CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Forget Yves’s sizzling kiss?

Mary-Beth snorted. Why on earth had she suggested such a stupid idea? If they hadn’t been so busy last week, she’d have sat on her bed daydreaming for hours about their romantic interlude.

Unfortunately, Yves didn’t have trouble acting as if they’d never shared the most earthshaking kiss. “Dr. Drake, you can close. Dr. Drake? You can stitch here.”

“Yes, I heard.” Dr. Drake this. Dr. Drake that. Except for their time in the OR, he’d stayed out of sight. He’d probably forgotten their dinner, their kiss, and even his suggestion to take her to Paris on Sunday.

She finished stitching the patient and lingered in the OR to tidy up. After the nurses wheeled the gurney out, Yves suddenly acknowledged her existence. “We’re going to Paris tomorrow.”

Her eyes rounded. “Paris? I thought you forgot?”

“Never. I didn’t forget a thing. I hope you didn’t?”

His wicked grin sent a surge of want to her belly. Reassured, she stifled a smile. “I remember we talked about Paris. What about Hubert?”

“Béatrice will keep an eye on him while we are away. Meet me at 7:00 am in the breakfast area.”

Would she be totally depraved if she admitted she wouldn’t mind another taste of Yves’s delicious lips? You can’t blame him this time.

She worked hard and was in France for a short time. She deserved some fun. And fun with Yves would be heaven. That’s the problem, her conscience muttered.

Shut up. A little bit of fun can’t hurt. She was a free woman now. Freedom tasted good in Yves’s arms. Her body thrummed with yearning.

The next day, Mary-Beth woke up at the crack of dawn to shower and get ready. She slipped on a black and white knit dress that stopped at five fashionable inches above the knee and slid on a pair of black patent shoes. A silver chain around her neck and a pair of matching hoops on her ears complemented the contemporary design of her outfit. In front of the bathroom mirror, she applied a peachy-bronze blush over her cheeks, a smidgen of mascara on her eyelashes, and a shimmery pink gloss on her lips.

After examining herself in the mirror, she dabbed perfume behind her ears and on her throat, collected her black purse and white blazer, then sauntered downstairs to grab a cup of coffee.

Yves laid down the newspaper he’d been reading at the kitchen table and stood. He looked smashing in dark green pants and a moss polo that matched the color of his eyes. “Perfect timing.” His gaze skated over her face, dress, legs and shoes, and reversed direction with excruciating slowness.

“Ravissante. You’re ravishing, gorgeous.” He came toward her, held her shoulders and gave her three kisses.

“Thank you.” Was it her licentious imagination or had his mouth feather-brushed her lips by accident on its way from one cheek to the other? Her pulse raced, as it always did, but today an unbearable heat singed her throat and skidded down to collect in a fiery ball in her belly.
