"It sounds like it was a pretty hard fall."
    "I was clumsy," I chuckle. "I need to get better at walking in heels."
    "He sounded nice," she begins before she takes a short breath. "I mean the doctor that called about you, he sounded really nice."
    "He was helpful." My words are clipped. I don’t want to delve into the personal details of my relationship with Ben.
    She taps her hand on the edge of my desk. "Is he accepting new patients?"
    I purse my lips together. I have to wonder if she's asking because she's nursing a pain or a stubborn cough that won't go away or if her interest in Ben falls beyond the scope of what he can offer in his office. "I have no idea."
    "What's his name again?" She skims her finger across the screen of her smart phone.
    "Dr. Foster," I say slowly. "His name is Dr. Ben Foster."
    She taps something into her phone before she turns to walk away. "Thanks, Kayla. I'll give him a call."
    As I watch her walk away my mind instantly wanders to thoughts about how many other women search Ben out to find out exactly how thorough his bedside manner is.
     

Chapter 12
     
    "How often do you fuck your patients?" The words sound less hostile coming out through a moan. This isn't the time to talk about this. I shouldn't be thinking of any other woman. I shouldn't be…
    "Kayla," he spits my name out between heavy thrusts. "I'm fucking you."
    He is fucking me. It's hard and slow. I'm on my back, his large frame hovering above me as he leisurely slides his cock into me, over and over again.
    "Harder," I beg.
    The friction is pushing me to the edge quickly. He ate me as soon as I let him into my apartment. He was on his knees, my back splayed against the door, my skirt a twisted mess around my waist as he buried his tongue inside of me, pulling my lust from within, pouring it onto his tongue.
    "You're so tight." He growls the words into my neck. His tongue is tearing a path across my flesh. "Your cunt is so wet."
    My hips buck involuntarily at the words. He's so direct and uninhibited. His body owns his pleasure and he's not afraid to take what he wants. I've never been with a man who is so commanding in bed. I've never felt my desire heightened to this extreme. This is a man made to fuck women, hard and senseless.
    "I'm going to come again," I spit the words out into his shoulder. "It feels too good."
    "It's so good." He pumps harder. His cock plunges deep with each lunge.
    I cry out as I feel my body tense. I hold steady to his shoulders, knowing that if I let go, my body will betray me. I'll flail helplessly. I won't be able to control its instinctive reaction. I'll be lost and I'll miss my chance to enjoy his release.
    He watches my face intently as I come. His lips part slightly, his tongue darts over them. "You're so beautiful when you come."
    I stare at him, challenging him with a deep movement of my hips. "Come, Ben."
    "Not yet." The movement of his head mirrors his words. "I don't want it to end."
    I push harder, grinding my heels into the bed. "I've never been fucked like this before."
    His eyes widen, his breathing stalls and he drops a litany of curse words from his lips as he pumps his hips into me.

    "What kind of a doctor are you?" I pull the sheet over my breasts as I watch him toss the condom in a wastebasket in the corner of my bedroom.
    He turns his head sharply; the grin on his face is disarming. "A very good one."
    I don't doubt that. He has a compassionate edge to him that I haven't noticed in Noah. I have seen small flashes of concern in his gestures and the way he cares for Alexa, but Noah has built walls around himself emotionally because of the stabbing. Ben doesn't have those same restraints.  I don't push the issue. It's not pressing on my mind like other questions are right now. "When will you talk to Noah?"
    "I thought we were talking about me." His tone is teasing in an abstract way. He's preoccupied. I can sense it by the way he's reaching for his smartphone.
    "I want to
