I gesture for him to follow me.He waves goodbye to Chloe, one of the hospital’s worst chatterboxes.By the time I’m back from my break, everyone — including the staff on the fourth floor — will know someone came looking for me.
“She looked surprised I’d come for you.
“Of course she did,” I say, feeding coins into the dispenser.
“What do you mean?”
“Who else would you expect to come for me?”
I hand him a cup, then buy one for myself.
“I still don’t get it.”
“Ah, forget it.”
I jerk my head towards the door, nodding for him to follow me out to the fire escape.
“Are you trying to keep me hidden from everyone?”he asks once we’re outside.
“I’m trying to stop you from becoming the hospital’s newest erotic fantasy.”
He steps closer.“Are you jealous, Doctor?”
“More and more arsehole.”
“Do you want to keep me all to yourself?”
“I’d rather not share my fantasies with colleagues, thanks.”
He takes the coffee from my hands, sets it on the step beside his, and catches the edges of my coat, tugging me towards him.
“I hadn’t seen you in the white coat yet.”His voice shivers through my bones, his breath warm on my lips.“You might be one of my fantasies now.”
“I doubt it.”
“If you want, I’ll show you,” he says, voice low and filthy as he presses his body against mine.
“Now I’ve got a very clear idea.Thanks for the clarification.”
“Anytime.”He smiles, then gently presses his mouth to mine.“Fuck, I’ve really wanted to see you, and now that I finally have…” He sighs, kisses me again, then slowly lets me go.“It’s still not enough.”
“I’m working late.I’m sorry.”
“I can wait.”
“I’ve no clue what time I’ll finish, and I don’t want you sitting in the waiting room on your own like an idiot.”
“Do you worry about me?”
“Fuck off.”
“I could wait at your place,” he says hesitantly.“If that’s okay with you.”
“Really?”
He shrugs like it’s nothing, even though the embarrassment is written all over him.
“Come here.”I grab him by the shirt and drag him closer.“I’d really like to find you at home when I get back.”I reach into my pocket, pull out my keys, and press them into his hand.
