Page 30 of The Doctor

Rolling onto my side, I curl around Raine’s body and yawn. “I could take a nap myself.” I pull the covers up to our shoulders and let the warmth of my bed and Raine lull me into sleep.

The chill of Raine’s body missing against mine has me blinking my eyes open to find her at the bedroom door in one of my t-shirts.

“Where are you going?” I groan sleepily.

Looking over her shoulder, she smiles shyly. I love that Raine has no idea how beautiful and alluring she is. She moves closer until her thighs hit the edge of the mattress. “To work. I have a lot I need to do to prepare for Rio.”

Reaching over, I grab her around the waist and pull her back to me. “I thought you were trying to sneak away again.”

Curling up beside me, Raine smiles. “Not likely. You just agreed to be my sex slave through this whole pregnancy. Expect lots and lots of booty calls. I read women can get extremely horny while pregnant.”

Running my nose along hers, I crack a smile. “I have good news for you for once. It is indeed correct many women do become more aroused while pregnant. Do I need to get another answering service just for you?” I hum happily against her shoulder.

“You might, but for now, I’ve got to go. I’ve got a lot to do and very little time.”

I tighten my grip on her, hating that she needs to leave, and I’m unsure when I’ll see her again. “I have to work tomorrow, and then I’m on call for the next forty-eight hours. Are you sure you don’t need for me to attend to you now?”

Pressing a chaste kiss to my lips, Raine wiggles out of my hold and gets out of bed. “I do know I can’t expect you to drop everything to attend to me,” she giggles. “But feel free to crawl into my bed anytime you want.”

Even with Raine only here for two days and in my bed for one of them, I’ve already grown accustomed to her being here. “Are you going home after work?”

“I think it’s probably best. You have to get your sleep since you’re on call, and I was told by a very reputable doctor that I must get my sleep. Otherwise, I could backslide, and we can’t have that now, can we?”

“You probably shouldn’t listen to that doctor,” I grumble. Me and my big mouth.

Raine lets out a tinkling laugh as she picks up her clothes off the floor from last night. “I’ll see you soon. Don’t you need to work it out so you can go to Rio with me, or have you decided against going?”

She’s out of her mind if she thinks I’m going to let her go to Rio and sit around in bikinis while I’m stuck here.

Getting out of bed, I move to her and wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her back to my front, letting her feel how hard I am for her. “Oh, I’m going even if I have to quit my job to do it.”

Looking at me from over her shoulder, Raine smiles, brightening up my gloomy morning now that I know she’s leaving. “Don’t be so dramatic. What do you think will happen if you don’t go? I’ll find some other hot doctor and fall desperately in love with him?”

I growl and hold her tighter. “If you know what’s best for you, you’ll stop antagonizing me.”

“I’m sorry,” she laughs. “You’re too easy.”

Maybe with her. I’ve never been this way with another woman. Not even with my ex, who I was with for two years. Raine brings out a side of me that hasn’t existed for far too long.

Getting serious, I turn her until she’s facing me head-on. “Take it easy today and listen to your body. If you needanything,call or text me.”

Her face softens, and she places her hands on my cheeks. Her thumbs rub over my stubble. “I will. I promise. And if by chance you get time, call or text me tonight.” Leaning in, she slides her tongue along my bottom lip and then sucks it into her mouth before letting it go.

IfI get a chance? She’ll be lucky if I’m not at her door pounding to be let in.
