Chapter 9

“I can’t feel my legs,” Caitlin whispered, but she wasn’t worried. “But you’re a doctor, so you can probably fix me, right?”

His laughter caught her by surprise. “What’s so funny?” She trailed the tips of her fingers along the firm muscles of his back. It was hard to work up any temper when she felt so loose, so limber, so happy being in love. Meg was right—she loved Jack.

When he kept laughing and didn’t answer her, she nipped his shoulder to get his attention.

He braced his hands on the couch and pushed back, his biceps taut from holding his weight off of her. The strength in his upper body reminded her of the way he’d held back so she’d find fulfillment first. A generous lover.

When he smiled down at her, she felt all warm and gooey inside. “You’re so beautiful.”

His smile turned to one that reeked of satisfied male. “Not even half as beautiful as you,” he rasped, bracing his weight on one arm to smooth a strand of hair out of her eyes.

Her belly clutched and fresh need sprinted through her. “If the other ladies in town knew how talented you are—” she began, only to close her mouth at his frown.

“You planning on taking out an ad in the Gazette?”

She let her finger slide over his breastbone and down to his navel. “Maybe,” she admitted. “But then everyone would want a turn and you’d be too tired to make love with me.”

He was chuckling as he lay back down and shifted so she was on top. “I’m too heavy for you.”

“You felt just right,” she said, leaning down to press her lips to his chin. “And for the record, I’m not telling anyone how talented you are because I want to keep you all to myself.”

“Is that a promise?”

She leaned back and made an X over her heart. “Promise.”

“Works for me,” he said. “Now about that talent…”

Jack woke when a cold wet nose pressed against his side. “Hey, boy.” When Jamie whined, he shifted a sleeping Caitlin onto her side and got up to let the dog out.

After Jamie peed, Jack opened the door and nearly walked into Caitlin. “Whoa,” he said, steadying her. “What’s wrong?”

“I woke up when I got chilly.” Brushing a hand over his shoulder, she smiled and his heart tumbled further toward love. “Did we scar him for life?”

He chuckled at her reference to making love in front of the dog. “I think he’s impressed by my mad skills.”

Her delighted laughter wrapped around his heart, tugging him the rest of the way into love. “I wish you could stay the night.”

Jack pulled her against him and reveled in the feel of her whisper-soft skin slowly heating against his. “I love the way you feel in my arms. If I talk to your father, do you think he’d let you stay?”

“So his darling daughter could engage in another mind-boggling bout of heart-stopping sex?”

He chuckled even though he tried to be stern. “I thought we made love?”

Her eyes softened.
