“Comin’, Pat!” I called over my shoulder, holding Reese’s fiery stare for another second before I turned and headed for the door.
It only took a minute to give Pat the part for his tractor. He’d replaced the belt plenty of times on his own and wasn’t one for chitchat, so within a couple minutes, the older rancher was on his way.
I looked for Reese, but she wasn’t inside anymore. She must’ve slipped out when I went to my office to give Pat a receipt.
Sure enough, she was pacing the gravel lot when I walked outside, her phone to her ear. I gritted my teeth and quickly locked up.
“Reese.”
She held up her finger. “Thanks for letting me know, Tonya.” She ended the call and moved right into a text message. “Sorry, I just wanted to follow up on a patient of mine who was in for surgery this morning—”
“Reese.” This time, I plucked her phone right out of her hands. The look on her face, you’d think I’d just grabbed her ass.
A thought far more tempting but much less necessary.
“What are you doing? Give me my phone back.” She went to reach for it, so I hoisted my hand above my head.
“Forcing you to take a break.”
She reached higher, so I stepped back.
“Decker,” she ground out, determined as she jumped to reach her phone without thinking twice—“You can’t—omph”—and crashed into me instead.
My free arm locked around her, pulling all her soft curves hard against me as I stumbled into the side of my car, using it to stop the both of us from crashing to the ground.
Damn, she felt good.Our breaths collided in a fast, heavy rush. My dick swelled and pressed to the front of my jeans.This relationship might be fake, but the way my body responded to her was as real as it gets.
Our eyes locked,and for a second…she stilled. Truly stilled.
“What are you doing?” Her voice was breathless.
“There’s nothing for you to do—that you can do out here,” I rasped. “So, I’m starting you on PT.”
She flattened her palms to my chest. I wondered if she could feel my heart pumping. Carefully, she pushed back and created a safe distance between us.
My eyes dropped to her chest. I could see the outline of her nipples through her shirt, and as quickly as I realized it, so did she. Her arms folded tightly over her front.
“I don’t need physical ther—”
“Not physical. Phone therapy.” I made sure she was watching as I tucked her phone into my back pocket. “We’re weaning you off of work.”
“You can’t be serious.” Her incredulous look was so damn adorable.
My lips cocked into a crooked smile. “Just call me Dr. Decker.”
Her eyes rolled. “Unbelievable.”
“Think of it this way, when we get back tonight, I get to tell your mom about how you relaxedallday and didn’t look at your phone once.”
Reese glowered, smart enough to realize where I was going with my offer. If her mom was convinced she could relax, then she’d be more inclined to let Reese helicopter over her.
“Plus, I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to be convincing about this whole thing, I should probably know a little more about you than the fact that you’re married to your work.”
“I’m not—” She broke off with a huff, her lips pursing into a tight smile. “Fine. No phone for today.”
