Page 64 of Under His Guard

I stand up, going to the bathroom to get showered for my next shift at the hospital.

As I strip, I meet my eyes in the mirror. For the first time ever, my gaze travels down my body, actually considering it as something sensual.

Warmth builds behind my cheeks as I remember how Luke talked about my nipples, how obsessed with them he seemed.

I’m not a well-endowed woman. Hell, I’m not an endowed woman. My body type is more on the sporty side, and I’ve always liked it that way.

I have zero interest in fashion or makeup. I’m not a girly girl in the slightest.

I’ve never thought that was bad. It’s just not me.

And none of that turned Luke off or turned him away.

“Huh.”

As I step into the warm shower and wash up, I think about everything Luke and I have to discuss.

Complicated. Just what I didn’t want.

Still, I can’t deny, no matter how hard I might try, what Luke did was spectacular. I loved every damn minute.

I finish up, going to the closet to pull out some new scrubs, and today, I actually choose one of my nicer underwear sets.

Just in case.

When I pad out to the kitchen to get some coffee and slip on my sneakers, I see Luke at the Keurig fixing two travel mugs.

I smile, just watching him for a moment, and then he turns around, startling me out of my musing.

“Hey, doc.”

His grin is sinful, already trying to seduce me, and it’s only 6:50 a.m.

“Morning.” I just shake my head with an easy smile. “Is one of those for me?”

“Indeed, it is.” Luke screws on the lid to one of the cups, sliding it over to me. “I don’t know about you, but relocating from the couch totally woke me up, and I couldn’t get back to bed.”

I laugh. “Nope. That’s on you. I slept great.”

He comes around the counter, wrapping his arms around my waist.

As much as the logical part of my brain is saying hey, don’t take what happened too seriously, I absolutely let him pull me against him.

He just feels so good there.

“Probably because you orgasmed hard enough you might as well have run a marathon.”

“Luke!”

“What?”

His eyes flare wide in playful offense, and then he kisses me. I’m lost to the feeling of his lips on mine, and that serious debate gets even more muddied.

When we separate, I’m not sure if it’s been hours or just a few seconds. But I am sure I need to go, so I smile, my cheeks heated, and start for the door.

“I’ll see you later. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” He winks.

With a laugh, I pull on my shoes, snagging my keys and jacket.
