“Yes,” Sophie replied.

“Can you point to where it hurts and describe the pain?”

Sophie pointed to the area around the cut and bump, and Lexi examined the wound. It would need a few stitches, definitely something she could handle. As she worked, she noticed Catherine’s eyes never left her hands. Lexi couldn’t be one hundred percent sure, but she guessed Catherine was thinking about what those hands had done to her the night before.

After giving Sophie a small painkiller injection, Lexi cleaned the wound and began suturing it. “You’ll be good as new before you know it,” she said as she finished up. “Come back if youhave any headaches, dizziness, or if the pain gets worse, but otherwise, you’re good to go. A bit of rest and you’ll be fine. Do you still think she needs an abdominal scan, Dr. Spencer?”

Catherine hesitated, then asked Sophie how she was feeling. Sophie said she was feeling much better, so they both agreed it wasn’t necessary.

“Try not to fall off more horses anytime soon,” Lexi said with a smile. “And please, wear a helmet next time.”

As they left Sophie’s cubicle, Catherine glanced at Lexi, her voice almost playful as she said, “Where are you headed?”

“Back up to surgery,” Lexi replied, her heart starting to beat faster. “How about you?”

“Me too, but I don’t have a surgery scheduled for another hour.” They walked together down the corridor, and Catherine paused by a door to the left, glancing around to make sure no one was nearby. Lexi looked at the name printed on the door:On-Call Room.

Catherine leaned back against the door, her golden eyes warm and inviting. Lexi hesitated. She was only human, and she couldn’t resist. She pushed Catherine gently, opening the door. As they slipped inside, Catherine moved backward until she sat on the bed.

One more time couldn’t hurt, right?Lexi thought.

They didn’t speak, but Catherine’s hands went to the waistband of Lexi’s scrub pants. Lexi caught her hands, stopping her. This wasn’t how it was going to go. Not this time.

“No,” Lexi said, softly but firmly. She gently pulled Catherine’s hands away from her waistband.

“Please, I really want to,” Catherine said, her voice breathy.

“Not today,” Lexi replied, her tone final. She stepped back and locked the door. Then, turning back, she reached for the waistband of Catherine’s skirt, unfastening it and easing it downover her hips. Catherine moved gracefully, slipping out of her heels, leaving her standing in her hold-ups and lace panties.

Fucking hell, Lexi thought,she’s so beautiful.

Lexi pulled the panties down too, and they fell to the floor between Catherine’s legs. She pushed Catherine’s thighs apart with her hands.

“Please,” Catherine gasped, her head tipping back in anticipation.

Lexi’s mouth found her without hesitation, devouring her with an intensity she’d barely contained until now. She licked, sucked, and kissed, overwhelmed by Catherine’s taste. Catherine’s moans grew louder as her breath came in short, desperate pants, her hand tangling into Lexi’s hair and pulling her in tighter.

Lexi’s tongue moved hungrily, exploring every part of her, from her opening to her clit, flicking and sucking. Catherine’s legs spread wider, giving Lexi full access. Lexi’s fingers teased at her entrance, feeling how wet Catherine was. It was overwhelming—the heat, the slickness, the raw desire in every one of Catherine’s moans.

Lexi slid her fingers inside her, feeling Catherine’s body open up for her. Catherine moaned louder as she pushed her hips against Lexi’s hand, desperate for more.

Lexi added another finger, curling them up against Catherine’s G-spot, her tongue still working relentlessly on her clit. Catherine was on the edge, her breaths coming faster, her body trembling as she neared climax.

“Oh my God…oh my fucking God, I’m going to come,” Catherine gasped, her voice strained with need.

Lexi worked faster, her fingers thrusting deep as her tongue swirled in tight, practiced circles over Catherine’s clit. She could feel Catherine’s body tightening around her fingers, the telltale signs of an orgasm building.

“Come for me, baby,” Lexi whispered, her breath hot against Catherine’s skin before she dove back in, sucking her clit into her mouth. The sound of Catherine’s moans filled the room as she reached the peak of her pleasure, her body stiffening and her legs trembling as the orgasm hit.

“Yes, yes, yes…” Catherine’s voice was a barely controlled whisper, but her body said everything Lexi needed to know. Catherine came hard, her entire body shaking as the orgasm tore through her, leaving her gasping. Her hands gripped Lexi’s hair tightly, pulling her closer as she rode the wave of pleasure.

Lexi kept her fingers inside Catherine, gently easing her through the aftershocks, licking every inch of her as her body gradually calmed. She smiled to herself, satisfied as Catherine’s body relaxed, her breath slowing and her legs still slightly trembling.

Catherine collapsed back onto the bed, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. Lexi pulled away slowly, her lips still tingling from the intensity of it all. She looked up at Catherine, at her closed eyes and flushed face.

For a moment, the room was still. The only sound was the faint hum of the air conditioning. Catherine’s legs were still parted, her body spent, her beautiful hair tousled and clinging to her damp skin. Lexi couldn’t tear her eyes away from her. She wanted to kiss her again, wanted to touch her all over, but she knew they had to stop. They’d already gone too far.

Catherine opened her eyes slowly, blinking up at the ceiling. “That was…incredible,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.
