The Doctor and I(5)
“Good morning.”
She glanced at him and nodded. “’Morning.”
He braced himself and leaned against the door. “Listen, I don’t really apologize that often, but yesterday I was an ass. I shouldn’t have treated you poorly.”
She smirked and her eyes lit up, making his heart pound. “You still haven’t.”
He glared and ran his hand through his hair, something he seemed to do around her. “Fine, I’m sorry. I wasn’t very kind to you yesterday.”
“Apology accepted. And again I’m sorry. I realize now I must have offended you as well.”
He raised a brow. “Offend me? How?”
She shrugged. “By running off and not gaping at you.”
Before he could stop himself, he asked the question that had bothered him all night. “Well, why didn’t you? Look, I mean?” He felt his cheeks heat and felt like a damned fool. He was thirty-two for fuck’s sake.
She licked her lips and her attention was back on scrubbing the counter. “I did,” she whispered.
He stepped into the room and took the two steps to crowd her space. He shouldn’t have. She smelled fresh and amazing. His hand covered hers, stopping her motions. “Oh?”
She froze and her eyes latched to his hand on hers. He felt her shake before she looked up at him. “Of course I saw. You’re kind of hard to miss.”
“So you find me attractive then.” Statement. He knew he was good-looking.
“I didn’t say that.”
“Ouch.”
She shrugged and pulled her hand out from his. “You’re a little on the cocky side, Doctor.”
“I know women like me. I haven’t found one yet who didn’t. And you’re no different. You’re just better at hiding it.”
He knew he should shut up and stop talking, but instead he kept shoving his foot in deeper. He leaned in and ran his nose along her ear. “I think it only shocked you because you wished you were in there, taking care of me like a woman should.”
She gasped and her green eyes glared at him. “I suggest you move out of my space right now before you find yourself in need of some medical attention.”
He was shocked by the venom in her tone and quickly backed away. Yeah, he pushed it too far, but she was so blasé about him. Most women would have swooned and followed him around.
“Admit it. You find me attractive.”
She planted her hand on her hip and licked her lips, scanning his body. “Physically, sure. I’d fuck you. But your personality leaves something to be desired. That’s more important than a hot body.”
The tension rose at her vulgar words. She eyed him like a piece of candy while insulting him, and he still found himself raging for her. “Your mouth’s too pretty to talk like that, Peyton.” He moved back into her space and instantly her body tensed, but she didn’t hit him. Instead, she surprised the hell out of him and cupped him, squeezing his dick. His eyes rolled back. “What are you doing?”
She turned the tables and shoved him back until his back hit the wall, pressing her body against his. The feel of her tits elicited a groan. Her hand still cupped him, and now she massaged him through his scrubs.
“This is what you wanted, right?” She slid her other hand up his chest and wrapped her hand around the back of his neck and pulled him down to her height before pressing her lips to his.
He didn’t know what to do. The shock took over and he kissed her back before he realized he was at work—his work. He yanked his mouth from hers and groaned when he saw how beautiful she looked. Her green eyes had darkened with dilated pupils. Her chest heaved, and he knew she was feeling the same thing he did.
“This is not the time or the place.”
She shrugged and licked her lips before narrowing her eyes on his erection. “Your office then?”
At first he went to say no, but then he realized he wanted to say yes. For the first time he wanted to fuck someone a little too close to home. She already didn’t like him so he knew she wouldn’t feel jilted.
“No hard feelings after?”
She shook her head and smiled. “None whatsoever.”
He nodded. “Let’s go. I want you bent over my desk while I fuck you from behind.”
She gasped at his words and hurried around him. He watched the sway of her hips as she looked over her shoulder and winked at him. “Come get me then, Doctor. I’ve been naughty.” Then she disappeared in his office like she owned the place.
Ah, hell. Things just got complicated. She was pretty much the perfect woman. So far he’d never found one that liked to play.
Chapter 5
What the hell was I doing? The tension between me and my new boss was thick. Maybe if we just fucked and got it over with, things would run smoothly. I knew he was attracted to me like I was to him. He cornered me on purpose so I played back. It wouldn’t be much of a sacrifice to be with him one time. Hell, I needed a good lay. My body craved something great, and I was hoping he wasn’t a selfish lover, because I intended to get off too.
