“Wow,” Max said, running a hand through his hair again and then returning his hands to his pockets. “I thought…I didn’t know…Look, Kylie, if you’re done with me, you could have just told me.”
I leaned my head back, an exasperated laugh leaving my throat. “Unbelievable,” I said, shaking my head.
Max’s expression suddenly turned angry for the first time. “Yeah, I agree. Unbelievable. I sure as hell should be sorry I thought you wanted to be with me. Damn. You’re just like all the others. I’m sorry. I’ll be going now. You and Lulu enjoy your run. I won’t bother you ladies again. Ever.”
He abruptly turned around and headed back for the door. I watched his retreating form, a sneer that I couldn’t control spreading over my face.
What an asshole.
“You got a lot of nerve, you know that?” I yelled. Startled, Lulu’s tail stopped wagging and she backed into a corner, watching vigilantly.
Max stopped and turned around. “How are you turning this on me?” he said. “I came over here just so see you again—”
“For what? To see me for one last time and have some wild ‘wham, bam, thank you, ma’am’ sex? What do you even care for? You sure didn’t care to tell me you were leaving!”
“What?”
“Oh, don’t play dumb with me! I already heard from the nurses on staff yesterday. I guess you already said goodbye to whoever is important enough in your life. I’m just an afterthought, right?”
He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Who told you that?”
“Why?”
“Because I want to know who around that damned hospital is spreading rumors.”
“No one is spreading rumors. It’s just you, keeping secrets. That’s why you returned to the night-shift, right? So that you wouldn’t even have to run into me anymore to give me an explanation. You were trying to make a clean getaway.”
“Kylie, if I was trying to make a clean getaway, why would I be over here right now?”
“I don’t know. To make sure I don’t spiral out of control like some unstable, clingy, lovesick tramp. That’s what you think of me, isn’t it?”
“No! And if you would be quiet for a minute, I could explain.”
I crossed my arms again and narrowed my eyes. “Go for it. I’m all ears, Dr. Lewis.”
Max sighed again and stepped forward. He reached out to me, but when I recoiled, he lowered his hand. “Whatever you’ve been told isn’t true,” he said. “I’m not leaving. I don’t know where that rumor even started. All I’ve done is return to the night shift. Every day since Raya was taken away, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her. I haven’t been able to stop reliving my own childhood and all the terrors that went along with it. It drives me half crazy, the thought of that little girl going through anything remotely similar to what I had to endure. I pray every day that she gets sent to a good family. That’s why I returned to the night shift. I wasn’t trying to avoid you. I just can’t handle seeing hurt kids. I can’t go through anything like that again.”
I shook my head. “So…you’re not leaving to go start your own private practice somewhere else? You’re just going back to the night shift?”
“Yes,” he said. “And you know what? Strangely enough, working the night shift doesn’t even feel right anymore. Do you know why? Because you aren’t there. I missed seeing you so much, and it’s only been a day. That’s why I’m here now. If I start working the night shift again, I’m not going to make it if I still can’t see you. So the only way to do that is outside of work. I was hoping you didn’t mind, especially because we get to dodge that stupid policy too. But it looks to me like none of that matters now. Fuck Kylie, why don’t you want to give us a decent try?”
“I do.” I looked down to the floor, embarrassed. “I feel like an idiot. I was just mad because I thought you were leaving without telling me. I was afraid of not seeing you again. I thought that you didn’t care about me like I care about you. I…I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions. I don’t even know what to say for myself right now.”
He leaned in and kissed me, replacing my anger with passion. “Say that you’ll let me take Lulu for a quick walk while you get in the shower, and still be in there when I get back.” He attached her leash to her collar and she looked at me with semi-sad eyes.
She needed her walk, and I needed to feel Max in my arms.
I smiled. “Deal.”
Max smiled back, the sight of it breathtaking.
CHAPTER 20
Kylie
I looked at myself in the mirror and turned around again, liking what I saw. I was wearing red lace lingerie that I was sure would drive Max crazy. I had a longline bra, its sheer fabric revealing more than it covered, and a thong with bows beneath a lace garter belt that was attached to stockings.
So what if I wasn’t in the shower? This was better.
I giggled and laid on my bed, counting the minutes until Max returned.
Soon, I heard the front door opening. My heart accelerated; I couldn’t wait to see his reaction.
I tried to calm my breathing as I listened to his footsteps.
“Kylie,” he called from the living room, “where are you?”
Lulu’s nails clicked on the floor.
I didn’t respond, holding my breath in anticipation. I wanted him to find me, all hot and ready for him, and I intended to put on a good show; he deserved it after the way I treated him. Stupid rumors.
“Kylie?” he called again, this time approaching my bedroom.
My heart beat even faster. It was show time.
He opened the door and stepped inside, halting mid-step when he saw me on the bed. His eyes widened and his lips parted, his whole body growing rigid.
Lulu poked her head through the door, but clearly knew something was up. She turned around and padded her way to the back of the apartment, likely to get in her doggy bed and take a nap.
I raised myself up and sat on my knees, bringing my hands to my breasts. I licked my lips, looking at him seductively.
His surprise was quickly replaced with arousal, and I could clearly see his erection through his gray scrubs.
“I can’t believe you,” he muttered and smirked as he approached me, not taking his eyes off me even once. “You’re really a naughty girl.”
I smiled and slid my hands over my stomach to my pussy. I brought them back, going slowly to my breasts, and found my hardened nipples. I was playing with them as I moved my hips in circles, drawing his attention to my lower body. “I’m your naughty girl.”
“You are so sexy.” Just as he was about to put his hands on me, already panting, I jumped up and moved backward, watching him slyly from above. “No, no. You don’t get to touch me that easily. Take off your clothes,” I ordered, taking a dominant role this time.
Max groaned and his eyes became almost black. He took his scrubs off—his eyes always fixed on me. My pussy throbbed when I saw his perfectly sculpted body; he was all muscles and sheer strength. His cock was huge and thick, and my hands itched to take it.
I was so lucky to have him.
“Lie down,” I ordered, stepping down to the floor and leaving some distance between us.
“Let me touch you...” he pleaded.
Was he begging? Now that was even hotter.
“Lie down and lean against the headboard,” I said.
He groaned and did as I said. My pussy throbbed again, seeing his dick twitching.
“Damn, Kylie,” he breathed, his chest rising and falling rapidly. “You’re going to kill me.”
“Now I wouldn’t want that. Not before we get some real action here,” I replied hoarsely and climbed on top of him, facing away, lowering myself down until my pussy came in contact with his cock.
“Kylie,” he growled. I grinded against him as I looked at him over my shoulder, watching him squirm and clench his jaw hard. “Damn, you gotta stop. You’ll make me cum.”
I giggled and raised myse
lf up. I slid my hands sensually over my body, touching my lower back, ass, and thighs before turning around and touching my front—lingering on my boobs and pussy.
I knelt this time and sat directly on his cock. I’d already been soaking wet.
“Kylie,” he growled, “stop torturing me. Fuck me.”
I grinned widely. “Not yet.” I leaned in and kissed him, pushing my tongue roughly against his. My hands were on his chest, moving around his nipples before they came in contact with them, and the moment they did, he flinched and moaned into my mouth. I lowered myself and placed my lips around one of them. I licked it, carefully watching his reaction. He was so horny that it just made me more aroused; I was already desperate to have him, but I wanted to play with him first.
I slid even further down his body and grabbed his cock with my hand. “How about I suck your cock before I let you inside of me?”
Without waiting for his answer, I shoved his cock deep into my mouth. “Kylie!” he growled. “Damn, that is...”
I moaned and sucked him hard, taking all of him inside.
“Keep doing that. Don’t stop,” he said.
Already tasting his precum, I moved my mouth around his tip to lick it off. “Mmm, you taste so good,” I purred, my eyes locked on his.
I pushed it back into my mouth and started my relentless rhythm as I brought him to his orgasm. “Kylie!” he cried, his whole body becoming extremely rigid as I felt the first spurt of his sperm deep in my mouth.
“Now I expect you to return the favor,” I said and raised myself up, pushing my thong to the side.
I stood directly above his head, grabbed it with my hands, and pressed my drenched pussy against his face.
“Yes...” he tried saying, but his words came out muffled. I moved my pussy up and down wildly, holding his head even tighter as the pleasure rose in me fast.
His five o’clock shadow made everything better, and the moment he darted his tongue out of his mouth and started licking me, I was already close to orgasming and soaking his face. “Oh Max, keep going.”
His mouth worked roughly on me, his teeth grazing my sensitive skin and his tongue hitting me punishingly. “That’s it, Max...” I moved frantically against his face, leaving my juices all over his mouth, nose, and chin. “I’m coming! Yes!”
I screamed as I fell apart, my juices gushing out. My whole body convulsed as my orgasm kept going. It lasted what seemed like forever—much longer than usual—and I couldn’t hold myself anymore. My hole was just begging to be filled.
“You have no idea how good you look when you come. And there is nothing more delicious than your pussy. I need to feel you. Take that cock deep inside of you. Now.”
This time I was more than happy to obey him. His dick was already completely hard again, and I was ready for a wild ride. I lowered myself and straddled his waist, grabbing his cock into my hand. I jerked it several times and then I took it all at once.
“Kylie, baby... You are so amazing.”
I smiled and brought my lips to him. I gave him a light kiss at first as I moved my hips slowly on him, still teasing him a little. Then I kissed him rough, matching the rhythm of my body moving on his.
I broke our heated kiss and placed my hands against his chest to support myself, rocking violently against him. I rode him hard and fast, his huge cock filling me so deep that I felt like he was going to rip through me. The intensity of my pleasure was unbelievably high, and I didn’t care if I was too aggressive or fast. I only cared about the maddening sensations making me crazy. I wanted more, and as he began moving his hips to meet me, I was sure this was the most intense sex of my life.
We came at the same time—both hard and long—and our juices mixed together, filling me with slick, warm wetness.
As soon as my orgasm passed, my body felt exhausted and I slumped against his chest. Our erratic breathing matched, and we needed several moments before we could recover.
“You are so amazing,” he muttered. “This was exactly what I needed after a really long night.”
“Well, you are working the night shift again. Jesus, when am I going to see you?” With me working days and him nights, our time was limited. I was glad we were making the best of it while we could.
He smirked, his eyes gleaming slyly. “We’ll make it work. We’ll have the twilight hours I guess.” His arms encircled me, bringing me back against him.
“I guess we do.”
“And I’m not going anywhere, Kylie. Not leaving the hospital, and not even out of your bed. Not until you tell me to.”
I sighed, inhaling his scent, thinking how that would never happen.
EPILOGUE
Max
I rolled onto my side in bed, exhausted, but happily so, especially since Kylie was sleeping beside me. The room was dark, and evening had set in, but her face was visible from the dim light seeping through the cracked window beside the bed.
She was so beautiful, I could hardly believe my luck.
Spending a whole day with her had been magical. We’d fixed dinner together, fed Lulu, watched a movie, and then eagerly returned to bedroom, unable to get enough of each other.
But now, it was time to face reality. I had to get back to work.
The night shift.
Funny how one woman could suddenly make my preferred working hours seem like a curse. I wanted nothing more than to stay with her for the rest of the night, but there were patients who needed me.
Sighing, I quietly got out of bed, not wanting to disturb Kylie. She was sleeping so peacefully. Besides, after the way I’d worn her out, she probably needed the rest.
I smirked as I made my way to the kitchen to turn on the coffee maker.
Lulu’s nailed clicked on the floor as she emerged from the back of the apartment. Her tail wagging.
“Hey there, girl,” I said, reaching down to pat her head. I looked up to the top of the refrigerator where Kyle kept a box of dog biscuits and gave one to Lulu, who happily chomped on it before returning to her bed to play with a chew toy.
As the coffee began to brew, I headed to the bathroom to turn on the shower.
I halted, hearing a buzzing sound from the living room. Lulu gave a soft bark, hearing the sound too.
I realized it was my phone.
Retrieving it from the living room table, I glanced down, surprised to see Zane’s name flashing across the screen. We’d been brothers in the military, but when I went into medicine and he went back to the desert, we’d lost touch.
For him to call? This wasn’t good.
“Hello?” I said, but only heard breathing on the other end. “Hello? Zane?”
“Max,” he choked out, confirming that it was him.
My heart sunk to my stomach. “What’s wrong?” I asked, automatically knowing something terrible had happened based on his tone. But when he spoke, I couldn’t make out a word he said. “Zane, slow down. Breathe. Now, what did you just say?”
“I’m coming home.”
“What?” Clearly, I had missed something integral during his mumbled rampage. I didn’t think there was anything that would make Zane come home…
My posture stiffened. The coffee pot began to steam, the aroma drifting through the air. From within the bedroom, I heard Kylie beginning to stir awake. Lulu had gotten out of her bed again, trotting through the apartment to greet Kylie.
But none of that was relevant right now.
“Zane… What happened?” I asked slowly.
“He’s dead,” he croaked.
Shit.
