Page 30 of Possessive Doctor

“If you like it, we can make it a regular thing.”

I help her out of the car, and we walk hand in hand along the pier. The setting sun casts a golden shadow across the river and the seagulls break the beams of light as they bob for fish on the surface.

“It’s always so peaceful here. It’s like stepping into another world, or maybe back in time,” she says, looking like a kid in a candy shop.

“If you think this is something, you should try the ocean.”

“I went to Florida with my family and swam in the ocean, but that was a long time ago.”

“I was thinking more Caribbean.”

“Really? You want to take me to the Caribbean?”

“Sure. White sands, blue water, the freshest fruit on the planet. Why wouldn’t we go?”

“I’d love that.”

“You know what I’d love more?” I lower my voice and pull her closer to me.

“What?”

“Making you scream my name as I pound into you.”

“That sounds amazing, too.”

We arrive at the ship and take our place on the deck to wait for the launch. Amy hangs on my arm and breathes in the cool night air. She can’t stop smiling and seeing her like this makes something throb in the center of my chest.

She should always be this happy. I’ll make it my personal mission to do something every day to make her feel this way. I hope after tonight, she’ll know just how serious I am about that. I’m going to bind her to me…forever.

A waiter approaches with a tray of champagne glasses and I take two. I hand one to Amy who takes a sip and laughs when the bubbles tickle her nose.

“I must look like an idiot,” she shakes her head. “This is my first ever glass of champagne.”

“You’re still beautiful, though.”

“So, tell me more about the Caribbean. Did you go with a former lover?” she raises a brow and grins.

“You know you’re the only one, baby girl. You see, I’ve been to the Caribbean many times. So many times that I bought some property in Belize a few years ago. I thought it might be a good place for a single doctor to retire.”

“I had no idea you could buy property in the islands.”

“You can do whatever you want as long as you have the means, sweet girl.”

“Will you take me to your island property one day?”

“Of course. You don’t even need to ask. Anyway, that’s not just my property anymore. It’s ours.”

“And you weren’t going to tell me?”

“Oh, come on, princess. I know how much you like surprises.”

“Like this? I never expected this. Thank you for planning this dinner cruise for us.”

“Anything for you.”

We take our seats in the dining room and enjoy course after course of delicious dishes. After making a few faces, Amy even agrees to try one of the oysters with me.

“That’s not for me,” she gasps as she swallows it down.
