Sizzling Nights with Dr. Off-Limits - Page 46

I’m with Meghan.

The pretty brunette nurse who worked on the pediatric neuro floor who’d been with Emily the night of the fund-raiser. He’d seen her around the hospital and always made a point to say hi.

Where are you?

She told him the name of a club a couple blocks away.

I’ll be right there.

“He’s on his way,” Emily stage-whispered to Meghan, leaning across the bar table to give her friend a pleading look. “Now what?”

“Now you get to have some fun with Dr. Yummy Tummy.”

“How do you know his tummy is yummy?”

Meghan giggled. “Well, isn’t it?”

Yes, Lucas’s stomach was pretty yummy. Pretty cut. Pretty six-packed.

She sighed. “I shouldn’t have invited him here.”

“Why not?”

“Because it’s our night.”

“Emily, I love you, hun, but you’ve not been with me since we got here.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t think I haven’t noticed that you’ve checked your phone every two minutes, and when he finally texted, you almost passed out with relief.”

Her shoulders sagging, she squished up her nose. “I did, didn’t I?”

Her friend nodded. “So tell me about him. Besides the obvious.”

“The obvious?”

“That he’s hot and has the hots for you.”

“Obviously, I have the hots for him, too,” she admitted, wondering at how much she should tell Meghan. She and the woman had instantly hit it off when Emily had started at Children’s and their friendship had grown over the years. She loved Meghan, but telling her, telling anyone, about Lucas made her nervous. Still, she needed an objective opinion and there was no one she trusted more than Meghan.

“Obviously.” Her friend laughed, taking a sip of her drink.

Emily followed suit, taking a small sip of her diet soda and a huge leap of faith. “I used to be married to him.”

“What?” The loud music and dim lights did nothing to hide Meghan’s shock.

Emily swirled the contents of her glass. “He’s my ex-husband.”

Meghan looked floored. “Dr. Cain is your ex-husband? The one you were devastated by when you started at Children’s? The one who it took you years to get past and start dating again? That ex-husband?”

Toying with the tiny straw in her drink, Emily nodded. “Yep, he used to be all mine.”

Which sounded an awful lot like she wanted him to be all hers again, because, seriously, she could have just said “yes, that ex-husband,” right?

She didn’t want him to be all hers again. Did she?
