No fucking way will another man, doctor or not, be looking at her pussy, let alone touching it. Even the thought sends a murderous rage through me. Why I feel those things when I barely know the woman, and we’re not even dating, confounds me.
It’s her turn to laugh. “Now who’s jealous?” My scowl deepens. She sits up and lays her hand on my abs, her expression turning serious. “I’m nothing to you, Carter. We’re just two adults playing and having a good time. That’s all.”
I don’t like hearing those words. Sure, this may have started out as something casual, but between the first night we spent together and today, that’s changed. I want more than convenient fucks when the mood strikes us.
“Let’s change that,” I tell her, and I can tell from the widening of her eyes, I’ve surprised her. “I think we both agree the sex is phenomenal, but what if we try for something more?”
She bites her bottom lip, and I wait her out as she thinks over my proposition. I’m sure I know why she’s hesitating. It’s the same reason she hesitated the first night. My last name has earned a bad reputation from the actions of my father and brother. I don’t really blame the town for their reservation toward my mother and me. It would be hard for anyone to imagine that neither of us had a clue what was going on, but the fact remains, we didn’t. It’ll take time to overcome the stigma. Because of that, right after my father and brother were arrested, I asked Mom if it would be easier if she moved out of Silver Falls. She adamantly refused, saying she would not let what her husband and son did force her to move from the home that she loves.
“Okay.” Harley’s softly spoken answer brings me out of my thoughts.
“Yeah?” I ask, needing that reassurance.
She smiles timidly. “Yeah.”
I grin and force her head back so I can take her lips again.
