“It ended Friday.”
“Good. That means the shot will be effective immediately. Or, if you’d rather take the Pill, we can go that route too.”
They spoke for a few minutes about her past experiences with medicines and allergies. Satisfied that she was a good candidate for the shot, they decided to go that way, even though Jess’s face flushed more and more with each question he posed.
Finally, he took her hand. “Come on.” He led her to one of his examination rooms, pointing to the table. “Stay here and take off your coat. Let me go grab what I need.”
As he retrieved the shot, he heard the front door open. He’d locked it after Ginny left, so he knew that meant Tony was home. He stuck his head out of the medicine closet.
“Welcome home.”
Tony stopped at the sound of his voice, turning to greet him. Like Rhys, it didn’t appear Tony had slept any better than he had last night. His eyes were tired, his face weary. “Hey.”
“Jess is in the exam room,” Rhys said, pointing behind him.
Tony scowled. “Is she okay?”
Rhys held up what he’d come to find. “Birth control shot.”
Tony’s frown held. “Did you suggest that or—”
“She came to ask me for it.”
Tony’s expression cleared, but he still looked uneasy. “Okay. Good. I, uh, I’ve been thinking about Sunday night.”
“So have I.”
“In fact, I can’tstopthinking about it,” Tony admitted.
“Same.”
Tony ran his hand over his five-o’clock shadow. “It was incredible, Rhys. I know neither one of us has ever done anything like that, but…I don’t know how to explain what it meant to me. She’s…fuck…she’s amazing. And having you there…”
Rhys smiled, and the tightness in his chest he hadn’t acknowledged since Tony and Jess had left his room Sunday night lifted. “Sheisamazing. And I get what you’re saying because I feel it too. What we did…it felt right.”
“I don’t want to stop.”
Rhys closed and locked the medicine closet, then started back toward the exam room. “Come on. You can hold her hand while I give her the shot.”
Jess looked up and smiled when Rhys returned with Tony in tow. She’d shed her coat, hat, and gloves and was sitting on the edge of the exam table in her long-sleeved shirt and jeans. She tilted her head curiously at Tony’s arrival.
“Just got home,” he said, crossing the room to give Jess a quick kiss, like the one Rhys had given her in his office. It was a familiar, affectionate gesture that seemed to come naturally, considering they’d only switched their status from friends to lovers two days ago. “Rhys said you’re getting a shot. Thought I’d hold your hand.”
Jess shot Rhys a look, one brow raised. “I told you I’m not scared.”
Tony chuckled. “Roll up your sleeve, angel, and get the shot. Then…” He looked around the room. “I think the three of us should play doctor.”
Jess quickly rolled up her sleeve, her hasty action telling them just how much she liked that idea.
Rhys grinned as he prepared the needle, his thoughts whirling over Tony’s suggestion. Despite his occupation, he’d never actually “played doctor” with any of his previous lovers.
He gave Jess the shot and put a Band-Aid over the puncture spot. Then, because he couldn’t resist, he bent down to give it the same kiss to make it better that Jasper always craved so much.
Jess laughed softly.
Tony walked across the room, throwing the lock on the exam room door. “Take off your clothes, Jess.”
Rhys had noticed the way Tony’s voice deepened on Sunday night as he made his sensual demands, the way he didn’t shy away from asking for exactly what he wanted…in fine detail. Jess responded to his dirty talk…but what Rhys hadn’t anticipated was how much it would increasehisarousal as well.
