Damon fisted his hands and stared at Magda’s door. He took a
step, then a second and raised a hand to knock. Drawing a deep breath he moved
back. He wanted her now. If she hadn’t slipped away he would have taken her
against the wall. His cock throbbed and was primed for action. He liked the way
she moved. He liked the way she smelled. Her response to him had danced along
his nerves like an electric current.
He growled. Her subtle scent lingered, teased and pushed his
need to taste her skin. During their brief encounter he’d waged a battle to
keep from grabbing and ravishing. He wanted to capture her taut nipple in his
mouth and lick salt from her skin. He’d wanted women before but his lust had
never come close to slipping from his control.
When her tongue had slid along his finger he’d nearly lost
his mind. Not a good sign. He’d always set the boundaries of each affair. He
couldn’t let lust become an obsession. Never happened before. Couldn’t now.
Good thing he’d begged off dinner with Lin, Ben and the
woman they’d wanted him to meet. He’d escaped a boring evening and a trap with
jagged teeth to snare him. He dashed to his apartment before he made a fool of
himself. He strode through the living room. How could he find a way to extend
the dinner and what followed into a weekend spent in the bed of his sexy
neighbor?
A quick check of the medicine cabinet and his dresser
drawers showed he needed some essential supplies. Call him cautious but he
always wore condoms. He’d seen the results of carelessness. Not for him. He hoped
Magda felt the same. He grabbed the car keys from the dresser.
The cell phone chimed with the opening notes of Beethoven’s
Fifth. “Yeah,” he said.
“Ben here. There’ll only be three of us at dinner. Do you
mind?”
Guess he hadn’t talked to Lin. “So what happened to the
woman you think is perfect for me. The one so eager to meet me?”
“She said no.”
“Really.” Any other time that would have bothered him. Not
tonight. “Did you forget to mention I am a doctor?”
Ben laughed. “She knows. That was her main reason for saying
no. She doesn’t do doctors. Not to mention you’re too young and she doesn’t
play where she worked.”
Damon chuckled. “Her loss. Doesn’t matter. I can’t come.
Something interesting came up.”
“As in female?”
“What else?”
Ben groaned. “How long have you been in town?”
“Five, maybe six hours.”
“Amazing.”
Damon strode toward the door. “Just lucky.”
“Are you at the house?”
“Found my own place complete with a hot woman.”
“Is it wise to move in with someone you don’t know?”
Damon closed the door and juggled the phone to lock up. “I’m
not. Bought a condo unit. Met the woman maybe fifteen minutes ago.”
“What’s she like?”
Damon heard the interest in Ben’s voice. “Tall, long legs,
great body.”
“Name?”
Damon laughed. “No way, buddy. I won’t give you a chance to
warn her about your cousin-in-law’s rule of life.”
“Imagine she’s beautiful.”
Damon frowned. Was she? He pulled her image into his
thoughts. Her features weren’t classic. Pouty lips that cried for kisses. Brown
hair and brown bedroom eyes. Beautiful, no. Still, something about her hand hit
him with hurricane force.
“Is she?” Ben repeated.
“Let’s just say she’s intriguing.”
“Where’s the condo? I can stop by and we can discuss the
practice.”
Damon laughed. “No way. What could have changed since the
last time we talked?” He started downstairs. “You know what they say about
curiosity.”
“Caught me. Give me a buzz tomorrow. Want to go over the
on-call schedule.”
“If I surface.”
Ben chuckled. “You’re incorrigible. Come for brunch on
Sunday and bring this hot woman.”
“Don’t count on it.”
“Is now a better time?”
Damon clattered down the stairs. “No time. Need to run to
the store. In case we don’t talk before I’ll see you Monday morning at the
hospital.”
“Be there by eight. I’ll introduce you and we’ll make
rounds.”
“ Will do.” Damon disconnected and slid into his car. He
glanced at Magda’s windows. One hour and counting.
