When Tessa was done, she came out, freshly showered and blood-free, swallowed by my scrubs. I handed her Lucy’s leash and then found a bag to put her dirty clothes in. “I’m going to take you and Lucy home,” I said. “After what just happened, you need the day off. Wait for me in the break area. I’m going to check on the woman, and then we’ll get out of here, all right?”
Tessa nodded and then abruptly threw her arms around me in a hug. “Evan… I… thanks,” she said, before she had Lucy headed for the break room.

Tessa
“Turn right here,” I instructed.
Evan turned into the parking lot of my apartment complex. Seeing that we were home, Lucy stood in the backseat, poked her head out the window, and began wagging her tail.
“Thank you so much,” I said, unfastening my seatbelt.
“Not a problem,” Evan said.
We stared at each other for a moment. I wanted nothing more than to invite him inside, but I didn’t want to seem too forward and needy. He had already done enough for me. And for Lucy too.
I opened the passenger’s side door, climbed out, and then opened the backseat door to let Lucy hop out.
I looked up in surprise when I heard the driver’s side door open and close. Evan stood, watching me retrieve Lucy. He stuffed his hands into his pockets. “Don’t mind if I walk you ladies inside, do you?” he asked.
“No. No, not at all.”
Evan followed us up to our apartment. As we stood outside the door with Lucy panting beside us, I pulled out my keys and desperately tried to remember the condition I had left things in before I leaving that morning. I hoped the place wasn’t too much of a mess.
I pushed the door open and breathed a sigh of relief seeing that at least the front of my apartment didn’t look too bad.
I tossed my keys onto the table and closed the door behind us. “I really appreciate this, Evan. Take a seat. Make yourself at home.”
Evan cleared his throat and headed to the couch, where he sat down and looked around at the surroundings I called home.
I headed to the kitchen to get Lucy some fresh water. “Do you want anything?” I called out to Evan. For a moment I knew exactly what he probably wanted, me.
“Uh…sure. I’ll take some water too.”
I returned with a cup of cold water. “Let me change and give you your uniform back.”
Evan smirked. “There’s no rush. It looks good on you.”
“Ha ha.” I held my arms up, showing how long the sleeves were. “I’m going to get lost in this thing.”
He chuckled and took a sip of water, right as Lucy trotted back towards us. She sat at his feet and he began to scratch her behind the ears.
“Be right back,” I said.
I hurried off to my bedroom, which was far less tidy than the rest of the apartment. Hastily, I shoved my piles of dirty clothes into the hamper and closet—wherever they would fit. And then I searched my drawer for something to put on, quickly realizing I was putting far too much thought into it. So finally, I settled for a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Something casual. Something easy to take off.
I neatly folded Evan’s uniform and returned to the living room, where he waited. “Here you go.”
He took the uniform and set it in front of him on the table. I sat down beside him. For a moment, we locked eyes again. A tingle went up my spine and I looked away. I so badly wanted to touch him…
So I settled for touching Lucy instead. She rested her head on my knee.
“Beautiful dog,” Evan said.
“Thank you.”
An awkward silence stretched between us. As I stared down at Lucy, I could feel Evan staring at me.
“How are you holding up?” he asked after a while.
I shrugged my shoulders. “Fine, I guess.”
“Have you ever had a patient die?”
I swallowed. “No—not on my watch. I’ve seen it from afar, but…”
“Never as close as what almost happened today.”
I nodded.
“Well, you can take comfort in knowing that she’s going to be fine. Your quick thinking saved her life. That’s something to be proud of.” He rubbed my back in what initially started off as a comforting gestured before he began to trail his fingers along my spine. I fought not to arch my back at his touch. He then lightly brushed my hair, and then returned his hands to his own lap. “Well…I just wanted to make sure you made it in safely, and that you were all right.”
I felt a panic rising inside of me. There was a tone of finality in his voice, but I didn’t want him to leave yet. Lucy too, must have noticed his tone, she got up and retreated to the back of the apartment, where her bed was located, ready for a nap after the day’s excitement.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Evan motioning to get up. I placed my hand on his knee and he paused.
“Are you in a hurry?” I asked.
It took him a moment to answer, but when he did, he shook his head. “No. I just don’t want to overstay my welcome.”
“Let me be the judge of that then,” I said with a shaky smile. My emotions were a rollercoaster, and the one thing I knew for certain was that I didn’t want to be alone.
I also couldn’t seem to remove my hand for Evan’s knee. He covered it with his own hand, and if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought I felt a spark of electricity.
He was just too handsome for his own good…
With my other hand, I brushed through his hair. He leaned in at my touch, and kissed my forehead. And then my nose…
And then he stopped, his mouth just inches away from mine.
I rested my head on his shoulders, breathing in the scent at the crook of his neck. And then I kissed his neck, unable to stop myself. A low groan sounded from Evan’s throat.
“Tessa,” he whispered.
But I couldn’t resist him. I couldn’t keep my hands off him. Whatever he had to say would have to wait, I hungrily cut off his words with a kiss, pleased to see that he had no objections about returning it.
CHAPTER 16
Tessa
The next moment, he pulled me to him and kissed me, taking my breath away as our tongues worked their way into each other’s mouth. His hands slid down my back and cupped my ass, pulling me flush against his body. He was already hard for me, and I couldn’t resist grinding against him, desperate to feel him.
“Tessa,” he muttered in between our kisses, still kissing me wildly. “You have no idea how much I wanted you. I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”
I encircled my arms around his neck and kept kissing him, so happy to hear this but at the same time scared. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. All I’d been thinking about these days at the hospital was him and everything he made me feel, and I couldn’t get used to it at all.
“I just want you so much,” he murmured into my skin. “I wanted to do this slowly, but I can’t.”
“This?”
“Yes. This.” His eyes were filled with lust, and his erection was clearly visible through his scrubs.
He brought me to his lap. I straddled him, my shorts going up my thighs, and his eyes immediately fell on my naked skin. He placed his hands on my calves and slid them slowly up, making me shiver. He stopped right below the hem of my shorts and squeezed my upper thighs.
“You’re so beautiful,” he murmured and buried his head in my neck. He started sucking my skin and licking it, creating a hot mess inside of me.
I bit his lower lip and sucked it gently. He moaned.
Actually, there were so many things about him that I already liked and enjoyed, and I wasn’t sure how good that was. He pulled off my t-shirt and threw it to the side.
“Not wearing any bra, huh?” He grinned. “The things you do to me.”
His hands found my breasts, and I was already melting under his touch. He was so good, and I’d never been this turned on in my life, but everything was happening so fast. I wasn
’t sure how smart it was to let these emotions get the best of me...
He closed his lips around my nipple, and all my doubts just disappeared. I couldn’t think about anything but the pure pleasure he was giving me, and I arched my back—impatient to feel more.
As if he read my mind, he moved his hand underneath my shorts and stopped it on my pussy. He pulled my undies aside and rubbed my clit, watching me intently. I bit into my lip and returned his heated gaze, pushing my mound closer to his hand.
“What do you want, Tessa?”
“I want you to touch me.”
“How?”
“Make me come.”
His eyes grew dark and his breathing became labored. “Hell,” he muttered and pushed his fingers through my wet folds. He moved his fingers around my swollen entrance, teasing me before he finally plunged inside. His two fingers easily slid inside, and I started moving, thrusting my hips so his fingers would enter me deeper. He licked his lips. “Mmm, you want my fingers that much?”
“I want everything. I want your fingers, your mouth, your cock—everything,” I breathed out, closing my eyes for a moment when I felt a shot of pleasure burst through me.
“Tessa,” he growled, his face taut with tension. He wanted me so badly, and he was barely restraining himself.
He added another finger, but it was still not enough. “More.”
“More?”
“Another finger.”
“Damn.” He added the fourth finger, and he was fucking me so roughly now that my juices gushed out of my pussy and soaked his lap.
I was close to my orgasm, but this still wasn’t enough. “More,” I gritted out.
He hissed, pulled his fingers out of my pussy, and moved me off his lap, finally losing his control. He pushed me to the carpet and turned me around so I was on all fours. The next moment he removed my shorts and undies from me, leaving me completely naked.
“You will get more,” he grunted and took off his scrubs in a few swift moves. A few seconds later he was already behind me, his cock with a condom pressing against my entrance. He slapped my ass as he slid inside, a mix of pain and pleasure making everything much more intense.
He brought his hand to my hair and moved his hand through it, grabbing a strand and wrapping it around his hand. He pulled me by hair and brought my upper body flush against his chest, moving roughly inside of me. His other hand grasped my breast and played with its hard, sensitive bud.
“Evan,” I cried out.
“You are so naughty.” He didn’t know just how much that was true. I needed him, to fill me more and more, and I loved it and was terrified of it at the same time. It felt like he was made for me, and I’d never believed I would get to experience such an intense, mind-blowing pleasure—to the point of not being able to think about anything but those amazing sensations in me.
“Yes!”
He moved faster now, bringing me wave after wave of burning pleasure, and I was seconds away from exploding...
“Evan!” I screamed and came hard, my pussy convulsing several times around his hard cock.
“Tessa, yes...” He groaned.
He pulled out of me and brought us to our feet. He pulled me to his windows and he pushed me against the glass and thrust into me from behind.
“Yes, Evan... this is... this is amazing...”
There was something unbelievably erotic in fucking against the windows where anyone could see us. I felt daring, and it just made my pussy throb more, soaking us both.
He brought his hand around my neck and held it firmly, while keeping me in place with his arm around my waist. His cock was pounding me fast and I was left breathless when the pleasure reached its peak and my orgasm left me screaming and squirming on his dick.
“Yes, come for me,” he murmured into my ear, continuing his merciless rhythm as soon as my aftershocks passed.
I screamed and braced myself against the cold glass as he found a new angle in me that made me feel an even more intense pleasure, and even though I was looking at the buildings of the city in front of me, I didn’t actually see anything, only aware of his cock buried deep in me.
“Evan, don’t stop! Please, don’t stop!”
“Don’t worry. I have the whole day and night with you. Remember, I’m used to staying up all night.”
“Yes...” my voice was uneven as I felt another orgasm approaching, and this time I started meeting his thrusts with my own, our hips clashing madly against each other as I reached my climax. “Evan!” I moaned, feeling my juices trickling down my legs.
The next moment he pulled out of me and knelt on the floor, bringing his mouth to my pussy. My eyes widened when he started collecting my wetness with his tongue, moving it against my sensitive flesh. “What are you doing?” I cried out, clenching my jaw hard because it was so good, even though I’d just came.
“Feasting,” he said and pushed his tongue into my mound. I was already shaking so hard and burning. He was eating me out so good, touching all the right places with his soft and wet mouth, and several seconds later I fell apart again, my whole body shuddering.
“This was amazing,” he said. “You are amazing, and now I want you even more.” He brought me to his lips, kissing me passionately, and everything tightened in me.
I also wanted him more—more than ever.
I knew he had a dark past, but we all had secrets. We had one together.
To Hell with the no fraternizing policy.
I needed Dr. Evan Sholly, and there was nowhere else I would rather be right now than here—in his strong, safe arms.
CHAPTER 17
Tessa
When I woke up the next morning Evan was gone. He probably needed to shower and get new scrubs from his place, I told myself.
But Evan had been right; I certainly needed that mental-health day off from work. Not to mention all the wild sex. That certainly worked my stress away.
When I returned the following day, I felt a lot more refreshed and focused. I arrived early, having made the decision to pay the woman from the day before a visit.
Outside of her room, I knocked on the door a few times before pushing it open. The woman—Louisa—was inside, lying in bed, watching television.
“Good morning, Louisa,” I said.
She smiled. “Good morning.”
I approached her bedside. The side of her head was bandaged, but otherwise, she looked fine. “You may not remember me, but—”
“Tessa Kennery?” she said, sitting up in bed.
“Yes.”
She smiled wider and extended her hand. “Looks like a thank you is in order. A handsome doctor told me yesterday that a highly skilled nurse named Tessa Kennery had been in the right place at the right time, and had saved my life.”
I clasped the woman’s hand. “I was just doing my job. I’m so happy to see that you are doing well.”
“All thanks to you.”
We chatted for a moment longer and then I excused myself, seeing that it was almost time for me to start my shift. I wanted to see Evan first though, yet, he was nowhere to be found.
I decided to check the on-call room. When I saw that he wasn’t there either, I headed to the break room. Visions and memories of the day before with him danced through my head, making me quiver. I honestly couldn’t remember the last time anyone had made me feel this way. It was simultaneously exciting and terrifying. I couldn’t help thinking that things had moved entirely too fast between me and Evan, but the passion and connection we felt for one another just couldn’t be contained.
It couldn’t be controlled.
It couldn’t be slowed.
The time between our awkward introduction, up until now, had been something of a whirlwind for both of us.
The door to the break room swung open, and for one hopeful moment, I thought it was Evan. But instead, Molly walked in.
“Morning, doll!” she said.
“Hey Molly.”
“So, I heard you got a day off
yesterday for playing hero.”
I smirked. “It was nothing.”
“Ever so modest.” Molly got a pop-tart from the vending machine and then turned to me with an all-too-knowing gleam in her eyes. “You catch up with Evan?”
I pressed my lips together, trying hard to fight back the smile that naturally wanted to present itself at the sound of his name. Molly laughed and clapped her hands together.
“Shh!” I said, casting a panicked look around the room although we were alone.
“Shh, nothing!” Molly said. “I want some details! I heard he all but caused a scene over you yesterday. I was busy with Dr. Newman, so I missed it all. Had to hear it through the grapevine. When I heard you’d taken the day off, I almost decided to call you. But then someone told me that you’d left with Evan, so I figured you might have been busy.”
“So busy,” I laughed.
Molly pulled out a chair and motioned for me to sit beside her as she opened her strawberry pop-tart. “So—what’s the verdict? First impressions aren’t always lasting impressions, eh?”
I shook my head. “I guess not. I’ve never had a first impression proven so wrong in my life. Evan is…intense. And wonderful.”
“Look at you, sounding all smitten.”
“I am,” I said, feeling another blush coming forth. “It’s scary, actually.”
“Scary? What’s scary about it? Tall, dark, and handsome. NAVY Doctor. Girl, that’s what you call the jackpot!”
“But it’s all happening so quickly.”
“Feels too good to be true, huh?”
“Exactly. But us working together.”
“Well, the only thing to do is wait it out and see what happens. Think of it like an amusement park—sometimes the best rides are fast!”
Molly and I descended into a fit of giggles. “You are a mess,” I said.
“So I’ve been told. And don’t worry about this place, your secret is safe with me.” She took another bite of her pop-tart and then checked her watch. “What are you doing here so early anyway?”
“I wanted to check on the woman from yesterday. She’s doing good. She’s in recovery now.”
“What exactly happened with that again?”
