“What if I do something wrong?” she asks.

I give her a soft smile. “If I had a dollar for every time a new mom asked me that, I wouldn’t have to work anymore.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

She thinks about that for a moment. “What if he doesn’t like me? I’ve read that babies can sense anxiety. What if my anxiety gives him anxiety?”

I wrap my hand around her shin. “Devyn, I know this wasn’t planned, but I have a good feeling about you two. That little boy has a mommy who loves him and that can go a long way.”

A tear escapes as she looks down on her snoozing bundle of joy. “He looks so much like his father. I know it’s probably too early to say that, but it’s true. He’s so beautiful. I’ve never seen something so beautiful before.”

I give her a moment to reflect on that in silence. I may not know the baby daddy details but that statement tells me that her feelings for him run deep.

“Hey, would it be okay if I came to visit you guys at home sometime?”

She looks up in surprise. “Really? Is that something you normally do for your patients?”

“Not at all,” I admit. “But I could really use a friend and I figured who better than someone that comes with an adorable little baby to coo at? If you’re willing to have me, that is.”

She fights back more tears. “I’d love that, Rainey. I don’t have any friends in this town. I love Drew—he’s the best big brother ever—but it would be nice to have some female perspective occasionally. Just don’t be surprised if I use and abuse your knowledge of all things baby.”

I act shocked. “Are you trying to tell me that you don’t want me for my body?”

She laughs. “Well maybe just a little. Your boobs are pretty great.”

“We’re going to get along just fine, Devyn. You just wait and see.”

Chapter Five

BRODY

I’m supposed to be packing my bag for my return to grad school but I can’t stop thinking about a spicy little redhead in green scrubs. It’s been almost a week since my trip down Viagra Lane and I can’t seem to get her out of my mind. I literally cannot tell you how many times I’ve varnished my pole fantasizing about Rainey. Rainey’s tits bouncing while she rides me like a cowgirl. Rainey’s luscious ass while I’m doing her doggy. Rainey’s gorgeous strawberry blonde hair falling across my thighs while she sucks me off. Jesus fuck, I’m hard again just thinking about it. I know by now the only way I’ll be able to focus on anything is by taking care of this the good ol’ five-fingered way. Right as I have Thor in my grip, ready to show him who’s boss, my phone rings. I let it go to voicemail but as soon as it does, the ringing begins again. Damn it!

I release my dick and swipe my finger across the screen. “Yeah?”

“Hey douchebag,” the man on the other end says.

“Fuck you, Drew.”

Drew was my fraternity brother in college. We’ve kept in touch and have become good friends over the years.

Drew laughs. “Aw, what’s wrong, pumpkin? Are you on your period this week?”

“Is there an actual reason for your call? I was in the middle of something really important.”

“What could possibly be so important while you’re on break from school?” he questions. “And knowing you, ‘really important’ is code for dicking around.”

Well, he’s not entirely wrong.

“Whatever, man. What’s up?”

“I’m calling to find out when you’re coming over to see my awesome new nephew. Don’t think you’re returning to Boston before you meet him.”

Drew’s sister moved in with him after she got knocked up by some loser. I get that he’s excited about being an uncle but seeing a new baby that does nothing but shit, cry, and sleep isn’t high on my list of priorities.

“Sorry man, I’ve been busy.”
