I was confident I would regret it, because I couldn’t imagine us having a future together. Hopefully, Brady would convince me otherwise.

The holiday party had been in full swing for a couple of hours and just as he’d said, Brady hadn’t left my side. He brought me plates of food and glasses of wine. When an opportunity presented itself, he stole kisses and caressed my body like he would die if he didn’t touch me.

My heart felt as if it might burst.

My pussy was in a constant state of tingling.

I wanted Brady Hayes desperately, and judging by the glint in his baby blues, he knew exactly how much he affected me.

“We’ll leave soon, baby.”

“Why?” I asked.

“So I can relieve the ache between your thighs,” he whispered, then put his arm around my waist. “When you’re ready, I’ll take you home.”

I leaned against him and touched his warm lips with the tip of my finger. “I live with my parents, remember?”

“Yes. We’ll stop at my house first.” He winked and moved in for a kiss.

“So, when did this happen?” Kelly pointed between us, rudely interrupting us. “Isn’t fraternizing against hospital policy? I mean, a nurse and a doctor must be breaking rules.”

I glared at her, not knowing how to reply. The wine made my head wonderfully fuzzy, but I didn’t want to embarrass me or Brady. A tipsy Mercy was a foolish, mouthy bitch. The sort of woman who would find herself in a cornfield, begging three bikers formercyon behalf of her brother.

The horrific memories churned my stomach. I sealed my lips to keep from vomiting onto the floor and reached for Brady’s hand, trusting that he would protect me as he’d vowed dozens of times. In my heart I knew he would, but my mind wouldn’t let me forget who he was—a member of the Knight’s Legion MC.

He gripped my ice-cold fingers firmly, as if sensing my distress. “You should review the policies, Nurse Jones,” Brady said in a gruff tone. “Mercy and I aren’t breaking any rules. Which you already know. After all, you have many of your own indiscretions with hospital staff and patients.”

She gaped and so did I. I didn’t know she’d been with anyone at the hospital. Kelly wasn’t the friendliest and I wouldn’t call her attractive. Judgmental,yes. Snobby,absolutely. Things were getting very interesting.

Suddenly, my demons had vanished.

“You’re mistaken, Doctor Hayes,” she replied tartly, and swept her gaze around the room.

Everyone’s attention was on Kelly. Hope and Levi appeared intrigued. Jonah, Piper, Silas, and their spouses were frozen at the dining table. The other guests had shamelessly turned toward us to have a front-row seat of the spectacle.

The only ones missing from the group were Micah and Destiny. They lived in Montana and couldn’t attend, but they’d be out for Christmas.

“Impossible. I’ve seen the security footage,” Brady replied confidently.

“What?” Kelly cried out in horror.

“Your methods of treating patients are how should I say…”

“Just stop!” Kelly stormed out of the living room.

“Way to bring the drama to my party,” Hope told Brady as she went after Kelly.

“Eh. She shouldn’t be a snot to others when she’s been far more scandalous with her oral remedies.”

Levi and his brothers broke out into laughter, while I stared at Brady as he gently led me down the hallway toward the guest bedroom. He opened the door, and I willingly went inside.

“She gives patients blowjobs?” I needed clarification out of wicked curiosity.

“Are you okay?”

“Does she? When did you see the videos because lately her patients have mostly been old men and women?”

He smirked. “She swings both ways. Now tell me. Are you okay?”
