Sitting behind my desk, my back to my computer, I stared out the window at Rell washing one of my cars. There was a lot on my mind, but nothing that should’ve been keeping me from working. I just didn’t feel like working.
My phone rang—Veda. She’d been blowing my phone up, angry that I sent her home from the benefit in an Uber, but after talking to Doc that night, my head was all twisted up and I really didn’t feel like dealing with her. That’d been a week ago, and her ass was still on the rampage.
I watched Rell leave the car and rush into the garage. A minute or so later, a familiar car pulled in front of the garage, and my eyes widened as Rell opened the door for her.
I hopped up from my chair, looked down at myself—jogging pants and a t-shirt. Shit, whatever. I had showered, so there was that. I started to run my ass to the front door, then decided to at least try to play it cool, act like a man who was damn near forty instead of some eager-ass teenager, but it was hard.
Straining my ears, I heard Rell let her in, heard her thank him, and a minute or so later, heard a knock at my office door.
I sat back down, and said, “Come in.”
The door eased open. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a sheer black blouse, so sheer that I could see her black bra through it. Her thick hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I think I’d only seen her wear make-up once, maybe twice. She was wearing none at that moment, but she didn’t need it. She was so damn beautiful without it.
She flashed me a timid smile. “Hey.”
I didn’t move, didn’t smile, wasn’t sure what I should do. “Hey.”
She fingered the keys she held in her hand. “Uh…can I sit down?”
“Yeah, sure. Go ahead.”
I watched her sink into a chair. Then, silence.
I scooted closer to my desk. “What’s on your mind, Doc?”
Her thick eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at me. Luscious lips parted then closed again. She leaned forward in her chair and dragged her bottom lip between her teeth, making that dimple appear, and blood rushed to my crotch. Every little thing she did turned me on.
Finally, she said, “I just wanted to let you know my hus—Robert and I signed the divorce papers.”
I kept my eyes on hers. “What does that mean exactly?”
“Well, the papers still have to be approved and signed by a judge, but Robert’s lawyer says they’ve found one who’s willing to sign off on our divorce as soon as tomorrow morning. My lawyer says they must have connections, because things never move that fast, so, I’m essentially a free woman.” She was smiling triumphantly by the time she finished her statement.
I nodded. “Good for you. Congratulations.”
She sat there and stared at me. “That’s it?”
With lifted eyebrows, I asked, “Is what it?”
“That’s all you have to say? You’re not happy?”
“Of course I am. I’m very happy for you, Doc.”
She kept her eyes on me, and then her face fell. “You…you’re not interested in me anymore?”
“I’m interested, Doc. As a matter of fact, I’m sitting here with a hard dick just from the sight of you.”
Her eyelids dropped a bit. “Then why are you acting like you really don’t care?”
“Being cautious. Is this just a friendly visit?”
“No…I want to be more than friends. I want you.”
“You sure I’m what you want? You’re positive?”
“Yes! I came straight here from my lawyer’s office, because I…I’ve missed you.”
