"Oh my god!" Ardi squeaks and puts her head down.

"You bastard! This is why you've been coming back so much! I thought you were actually coming to check up on me." I yell at my friend, though I'm not really upset.

""I'm sorry. I'm sorry... shouldn't have." Ardi is apologizing profusely. She's mortified.

"Nic." Tripp snaps at me, and when I look at his face, I can tell that this isn't just a one-time thing. The man whore is serious.

"Don't Nic me. You better not hurt her, Tripp. If my best nurse quits because of you, I'm going to kick your ass."

Ardi's face pops up and she smiles.

"Ardi, You can do so much better." I offer, and she relaxes even more.

"Yeah, and you can get the hell out. What's a man gotta do to get some privacy." Tripp comes over and closes the door in my face.

"Just like college all over again." I shake my head and Nyla grabs my hand as we laugh and make our way down the hall to my room. She's actually having to keep me from stumbling.

I've never been this out of control and felt okay with it. She rushes in before me and when I walk in, she's settled in the center of my bed waiting for me with that sexy look on her face.

"Well, if it isn't a member of the bad billionaire bachelors club." I groan and shut the door behind me. I can't believe I'm on that site.

"Hmm." I grumble.

"You know" She continues, "I could leave a glowing review for you, but I think I need a little bit more testing of the product." She spreads her legs a little wider and hooks her finger, inviting me to come.

All the jokes and playing of the night vanish, and now all I want is this woman.

I strip out of my clothes and stalk toward her, she squeals when I grab her ankle and pull her to the edge of the bed.

"If I'm being tested, I think I'd like to give my oral presentation first." I smirk at her before I get to work untying her pants.

I always aim for a five-star review.

I didn't even thinkanything could feel this perfect.

So perfect, it's scary.

It's been a full week since my brothers and my father have left, and things have been better than ever for Nic and me. When we're at work, we keep things professional mostly, but every once in a while there's a soft touch or a long gaze.

He made the mistake of calling me babe while I was at the nurses station, and now everyone knows. The nurses couldn't be happier since they think we make a good team. When we're back at either his house or my RV, we can't keep our hands off each other. It honestly feels like nothing could go wrong, but I know from my previous experience in life in general that it's exactly then that life decides to throw curveballs.

This particular curveball came in the form of his mother.

Nic and I had just finished examining a scheduled patient when his mother comes walking in with a massive smile on her face.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Nic asks, obviously shocked to see her.

"Oh, Nicky, I have such wonderful news." She says and comes right up to him. "Come, let's go talk." She says.

It's not lost on me that she doesn't even bother to say hello to me, but I push it aside and put my hand out for her to shake anyway. "Hello, I'm Nyla."

She looks down her nose at me, "Yes, the temporary nurse. I've heard things about you." She shakes my hand like it's a wet noodle.

"Mother, she's more than just a temporary nurse." Nic says in my defense, but I pinch him. I don't want him to get into it with his mother. Not here.
