CHAPTER ELEVEN

“Someone’s in a good mood today,” Larissa remarked, when Brooke walked into the clinic a short while later.

“It’s a bright, sunny morning,” she said, grateful that she had the weather as a ready excuse. Because even if it had been gray and gloomy, she wouldn’t have been able to stop smiling, and she didn’t know how she would have explained her euphoria then.

She could hardly admit that she was feeling happy and relaxed because Patrick Stafford had given her multiple orgasms multiple times over the span of the ten hours she’d spent with him. Or that she’d been sincerely reluctant to leave his bed.

She wished she could have stayed.

Or that she could go back.

But she was the one who’d made the rules. She was the one who’d insisted that one night would be enough. It didn’t matter that she’d been wrong—she couldn’t backtrack now.

And with Ranger’s injury healed, she didn’t even have the stallion as an excuse to stop by. And if Patrick sent her a vague text message about a potential problem at the ranch, she was going to ask for some specifics before she raced over there again.

Probably.

“How was your dinner at The Home Station last night?” she asked, when she found Courtney prepping the room for their first surgery.

“Amazing,” the vet tech immediately replied. “And so romantic. The food was unbelievably good, with a different wine pairing for each course. Plus, there was candlelight and soft music.”

“It sounds amazing,” Brooke agreed. And though there was a part of her that hoped to dine in the fancy restaurant one day, she’d been satisfied with the omelet she’d had for dinner—and more than satisfied with everything before and after.

Thankfully, she managed to put those memories and the man out of her mind to focus on treating her animal patients. She also exchanged pleasantries with and offered reassurances to their human companions.

She had five surgeries scheduled, including two spays, a neuter, repair of a strangulated umbilical hernia in a pet lamb and the extraction of three rotted teeth from a nine-year-old Yorkshire terrier. Everything went according to plan except the second spay surgery, which she had to postpone when the pre-op exam revealed that the owners of the fifteen-month-old French bulldog had waited too long to book the procedure. Little Lulu was already pregnant.

Patrick didn’t mind getting an earlier than usual start to his day. Then again, who would complain about waking up with a warm and willing woman in his arms?

In fact, he was in such a good mood, he caught himself whistling as he mucked out stalls and fed the animals. After that, he spent some time playing with the dog and even used the brush Brooke had left for grooming. Princess didn’t just accept the attention but seemed to revel in it, and he found himself wondering again how anyone could have let her go.

He returned to the house to answer emails, do some banking and check the updated version of the Silver Star
