“Damn it. Here I was thinking only I could make you light up like that.”

“You do, but this isn’t everyday news.”

His brows pull together.

“Bentley gave me the full-time accounting position.”

“Congratulations, baby. You know I hate the guy and want you to work with me, but I gave the company to Harvey.”

“No, things happen for a reason. This was supposed to happen and so is your step down.”

He grumbles.

“What?” I ask.

“I think I might buy another hospital.”

I smile. “Yeah. What made you decide that?”

“This one is close to my heart,” he murmurs across my lips as his lips touch mine.

“Oh really?”

“Mmm. It involves more ICU beds and trauma wards.”

I part my lips, but he swallows my breath, and of course, kisses me so my brain can no longer think. All it can do is follow his direction. My hands skim over his broad shoulders, up to his neck, and into his hair.

When he finally finishes kissing me, he speaks. “Every time I think of that time, I get so damn emotional, and I just have to have you. Remind myself that you’re really here.”

“I’m really here.”

He kisses me hungrily. I swipe my tongue in his mouth. Enjoying the way he kisses me back.

“What are you doing?” I ask when I take a breath. Seeing everyone around on the sidewalk. I peek out the corner of my eyes, watching people stare or shake their heads as they pass.

“What do you mean?”

“You’re getting attention.”

“I don’t care about anyone else,” he says.

“I do.”

“Why?”

“I’m jealous of others looking at you. You’re wearing a suit that looks like a second skin. You’re hot and you know it. Then you flash me a sexy smile after sexting me all day.”

“You don’t like our texts?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“I just find it hard…to concentrate.”

“Okay, what if I promise to keep it PG during office hours.”

He runs his nose across the pulse on my neck.

“Yeah,” I reply, shakily.
