Three days later, Jessica was about to lose her mind. Ben was leaving her alone. Just like she’d wanted. Supposedly.

If they didn’t sleep together, she didn’t have to worry about falling for him any further and then being heartbroken when he didn’t live up to her standards.

So, why was she so annoyed that he hadn’t asked her to go home with him even once in the past three days?

Because of the supply closet.

The supply closet had convinced her that she wanted to have mind-blowing, I’ll-never-fully-recover sex with him and she’d worry about the consequences later.

And now he was leaving her alone.

Kind of. He was definitely not ignoring her. They talked about everything under the sun. But he never even made an innuendo about sex.

It all made her want it even more. She was the type of person who—once she made

up her mind about something—wanted to get it done. Ben was definitely something she wanted to do.

Since Russ insisted she do whatever necessary to keep track of Ben, she’d taken the last three days off. While Ben worked at the coffee shop for a few hours each morning during the rush, she worked on her to-do list at the center. Then, when Ben came to the center after his shift, she could spend her time with him. Purely to keep him out of trouble, of course.

That didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy the time spent though did it?

She tried to enjoy it anyway. Ben just wasn’t cooperating. She liked talking to him. She liked making him laugh. She liked watching him interact with the kids. But she would have preferred a lot more of his hands and lips on her.

She tried teasing and flirting with him, but he always changed the subject. Quickly and so bluntly it was laughable. Except she didn’t find it funny in the least.

He’d give in to the kisses when she caught him alone, somewhere the kids wouldn’t see them. In those moments he would hesitate for a few seconds, then all at once his lips and hands would be all over her, as if he couldn’t get enough. Eventually, though, he would pull back, long before she was ready for him to, and he’d distance himself from her for a while, diving into a school project with some of the girls, or a game of basketball with the boys.

Oh, he was very sweet. He told her she was beautiful. He told her she was great with the kids. He brought her cups of her favorite coffee from Cup O’ Joe. He brought more medical supplies for the clinic. He stitched up two more fight-night participants without argument or question, and he treated at least three patients a day who kept showing up when the neighborhood heard there was a doctor hanging out locally.

But he never asked her to go home with him. He never asked to go home with her. He never mentioned a hotel. Or even the backseat of his car. Or a return to the supply closet.
