Page 43 of Falling for You

“Remind me never to buy Hudson a jungle gym,” I say to Kelly as I walk up to the nurse’s desk that she’s taken over, and she chuckles.

“Boys need jungle gyms, Pen. Otherwise, they’ll drive you insane,” Doctor James says as he walks over, and I scrunch my nose up and shake my head.

“I just had to watch Dr. Cannon stitch up a four-year-olds forehead, my son is not having a jungle gym.”

He laughs and nudges me, and I chuckle as I hand the forms to Kelly, who is busy eyeing up the doctor. I can’t help but grin.

Apparently, they had a little thing in the storage closet when I was on maternity leave, and she wants more, but Doctor James doesn’t.

He apparently has slept with five nurses since and hasn’t looked back.

“Hope we’re not interrupting…” A deep voice says from beside us, and I turn, instantly recognizing it.

My whole body lights up, and the memory of his fingers deep inside me hits me and I know I’m blushing; I just know it.

Every time I look at him, I remember the orgasm he gave me before he went and jacked himself off in the shower. He then plated up our curry and acted like it didn’t happen, all while I wanted to jump his bones.

Damn man, knows exactly what he was doing to me.

He knows I’m headstrong and that I’ve basically looked after myself for years, so how else to get through to me than playingwith my body? Then walking around my condo in nothing but sweatpants while holding our son, making my ovaries scream at me to mate him again.

“Oh my, it’s Taylor Evans,” Kelly whispers, and l turn to see her looking at him with lust as she fluffs up her hair. I turn back to Taylor, tense, making him smirk my way.

Jackass.

Doctor James says, “Have you been sent here through ER?” I look at him and see him fumbling through paperwork and smirk.

Guess the doctor is a hockey fan, huh?

“Uh, no,” Taylor answers as Hudson squeals, and I look to see my boy squeezing his fists my way, and my breasts begin to ache again.

Guess it’s feeding time.

“He’s here to see me,” I answer Doctor James and walk over to my boys; I uh, I mean – crap…

Shaking my head, I take Hudson, whose hands go straight to my top, making me chuckle, and I turn to my charge nurse and lead doctor, whose mouths are both open wide in shock.

Taylor wraps his arm around my waist possessively, causing Doctor James' eyes to go there as well, and I look at the man slowly invading every aspect of my life to see him glaring.

“Huh, good to know,” I mumble, making him look at me as I repeat his words from that day in the café, and he grins wide, not ashamed to be caught claiming me.

I roll my eyes, look back at Kelly and the doctor, and say, “Doctor James, Kelly, this Taylor, Hudson’s father, and this little boy is my baby, Hudson.”

Kelly’s mouth opens and closes while Doctor James clears his throat and says, “It’s uh, nice to meet you,” then looks at me and asks, “I’m guessing instead of expressing like you were arranged to do, you’d rather just feed him?”

I nod and say, “If that’s okay?”

He nods, looks at Taylor, then back at me, and says, “Only if I can get an autograph. " I laugh and look at Taylor, who shakes his head with a smile.

He kisses my head, melting my heart, and takes the pen off Doctor James while Huddy mumbles, and pulls at my top.

Shaking my head, I say, “I’ll leave you to it,” And walk to the unoccupied room across from us, knowing Taylor will most likely follow. My heart eases having Hudson back in my arms.

Today is my first day back at work, and even though on the outside I’ve stayed strong, on the inside, I’m falling apart and feeling nothing but guilt over leaving Hudson. I need the money to keep a roof over his head, so I feel conflicted, and my emotions are all over the place.

I don’t know how other mothers do it; I really don’t.

My eyes tear up as Hudson starts to get cranky. He’s hungry and most likely picking up my emotions, so I quickly sit, pull up my top, and unclip my bra before I get him situated.
