I blushed but I had to admit, I was incredibly turned on. Troy was unlike any lover I’d had before. He was naughty, playful, and incredibly sexy. Already, my mind reeled with the possibilities. Oh, the things we would do together. No room would be safe from our antics.

  Suddenly, his middle finger ran along the length of my clit. He moved it ever so slowly just to tease me. “Troy…” I whimpered but he did not stop. Instead, he started to flit my clit from side to side.

  I was so wet that the juices were starting to flow down the side of my leg.

  “Don’t tease me like this…” I begged but he didn’t listen to me.

  “What’s the matter? Don’t you like it?” He nibbled on my earlobe, tugging on it gently. “Because I can stop and go home if you want me to.”

  “No!”

  He smirked. “Then I suggest you be a good little girl. Just sit back and relax, and I’ll be sure to rock your world.” As he spoke, he carried me into the bedroom. Once we were close enough, he tossed me onto the mattress. A second later, he was on top of me, pinning my hands above my head. “I’m going to have so much fun with you.” He leaned down and kissed the side of my neck, finding my soft spot. He sucked on it until I was moaning with pleasure.

  I lifted my hips into the air and wrapped my legs around his waist. His cock throbbed against my thigh, straining to break free from its tight enclosure. I would have ripped his pants right off his body if it weren’t for him holding more down.

  “Now, tell me exactly what you want.”

  “You…” I breathed without hesitation.

  “Oh, come on, you’re going to have to do better than that. Frankly, I don’t believe you.”

  I bit my bottom lip, cheeks burning. This guy was really going to make me work for it. There was a fire burning between my legs, hotter than anything I had ever felt before. He was turning me on to the point of insanity. How was I supposed to resist? “Please… Troy… I need you. My body needs you. You can’t keep teasing me like this or I’m going to lose my mind. Please…”

  “Hmm… you still don’t sound very convincing. Maybe I should just leave…” But even as he threatened to go, he released my wrists and slid between my legs. With a fire burning in his eyes, he tore off my pants and threw them to the side. They landed on my nightstand, narrowly missing the lampshade.

  Since he had already taken off my panties, my pussy was fully exposed. He looked down and the hunger on his face became deeper. He grinned before diving between my folds and tasting me right from the source. His tongue flicked this way and that, teasing every sensitive inch.

  I moaned his name as my body writhed with pleasure.

  He pushed his tongue inside my entrance, forcing it as deep as it would go before he began twisting it.

  I screamed while grabbing his hair. My heart felt like it was going to burst right out of my chest.

  Troy grabbed me by the hips, lifted me off the bed, and buried his head even deeper. With one hand, he slung my legs over his shoulders.

  “Fuck!” My body started to shake. Ecstasy coursed through my veins. My toes curled as I felt myself nearing the edge. “Don’t stop.”

  His fingers dug into my ass cheeks as he licked me harder and faster.

  “I’m going to–”

  And then he stopped. Ever so gently, his tongue traveled along my clit, barely touching it. I whimpered. Oh, this man was evil. And, if he kept this up, I was sure to go insane.

  “What’s the matter?” he asked.

  I couldn’t stand it any longer. With a burst of energy, I turned the tables and pounced. I tore at his shirt and then his pants. Once every stitch of clothing was off his body, I took his cock into my hand, stroking it to an impossible hardness. He was so big that I could barely wrap my fingers around his girth. His tip was engorged with excitement and my body yearned to feel him inside of me.

  “You’re so big,” I whispered, lowering my voice in an attempt to sound sexy.

  He grinned but before I could make a move, he took control once more. My shirt was torn down the middle and my bra ripped right off my body. He licked his lips before taking one of my breasts into his mouth. He nipped at my sensitive skin with his teeth.

  “Troy!” I screamed as he pinched my other nipple between his fingers, twisting it this way and that. I arched my back, desperate for some real action but he just continued to tease me. His tongue ran along the edge of my areola until goosebumps covered my skin. “Come on…”

  I was so wet at this point that there was a puddle soaking through the sheets. With one hand, he separated my lips and guided his member toward my entrance. I held my breath – waiting.

  Time seemed to stop as I waited for him to take the plunge.

  “How badly do you want it?” he whispered into my ear.

  “Badly.”

  “I don’t believe you.”

  I knew my words would never be enough to convince him so I turned us around until I was straddling his body. With my heart beating like a racehorse, I took his cock in my hand and pressed it against my pussy. The feeling of his tip alone was enough to send me into a frenzy. But I didn’t dare stop. Slowly, I eased myself onto his length, inch by inch, until I felt like I was going to rip in two. Troy wasn’t just big – he was massive.

  “Mmm, baby girl.” He held me by the hips as he slowly started to guide me up and down his member.

  Pleasure coursed through every inch of my body. I placed my hands on his chest as I started to get into the rhythm of things. Soon, we were in perfect sync. I gathered speed, bouncing faster and faster until his balls were slapping against my ass. The sound of our lovemaking echoed off the walls. I shuddered, my climax only seconds away.

  His eyes were locked on my chest. He growled like a wild animal as he pulled me close. His teeth sunk into my flesh, leaving behind deep bite marks.

  Just then, he took control, pinned me onto the bed, and fucked me into tomorrow. The whole bed started to shake. He held onto the headboard as he pounded into me harder and harder.

  I screamed as white-hot pleasure exploded inside of me.

  A second later, he pulled out and I felt his warm jism shoot across my back. He collapsed beside me with a dirty grin on his face. “Damn. That was good.”

  “Good? I’m insulted.” I grinned. “I’m pretty sure that was better than good.”

  He kissed my forehead and smiled. “You’re right. You were amazing.”

  “Now that’s more like it.”

  We laid there a moment, attempting to catch out breaths. “Let me get you a tissue.” Troy rolled out of bed and padded into the bathroom.

  I watched him disappear with a smile on my face. After Jamie left, I never thought I’d be happy again but Troy was quickly starting to prove me wrong.

  Troy

  A few weeks later.

  I was settling into my new life quite nicely. The tiny town was definitely growing on me and I was quickly finding my place among the hospital staff.

  Not to mention, I had a pretty killer girlfriend. Well, not officially, anyway. We decided it would be best to keep things casual, at least for the moment. I didn’t mind all that much but, I’ll admit, it was becoming harder and harder to keep from developing feelings for her. Or, rather, to stop myself from expressing them. I had already fallen for her.

  Tonight, our schedules clashed. She was working an all-nighter while I had the day off. Still, I dropped by the hospital with a box of take-out in my hand.

  Cassidy looked up from the front desk and smiled. “Well, well, if it isn’t our handsome surgeon. I thought you had the day off today.”

  “I do.”

  “So, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you picked up a shift? That good for nothing Dr. Brown is always ‘sick’ but I think it’s a load of baloney. That man is up to no good, I swear it.”

  “No. No. I’m exhausted. Don’t think I could have covered his shift even if he asked me to.”

  “Been one hell of a week, huh? You’d think we’d have more casualties during inclement weather but it’s always the sunny days that get this place packed.”

  “Gives people an excuse to drive like idiots,” I said as I reached for her candy bowl. As always, she slapped my hand away and gave me the stink eye. “Ow!” I nursed my hand dramatically.

  “Oh, quit being such a baby.”

  “Well, maybe if you’d share your candy I wouldn’t make such a fuss.”

  “Have you thought about buying your own candy?”

  “Don’t even start with me. You give Summer candy all the time.”

  “Speaking of which. Things are heating up between you two, huh?”

  “What are you talking about?” I responded nonchalantly. I waited for her to look away before snatching a peppermint. She caught me just as I popped it into my mouth.

  “Don’t play dumb with me, boy,” she snapped.

  “Okay, yeah, things are going pretty well.”

  “Listen here. Hurt that girl and you’ll have to answer to me.” Her voice was a low growl.

  “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

  “Good.” She voluntarily handed over a piece of chocolate. “Here. You’ve earned it.”

  “Is hell freezing over as we speak?”

  She rolled her eyes and went back to her crossword puzzle. “You wouldn’t happen to know a six-letter word for toy gun ammo. I should know this one. My boys used to play cops and robbers all the time when they were younger.”

  “Have you tried pellets?”

  “Pellets?” She grabbed her pencil and grinned from ear to ear. “I think you got it! Thanks!”

  I smiled briefly. “Don’t mention it.”

  “So, I doubt you came all the way here to talk to me. What are you doing here?”

  “Came to bring Summer some late-night dinner. Make sure she eats it, will you?” I handed over the box.

  “What is it?”

  “Some Chinese food.”

  “And you didn’t think to bring me any?” She placed her hand on her hip.

  “Hey, if you don’t want to fork over your candy, I’m not going to buy you Chinese food.”

  “Hmph,” she puffed. “Alright. I’ll make sure it gets to her. You sure you don’t want to peek in and see her?”

  “No, I don’t want to disturb her. Just make sure she gets it and tell her it's from me. Don’t try to take all the credit.”

  “I’m offended that you’d think I’d do such a thing.”

  “Good night, Cassidy.”

  I started to head home but then I took a little detour into town. After the hectic work week, I definitely needed a drink and I didn’t particularly feel like drinking alone. Besides, I was all out of whiskey back home. So, I stopped in at a local bar and ordered a Jack on the rocks.

  The bartender kept giving me the bedroom eyes but I ignored her. With Summer by my side, I had no need for someone else.

  I kept to myself and sipped on my whiskey, savoring the taste. I glanced at the overhead TVs. Some baseball game was playing. The batter swung and managed to get a hit, sliding into second for a double. A few of the bar patrons cheered.

  By the third inning, I ordered another drink. The bartender had been replaced with an older man who sported a mean glare. “Hey, aren’t you a doctor?”

  “Yes,” I answered.

  “Thought I recognized you. You operated on my niece.”

  I smiled. “Really? How is she doing?”

  “Wonderfully. We really owe you, doc. We don’t know if she’d still be around without you.”

  “Oh, I can’t take all the credit. I had an amazing team on my side.” Immediately, I thought back to Summer.

  “My niece did say something about an amazing nurse. I think her name was Summer.”

  I nodded. “Oh, yes, she’s quite amazing. I couldn’t think of anyone better to have by my side.”

  Before he could respond, a tall blonde woman sat down beside me. “A cosmo. He’s paying.” She pointed her thumb in my direction before bursting into a fit of giggles.

  My body froze. I’d recognize that laugh just about anywhere. “Lisa? What are you doing here?”

  She giggled once more and laid a hand on my chest before getting way too close. I could smell the booze on her lips.

  I pushed her back by the shoulders, causing her to pout.

  “What are you doing? Aren’t you happy to see me?” Again, she invaded my personal space. This time she batted her eyelashes as if that would persuade me to let her have her way with me. My eyes gravitated toward her bright dress. The neckline plunged into dangerous territory. I could see the top of her breasts along with most of her bra. It was black and trimmed with lace.

  She smirked seductively. “Do you like what you see, big boy?” Her voice dropped to a husky whisper, the kind she had often used in the bedroom. “I can tell you haven’t forgotten about me.” Again, she giggled and the sound was enough to pierce right through my soul.

  “Lisa. Stop,” I growled as I pushed her away once more. She wobbled on her barstool and I had to grab her by the hips to keep her from falling. I hated this woman for everything she had done to me, but I didn’t want her to crack her skull open on my account.

  The bartender handed over a cosmo but I pushed it back. “No. Give it to someone else. She doesn’t deserve my money.”

  “Oh, don’t be like that.” She glared. “Don’t lie, Troy, you’ve missed me.”

  I laughed. “Missed you? I’ve enjoyed every day without you.”

  She frowned. “You weren’t this mean when we dated. What happened?” Again, her voice lowered into that alluring tone. She leaned across my lap and grinned like the Cheshire cat.

  “Lisa. I’ll tell you this once and only once. Get off me.”

  “Now, why would I do that?” she asked as her fingertips danced across my shirt. Quickly, she unbuttoned my topmost button, exposing some of my chest. She leaned in and her smirk deepened. “I see you’re still wearing that cologne I like.

  “I need my bill,” I told the bartender as I stood on my feet and stepped away from my ex-girlfriend.

  “Is this woman bothering you, sir?” he asked.

  I waved my hand. “I’ll be gone in just a moment. Don’t worry about it.”

  She grabbed me by the wrist and reeled me in. “Oh, won’t you dance with me first?”

  “No.” I answered with gritted teeth. “I want nothing to do with you. I told you as much when we broke up.” Frustrated, I watched the older man fiddle with the cash register. I wish he would hurry up already, I thought to myself. “I’d let go of me if I were you.”

  “Jeez. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”

  “Tends to happen when you see your cheating ex-girlfriend at a bar.” I paused. “Leaves this sour taste in your mouth, you know?” I narrowed my eyes in her direction. “No, you don’t because I was faithful during our entire relationship. I never even thought of another girl and yet you were running around town painting it red.”

  She frowned. “What did you expect? You were never home and a girl has her needs.”

  “Her needs?” I spat. “Is that really your excuse?” I actually laughed. “I almost forgot how ridiculous you were.”

  She jumped off her feet and swayed on her high heels. “All I’m asking for is another chance.”

  “Another chance? That’s not going to happen, Lisa. Once you lose my trust, it’s gone.”

  “Troy… please.” She saddled up to my chest until her body was pressed against my own.

  “I’m going home,” I said as I signed my receipt.

  “Home? But it’s still so early…” she complained. “Are you sure you don’t want to head to the dancefloor for a little while. I can’t imagine you’ve forgotten all the fun we used to have together.” She took my hand and ran it along the length of her hip.

  I’ve never been a very violent man but, in that moment, I wanted to wipe the smirk off her face. Who did this woman think she was?

  “Look, if you think that you can just waltz back into my life like nothing ever happened, you have another thing coming.” I tried to pull my hand away but she kept it in place, her eyes burning with determination.

  “I’ve changed.”

  “People never change,” I growled. “They only figure out how to put on a mask and pretend to be someone else but deep down, they are always the same. You broke my trust, Lisa, and that’s something you’ll never get back.”

  She dug her nails into my skin as I tried to leave. “Come on, don’t be like this.”

  “I have every right to ‘be like this’ especially after what you did.” I snapped back. “Look, I never cried for you and I never will. You were a mistake in my life and one I will never make again.”

  “Troy...”

  “Do not say my name,” I shot with such venom that she actually recoiled.

  I walked away but she followed me. Clearly inebriated, she was unable to walk properly and tripped over her own two feet. She crashed into the ground. Silence fell over the bar as everyone looked our way. I wanted to walk away but the doctor in me had to check whether she was alright.

  Sometimes I really hated being the nice guy.

  Summer

  My back ached from a full day of standing on my feet. With a hand pressed against the small of my back, I walked into the break room to find Mia sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee. She grinned at me over the rim of the mug.

  “What are you doing here? Who even let you in here?” I demanded. “And I’ve told you a million times that I don’t want you bothering me at work.”

  She frowned. “I’m highly offended. I thought you’d be happy to see your best friend.”

  I shook my head. “The last thing I need is for my boss to walk in here and see me chit-chatting. Plus, not to mention, you’re not authorized to be back here.”
