I groan into her mouth while she clings to me, and just as I’m about to sink into her fully, her cell suddenly rings.

I freeze.

Then groan loudly against her lips.

“Leave it,” I mutter, trying to kiss her again.

She squeezes her eyes shut. “Shit.”

“Indi…”

“I have to answer it.”

I stare at her in disbelief while still buried only partially inside her. “Can’t you call them back later?” I ask roughly, fighting every instinct to keep going.

“I can’t. It’s the hospital. There must be an emergency.” She looks genuinely apologetic. “I’m so sorry.” Then she pushes me gently away.

I flop onto my back beside her while my cock throbs painfully, and disappointment crashes over me like a fucking eighteen-wheeler truck.

This cannot be happening.

“Hello?” she answers breathlessly. “Yes. Okay, I’ll be there as soon as I can.” She ends the call, and I drag my arm over my face because I genuinely want to scream.

She leans over me and gently pulls my arm away. “I’m sorry, but it’s an emergency. I have to go.”

I force myself to smile even though I feel hollowed the fuck out. “It’s fine,” I lie.

“Get dressed. I need to leave now.”

Well shit! Those words hit harder than they should.

She doesn’t even want me staying here to wait for her.

Slowly, I sit up while she rushes around the room, pulling clothes on. Meanwhile, I get dressed at the speed of a depressed sloth, feeling completely deflated while trying not to catch my still painfully hard cock in my zipper.

“Caleb, hurry up,” she calls while racing into the living room.

I pull my vest over my head, shove my jacket back on, and slide into my shoes before following her out.

She grabs her keys and coat near the door. “I’ll call you, okay?” Then she rushes outside before I can even answer.

I stand there in the middle of her living room, completely stunned.

How the hell did we go from that… to this… in less than thirty seconds?

“Caleb!” she yells from outside.

Blinking hard, I finally force myself to move and head out the front door.

“Thanks for dinner. I’ll call you,” she says quickly before hugging me tightly.

She jumps into her car, starts the engine, and drives away, and just like that…

She is gone.

Leaving me standing there on her front doorstep like a stunned fucking idiot with a confused head, a throbbing cock, and absolutely no idea what just happened.
