I gave him a soft smile then went to sit next to him. “You okay?”

He licked his lips then laid those soft muthafuckas on mine. I almost got caught up. When I realized I was kissing him back, I quickly pulled away.

“I’m sorry. I know you have a man and shit, but my mind is every-fucking-where. I had a feeling kissing you would calm me a bit.”

I swallowed hard and frowned slightly. Closing my eyes, I grabbed his hand. “Were you able to save the patient?”

“Yeah. They gave her the wrong meds. It didn’t gel with what she was already taking. I had to give her medicine to combat the effects. Thank you for moving so quickly. The nurse that pushed you out of the way gon’ get dealt with. I already have a rep of being rude, so I will gladly handle that on your behalf. I won’t get fired . . . you could, if the confrontation took an ugly turn.”

I gave him a tight smile as I caressed his hand. Closing my eyes again, I asked, “What time do you get off?”

“Midnight, since I came in an hour early.”

“Umm . . . I have a room at the hotel down the street. If you wanna stay with me tonight, you can. I mean, so you’ll be close to the hospital.”

He frowned as he stared at me. “If you feeling sorry for me, don’t worry about it. I don’t know what all my dad told you, but I’m not feeling weak or overwhelmed. I just do what I have to do to make sure he’s taken care of.”

“I’m attracted to you. Yes, I do have a man, but he’s cheating on me.”

“Oh, so you on some get back shit?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know what I’m doing. That’s why I have a hotel room. We live together, and I overheard him having phone sex with someone else. I’m just . . . I’m vulnerable right now and don’t give a fuck. I’m pretty certain I’m gonna leave him, but I don’t know. Never mind I said anything.”

I stood from the couch, and he grabbed my hand. “Which hotel and what’s the room number? I’ll come.”

My entire body heated up, and I could see the goosebumps on my skin. “The Marriott, room five-sixteen.”

Glover kissed my hand, then pulled me back to the couch. As he stared into my eyes, a chill slithered up my spine. I needed to get away from him before I straddled him right now. My pussy was about to bite a fucking hole in these scrubs and just go for what she knew. I slowly shook my head at the thought.

“I know you offered that shit because of my reputation around here, but honestly, I feel like there’s something more between us. I’ll follow your lead though. Maybe it’s a good thing I have a bad rep, or you wouldn’t be offering me this gourmet meal.”

I slightly rolled my eyes as a smile played at my lips. “How do you know it’s a gourmet meal? It could be a frozen dinner. Maybe that was why he saw the need to cheat.”

“Hell naw,” he said as he slid his hand up my inner thigh to my crotch. He leaned in close to my ear and licked it. “That shit hot as fuck. I can tell it’s fire by the way you walk. I have a feeling it’s gon’ grab ahold of me and not let the fuck go.”

My eyes fluttered shut and a soft moan left my lips.

“Don’t let what that fuck nigga did diminish your confidence. What he did ain’t got shit to do with you. It’s all about his inability to appreciate you for the woman you are. As his woman, he should have cherished every moment with you. While you aren’t mine, I promise I will cherish every minute we share tonight.”
