It was not something they talked about often since they rarely had time together alone.

In the past, it didn’t bother him that much. He always wanted relationships to progress organically rather than push.

With Dillion, he wanted his gloves on to get a good grip to move them to a faster pace.

“I wasn’t sure if you were able to get lunch today,” she said, laughing. “You will not believe this. I have two patients that canceled today and they are back-to-back. My staff were going to call to see if someone wanted to come in earlier, but since both are before lunch, I thought, hmmm, let me see if I can sneak away.”

He laughed. “You want to get lunch with me rather than see patients?”

Funny how he was just thinking that this never happened with them.

“Uh, that’s a silly question for you to be asking,” she said. “I do. Things like this never happen. Maybe it’s just fate for us to have the time. Unless of course, you don’t have the time.”

“I’m leaving a meeting right now,” he said. “I’ll be back to my office in about forty minutes. When can you meet?”

There was a pause. “Will you be going by your house or are you in the other direction?”

“I’ll be driving by my house,” he said. “Why?”

“Because I’ve got two more patients and they are quick visits and I can be out the door and meet you at your house in forty minutes. If you can.”

He laughed. “I’ll see you there.”

BE AFRAID

Dillion’s heart was thumping with excitement as she drove to Jax’s house.

She’d never done anything like this in her life.

Never snuck out anywhere during the day to have a bout of sex because she was horny as hell.

She wasn’t sure she’d ever been this horny in her life.

The closest she’d ever come to it was in the beginning with Alec.

Looking back, it had more to do with the secrecy of it than the thrill of being naked with him.

They didn’t sneak off into a quiet place for a quick romp like many others who hooked up at the hospital.

Heck, most didn’t even know they were dating for six months.

They weren’t trying to keep it quiet, but no one caught on either.

Good thing it’d gotten out after they’d found out she was pregnant. Which she’d hid for five months while she and Alec made plans and moved in together.

She shivered as she drove to Jax’s.

There was no reason for her to have Alec in her head nor to compare anything between the two of them.

She’d been skittish for years about opening her heart and life up to another man.

But all she could think about was how much more intensely she felt about Jax than any other relationship.

It was making her do things she’d never considered, but not in a horrible way.

Her staff had been stunned when she’d said not to fill the two slots so she could use that time to run some errands.
