The smile on his face gets so wide if he didn’t have ears it would wrap right around his head.
“You’re the most extraordinary person I know.”
“You said that before,” I mumble, not happy that he didn’t answer me.
“You have such a brilliant mind, Doc. You can do things I’ll never understand, but when it comes to everyday life, I have so much to show you.”
He closes the gap between us and wraps me up in another hug. He presses a kiss to the side of my head and whispers, “We’re dating exclusively, which means you do not see any other men and I don’t date other women. I’m going to be an asshole and claim you as my girlfriend.”
I laugh when he says asshole, remembering that’s what I used to call him when we first met.
“Okay,” I whisper, too overwhelmed to say anything else.
“So does that mean you’ll unblock my number on your phone?” he asks teasingly.
I laugh, remembering the conversation that led to his number being blocked in the first place.
“I’ll think about it,” I tease back, knowing I’ll unblock it the second I step off the plane.
Chapter 10
JAXSON
Me: How was your day?
Doc: Exciting. I got to assist with a transplant.
Me: You’re the only woman I know who gets turned on by cutting into someone’s chest.
Doc: You still have time to back out of dating me. You never know what I might do in my sleep.
Me: Now you’re giving me a reason to tie you to the bed.
Doc: You have a one-track mind.
Me: It lives in the gutter when it comes to you.
Doc: How was your day?
I laugh when the message comes through. She still gets embarrassed whenever I start to make sexual advances.
Me: Long and hard. The same as my cock whenever I think of you.
Doc: Do you talk like that to every woman you try to impress? (I say try because I can’t imagine it working in your favor.)
Me: Nope, I only get dirty with you. (Admit it. It makes you smile.)
Doc: No.
Doc: Maybe.
Doc: Okay, fine. It makes me smile.
I let out another bark of laughter. Fuck, I’ve missed her.
Me: Send me a photo.
I wait for the photo to load and the second it’s clear I frown.
Me: Who the fuck is the guy hanging on you?
Doc: Sebastian. I’m having dinner with him tonight which means I have to go now or I’ll never be ready in time.
She’s having a dinner with another guy? What the fuck? Anger flares through me like a wildfire intent on destroying everything in its path.
Me: You’re not having dinner with him.
Doc: Why not?
Me: He has a cock.
Doc: So?
Take a deep breath, Jax. I press dial and wait for her to answer.
“I have to get ready, Jaxson.”
I can hear her moving around her room, and then the sound of water filling a bath fills my ears.
“Are you going to bathe now?”
“I am. I can’t go out smelling like half the hospital got stuck in my hair.”
I switch off the TV and walk to my room. Stripping out of my shirt, I say, “Put your phone on speaker when you get in the bath.”
“I can’t talk to you and wash my hair.”
“Doc, just put your phone on speaker.”
I hear her sigh, but she listens to me. I walk into the bathroom and open the faucets so the bath can fill. I step out of my pants and boxers.
“Are you in the bath?” I ask as I put my phone on speaker, leaving it on the counter.
“I’m getting in. Just so you know, this is such a weird conversation to have with you.”
“Are you in?” I ask again, as I shut off the faucets and step into the bath. I sink down in the water and hear her do the same.
“I’m in. Do I need your permission to bathe?” I hear the sarcastic undertone which only makes me smile.
“Touch your breast.” I intentionally lower my voice.
“What?” She sounds a little shocked.
“We’re having phone sex, Doc. Touch your breast and tell me how it makes you feel.”
“I’m not touching myself! Have you lost your mind?”
This time I can’t keep my laughter back. I decide to go first, that way she might feel more comfortable.
“My hand is on my abs, but I’m imagining that it’s yours as I move it down my body. I want to feel your hand wrapping around my cock.”
“Jaxson,” she whispers. I can picture her cheeks turning pink, which is only more of a turn-on.
“Touch yourself, Doc. Place your hand on your stomach and move it down with mine.”
“This will never work.” I hear her mumble something vague. “There, happy now? My hand is on my stomach.”
“Close your eyes and listen to my voice,” I instruct as I close my own eyes. “Move your hand down to your pussy. Imagine I’m there with you, Doc. I’m touching you.”
She’s quiet, and I can only hear the trickling of water.
“Where’s my hand, Doc?”
“On my abdomen,” she whispers.
“Slip my hand between your legs,” I whisper while I fist myself. “Your hand is wrapped around my cock. It feels so good.”
Her breath hitches, and it makes a groan rumble up my throat.
“Push a finger inside you and press your palm down on your clit.” I start to pump my cock as I picture her flushed cheeks and parted lips. I can still see her tits clearly as they bounce every time I slam into her.
“Move your finger faster and press down harder on your clit.”
“Jaxson,” she breathes my name, and I wish I were there so it could really be my hand getting her off.
“That’s right, Princess. Let me finger fuck you. I can’t wait to feel you come again. I want to feel your muscles squeeze my cock. I want to feel your body tremble as I push you over the edge.”
My hips thrust up as I lose my load and seconds later I hear her breaths still as she gasps. I can picture her clearly as she comes.
“You sound fucking hot, Doc. I really can’t wait to be buried inside of you again.”
She clears her throat, and I smile when she takes a few deep breaths.
“That was different,” she whispers.
“Don’t be embarrassed. Never be embarrassed with me.”
“Okay.”
A bell chimes and instantly my after sex bliss evaporates.
“Shit! I’m not ready.” I hear water sloshing all over the place as she scrambles to get out of the bath.
“You’re not going on a date, Doc. Don’t make me fly out there so I can beat the shit out of him.”
“I have to go, Jaxson. I’ll call you when I get back from dinner.”
“Leigh, don’t you dare fucking hang up on me now.”
I get out of the bath and wrap a towel around my waist.
“That’s it. I’m coming there. You clearly do not understand what exclusive dating means.”
“Shh… you’re overreacting.”
What. The. Fuck?
I hear her open the door, and then my eyebrows shoot past my hairline.
“Baby-girl, you’re all wet. Scoot! Go dry your luscious ass while I mop up this mess.” I rub a hand over my face as I cling to the last of my self-control.
“Don’t you dare step in those puddles of water. I’ll spank your ass fifty shades of red.”
My vision goes spotty with anger when I hear Leigh say, “Jaxson, switch to facetime.”
I switch to facetime as quickly as I can. Her smiling face fills the screen. A flicker of worry flashes over her face when she finally fucking notices how pissed off I am.
She turns the phone away from her and on two guys and for a second time my eyebrows hit my hairline.
“Jaxson, these are my friends, Sebastian and Ryan. Guys, this is my… Jaxson.”
She didn’t introduce me as her boyfriend.
“Hi,” I say lamely, unable to think of something else while I stare at the one guy who’s dressed in a blouse and heels.
“Oh my,” he says, and I can’t say that I’m all that comfortable with the way he’s looking at me. “You’ve been holding out on us, baby-girl. That’s one mighty fine chunk of hunk you’ve managed to catch for yourself.”
Then it hits. They’re gay.
Thank fuck!
A breath rushes from me as relief courses through my body.
“He’s a bit on the quiet side, but then again that might work in your favor. You know, with his mouth being busy down in your valley of pleasure.”
I start to laugh, and I’m not sure if it’s from the overwhelming relief I feel or the fact that the guy is hilarious.
“It’s so nice to meet you. You have no idea how relieved I am that you’re friends with Leigh. I can’t wait to meet you in person.”
I mean every fucking word. My girl will be safe with them.
“Aww,” the guy on the left swoons. He actually swoons. Well, there’s a first.
“I love him already. When are you coming to visit?” He screeches and grabs the other guy’s hands before excitedly looking back at us. “Double date!”
I start to laugh again, and I just know we’re going to become good friends.
Leigh brings the phone back to her smiling face.
“How was that for payback?”
I chuckle thinking she really had me going there.
“Wait until I’m there,” I say as I bite my bottom lip.
Her lips part as her eyes zero in on my mouth.
That’s good to know. My girl gets turned on when I bite my lip. I’m definitely remembering that for later.
