I reach forward, taking his chin between my fingers, and I kiss the man. He’s stiff at first, but then he loosens. And I can feel his worries drift away with my touch.
I can help him relax...
“You always make me feel better,” he tells me. “I don’t know how you do it, but your presence is all I need.”
“Me too,” I reply. “All I need is you near me and everything else just fades away.”
“I’m happy you’re here,” August says.
“It’s my birthday today,” I whisper. “I wasn’t going to tell you, but it is.”
August blinks.
“It is?” he asks. “Why didn’t you tell me? Damn, I should’ve remembered from when we were teenagers.”
“I don’t like advertising it,” I reply. “I don’t like thinking about it. I don’t want to make it a big deal.”
“I could’ve got you something,” he mutters.
“This is more than enough, August. Being with you is more than enough.”
“Oh.”
“But there issomethingyou can give me,” I say quietly. “If youreallywant to make my day special.”
“Yes, and what is that?”
I kiss him again before I stand up on my toes and whisper into his ear.
“You can take me to bed, doctor.”

And he does take me to bed.
To his massive penthouse bedroom. I’ve never been in a room so goddamn enormous. Right in the heart of the room dominating the space is a massive bed adorned with silk sheets - it’s certainly the biggest bed I’ve ever freaking seen. I barely even register the walk-in for all his suits that is about the size of a high-end boutique store.
Once again, I am wowed by the sheer wealth of the Penmayne family.
“You sleep in here all on your own?” I ask him as he ushers me inside. “In this big room?”
“Yes.”
I spin around to wrap my arms around his neck.
“Well, tonight,” I whisper, “you won’t be sleepingalone.”
The doctor raises an eyebrow.
“I won’t?” he asks cheekily. “You’re sure?”
“You won’t,” I reply before I kiss him. “Not if I have any say in the matter.”
The man growls and picks me up effortlessly in one go. He takes me against the wall, pinning me as he kisses my neck. The wall is hard on my back, but I surrender to the doctor’s strong grip. He holds me tight, making sure I’m safely restrained while he devours me.
I moan as his lips brush my delicate skin as he kisses my neck.
