CHAPTER EIGHT

IT WAS JUST before six when Paige pulled into the hospital staff parking. Her shift didn’t start until seven but apparently good—okay, spectacular—sex gave her a massive burst of energy that left her tingling all over and raring to start the day.

Or maybe it was the full-blown freak-out she’d been heading for ever since she’d awakened wrapped in delicious heat and Ty’s amazing man scent. Just the sight of him, sprawled face down across her bed, gloriously and edibly naked, had given her such a rush that she’d been tempted to jump his bones. Again.

Fortunately the cool bathroom air had cleared her head of all the intoxicating pheromones temporarily rendering her stupid.

Standing on the cold tiles, getting her breathing under control, it had seemed like a good idea to head into work early to avoid any awkward morning-after moments.

She sighed. Okay, so she’d panicked and run. Big deal.

It was over; she could finally get on with her life without obsessing about the sexy guy next door: blah-blah-blah. Besides, Ty wasn’t the kind of man to get stupid over someone like her and wanting more was just...stupid, okay. It was stupid. She got that.

Yeesh.

He was just one of those hot temporary flings every woman deserved to experience at least once in her life. At the advanced age of thirty she’d finally done it. Yay.

Just then she caught sight of her reflection in the rear-view mirror and did a double take. Yikes. She was wearing a sappy grin that just screamed... Paige Carlyle Got Lucky Last Night. And that wouldn’t do. So she promptly scowled to erase all evidence—along with memories—of the past eight hours.

See, she told her reflection smugly. Easy as that.

Mood lifting at the very adult way she was handling things, Paige got out and stretched all those aching muscles she’d forgotten she had. It also made her realize how hungry she was.

In fact, she was starving. So, instead of heading for ER, she walked through the automatic doors and hurried down the passage to the cafeteria. It was still early and the tables were mostly empty.

Grabbing a tray, Paige ordered coffee, a couple of pastries and then, because her breakfast looked unhealthy, added an apple just as her phone buzzed.

It was a text from “kick-ass grl”. Turn around, it said, and when Paige turned, she saw Frankie holding up the far wall, booted feet propped on the chair beside her.

Paige quickly paid for her breakfast and headed over.

“How was your date?” Frankie asked casually the instant Paige got close. “The one I had to find out about from the waitress at Surf ’n Turf, by the way, because my best friend doesn’t tell me anything.”

Paige shrugged casually, hoping her expression didn’t give her away. “It was more like a...favor.”

She mentally rolled her eyes at the lie.

“Right,” Frankie drawled. “A favor. Like having dinner with a sexy surgeon on vacation is a favor.” She snorted and waggled her eyebrows. “So did he do you any...um...favors?”

“What? No!” Paige spluttered in protest, covering her pink face by sliding into the opposite chair.
