It took all the strength he could muster not to jump up and down and shout at the top of his lungs. April wasn’t as immune to him as she’d led him to believe.

Drew lifted her hands and held them close to his chest. She could probably feel the way his heart raced, but he didn’t care. He was over the moon with her admission. “You don’t realize how much that makes me want to race you out of here right now. I would cheerfully ditch my last few appointments to have the time alone with you.”

“We both know you’d never do that to your patients, Drew.”

“You’re right, but the thought is there. I’ll have to wait until we’re alone to show you how that makes me feel.”

“Can we please not rush this? There are things you don’t understand about me. Things we need to talk about…

“I don’t care. I know who you are, April—the real you. What you did before you came home isn’t important.”

“It is. I did things I’m not proud of.”

He pulled her close, and held her in his arms as if he was afraid to let her go. “I don’t care. We can work through those problems if and when they come up. It’s not important. All I care about is right here in my arms.”

“What about the children?”

“They’re part of you. Why wouldn’t I want them too?”

“But they’re another man’s. Not everyone can cope with taking that on.” She pulled back. “I don’t want to run into a relationship that might not work now we’re older and supposedly wiser.”

“I told you what I want and I said that knowing you have the children. We both had a life the last fifteen years, April, but that’s how it goes. I haven’t exactly been the retiring virgin myself.” He smiled and wiped his thumb over her bottom lip. “I’m not letting you go that easily, not again. The kids and I will get on fine, I’m sure of that. Leo is already getting under my skin and I can see a lot of you in him. Tilly seems to be warming to me as well. As for you and me and what we may have done, nothing we can’t deal with, I’m sure.”

“We will see.”

The phone on her desk rang and she picked it up, listened a moment then hung up. “Nancy has your next patient waiting.”

“Thanks, we’ll continue this later. I’ll see you at home shortly then.” He wrapped her in his arms, leaned in, and ran his tongue over the cupid bow of her top lip and watched the heat shimmer in her eyes. It gave his heart a jolt to know he still had that kind of effect on her. She sighed into his mouth and he took advantage of her willingness to kiss her soundly. It took all of his will power to step back from her and leave the room, but knowing how she felt made it easier.
