OMG Stacey Turner and the new doc saved a woman’s life tonight! Check out the video!! Well done Stacey and Dr Harry!!
I pulled the curtain back with a sharp intake of breath. Stacey worked the edge of the sheet in her fingers.
“Okay for me to proceed?”
She nodded. I put on gloves and placed a shallow pan with a bottle of distilled water, gauze pads to clean the wound, and a bandage in it on the exam table beside her.
I’d just saved a woman’s life in a restaurant and yet here I was struggling to focus on a scraped knee. I wasn’t going to stuff this up.Be the Bear Grylls of doctors …
I swabbed her wound, holding her leg around her calf, and then cleaned up the streaks of blood down her shin.
Stacey shivered.
“Are you warm enough?
She nodded, and I shifted my focus back to her knee. Her legs adjusted and the sheet lifted slightly. I slowly blinked, my heart pounding against my ribs.
Be.
Like.
Fucking.
Bear.
Grylls.
I cleared my throat. “Graze looks superficial and should heal with a waterproof bandage to keep it clean.”
I gently set her leg down and stood, removing my gloves and reaching for a new pair.
“Wait.” Stacey covered my hand with hers. “Thank you.”
“I should be thanking you.” My voice was gruff and low. “I mean it, Stacey. Thank you. You were incredible tonight.”
“You kept her alive with CPR. All I did was run fast.”
“You were fucking amazing. Running counted for everything.”
Stacey squeezed my hand briefly and then suddenly fisted my shirt, pulling me closer.
I braced myself on the wall behind her, letting Stacey pull me between her legs, the sheet bunching up. My lips hovered over hers. I breathed the air from her parted lips. She was so close. I wanted to taste her, savour her.
If she pulled me any closer, she would feel my erection straining against my zipper, but I dared not make a move. Stacey had rules. She had to break those rules or make new ones.
She titled her chin up, her nose rubbing against mine and I closed my eyes.
“What are you doing, Stacey?” My lips grazed hers as I spoke.
