Falling for the Dr (A Small Town Medical RomCom)

Cal.

“Teddy?”

I smiled and pressed myself flush against him. “I’m not asking you to stop, Cal.”

I let myself do the one thing I promised I would never do again: I lost myself in Cal Rutledge.

I lost myself in pleasure.

Cal

Teddy’s words surprised me, but not more so than the intense, hungry kiss she laid on me. She was so insistent that we were a bad idea, so determined to keep me at arm’s length, yet now here she was—not just in my arms, but clinging to my body like she was starving for me.

Me.

I wanted to ask her what had changed. I needed to know that she wanted this the way I did, because I didn’t need a pity screw. I didn’t want her to just give in; I wanted her powerless against this thing that swirled between us. When she growled in her throat and speared her fingers through my hair, I pulled back with a moan.

“Teddy,” I panted, eyes flickering to the racing pulse at the base of her throat.

“I’m right here with you.” Her words were as breathless as my own, her lips slick from our kisses, her stiff nipples poking at my chest.

I needed a taste of her. Now. The heat in her gaze was just what I wanted to see as I leaned in close and put my lips to the line of her jaw, down the column of her slender neck and across her prominent collarbone. She was sweaty, which turned me on.

And full of debris. I pulled back again and spat out traces of sawdust with a laugh. “Well, that’s awkward.”

Teddy laughed. “You did catch me at the end of a very long and very hot day at the office.”

I loved that she wasn’t embarrassed or bothered by being caught at less than her best; it made her even more attractive. “I like the sweat, but might I recommend a nice hot shower for the lady? Mine is big enough for two.” I wiggled my eyebrows and waited for the rejection that never came.

“Yeah, I installed it.”

“Then you know exactly how spacious it is and all the features that could make a shower… fun.”

Teddy took a step back and let out a rushed sigh. “Sounds nice.”

Her fingers motioned for me to lead the way and I grabbed her hand in mine, tugging her up the stairs and to the end of the hall where the master suite took up most of the space. She looked around at her crew’s handiwork, the separate shower and bathtub sat side-by-side, but her gaze lingered on the all-glass shower doors and the waterfall heads that provided the best showers I’ve ever experienced.

“Gorgeous.”

“Stunning,” I replied, my gaze never leaving her even as I reached inside the shower and cranked the water on hot. “Well?”

Teddy stood there, hands on her hips and one brow arched deviously. “These clothes aren’t going to remove themselves.”

She didn’t have to tell me twice. I was in front of her in a flash, peeling every item off her lithe body as slowly as I could manage. My knuckles brushed against her shoulder and Teddy gasped. She shivered when my fingertips grazed the back of her knees as I slid her pants down. Every touch produced a response, and I was so fucking hard I ached for this woman, who had no problem letting me know what she liked.

“You’re so beautiful,” I whispered in her ear and took a step back to undress, but Teddy was there already. Her eager hands tore at the fabric of my clothes until I was naked.

“Right back at ya.”

As soon as we were enclosed within the heat and steam of the shower, I was on the tempting woman, mouth and hands anywhere. Everywhere. She stood under the hot spray, moaning as I lathered up her body until it was good and soapy, until she trembled with desire.

“I love how turned on you are.”

She smiled and looked at me. “Me too. I love that you want to do something about it even more.”

Hell yeah, I did. My hands started at her tits, kneading the soft flesh and pinching her nipples because I knew how much Teddy loved nipple play. She moaned, and I brushed a kiss to her lips before taking one nipple in my mouth, sucking and nibbling as her fingernails dug into my skin.

“Cal,” she moaned, and the sound echoed in the shower and throughout the oversized bathroom. “Yes.”

Her fingers slid through my hair and tugged hard as I kissed down her body, her soft wet skin so supple to the touch. I lifted one leg over my shoulder and tasted her core, lapping up the evidence of her arousal while she made a symphony of noises that had my cock growing harder and thicker, dripping down the drain with the soapy water.
