If Kayla kept rubbing her soft body against his like she was doing now, he was going to have a tough time walking back across the street to his own house.

He knew he had to slow things down, but that didn’t stop him from enjoying the motion of her lips stilling softly under his.

“I’ll carry the kid up,” he said into her hair. “That is if I can stand.”

She chuckled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “I can’t feel my legs.” She sighed next to his ear.

“Good, then I was doing it right.”

Another chuckle had him closing his eyes with the sweet sound.

“Okay, seriously. I’m suffering here.” He shifted in the chair. “Do you know how hard it is not to carry you upstairs right now?”

She pulled back and slowly got off his lap. The look in her eyes and the smile on her lips told him she did know how hard everything was.

He took a couple cleansing breaths before picking up the sleeping kid and following Kayla up the stairs to deposit the boy in his bed.

“He sleeps like a rock.” He set the kid down as Kayla started putting Superman pj’s on the limp boy.

“Yeah, he gets it from me,” she said absently as she worked.

“That cast should be coming off in a few weeks. It’s not giving him any problems, is it?”

“No, he likes this one better than the first one. I think his arm grew, and the first one was too tight.”

When she was done changing the kid and tucking him in, he took her hand and pulled her out of the dark room.

He didn’t stop tugging her until they sat on the long bench under the windows on the stair landing.

“I know I asked this before, but how did he break his arm?”

She glanced down at her hands. “He fell.” She repeated the simple words again.

“Kayla, I’ve been a doctor for a few years now. Before having my own practice, I worked in the ER in Chicago. I’ve seen a lot of different breaks.”

He was silent, since he decided he’d let her tell him what he knew already in his professional opinion.

“He did fall,” she said slowly, “but he was pushed first. Chad isn’t… has never been patient.”

“Is that why you left?” he asked. He’d already guessed what had happened, and he’d thought of a million ways to seriously maim the man.

“No, I was leaving before… We had already packed up to go.”

“What happened?”

She shifted and he allowed her to get more comfortable.

“Like I said, I met Chad one night while I was going out with some girlfriends in New York. The school term had just finished and we were celebrating.” She shook her head. “We had what I thought was a one-night-stand, my first. But he’d gotten my phone number, I guess when I was asleep. He started calling and texting me and, at first, I thought it was sweet. Then I found out I was pregnant.” She tucked her legs under her and continued.
