“Should we wait until tomorrow—”
“No,” I say, with more force than I intended. “I’m working from early morning until late afternoon tomorrow, and then it’s two days off. I was thinking…”
“What?” she quips when I let the sentence drift away.
“I should probably explain about Alexis before I make any assumptions. But I was going to say I’m taking you out tomorrow, on a proper date, like you deserve. I want the whole damn world to see me with my Callie on my arm. I could even buy you a dress… as long as I get to pick it.”
A primal passion raises up inside me when I think about the sort of outfit I’d choose for my woman, a drumbeat pounding through me, telling me to forget the outfit and grab her now. Throw her on the bed and collapse on top of her, grinding my groin against hers so she can feel just how hungry she makes me.
“That would be nice,” she whimpers. “But first…”
“I know. You deserve some answers.”
She sits up a little straighter, causing her top to shift, her bra strap visible. I have to look away or I won’t be able to stop myself from diving forward and yanking off her clothes and revealing those plump juicy tits of hers.
“Alexis is… I guess you could call her my stalker,” I say.
Callie gasps. “Seriously?”
“Yeah, I swear. Callie, I’d never lie to you. I’d never even think about lying to you. We’re going to be together forever. Everything I’m going to tell you is the truth. Okay?”
She bites her lip, and releases it a second later, as though ramping herself up to believing me. “Yeah, yeah, okay.”
“She came in with her older sister, to see one of the doctors. She wasn’t even there to see me. But I guess I walked by outside the consultation room. Or maybe she saw me in the parking lot. Wherever it was, apparently she…”
“What?” Callie urges.
I release my jaw, realizing I’m clenching it so hard it’s like I’m trying to shatter my teeth. “She said she fell in love with me the second she saw me.”
Squeezing my fists, I try to beat back the rage barreling through my chest, singeing every part of me. Alexis shouldn’t be allowed to corrupt this moment, this pure and starry brightness Callie and I are sharing. She shouldn’t need to be pulled it this madness.
“It’s okay,” Callie whispers. “What happened next?”
“She ambushed me in the parking lot one day,” I go on, barely suppressing a snarl as I think about being with any other woman than Callie. She’s the only one. Forever. “She tried to kiss me. I wasn’t receptive. I tried to be polite, moved away from her, but she wouldn’t stop. It’s like she couldn’t believe I wasn’t interested. In the end, she ended up creating a total scene, climbing onto the hood of my car, jumping up and down, screaming. You can ask anyone at the hospital who was there that day. They’ll tell you how nuts she is.”
“It’s okay.” She leans forward, grabbing my hand. “I believe you.”
I squeeze onto her hand, returning the warmth, the reassurance, and then nod. “After that – this was a few months ago – she’s popped up every now and then. She started leaving handwritten messages for me at work. Waiting for me outside, all dressed up like I was going to take her out. I had to get a restraining order, but she doesn’t seem to care.”
A growling sigh escapes me and I close my eyes for a moment, staring into the blackness of my eyelids. “How can she think she can fall for someone after…”
I chuckle, opening my eyes to find Callie smiling at me. It’s a radiant smile, full and blooming, spreading warmly across her face and making me think of all the good times to come, all the laughter and joy we’re going to share when we start our family together.
But I can’t let myself think about that for long, because then I’ll start fantasizing about how we’re going to start a family, about pushing those thick virginal thighs apart and plunging deep inside of her.
“I know it’s hypocritical,” I say, nodding. “I knew I needed to have you the second I saw you – the second you crashed into me. Oh, by the way, I’ve had your car towed and it’s waiting for you to claim. Or I can go ahead and wreck it and get you a new one. I also had somebody go by your apartment and repair the door.”
“When did you arrange all that?” she asks.
“In between surgeries,” I reply.
“Jeez, Conrad, you must be really exhausted.”
I nod. “Yeah, maybe I am. But being near you wakes me up.”
She tilts her head. “Why don’t you try and say that without slurring, huh? Come on, you need to get some sleep.”
