The Doctor and I(2)

“That’s great.”

“Thanks, I work hard to make sure that everyone is seen. There are too many people who get turned away. It’s my way of giving back, I guess. I grew up here, and I know what it’s like to be poor.”

I felt my smile widen. “I love that. My last office wasn’t so… kind or caring. In fact, I was blessed to find this opening when I did. I was glad to leave.”

“Why’s that? Something tells me you left more than a job behind.”

“Yep, and no, I don’t know you enough to talk about it—and just because I saw your junk doesn’t mean we’re besties now.”

He rolled his eyes. “You’re gonna let me live that down, right? I’m a man who works a lot of hours. Sometimes I need a relief. It’s natural.”

“Oh I know. Wasn’t the best first impression though. Makes you seem like a sex addict if you have to do it in the office before the day even starts.”

“You’re not wrong.”

I stumbled as he walked away chuckling. I wasn’t even sure if he was serious, but he didn’t give me a chance to ask. I hadn’t expected him be so—open. I shook my head. He was messing with me.





Chapter 2

Kendrick smiled when she stumbled. She’d thrown him off the moment he heard her tiny gasp when she’d caught him in the middle of getting off. Instead of chasing her, he finished. She wasn’t wrong about him. He was a very sexual man, and no one got in the way of his release. He should probably remember to lock his office from now on. Apparently his new nurse didn’t think knocking was important.

She was hot as hell. She had that stern, sexy librarian thing going on. Her red hair was bright, long and slicked back into a tight ponytail on top of her head. Mixed with her bright green eyes covered by glasses, she was most men’s version of a wet dream. He struggled being around her. She smelled delicious and looked amazing with her large tits and a big ass that he’d love to spank. He wondered how long it would be before he would bag her, then run her off since he didn’t do relationships. She’d feel jilted. He shook his head. He didn’t fuck women in town—ever. So he sure as hell wouldn’t bag his new nurse, no matter how sexy he found her. People in town didn’t know about his private life, and he kept it that way for a reason.

As far as everyone was concerned he was the best doctor around, and he didn’t date. Everyone knew that. He never brought women home. None even knew where he lived. He was smart about his extracurricular activities. He’d do well to remember she was now a woman from town—meaning off limits. He sighed in relief. He kept to his rules easy, so it wouldn’t be hard to keep his hands to himself.

“I am usually booked from open to close six days a week. Thursdays I’m never here. It’s my one day off. Leslie usually worked a few hours just in case. I don’t expect you to do that. She only did that because she needed the money, and she grew up here and loves the people.”

“I can do that too if you want. I love helping people and since I don’t know anyone it’s not like I have any hot dates or anything.”

He heard the bitterness in her tone and realized she’d been burned recently. “I see. Well, not until I trust you. Maybe after a couple of weeks. For now let’s just see how this is going to work. I need to know how well we’ll be able to work together.”

“Fair enough. I want you to know that I take my work very seriously, and I shouldn’t have given you a hard time earlier. It was disrespectful. I guess it just surprised me to see something so private.”

Kendrick was surprised. Most women didn’t admit when they were wrong. He felt a stirring in his pants and wanted to groan. Apparently his body liked it too. Damn, she was going to make his life more difficult. “It’s okay. We can move on and see how you fit in around here. This town isn’t small, but everyone here still pretty much knows everyone else. It’s one of those kinds of towns. Newbies don’t always get accepted.” And yes, he realized how much of an ass he was being.

The happiness he saw forming behind her eyes fled, and she frowned. “Oh, well okay. I guess we’ll see.” She shoved invisible strands of hair from her face. “So uh, what do you want me to do this morning?”

“Just clean the rooms up and make sure everything has been sanitized. Leslie usually does, but I like to double-check. Better safe than sorry.” Then he walked away, leaving her to figure it out. Taking a deep breath, he felt her eyes boring into his back. If she didn’t like him, then it could work right? He glared down at his rising erection. He really didn’t think he had a problem. Normally, he was more controlled.
