Kerry was late for the September interagency working group meeting because her clinic ran late that day. But she wanted to fit in her last client appointment, even if it created a schedule conflict. She didn’t want to shortchange her client, but she didn’t want to rebook, either.

She slipped in the door as someone launched into what sounded like the third agenda point. There was only one empty chair left, two past Owen on the same side. She slipped him a note on her way to sit down, then tried to catch up on the discussion.

She failed miserably, but nobody called on her for input, and she only had a teensy-tiny remnant of guilt when Owen stood up and gave her an intense, tight-jawed, hard-eyed look. “Kerry, do you have a minute?”

“Sure.” She gathered up her notepad, waved goodbye to the other committee members, and followed him out of the meeting room. She expected him to head through the library to the stairs that would lead down to the lower level where his office was located, but instead he cut to the left. Ahead was a door marked Authorized Personnel Only, although she figured that included the EMT supervisor. On the other side was a quiet office corridor, and an elevator.

Owen tapped the button to call it. He used his thumb, and she realized his hand was tightly fisted around her note.

Her pulse jumped as the elevator arrived and they quietly stepped on together.

Owen leaned over and jammed the door closed button. Then he pulled a key from his pocket and inserted it into a slot on the panel.

“So did you—“

Before Kerry could finish the question, Owen had her in his arms, pressed against the wall.

Her heart pounded in her throat as he grazed her skin with his thumb. Her jaw, her throat, and then the back of her neck as he hovered his mouth just above her lips. “Becca’s last appointment was today?”

“She called earlier to change it and I told her I had time at the end of the day,” Kerry whispered. “Sorry I was late.”

The corner of his mouth jerked into a half-smirk. “I was wondering if I would see you.”

“Maybe I should have texted.”

“Do you have my number?”

She licked her lips. “Sort of.”

The other corner twitched now. “From her chart.”

“Yes.”

He groaned and moved closer. Another fraction of an inch, and they’d be kissing. Why weren’t they kissing yet?

“I can’t stop thinking about you.” The raw confession tore loose from his body, his voice grating like he tried to hold it in, because it was an admission that violated everything they had previously agreed to.

“It’s been a long month,” she agreed. She could play this cool, even though her heart hammered against her rib cage as if Owen was offering to go down on her right here, right now.

He smiled, a little wild, just on the edge of control. “I have a question for you.”

The answer was yes. Yes, here in the elevator. Yes, whatever he wanted. Her head swam and her knees threatened to buckle.
