Chapter Six

Give me one night.

Jasmine stared at the note in her hand, pondering just when Ethan had slipped in and out of her office without anyone noticing. Running her fingers over the four words, memories of the kiss they shared a few nights ago surfaced. Her lips tingled as she recalled how his firm mouth felt against her soft one, and the way he’d held her firmly to him.

One night.

If she dared sleep with Ethan, would she regret it later? Would their interactions at the practice become more awkward? She sighed. It’d be just one night. How weird would it be to see him at the practice every day after she spent a whole night in his arms? What did she have to lose? What would she gain? Her reputation would be on the line in exchange for a night in Ethan Sinclair’s bed. Was it worth it?

Her body temperature rose almost instantaneously at the thought of him kissing her, caressing her, whispering meaningless words in her ear as he drove into her. A shudder passed through her, settling low in her belly. Jasmine pressed her legs together, ignoring the growing ache in her sex. The hands on the wall clock changed to eight o’clock, reminding her everyone in the practice had been gone for a few hours now. Still holding the small note, Jasmine closed the programs in her laptop, getting ready to head home.

Her office door swung open, startling her. Relief washed over the sudden panic in her chest when she met Ethan’s gaze. “I thought you were gone.”

“You thought wrong.” The door closed behind him as he approached her.

Her pulse quickened and she swallowed. “What are you doing here?”

“That’s not exactly the kind of greeting I expected,” he said, rounding her desk.

Shutting the lid of her laptop, Jasmine rose. “Just what kind of greeting did you expect?”

“Hi. How are you? It’s good to see you. That sort of thing.” His large hand covered hers, sending an explosive current straight to her sex. Ethan drew her to him and placed a hand on the small of her back. “Do you have any idea of the hell I’ve had trying not to think about you these past few days?”

That made two of them. It wouldn’t do his ego any good if he knew the hell she’d been through trying to erase his kiss from her memory. “You haven’t tried hard enough.”

“Perhaps.”

His nearness overwhelmed her, and breathing became a chore as his searing gaze searched her face.

“You shouldn’t be here.”

“But I want to be.” His fingers dug on her waist as he pulled her closer toward him until she stood between his legs.

“You don’t give up easily, do you?”

His lips twisted into a grin. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

“You—” Jasmine pressed a finger to his steely chest. “—and I, are never going to happen.”

“Jas, we are happening.” Ethan leaned forward and stopped right before his lips touched hers.

“Men like you leave nasty scars that even the best plastic surgeon can’t make disappear,” she said, dropping her gaze to his lips.
