“When you weren’t home, I drove to his house on a hunch. Your car was in the driveway.”
“Hannah Hull, were you spying on me?”
She blinks innocently. “I wouldn’t call it spying. It’s more like looking out for you.”
“Well, you don’t have to look out for me. I’m a big girl now.”
“Will you at least tell me how it happened? But, please, leave out the sexual details because he’s one of my best friends, and I really don’t need to hear about how horrible he is in bed or how little his dick is.”
“Oh, trust me, he’s not horrible. In fact, he’s amazing. And his dick is—”
“Nope,” she hollers, shaking her head vehemently. “TMI. Let’s stick to the very basic details.”
“Fine. Remember at your wedding reception when you were telling me I need to take more chances?” Hannah nods. “And then do you remember Grace telling me I should start by having a one-night stand with a stranger? Well, I had a one-night stand, and Drake was the stranger.”
“You’re telling me you and Drake have been canoodling since my wedding reception and you’ve kept it from me this whole time?”
“Canoodling, Hannah? What are we, seventy?”
“You know what I mean.”
“No, we haven’t been canoodling. It really was just a one-night stand until I moved here.”
“Now what?” she asks. “Are you two dating? What’s going to happen when you leave?”
I shrug. “I don’t know if we’re dating. I think we might be. We haven’t exactly put a label on it. And…I might not be leaving so soon after all.”
/> “What?” she shrieks. “You’re staying? If I’d known Drake is what would get you to move here for good, I would’ve introduced you two a long time ago.”
I roll my eyes. “I have plans of calling the agency on my next day off to see what we can work out. I need to see if they can get me placed at a different hospital.”
“Why can’t you stay here? Farrah told me you’re doing wonderfully, and everyone loves you.”
“That’s really great to hear, but Drake and I are breaking some pretty serious rules by seeing each other. And if we’re going to try to make it work, I want to do it the right way, and that means no sneaking around.”
“Oh.” She frowns. “I didn’t even think about the non-fraternization policy. But I agree one hundred percent. Sneaking around would suck. There’s no way I would’ve been able to sneak around with Brad. He’s too edible, and I can barely keep my hands off of him.”
“Trust me, it’s a struggle. Especially when he walks by me in those damn scrubs. His ass is so tight. I just want to push him into the supply closet and—”
“That’s enough,” Hannah says, standing up. “We’re going to have to set some serious boundaries when we talk about Drake and the things you want to do to him.”
“Dirty things. I want to do lots of dirty, filthy things.”
“Not listening,” she sings, walking away.
“But nothing he hasn’t already done to me,” I holler.
“I can’t hear you.”
Chapter 11
Abby
And that’s exactly how I spend the next week: doing lots of dirty, filthy things with Drake. Sometimes he does them to me, other times I do them to him, and in between all the dirty, we have lots of fun.
Like today, for example. Drake decided to take me snowshoeing, since the snow hung around longer than expected. It was a lot easier than I had anticipated, and I think I was pretty good at it. I even asked Drake how I did, but he mauled me the way he does every time we walk through the door, and here we are.
“Next time, we’ve got to make it to the bedroom. I’m getting too old for living-room-floor sex,” he says, dropping his head back against the hardwood floor.
