When the door shut, he finally spoke. “Hi, angel.”
Oh, God. He was right there, directly behind her. She could feel his breath on the back of her neck and his voice was like a caress down her spine. Her nipples peaked uncomfortably against her bra.
She turned to him and found herself pressed against his chest.
“Good to see you up and about,” she said, trying to sound casual. “How’s your recovery going?”
He skimmed his knuckles over the curve of her cheek. “You can drop the customer service act. I’m not a customer.”
She glanced down at his dog. “She’s my patient. You’re her owner. That makes you a client.”
Donovan leaned closer, his lips almost touching her ear. “Why did you disappear on me in the hospital?” His thumb brushed over her bottom lip, and she couldn’t help parting them slightly.
“I didn’t want to intrude,” she said breathlessly.
“You could never intrude.” He leaned in, his lips just a hair’s breadth away from hers. “I’ve been thinking about you, angel. Dreaming about you.”
Her heart was pounding so hard she could barely hear him over the rush of blood in her ears. She shivered at the feel of his breath on her skin, her body reacting to him in a way that she couldn’t control.
“Donovan, please,” she whispered, trying to push away from him.
But he held her in place, his hands reaching around to grip her hips. “Please what?” His voice was low and husky, sending a shiver down her spine. “‘Please keep touching me like this?’ ‘Please show me how much you’ve missed me?’ Because I have missed you, angel.”
She closed her eyes, the sensations he was evoking overwhelming her. She could feel his erection hardening between them. He wanted her just as much as she wanted him.
“I—I have to examine Spirit.”
“No, you don’t. She’s fine. All healed. I’d be the first to tell you if there was a problem.”
As if to prove his point, Spirit huffed before strutting over to the door and pawing at it. When it didn’t open, she sat down and glared at them like, “Can we go already?”
“She does look good,” Sasha conceded. “Her burns have healed nicely, and I can see she’s already growing hair back. But, Donovan, I can’t—”
“You can and you will.” His mouth swooped down and claimed hers in a kiss that was tender and fierce all at the same time. His tongue slid into her mouth, caressing and tasting her.
God, she’d missed him.
Her arms went around his neck, her fingers scrubbing over his short hair as she deepened the kiss, her body pressed tight to his. He pulled her hips closer, and she rocked against him, feeling him hard against her belly.
Donovan broke the kiss and pressed his lips against the sensitive skin below her ear. “I need you, angel, so much. I need to feel you, to know you’re with me again.”
She heard the front door shut as Mary-Lisa left for lunch and closed her eyes. Was she really going to do this here, at work? And not even at her own clinic, but her mentor’s—the place she’d started her veterinary career at?
Yes.
She took Donovan’s hand. “My office.”
His grin was all smug masculine pleasure. “Lead the way.”
Spirit sulked after them as she pulled him through the treatment room to the small office in back.
As soon as they were inside, Donovan pushed her against the door, his mouth hot and demanding on hers. She moaned, her fingers digging into his shoulders as he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. His mouth left hers and trailed hot, sucking kisses down her neck and collarbone, his hands caressing her ass through her scrubs.
She arched her back, rubbing herself against him. “Donovan...”
“I know, angel,” he murmured against her ear. “I’ve got you.”
She gasped as he dropped her back to her feet and spun her toward her desk.
