blush spread across her cheeks. Beautiful. She was a beautiful girl. He found her expressive face very compelling and couldn’t help absorbing every nuance.
    She was plain by his standards, but her remarkable feature was her radiant brown and gold eyes. They, combined with her high cheekbones and pouty lips, made her face uniquely appealing. And the beautiful cascade of dark hair that fell onto her back framed that lovely face. He could clearly imagine that hair wrapped around his fist. Chiding himself for his wayward thoughts, he bobbed his chin at her bandaged forearm.
    “How’s your arm? ”
    “ Better, thank you.”
    He smiled, his eyes eagerly returning to her face.
    “How long have you been at WMH?”
    “ Two years.”
    “I’d never seen you before last night.”
    “I work the night shift. You usually make rounds after I leave.”
    “ Too bad. The nurses love me.” He winked, teasing.
    She smiled wide then and it was as stunning as petals unfurling to their full magnificence.
    “They do, right?” he prodded in humor, fully aware of his reputation.
    “Ah…well. I plead the fifth.”
    He affected surprise and chuckled, happy to see her coming out of her shell.
    “I’ll leave it to you to start my fan club then.”
    He saw her gaze drift towards his lips again and couldn’t help but smile. Even with her puritanical appearance and reserved demeanor, her furtive glances gave her away. What was she thinking?
    “Would you like something to drink?”
    She nodded towards his desk. “What else do you have in your drawers?” She suddenly looked up, their gazes locked and the smile vanished from her face.
    His lips t eetered in a half smile. He knew what she’d meant, but the fact that she’d made the slip and their brains had detoured along the same path stirred his cock to life. Interesting. So…she’d been wondering what was in my drawers… Though the utter look of mortification on her face was enough to redirect his derailed train of thought. He searched for something to say, seeing that she was ready to bolt.
    “I …I have to go. My shift is starting. I don’t want to be late.” She rose from her seat.
    “Wait !” He pushed up from his chair just as the phone on his desk rang.
    Thinking it was Bea, he hit the speaker button. He wanted to tell her to call Nurse Wall to inform her that Chloe was still in her meeting and would be a few minutes late.
    “Brad, darling! You left so quickly last night, you horny beast!” The sultry voice oozed out of the speaker and Brad felt his gut clench.
    Oh, fuck…
    He slapped the speaker button on his phone like he was squashing an irritating bug, effectively cutting off Diane’s voice. He cursed again under his breath, promising to kill his secretary. Already Chloe had reached the door and was pulling it open.
    He quickly followed her into the hall, right past Bea’s desk.
    “Chloe, wait! ”
    She turned and pivoted at the steely command of his voice, her eyes wide and round.
    He stopped directly in front of her, his tall body dwarfing hers, and for the life of him couldn’t think of a damn thing to say. He looked into those beautiful, startled eyes and the words gathered in his throat as she stole every breath away.
    “Thank you for coming in early,” h e said at length, hearing the hollowness ring through his voice. It wasn’t as though she’d been given a choice.
    She nodded, then turned and fled the office, leaving him standing there , scratching his chin and wondering what the hell was wrong with him.
    It was the distinctive cluck of a tongue that caused him to turn and glare furiou sly at his secretary. Bea, apparently seeing the storm on his face, had the good sense to bite back whatever barb was ready on her tongue. Brad marched over to her desk, and bracing his palms on it, leaned in angrily.
    “I told you not to put anyone through to me!”
    Bea did the head snakey thing that he hated and held up an index finger. “No, you didn’t! You
