Chapter Six

She woke early the next morning. She woke first, knowing she had slept well. There were the birds outside, sunlight probed through the sides of Marc's blinds. Otherwise, the room was dark.

She was resting against the warmth of his naked body. As she brushed herself against his back she felt her nipples come erect and then the rest of her body responded. She had never felt this way before.

It was early, she could see from the clock by his bedside. No need to wake, no need to go to work. But she couldn't sleep again. There was too much to think about.

She thought about the evening before, the rapture she had felt. Then she thought of earlier, of the songs by Edith Piaf. 'I will have no regrets.' Well, she herself had none. She knew she would never forget the night before. It had been simply something else. But where would it lead? Did they have a future together? Marc was not like any other men she had known. But... she thought of the other song by Piaf. 'I don't know how it will end.' She didn't. But there was a growing certainty in her that she wanted to spend more time with this man.

It was too early to think such deep thoughts! She wriggled, yawned and stretched her arms over her head. She had disturbed him and he rolled over. His arm flopped over her—and suddenly his hand was holding her breast.

'You're awake,' she muttered.

'Oh, yes, I'm awake now. Are you?'

'Well, I will be if you keep doing that.' His thumb was caressing her nipple into a hardness that was almost more than she could bear.

'Then I'd better stop,' he said.

To her instant disappointment he did stop. But then he rolled further towards her, took her breast in his mouth and she sighed with pleasure.

'We've got at least an hour,' she told him.

'So we're going to work together,' she told him afterwards. 'We're on the same ward. But I gather you're on days and I'm on lates. But we'll be in the same place between two o'clock and half past five.'

'Or longer. They get their money's worth out of me. And I love it.'

'I know you do. Now, you get washed and dressed and I'll make you some breakfast. And after you've gone to work, I'll wander back to my own place and then we'll meet on the ward.'

'After last night it'll be odd working with you,' he said. 'Very odd.'

An hour later he was washed, shaved, breakfasted, dressed as a young doctor should be for a day on the wards. Lucy was wearing his dressing gown and had to hike it up to stop herself tripping over the hem. But she was looking as lovely in it as she did when she was smartly dressed.

He kissed her goodbye. A long kiss.

'See you in a few hours,' he said.

'I'm looking forward to it already.' Then she kissed him again.

He stopped in the hall to pick up his mail.
