with his hands on her shoulders, he steered her behind one of the floor-to-ceiling shelves, concealing them even further from potential prying eyes. `` now where were we ? ''he asked, with a smile. she grinned and wrapped her arms around his neck. `` i think you were getting acquainted with second base . ''`` yes, i re...
his fingers jerked her hair back, pulling her lips back from his. he gazed into her heavy lidded eyes before his mouth dipped to her neck. his tongue slid up her jugular, feeling her racing pulse. `` so you'll let me inside your body but not your heart ? ''he demanded. `` yes. please pesh . ''now that he had her right ...
god, yes, i do . ''`` so let me give you this pleasure. i want nothing more than to see you come apart . ''he licked his lips. `` then you'll let me take you out . ''her eyelids fluttered, and she bit down on her lip. he could tell she was internally raging war with herself about what to do. as his fingers sped up thei...
when he had them down to her ankles, he rose back up. grabbing her by the waist, he shifted her to the side where she bumped into the counter. he gripped her h*ps once again and raised her up to where her butt rested on the cool formica. he slid her pants and thong over her shoes, letting the drop into floor below him....
as his tongue flicked and teased her swollen clit, megan threw her head back and moaned. his lips closed over her clit, sucking it hard. her h*ps began to rock back and forth. he knew it wasn't going to take him long to make her come-she was too ready for this. it had been a long time for her as well. he resisted using...
when he finally glanced up, he found megan staring at him, a combustive mix of emotions swirling in her blue eyes. `` that was ... '' smiling, he rose up from the floor. his hands gently came to her waist. he was just about to pull her down when she stopped him. `` don't. i can't even feel my legs right now . ''he brus...
one minute you've got your tongue buried inside me, giving me the most intense orgasm of my life, and then the next you're blushing. it's like you became another person a few minutes ago. you were forceful and domineering . ''a shudder rippled through her as she raised her brows. `` do you always get like that when it ...
almost too easily for his liking. what had he said to her in the heat of the moment? he stared intently at her. `` all i could think of was how much i wanted you and what it would take to have you . ''`` you really wanted me that much ? ''she asked, her brows rising in surprise. `` yes, i did . ''with a coy smile, she ...
`` you're a bad boy trying to trick me . ''`` i'm sorry. i play dirty when i have to . ''without another word, megan unbuttoned and unzipped him. she eased his pants and boxer shorts off his hips. when his erection was freed, she glanced between them. `` hmm, pretty impressive . ''he started to laugh at her remark, but...
the dirty talk, coupled with the way she had her hand on him, caused him to tighten up. he tried to pull away, but she kept hold of him. and then he was coming undone. when he finally came back to himself, he opened his eyes to see that he'd come on megan's exposed thighs. `` i'm sorry, '' he said. `` it's okay. it was...
he was still far too obliterated by a simple hand job to be processing coherent thoughts. `` our date . ''he had almost forgotten what he asked of her. out of the heat of the moment, he felt guilty for what he had done. he shook his head. `` no, i wasn't being fair. you don't owe me a date . ''`` yes, i do. i always ke...
since it might be his only chance, he knew he wanted to make the date as special as he could. `` wear something dressy. we might be going somewhere that requires more formal wear than jeans . ''`` okay, i think i can do that . ''at the sound of his pager, he grimaced. `` guess i'll be the one leaving first . ''without ...
she'd changed outfits at least three times before deciding on a black and white lace dress that came just to her knees. it had actually come out of the back of her closet-one of the tamer remnants of her wilder days. pesh had told her to wear something dressy, and it did fall into the dressy category, although it was p...
gavin, who stood beside sean at the counter, nodded. `` we never see you in anything but scrubs . ''megan couldn't help smiling at her brothers. `` thank you . ''wagging his brows, gavin asked, `` got a hot date, huh ? ''`` not exactly, '' she replied, as she went to grab her purse. `` yeah right, '' he mumbled under h...
she found her dad lounging in his chair with mason snuggled to his side. when her dad looked up, he did a double take. `` don't you look beautiful, sweetheart, '' he said. she bent down and kissed his cheek. `` thanks, daddy . ''mason tore his gaze away from the television to look at her. `` mommy, bye-bye ? ''this was...
`` hi, '' she said shyly, after they had stared at each other for a few seconds. he smiled. `` hello . ''`` would you like to come in ? ''as he nodded, she stepped aside to give him room to come in the door. he turned back to her and held out the roses. `` these are for you . ''after the words left his lips, he grimace...
`` what ? ''she asked. `` i think we have a potential stowaway, '' he replied, with a smile. she whirled around to see mason standing in the foyer. `` what's wrong, baby ? ''`` no go, '' he whimpered. she glanced up at pesh. `` i'm sorry. he usually is fine about me leaving him . ''she knelt down beside mason. `` i won...
`` you don't mean that, '' megan argued. pesh cut his gaze over to her. `` sure, i do. i can adjust our reservations . ''she couldn't help staring at him in shock. how was it possible he was so willing to change his plans simply because mason didn't want her to leave? she fought the urge to reach out and touch his shou...
`` go get your shoes, '' megan instructed. as mason raced back into the living room, megan stood up. `` you really don't have to do this . ''`` honestly, i don't mind. we can go have lunch with mason, and then we can start our date. i'm sure he'll be worn out and ready for a nap when we get back, right ? ''`` yes, he w...
as megan walked through the doors of their local chuck e. cheese, she recoiled slightly at both the ear- splintering noise and the stomach-turning smells. she also fought her embarrassment at the looks she and pesh were getting for their more formal outfits. `` i think we're a little overdressed, '' she said. he held u...
she got them a couple of slices of mason's favorite, pepperoni, along with some drinks and then made her way over to a table close to the toddler area. when she caught pesh's eye, she waved them over. after several tense moments, he was finally able to convince mason to leave the play area to come and eat. as mason bou...
`` this is terrible, '' he muttered. `` i should have warned you not to bother eating. it only seems appetizing to small children who are hyped up on adrenaline . ''he took a long swig from his coke and swished the liquid around like he was trying to rid himself of the taste. when he caught mason looking at him, he put...
as megan watched them, the small ache in her chest began to grow. pesh was completely hands on, hoisting mason up where he could reach things and then catching him when he came off the slide. he seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with mason. some guys would have played with mason only to get on her good side. but ...
i had a good time . ''when he glanced over at megan, she gave him a genuine smile. `` i had a good time, too . ''taking one of his hands off the steering wheel, he reached over to take her hand in his. while the gesture was a little too lovey-dovey for her liking, she didn't argue with him. instead, she just enjoyed hi...
actually, it's more of a question than it is a hint . ''`` yeah ? ''`` do you have a fear of heights ? ''she snorted. `` no, i don't. why ? ''he gave her a sly grin. `` i told you. it's a hint . ''`` i went skydiving when i turned twenty-one, so i'm totally fine with heights. of course, i seriously doubt we're going sk...
`` for now at least, '' he said, with a wink. when the car started slowing down, megan peered out the windshield before turning to pesh. `` we're at mccollum ? ''`` yes . ''`` you're taking me flying ? ''he smiled. `` yes, i am . ''even though she had known he had a plane from how he'd helped get aidan to noah's delive...
unable to speak, she merely bobbed her head. pesh only chuckled at her response. `` come on. let's get going . ''still in shock, she remained rooted to her seat. when he came around to open her door, she peered up at him. `` tantric sex? like sting, trudie styler, and tantric sex ? ''`` yes, i suppose so, '' he replied...
after all, if tantric sex with pesh was anywhere as good as his efforts in going down on her, she was one very lucky lady. `` i guess you'll just have to educate me . ''they were interrupted by an air traffic controller with a headset. `` hey, dr. nadeen, how goes it ? ''`` good. thank you. everything ready to go, lewi...
`` you couldn't just take me somewhere fancy in atlanta? you have to fly me in your private plane to another city ? ''he shrugged. `` why not ? ''although it was probably unattractive, she couldn't help snorting with contempt. `` i'm probably going to sound a little like the line from pretty woman when she says she app...
and if it takes planes and fancy meals to prove it to you, then i'm going to do it . ''after his argument, megan sat frozen in dumbfounded silence. how was it possible that he knew so much about her? he was right in the fact that she settled for being the 'sure thing ' for the guys she dated in the past. she knew she d...
`` now you know. i worry about my hair, and you get your freak on in the bedroom . ''he rolled his eyes at her and turned in his seat. after placing his headset on, he started flipping switches and turning knobs. the propeller on the front of the plane started whirling. `` so what kind of plane is this ? ''she asked ov...
they soared into the blue sky while zipping through white, fluffy clouds. once they had gained enough altitude, pesh eased off on the rudder and glanced over at her. `` you okay over there ? ''she grinned. `` are you kidding me? this is amazing . ''`` i'm glad to hear you like it. i didn't know if you were going to tak...
when pesh remained silent, megan knew it was time for a conversation change. `` now that i know we're going to savannah, are you going to tell me where we're going for dinner ? ''he smiled. `` it'll probably be a late lunch when we get there . ''`` so, where will our late lunch be ? ''`` do you like the historic distri...
with a wink, he added, `` you're my little adrenaline junkie . ''megan laughed. `` i was. not anymore . ''`` what changed all that ? ''`` mason. when you're responsible for the health, safety, and happiness of someone else, your entire perspective changes . ''`` he's a true gift . ''she jerked her gaze to him. `` yes, ...
after a quick talk with a member of the grounds crew, pesh took her hand and led her out of the hanger. a cab waited to take them into the city. she laughed as she slid across the seat. `` what ? ''pesh asked. `` i'm surprised by the cab. i thought you might really go upscale by having a limo or chauffeur-driven car pi...
they were ushered to a quiet, candlelit table. `` wine ? ''pesh asked. `` yes please . ''`` white okay ? ''`` sure . ''after the waiter left with their drink order, megan surveyed the menu and sighed. `` everything looks so good . ''glancing over his menu at her, pesh said, `` with the cuisine being southern, i imagine...
`` really ? ''she nodded. `` sometimes i feel like people try to do the same thing to me. people have their own assumptions about girls or women who get knocked up. i hope i constantly prove them wrong . ''`` i'm sure you do . ''after taking a sip of his wine, he cocked his head at her. `` prove me wrong on this one. d...
emma is my family . ''she swirled the wine around in her glass. `` i've heard her side of the story, but i don't think i've heard yours . ''`` you heard a little when you were inebriated the night of noah's baptism . ''now it was megan's turn to grimace. `` i still would like to know . ''pesh drew in a ragged breath. w...
`` she reminded me so much of jade that it was easy to try to imagine that what i was feeling for her was romantic. i hadn't been out in so long that i wanted to woo her, just like i wanted to you . ''`` and aidan came between you ? ''`` in a way, both he and jade did . ''`` what do you mean ? ''pesh laughed. `` let's ...
when she had to go on bed rest, i wanted to be her knight in shining armor . ''`` being a hero is not exactly a bad character trait . ''`` it is when you can't save someone, and you have to constantly live with the guilt . ''megan's heart ached at the pain on his face. sensing she needed to lighten the mood, she teased...
she shook her head. `` that doesn't turn me off at all. i've had my fill of jocks . ''`` oh ? ''he questioned. although he was trying to be nonchalant about it, she knew he wanted to hear the full story. `` dating jocks for me is poison, and when i did date one, i made sure to date the ones at the top of their game. my...
`` i can not believe, you of all people, suggested such a thing . ''with a shrug, pesh replied, `` it's a harmless prank . ''`` i realize that. it's just i can't imagine someone like you would even think of doing something like that . ''when he started to open his mouth to argue, she held up her hand. `` i know, i know...
megan asked, as she downed the last of her wine. pesh nodded his head toward the small dance floor. `` how about a dance instead ? ''she wrinkled her nose. `` i'm really not much of a dancer . ''he arched his brows at her as if he knew she was lying. `` okay, fine, i used to dance all the time back in high school and c...
`` we both know you'll let me into your body but not your heart . ''knowing he was right, she crossed her arms over her chest and scowled at him. she didn't know why she just couldn't get up and go dance like he had asked. she'd slow danced a thousand times at parties. what was the difference here? somewhere deep down,...
the lead singer's sultry voice filled the air, `` like a flower waiting to bloom . ''megan immediately recognized the song as norah jones ' turn me on. the electricity between them shifted, and as megan stared up into pesh's eyes, she saw desire and lust flaring in them. her gaze dropped down to his full lips, and she ...
it was like he was trying to see through her to her very soul. it both overwhelmed and inflamed her at the same time. it was all part of his slow seduction plan, and it was working. `` please take me somewhere-somewhere we can be alone . ''his expression became pained. `` megan- '' she brought her hand from his shoulde...
`` i need a room please . ''`` credit card and identification please, '' the inn keeper droned. as she sized him up, megan couldn't help thinking he looked rather pompous-the usual type of person who worked in a high-end place. `` would you prefer queen or- '' `` a king please, '' pesh requested through clenched teeth....
when pesh looked at her in surprise, she laughed even harder. `` what is it ? ''`` by the way that conversation went down, he probably thinks i'm a prostitute . ''pesh's eyes widened. `` you don't seriously think that ? ''`` okay, maybe a high-end escort ? ''a growl came from low in his throat. `` do not demean yoursel...
going to a hotel could have been sleazy, but this room had such a romantic feel to it. when he came up behind her and slid his arms around her waist, she couldn't help suddenly feeling shy. `` are you all right ? ''he asked. `` i'm fine . ''his breath warmed against her ear. `` you tensed when i touched you . ''`` i'm ...
megan felt his breath warming her back as the dress pooled onto the floor. she stepped out of it, and then turned to face him. the heat of his gaze stoked the fire burning deep inside her. his expression was fierce as he drank in her strapless black bra and panties, along with her heels. `` you are so beautiful . ''for...
as he shrugged off his shirt, her fingers went to his belt. the entire time she unbuttoned and unzipped him, his burning gaze took in everything she did. `` why do you keep staring at me ? ''she questioned quietly. `` i'm afraid if i look away, you won't be real . ''his hand cupped her cheek. `` i've wanted this for so...
she'd never spent time just breathing and gazing into someone's eyes. `` now you've had your first lesson in tantra, '' he murmured against her lips. she jerked her head back to stare at him in surprise. `` are you going to do more ? ''`` maybe . ''he reached around to undo her bra. `` do you want me to ? ''`` i think ...
her eyelids fluttered open, and she stared into his face as they worked each other into a sweaty, panting frenzy. when pesh curled his fingers inside her, she bit down on her lip to keep from screaming out in pleasure. her orgasm rocketed through her lower half, causing her head to fall forward onto his chest. when she...
in the heat of the moment, she had totally forgotten about that. `` you don't happen to have one ? ''he asked hopefully. she shook her head. `` sorry . ''`` it's me who ought to be sorry for putting you in a position like this without protection . ''when he started to pull away, she sat up to grab his shoulders, urging...
pesh widened her legs, and then he eased inside her, filling and stretching her walls. it had been so long that she couldn't help feeling a bit of a sting. `` are you all right ? ''`` i'm fine . ''he withdrew and flexed his hips, thrusting back inside her. this time they both moaned. setting up a rhythm, he began rocki...
this enabled him to pull her back against his pounding thrusts. while their connection at first had been so intimate, this was more about lust and desire. she reached up and clasped his face in her hands, bringing his head down to hers. their mouths and tongues met in frenzied kisses. when he pulled out of her, megan w...
finally, she couldn't take it anymore. dropping her head, she screamed into the mattress as she found her release. once her walls finished clenching, she felt pesh withdraw from her. as he groaned, megan felt warmth spurt onto her back and bu**ocks. after seeing him come before, she hated she couldn't see his face. he ...
rolling her shoulder blades, she said, `` i kinda like it. makes me feel marked or something . ''he smiled shyly at her. `` i like the idea of marking you-making you mine . ''he wanted her to be his. she didn't know quite what to think about that statement. did she want to be his? she certainly couldn't imagine belongi...
it was the first and only time she'd ever done anything so crazy. in that instance, the sex had been over before she'd known it and without her coming even once. after that fiasco, she had never wanted a repeat performance with him or any other random guy, until she'd found herself in a sex slump after mason's birth. b...
when she got into the bathroom, she raised her brows in surprise. `` a clawfoot tub ? ''she questioned. pesh laughed. `` all the old charm but modern conveniences . ''he pointed to the detachable shower head. `` nice . ''he turned on the water and waited for it to heat up. once he decided it was warm enough, he took he...
`` did you hear me complaining ? ''`` no, but i just worried . ''`` you have nothing to worry about, my love . ''his hand skimmed over her ribcage to cup her breast. as her nipple hardened beneath his fingers, she sucked in a pleased breath. `` i want nothing more than to be back inside you as soon as i can . ''`` then...
he kneaded the flesh, pinching the ni**les that were already hardened. she pinched her eyes shut from the sensory overload. just as she would feel herself about to come, he would shift his wrist so the vibrations hit her in another area, building her again. `` please, pesh, '' she moaned. `` what, baby ? ''`` please ma...
when she finally stopped shuddering, she slowly slid around to smile up at pesh. `` wow ? ''he said, with a smile. she teasingly pinched his arm. `` i was going to say exquisitely amazing . ''`` i'm sure you were . ''reaching between them, she took his erection in her hands. `` good thing i'm about to get on my knees b...
she took him as far back as she could before sliding him out. her tongue flicked over the sensitive head before she suctioned it. when she released him again, she began long licks up his length. then she once again slid him in her mouth and began bobbing her head up and down his length. his groans began to echo through...
`` i feel the same way about you . ''although they were tempted for another round, megan knew pesh didn't want to chance it without any condoms. instead, she tore herself away from him when they finished their shower. she blew her hair dry while he got dressed. once she finished, he helped her slide back into her dress...
when he finally, recovered, he tersely replied, `` i'll try to remember that, miss mckenzie . ''truly playing her part, megan turned on her heels and started walking across the lobby. she didn't get far before pesh was at her side. after shoving the hotel bill into his suit pocket, he slid his arm around her waist, dra...
his thumb came up to trail slowly across her bottom lip. `` if one truly knows how to f**k, you don't need any accessories and embellishments . ''she licked her lips as a little shiver went down her spine. `` and you certainly know what you're doing. you just got me wet right here in the middle of the street . ''his ja...
pesh grabbed them a taxi, and they made the drive back to the airport. even though they didn't speak, megan didn't feel awkward around him after what they had done. he sat as close to her as he could with her hand clasped in his. once they got back to the plane, she felt exhaustion begin to set in. leaning back against...
`` i've always thought it would be something amazing to learn . ''`` then i'll teach you . ''she turned to him in surprise. `` really ? ''`` sure. why not ? ''with a shrug, she replied, `` you're a busy man, and i don't know how fast a learner i would be . ''he smiled. `` for you i would make time . ''as she stared at ...
pesh was able to take over at any moment from his spot in the co-pilot's seat. that made her feel a little better considering she had so little flying experience, and the manual she had read at least twice didn't prepare you for everything. now as they coasted along the city skyline, she kept both hands firmly gripping...
although, the first day back at work proved both difficult and awkward as they tried to appear as though nothing had changed. but the fact was everything had changed, and it wasn't just because they had become physical. as much as megan tried to fight her growing feelings for pesh, it was virtually impossible. a man li...
a mid-day sex session in an empty hospital bed made for quite an experience, especially when the brake on the bed released, and they literally banged into the walls. but besides the naughty sexcapade, he'd wanted to spend down time with her and mason. earlier in the week, pesh brought mason to see his plane. megan had ...
the fact that pesh was so willing to do anything to make mason happy was slowly starting to crack megan's tough resolve against dating him. it wasn't just the fact that pesh was so wonderful with mason that had her reeling. when they talked, she shared more with him than she ever had with a man. he made it easy to open...
i'm so glad i get to share this with you . ''he took one of her hands from the yoke and brought it to his mouth. as his lips kissed over her knuckles, she tensed. `` i need my hand back. i don't feel like i have a good grip on the steering wheel like you said i should, '' she protested. pesh sighed and released her han...
`` i don't think it's going to affect us . ''`` yeah, well, i don't like the thought of trying to fly in a storm . ''`` then we'll head back . ''`` which way should i turn the plane ? ''`` let's take a right, '' pesh replied. megan bobbed her head and then turned the yoke at the same time she pressed on the right rudde...
`` are you implying that i'm dessert, or that after we finish dinner i should get you dessert ? ''megan laughed. `` no, i want you for dessert . ''`` then you can have me. always . ''glancing over at him, she said, `` i might have to ask for a to-go box since i'm assuming we'll have mason with us . ''`` i don't mind. i...
`` now radio atc . ''`` um, okay, '' megan replied, nibbling on her lip. after clearing his throat, megan glanced over at pesh. he motioned to the yoke. `` oh, duh, '' she replied. with her thumb, she pressed the push-to-talk button. `` this is cessna 172 coming in for landing . ''before she could ask pesh if she had d...
`` it's the same thing in a plane. but if you pull on the throttle knob, it reduces the engine power so there won't be an increase in speed . ''with her fingers grasping the black knob, megan asked, `` how hard do i need to pull on it ? ''`` try pulling back half-way . ''after pulling on the knob, megan eyed the speed....
just level it out. you always want your runway target spot to stay in the same fixed spot on the windshield . ''as megan stared ahead, she realized how close they were getting to the runway, and in turn, the ground. suddenly she wasn't so sure if she could land the plane. it was one thing taking off, but it seemed like...
no, he saw through to the real her. after taking a deep breath, she felt herself slowly calming down. `` fine. i'll try, but i'm not making any promises . ''`` that's my girl, '' pesh replied. `` what should i do now ? ''`` all right, now you need to pull the throttle all the way out as well as pulling back on the whee...
`` okay, now ease up on the wheel and push on the tops of both pedals to apply the brakes . ''without thinking, megan stomped her feet, causing the plane to screech. `` easy, '' pesh said. she let her feet off the brakes, and they began to coast. `` now you're going to bring it back into the hanger . ''`` oh, hell no! ...
`` which one is yours ? ''`` i share the third one. luckily for you, it's pretty much a straight shot in. just watch out for my dad's plane . ''megan jerked her horrified gaze over to his. `` i could be taking out your dad's plane ? ''pesh shook his head. `` you're not going to take out anyone's plane, megan. i have fa...
turning her head, she smiled. `` i think so . ''`` you were starting to worry me for a minute . ''`` i think i was worrying myself . ''pesh's warm laugh made her tingle in parts it shouldn't. with the adrenaline depleting from her system, she knew exactly what she wanted to do. or maybe the more appropriate word was wh...
megan giggled. `` maybe turbulence during the flight ? ''`` you're the one creating turbulence, '' he replied, a wicked gleam in his eyes. `` how are we going to do this ? ''she asked. `` backseat, '' he replied. with a nod, she began climbing over him into the small two seats in the back. as pesh unbuckled his seat be...
with one quick thrust, he was buried deep inside her. she gripped his shoulders, pushing against him to keep from knocking back into the seat. considering where they were, there was no time for soft and sweet. instead, the sounds in the air were of skin slapping together as pesh's movements were frantic against her. sh...
as he went about ridding himself of the condom and jerking his pants up, he called, `` yeah, trace ? ''`` i was just concerned about you considering you landed a few minutes ago and hadn't deplaned. and then there was a lot of knocking going on inside the plane . ''megan's hand flew over her mouth as she started giggli...
it took only a few seconds for him to put two and two together of what had actually been going on. he slowly started backing away from the plane. `` yeah, well, you two have a nice day then, '' he said. `` same to you, '' megan called, trying not to start giggling again. pesh shook his head as he hopped down out of the...
she exhaled with relief. `` thank goodness . ''he laughed. `` come on, little troublemaker. let's go get something to eat . ''`` sounds good to me . ''with a wink, she added, `` especially if there's dessert ! ''chapter sixteen a few days after her flying adventure and partial induction in the mile high club, megan had...
`` i really like you, megan, but i am worried that you are just playing him. it is cruel. he doesn't deserve it . ''`` i don't know what you mean . ''`` please don't play coy. not only do i have two daughters around your age, but i've spent enough time working with women to have a pretty good insight into the female mi...
`` i realize that deep down he's just a man, and after going a long time without sex, it was probably a little easier for him to give in to just a causal relationship with you. but i've worked by his side for seven years, so i have a pretty good handle on what he's truly feeling . ''`` oh really ? ''megan countered, un...
`` i wish i could tell you, but i don't even know myself, '' megan moaned as tears stung her eyes. `` dammit, stupid pms hormones . ''`` oh honey, you do actually care about him, don't you ? ''`` yes, '' she whispered. `` and you're a wreck about what you're feeling for him, aren't you ? ''kristi asked. megan couldn't ...
you always keep your emotions in check out on the floor . ''`` the truth is i do care for pesh. how could i not? i'm just not sure i'm the right woman for him . ''`` but if he loves you, how could you think you're not the right one ? ''megan blurted out all the reasons she'd previously given pesh about her age and her ...
see if dr. nadeen is on his way to lunch so you can join him . ''`` but i shouldn't. it won't look right if we're alone together . ''kristi chuckled. `` alone together in a crowded hospital cafeteria? i don't think that's possible . ''megan nibbled on her bottom lip and fought the urge to argue with kristi. after all, ...
she had seemed a little off the night before when they had dinner together in the cafeteria. she was quieter and somewhat withdrawn. he had just chalked it up to the fact that they were sitting with some of the other staff and she was trying not to make things seem weird with them now. he wondered if he should call her...
to fill the quiet of their shoes echoing on the pavement, he said, `` i hated to hear that megan wasn't feeling well . ''`` so did i. poor thing offered to pull a double tomorrow to make up for being gone . ''kristi smiled. `` she sure is going to make a fine nurse . ''`` yes, she is . ''`` you've taken a special inter...
`` of course not. i think it's a good match for both you and her . ''he remained silent for a few moments, contemplating her words. `` perhaps i should call and check on her . ''`` i think that would be a very good idea . ''she took her keys out of her purse and motioned at the honda they were standing in front of. `` ...
