  “And just like their daddy. You think Marvin is up there gloating to everyone that we named them after him?”

  “I have no doubt. And knowing the Houdini he is, I bet he’s trying to find a way to get back down here so he can see them in the flesh.”

  I laugh and startle the boys. “Oops.” I shrug. We each pick up a baby and like the pros we are—not—we rock them back to sleep….an hour and a half later. Who knew two, tiny, cute little beings could make so much noise? Once they are asleep again, we place them back in the bassinet and stare down at them.

  Flynn pulls me into his side and kisses my head, before grabbing my hand and tugging me toward the bed. “We sleep when they sleep,” he whispers, as we climb into the tiny hospital bed and snuggle.

  “I love you, Flynn.”

  “I love you too, Ave.”

  He places a kiss on my forehead and I close my eyes. As I drift off to sleep in Flynn’s arms, I realize I’m the luckiest girl alive. Falling for Dr. Kelly was the best decision I ever made; not that I stood a chance when it came to my sexy as sin Irish stud.

  THE END!

  To find out what happens with Lexi, Preston and Cress, pre-order Falling for Dr. Knight now. Their story is coming later this year.

  From the moment Cressida Bayliss and Dr. Preston Knight met, sparks flew; even though they try and fight it.
