Page 17 of Doctor’s Surprise Twins

Axe to the fucking chest. I kept my facial expression calm, but I really wanted to confess that we were doing things he would not approve of and that we were adults who could make our own decisions. But there was still a tiny part of me that was nervous about that confession.

“Yeah, and what did she say?”

“She ignored me, walked away. Later, she just left without telling me.” Curt pulled back on the reins, slowing the horse and bringing it to a stop just outside the corral entrance. I eased the mare to a stop too, dismounting before she was fully halted.

“Well, just talk to her,” I told him, leading the mare toward the barn. We didn’t talk much after that. We tied the horses off at their stall doors so they could be brushed and removed their saddles and blankets.

Curt slunk around like a wounded puppy. I knew he and Maggie were close, so I could see why he’d be upset, especially if he’d invited her for dinner and she’d stood him up to be with me. The last thing I wanted to do was to get between them, but Maggie was so damn tempting I couldn’t say no to her, and here I was playing stupid when Curt was upset.

“Why don’t you head home to get ready for dinner? Maybe she will surprise you and show up anyway. I can brush these ladies out.” I took the brush from his hand which he had collected from somewhere. He shook his head.

“She’s not coming, but whatever. Thanks for the ride. I appreciate the time to talk. Let me know if you do talk to her. I didn’t mean to piss her off or anything. I just made my position clear. I thought we were past this. You know? We’re adults now.”

“Yeah, sure.” I waved at him as he retreated from the barn. The fact that we were adults and she still had this same damn crush on me must have told him something. I walked to the barn door and watched as he pulled out, his truck kicking up a dirt cloud. Maybe it was a good thing that he’d had this inkling that Maggie could still have feelings for me. It might make breaking it to him easier if this actually developed into something.

I busied myself with brushing the mares and lost track of time. By the time I had the second mare cleaned and in her stall with fresh water and feed for both of them, I looked up and saw Maggie standing in the door to the barn, smiling at me.

She was radiant, dressed in a dark green sweater and jeans. Her boots rose to the knee, and the scarf around her neck framed her round face, bringing out the color in her eyes. I could stand there and stare at her all day, drinking in her beauty, but it was getting chilly as the early June evening drew on.

“Your brother is worried about you.” I shut the clasp on the mare’s stall door and dusted my hands on my pants, then gestured for Maggie to follow me.

“Yeah? What about?”

I led her to the tack room where I washed and dried my hands. She hovered in the doorway, gazing at all the saddles and harnesses hanging around the messy room.

“He thinks you’re pissed at him because he told you I was off limits.” I tossed the towel into the sink and stalked toward her.

“Well, he’ll get over it. I wondered why he was here. He’s supposed to be having dinner with Dad tonight.” As I approached, she wrapped her arms around my neck. “I told them I had other plans.”

It felt comfortable wrapping an arm around her waist and leaning down to kiss her, despite our having a mostly sex relationship at this point. Lunch always felt too “office professional” to be considered dating, and we hadn’t spent any time outside the office together other than at Curt’s party. I wasn’t even sure what we were doing. What I had thought was just a one-time thing turned into more than once. What I did know was now that I was certain Curt was gone, I wanted Maggie.

“What were those plans?” I walked forward, forcing her to back up until she was firmly pressed against a stall door.

“Dinner, I thought. Unless you want to skip to dessert.” She pulled me down for a kiss, and I couldn’t help myself. Her lips tasted like fresh strawberries. Her tongue was soft as it slid across mine. I grabbed a handful of her ass, squeezing it firmly as I ground against her. When she came up for air she said, “Dessert first, then...”

“I can’t seem to get enough of you.” I felt one of her hands tangle in my hair while the other slid down my chest to my waistband. “You want this here? In the barn?”

Maggie nodded, then pulled me down farther. She bit my earlobe before whispering, “Fuck me like an animal, Derek.”

Chills went down the back of my neck, causing the hair on my arms to stand up. Something visceral stirred in my groin, an untapped desire being coaxed to life. I leaned in harder, nipping the top of her shoulder as I pulled her leg up around my hips. My cock hardened as I ground against her again, pinching her hand between our bodies.

“Like an animal, huh?” The primal urge to bend her over a bale of hay and fuck her right there unhinged, and I pulled her shirt off over her head. She laughed as she unbuckled my pants and loosed me, taking my dick in her hand and stroking it.

“How would you like me, Boss?”

CHAPTERTWELVE

Maggie

Derek orderedme to take the striped numnah off the stall door and drape it over the bales of hay stacked along the barn wall. I was thankful for the warmth of the June evening as my shirt dangled from Derek’s finger and I was certain my pants would be next. I situated the sheepskin over the hay, then leaned back against it.

“You like when I order you around?” Derek stalked toward me, hanging my shirt on a hook next to some bridles. The mess of tangled reins looked intriguing, and he caught me eyeing them. “Don’t worry. I won’t use the crop on you, but the reins might come in handy if you don’t do as you’re told.” His smirk was priceless.

“Is there a rule about being quiet here?” I asked him.

Derek shrugged out of his shirt, tossing it on the hay, then pulled his jeans down a bit lower in front, stroking himself. I waited for his answer as I slowly undid my pants. His eyes feasted on my partially bare body, drinking me in.

“You can be as loud as you want here. Just show me your tits.”
