Rex snorted a laugh as he stood. He bent down and left a smacking kiss on Nugget’s chubby cheek, making the baby break out in belly laughs. “Wanna get lunch next week, Nugget? How about same time, same place?” He winked at Gorgeous before he headed out of the clubhouse and across the street to get his woman some food.
Jolene
Sitting at her desk in the back area of the clinic, Jolene was typing notes for a patient into the computer system when a couple of the vet tech’s came down the hall, whispering. It wasn’t until they stopped next to her desk that she lifted her head and looked over at them. They were both standing there, staring at her with grins on their faces.
“What?”
The two techs looked at each other then back at her. Julie, the brunette, hiked a thumb over her shoulder, gesturing toward the front of the clinic. “There’s a sexy biker out there with a lunch delivery for you. We thought he was a delivery guy or something, but he won’t let us take the bag of food.”
Helen, the redhead, shook her head and somehow managed to grin bigger. “Said he needed to see you. And when we asked what his name was, he said,Tell her that her man’s here. His vest says,Rex.”
“Cut,” Doc immediately corrected, distracted by his use of the wordsher man. She didn’t remember them having that discussion.
“What do you want us to do?” Julie asked.
“You can send him back,” Jolene answered and returned to her notes, intent on finishing the current chart before she ate.
The girls walked away, giggling. Two minutes later, Jolene felt lips and a beard brush up against the side of her neck, then a bag of food was set on her desk next to her keyboard.
“Chicken bacon ranch wrap, an order of onion rings, and a piece of chocolate cream pie.” He set a to-go cup next to the bag. “And a non-diet cherry cola.”
“Thank you.” She turned in her chair and looked up at him.
Rex took that opportunity to give her a proper kiss.
When he pulled away, she asked, “My man?”
He shrugged, looking hot as hell. He was wearing the same thing he’d been wearing the night before, jeans and a white tee under his cut, even though it was fucking December, but it was a great look on him. “I am.”
“You are?”
His eyes narrowed but they were amused. “Am I not?”
“We didn’t have that conversation,” she said.
Rex bent down, putting a hand on each side of her on the desk, boxing her in. With his face only inches from her, he countered, “When we talked, and you told me what you needed and I picked a safeword, I became your man.”
“We’ve had one night together,” she said quietly.
“Doc, if I’m being honest, I was yours the second you swatted me on the head and called me a bad dog months ago.” The grin that grew on his face made her want to drag him into the nearest exam room and have a repeat of their activities from the night before.
“We barely know each other.”
“I know enough, and I could explain why, but you don’t have time for that conversation. So how about I meet you at your place at seven, and we talk about it over the pizza I’m going to bring with me?”
“You have a way with assuming things and expecting me to go along with them.”
Rex nipped at her bottom lip. “You telling me not to come over? After all, you’re the one in charge between us. Give the order, Doc.”
She narrowed her eyes on him, but she didn’t say anything. The truth was she wanted the sexy wolf shifter biker to play with her in her bedroom where she kept all her supplies, so there was no way she was telling him to stay away.
He quietly chuckled. “Yeah. See you at seven.” He took her lips in a scorching hot, but way too brief kiss, before he backed off and turned to head to the front.
That was when they both noticed Julie and Helen peeking around the corner at the other end of the hall, watching them.
Louder than necessary, Rex said, “I’ll plan on staying at your place when I come over, Doc. Have a great afternoon.” Then his sexy ass casually strolled down the hall, like he wasn’t just fueling office gossip.
