The next few weeks flew by as Kit and Hunter kept up a grinding pace with work and a secret life outside the office. Surgeries on horses, physical therapy for Great Danes, and a cow with a serious kidney infection. But work was followed by dinners in Kit’s apartment, movie nights at Hunter’s house, and a few more of those very satisfying picnics on the empty acreage of Hunter’s family’s ranch. Every morning when Kit walked into work, she had a smile that couldn’t be erased, along with a new memory to hold on to when she went back to Houston.

“There’s the second most cheerful person I know,” the receptionist remarked one Thursday morning.

Kit grinned as she picked up a stack of Hunter’s mail and began to sort it according to priority. “And who’s the first?”

“The doctor himself. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so cheerful as I have recently.” She gave Kit an appraising glance. Kit sobered immediately.

“He just has too many animals for a solo practitioner,” Kit said. “I think he’s been happy to have another set of hands.”

The phone rang, and the receptionist answered it while Kit continued to the rear of the building where Hunter was at his desk preparing for the day’s appointments.

“Good morning,” Kit said as she walked in and closed the door behind her.

Hunter looked up, and even though he maintained a neutral expression, his gaze was so hot, it was all Kit could do to refrain from throwing herself at him across the desk.

“Good morning.” His voice was deep, nearly as sizzling as his gaze. “Though it was a lot better two hours ago,” he murmured, looking back at his computer screen as if he hadn’t just reminded her of how he’d woken her up, his mouth between her legs, his hands on her breasts.

She cleared her throat, one eyebrow raised, and sat in an armchair facing his desk.

“You’re starting to make your staff suspicious, Doctor,” she said. “You’re too damn happy.”

He scoffed, tapping rapidly on his keyboard before shifting his gaze back to her. “They used to complain I wasn’t happy enough. Can’t seem to please them.”

She struggled to quell the urge to go to him, dig her fingers into his soft, thick hair, and kiss him witless.

“They noticed I’m extra happy, too.”

Hunter’s brow furrowed. “Do you think they’re on to us?”

“Maybe? It was hard to tell, but I guess we should be more careful.” She sighed. Careful was a drag. Especially when someone as sexy as Hunter was part of the equation.

Hunter outright scowled then. “I’m not sure how much more careful we can be. I sneak over to your place like a damn pervert in the pitch black every night. I even walk so no one sees my car parked outside. It’s ridiculous.”

He stood and eased around the desk, grabbing her hand and pulling her up until she was pressed against him, head to toe.

“I want to take you out to dinner,” he murmured, gazing at her. “Show you off at a bar.
