“Oh, no. I know I’m still on the hook, but I’m not in any hurry to bereleased.”
Brooke put her hands on his chest and leaned into him. “I’m glad to hearit.”
Awareness sprang between them as he cupped the back of her head and lowered his lips to hers. The teasing way he brushed his mouth over hers sent a tingle down her spine. Rising on her toes a little, she brought their lips in firmer contact. His other arm came around her waist and pulled her against him as he coaxed her lipsapart.
She granted him entry and was treated to the kind of kiss she’d never experienced before. His leisurely exploration of her mouth and the slow strokes of his tongue against hers made her wish that it wouldn’t end. However, too soon, he gradually ended thekiss.
Gazing into his heat-filled eyes, Brooke felt a little shaky. Realizing that she’d bunched her fingers in the lapels of his suit, she let the material slide from hergrasp.
She took a breath to clear her desire-fogged mind. “Well, Superman, that was some goodnightkiss.”
He chuckled and kissed her cheek. “For me, too.” He cleared his throat and stepped back. “Do-over?”
“Do-over,” she agreed. “And next time, we’re going todance.”
“Whatever you want,” he said. “Be careful at work. Call me when you can,okay?”
Brooke nodded. “Okay.”
She watched him get in his car and then rushed inside to change. The feel of Robert’s kiss stayed on Brooke’s lips as she changed and remained there until she arrived at the hospital. Once she entered the ER doors, she shook it off and jumped into the fray. But every so often, her mind strayed to the bespectacled hottie and she couldn’t wait for their do-overdate.
