Snake's Addiction(20)
It was just like Lydia to move on without giving any consideration to anyone else around her.
“Hello there,” Milford said, placing a tray opposite her.
The last five days they’d avoided each other. He’d moved onto another nurse, Bernie or something. She couldn’t be sure. The work gossip wasn’t something she was interested in.
“What do you want?” she asked, lowering her paper long enough to speak.
“You looked lonely here.”
“I’m reading the paper. I don’t need to have company for that.”
“What happened to that man you were dating?” he asked.
“None of your business.”
“Well, he’s not here now, and so I’m getting my coffee.”
“You’re forcing coffee on me? Didn’t you get a single thing I said to you?” she asked.
“I was listening, but I decided to take a step back and wait.”
“Wait? For what?”
“For an opportunity like this.” He placed a coffee in front of her. “I even went and bought you a coffee.”
“Wow, you’re very independent, ordering my coffee.” She opened the cup to see it already had milk inside. “Have you spiked it?”
“No. I don’t need to get my kicks out of using narcotics to get what I want.”
She took a small sip. The coffee was rancid, but that wasn’t anyone’s fault. The coffee in the hospital was always rancid. It was how all the nurses and doctors stayed alert. “So why the sudden interest again? Am I next on your nurses list? I thought you’d move on to receptionists, fellow doctors, or maybe the rebel in you, patients.”
“You really don’t think well of me at all, do you?”
“I don’t think about you at all, Milford.”
He placed a hand over his heart as if he was hurt by her words. “You’re a cruel woman.”
Shaking her head, she took a sip. “I’m not going to sleep with you.”
“You will.”
“Ha,” she said, forcing a laugh.
They both jumped as the spare chair at the table was turned. Snake lowered himself into it. “What did I tell you?” he asked.
The moment he talked, her pussy melted like ice in the sun. She’d missed him and hated herself for it.
“Sharing a coffee,” Milford said.
She was really pleased he’d started talking. There was no way she’d form a coherent word. Snake was here, in the hospital. Judi hadn’t been discharged yet.
“There’s nothing going on here,” she said.
“No?”
“No. I was minding my own business, and he brought coffee.”
Snake kept staring at her.
Believe me. Don’t be a jackass.
He turned to look at Milford. “I’m going to warn you once and then I’ll start to use my fists. Jessica is mine. She will always be mine. You’re never going to get between her thighs because I’ll always be there.” He reached out, taking hold of Jessica’s hand. “You’re coming with me.”
“Wait just one damned minute,” she said, tugging her hand out.
“What? You want to stay here with Doctor Dick?”
“What? No, this isn’t about that. God, five days, Snake. It has been five days since I’ve heard from you. Now you’re pulling me around as if you own me.”
“We’re going shopping.”
“No, we’re not. I’m not going anywhere with you until you answer my question. Where have you been?” She folded her arms across her breasts. Her nipples were rock hard, pointing against her uniform. She didn’t want him to witness her easy need for him.
“The nursery wasn’t finished. There was still ten weeks to go for the baby to arrive. I’ve been helping decorate the club and his home. I’ve not had any time to get in touch. Judi has my phone with the pictures on. I can’t take it off her. Not yet.”
Now she felt like the worst person in the world. “I’m sorry.”
“No need to be sorry. We all get jealous.”
“I wasn’t jealous.”
“Just keep saying that.” He took her hand, leading her toward the entrance and the parking lot.
“I can’t just leave.”
“I bet you’re here on overtime. You work seven days a week. Whenever do you take a break?” He made her sound so boring.
“I like my work.”
“You’re going to learn to like me a hell of a lot more than you like your work.” He walked her toward a green car. It was nice, not very flashy but nice. “Get in.”
She didn’t argue, sliding inside. “Where are we going, or is this going to add to the list of kidnapping?”
