“Lucy—”

“Shut up,” I hissed. “Just shut up, okay? It’s going to be fine. Stop stressing me out.”

Thirty percent.

The sound of Dr. Grover leaving the patient room felt loud and I almost jumped right out of my skin. I popped up and made sure the chair was in exactly the same position as it was before, my hand hovering over the mouse where the record of my upload would go once it was done.

“Dr. Grover’s at the front desk with the patient,” Cas warned. “They’re scheduling his appointment and then you’re next.”

Twenty percent left.

Almost there.

Erin sent me a text then, warning me I better be done when the doctor got there or we’d both be fucked.

No shit, Sherlock.

I eyed the distance between the desk and the exam table and decided to just leave the record. I wouldn’t have time to delete anything so I’d just do it remotely. The only thing I could do was log out of her account with a key command so she didn’t get in trouble and pull out the flash drive.

Seven percent, six…

Just a few more seconds and I would pull this off.

“I’m not late am I?”

I froze when I heard Cas’s deep voice in my ear as well as down the hall.

“I’m sorry, who are you here to see?”

Shit.

The program finally fucking finished and I yanked out the flash drive, opening up the Command Prompt window to delete any traces of me plugging it in.

I could hear Cas speaking to the doctor, trying to explain to her I’d asked him to meet me here, but she was insisting she had to call security to drag him out if he didn’t leave because only bonded alphas were allowed in here.

Obviously, he was already aware of that if they used his security company.

I had no idea what he thought he was doing, but I was grateful for the extra time.

Ripping the flash drive out of the computer, I logged out of Erin’s account right as my phone rang.

It was the clinic.

I put Cas on hold and answered it as I jumped back on the exam table. “This is Lou.”

“I’m sorry to disturb you Ms. Lopez, but there’s an alpha here who insists he was supposed to meet you here for your appointment. We don’t have any paperwork on file for the alpha Cassius Valentine or your bond certificate though. We can’t just let him in.”

“I understand. Should I come out there and let him know?”

“Only if you’re comfortable, Ms. Lopez.”

“I’ll be right there.” I hung up on the doctor and opened the door, peeking my head out to see Cas waiting at the end of the hall.

“Babe, I’m sorry I’m late, but finding parking was a bitch. I’m here now, but they won’t let me back there.”

I came down the hall and wrapped my arms around his neck, squeezing him tight. “I’m sorry, I forgot to do the paperwork. I’ll make sure to do it next time.”

The doctor cleared her throat but I didn’t move. Not when every second he held me made it easier and easier to breathe. My heart rate started dropping down to normal and I took a deep breath before finally letting go.
