He grinned. “Even better. I’ll see you then.”
I couldn’t stop myself from biting my lip as he walked away. Lordy, his ass was tight enough to bounce a quarter off of.
“Put your tongue back in your mouth,” Lily teased, coming up behind me.
I squeaked, spinning to face her. “Where the hell did you come from?”
She chuckled. “I’ve been standing here for, like, anhour. You just didn’t notice because you were mooning over Harm.”
“I wasnotmooning.” I scoffed. “I don’t moon.”
Lily shrugged. “Hm-mm, sure.”
“Don’t you have babies to deliver?” I asked, sitting at the desk, and picking up an iPad.
“Nope, I’m off,” she said, sitting in the chair next to me. “Just waiting for Maverick to pick me up. I told him to come up here, so you and I could visit.”
She and I were the only ones currently at the desk, as the rest of the team were on rounds, checking on patients while I handled ‘paperwork.’
“So, how and when did you and Harm meet?” she asked.
“Here. Yesterday.”
“Oh, so he’s locked onto you. Better strap in, sister.”
I glanced at her. “Why?”
“Because when a Dog locks their jaws on you, they rarely let go.”
I sighed. “We have way too much of an age gap.”
“No, you don’t.”
“You don’t think so?”
“No way in hell,” Lily said. “You’re hot as, well, you know what, so I say go for it.”
Before I could argue, a gorgeous man who looked quite a bit like Clark Kent in motorcycle boots walked toward us.
“Well, here’s my ride,” Lily said, letting out a girlish sigh. “God, he does it for me.”
I smiled. “You did well.”
“I know.”
She jumped up and made a run for him, wrapping her arms around him. “Hi, Möosh.”
“Hey, baby.”
“Come and meet Bryn.” She tugged him over to me. “Bryn, this is Maverick. Mav, meet Bryn. Harm’s locked onto her.”
Maverick raised an eyebrow. “Ah, well, good luck with that.”
“Right?” Lily jumped up and down. “I’m so excited.”
“Don’t do that,” I begged. “It’s probably never going to work.”
Lily and Maverick looked at each other, then laughed.
