CHAPTER 11

Kylie

I knew Max was giving me the edited version of his story because the expression on his face clearly insinuated that the hardships he’d endured as a child were more than he could bear discussing.

He sat there, staring off into oblivion, his dark eyes misty with the tears he fought hard hold back; it was simultaneously heartbreaking and beautiful to behold. Seeing such a large, muscular, and dignified man in such a vulnerable moment—it was like I could see a glimpse of the child he had once been. A part of me wanted to sweep that child into my arms and make sure no one ever hurt him again.

And then there was the man—the accomplished, tough-as-nails military doctor. With him, I was feeling the urge to kiss away any bad memory he possibly possessed.

I carefully set down my cup of tea so that I could rub Max’s back. He tensed slightly at my touch before relaxing into it. I continued rubbing my hands over the taut muscles so easily felt through his shirt. The gesture was only meant to comfort him, but it was also igniting the desire I felt for him…

The desire I desperately needed to push aside because we were in the workplace and needed to keep things purely professional.

Max set his own coffee down and sighed. To my surprise, he then leaned against me and placed his hand on my knee.

The scent of his cologne growing more intoxicating by the second, I found myself placing my head on his shoulder, breathing him in. “We just have to hope for the best. The only certain thing is that if child protective services hadn’t been called, Raya would have stayed in a situation where she was sure to get hurt again. At least now, we’re giving her a chance to be safe, and taking measures to make sure things eventually get better for her family as a whole. Her dad serves our country. We owe them our help.”

Max nodded. “Yeah, I know.”

He turned his head toward me, and it became apparent how dangerously close we were. All I could see were his lips, and like a magnet, I was drawn in.

The kiss was innocent at first—just a quick peck meant to console. But then it grew into something deeper. His lips cascaded onto mine and his arm encircled my waist. I wrapped an arm around his neck and let my other hand run through his silky hair.

We were quickly getting lost into each other…

Until the door of the on-call room swung open.

We leapt apart, and I accidentally knocked over my tea in the process. Shit.

Dr. Rick Coleman stepped inside, whistling a tune to himself. “Oh—there you are, Nurse Hackett! Dr. Mason was looking for you. Max, my man! How’s it going?”

“Hey Rick,” Max said, wiping his lips and then scratching behind his ear.

I hastily searched around for some paper-towels to wipe up my spilled tea.

“Go ahead, Kylie. I got it,” Max said.

I nodded, my heart racing as I retreated from the room.
