CHAPTER TWELVE

Elaina was a good patient, Greg noted as he stood to the side, watching as she followed the technician’s instructions, sliding up on the table, lifting her shirt, lowering her waistband. A lot of doctors weren’t good patients—himself included.

The fact that Elaina was didn’t surprise him. She was kind and gracious and good at everything she set out to do, from what he could see.

Her home—their home, at least for now—wasn’t just clean, it also smelled fresh. Good. Like a spring day, not like the antiseptic that greeted him at his office door each day. And the decor, while understated, was warm. Welcoming. Every single piece, from a small collection of decorative angels in various mediums set up on a china hutch, to a painted wooden sign with floral design and words that proclaimed that family lived there, seemed deliberately chosen to embody peace and love. Even the colors, soft oranges, reds, golds, wrapped him in a feeling of acceptance.

Of belonging to something good.

All of which he thought about to distract himself from the sight of smooth skin that he knew tasted slightly salty with a hint of sweet and a belly button he’d slid his tongue into more times than he could count. He got hard just thinking about how putting his tongue there made her hips squirm.

Less than a minute in the room and his penis was standing at attention. In a pair of jeans. Pulling the edge of his shirt as low as it would go, he looked around at the instruments in the room, the monitor. The camera that the technician held. The gel she was squeezing onto Elaina’s belly.

And, God help him, thought about the gel Elaina had used to massage him right where he ached at the moment.

He could hear the technician telling them what she’d be doing, was doing, pointing to the monitor, and he had to wonder if she’d checked Elaina’s chart and if she knew that she was talking to a radiologist and an MD.

The woman lowered her camera to the gel on Elaina’s belly, sliding it around, and suddenly, Greg had no focus at all except the monitor, assessing every single shape of shadow and light. Noting at once that all of the formations were exactly as they should be. After that first bit of confirmation, he glanced at Elaina, meaning to get right back to the screen he was studying, but he couldn’t look away from the slight flush on Elaina’s cheeks, the uplifted tilt of lips that were trembling, and the glisten in her eyes.

She’d never been more beautiful to him.

And more inaccessible, either.

“I know it’s silly, but I’m going to make it my text message notification sound. I’m calling it my heartbeat song.” Phone in hand, tapping and thumb-typing, Elaina walked with Greg through the parking lot toward her car, frenetic, needing to pee and unable to slow down. She had to get back to work. But she just couldn’t stop listening to the steady rhythm that she and Greg had just heard moments before.
