“Yeah. Why does that surprise you?”
I shrugged. “Because you’re so calm, cool, and collected. Not to mention, the fact, you’ve probably slept with more than just one person.”
“Cards out on the table?”
I nodded.
“I’ve only ever loved one person, and that was Stella. But we were kids. Never met anyone I even entertained having more than something to let off steam with.” He stroked my cheek. “Until you strutted your sweet ass up to me and asked if I wanted to move to a more comfortable spot in the waiting area.”
I gasped. “Really?”
“Really,” he said. “So, yeah, I’ve fucked a few women in my time, but no one for a couple of months, and I’m not plannin’ on fuckin’ anyone again unless you decide you’re done with me, so if you get out of your own way, then I know this could work.”
“Ihave to get out ofmyown way?”
“You want me to strum your nugget?”
“Lordy, yes, I do,” I breathed out.
“Then, yeah, you need to get the fuck outta the way.”
I wrinkled my nose. “If you weren’t so freaking sexy, I’d call you rude.”
He grinned. “It’s a good thing we’re on the same page, then.”
“I just went on the pill, though.”
“I brought rubbers, Bryn.”
“Oh,” I squeaked. “Cocky.”
He laughed. “Hopeful.”
“I would like very much to get out of my head and try this,” I said.
“Then, lead the way, beautiful.”
I grabbed his hand and led him upstairs to my bedroom. My heart was beating so fast, I was sure he could hear it. Once inside, I closed the door and leaned against it.
“I do feel a little guilty,” I admitted.
“Why?”
“Being in the medical profession, I’m about to break the hypocritic oath.”
He cocked his head. “What?”
“I’m about todoHarm.”
He burst out laughing, pulling me against him and kissing me. “Jesus Christ, woman, you are funny as shit.”
I smiled, running my fingers over one of the patches on his vest, suddenly shy. “Now what?”
He chuckled. “Just relax, Bryn, this isn’t an execution.”
“My vagina may think otherwise.”
“Why don’t you start?” he suggested. “I’ll take care of my cut and boots, then you do the rest.”
