“We wanted to talk about a few things with the doc, too,” Jaeger said, grinning. “Unless you spoiled the surprise before we could get here…”

Looking from Ty, to Jenny, to Grace, I could see the full range of emotions. Ty looked surprised and maybe a little irritated as he glanced over at Jaeger. Jenny and Grace both looked confused, but there was more to Grace’s expression than that.

Her eyes kept darting over to Ty, and I could see that the delicious pink color in her cheeks had only grown more prominent in the past few seconds.

Jaeger and I were clearly going to have to step up our flirting game.

“I didn’t spoil anything,” I said, finally. “We were talking about more important things, anyway.”

“I don’t know what anyone is talking about,” Jenny said, looking over to Grace. “Do you?”

“Not a clue,” she said, the beginnings of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. “But this day keeps getting more and more interesting, that’s for sure.”

Ty, Jaeger, and I exchanged knowing looks. I couldn’t help but grin just thinking about the little surprise we had planned for Grace and the clinic.

“Maybe we could all go inside and talk for a few minutes,” Jaeger offered, turning his attention back to Grace. “Unless this is a bad time? We can always come back later if you’d like.”

“But we don’t want to keep you in suspense all afternoon,” I added, tossing her a wink.

The truth was that I couldn’t wait to see the look on her face when we told her. It was going to be great.

It was going to be beautiful.

“This is a good time,” Jenny said, before Grace could speak. “No appointments for another hour, at least.”

Grace shrugged, then smiled. “If Jenny says it’s a good time, that’s good enough for me.” She took a step toward the clinic door and motioned for us to follow. “And yeah, there’s no way I’d let you guys keep me in suspense for the rest of the day. Let’s go talk.”

“Perfect,” Jaeger said.

“I think you’re gonna like what we have to say,” Ty added.

I followed along, too mesmerized by the view of Grace walking away to pay any attention to those jokers. Even in that doctor’s jacket, she was hot as hell. That little hint of color in her cheeks had only accentuated the beauty that was already there, and it was all too easy for me to imagine the body that she kept hidden under all those clothes.

Swallowing hard, I tried to clear my head. I couldn’t be picturing her naked right now—not while we still had to carry on a conversation. Truth be told, I wanted to enjoy every moment of talking to her, too.

Because as hot as she was—and she was fucking hot—I honestly enjoyed just being around her. If I had another chance to get one of those sweet little smiles from her, I wasn’t going to pass it up.

And if this conversation went the way I hoped, she’d be smiling again very soon.

Chapter 6 - Grace

I had no idea what to expect when the guys hinted at a surprise. A surprise was probably a good thing, though… right?

From the way they were all trying—and failing—to hide their smiles, and from the not-so-discreet glances they were exchanging, it had to be something good.

But what?

Was it something to do with Rambo? We had all been paying a lot of attention to him, so it was unlikely that anything had changed too drastically with his injuries—though I would have certainly been thrilled with that kind of surprise.

I could barely wait until we had all gone back to my office—a tight squeeze for the three brawny men, Jenny, and myself—before asking for more details.

“Okay,” I said, turning to face them once we were all inside the office. “What’s the big secret?”

I pulled out my chair to sit down but couldn’t. The way they were all looking at me made me feel anxious, or nervous, or something… but in a good way. It was like my stomach—no, my whole body—filled with butterflies, and like every single one of those butterflies were doing backflips.

“You sure you want to know?” Jaeger asked, a wide grin spreading across his face. “I mean, if you’re busy or something—”

“No, I’m definitely not too busy for this,” I said, interrupting his teasing. “You guys…”
