Chapter Sixteen

Duke

Lila looks good today. She’s dressed in a black pencil skirt that molds to her thighs and makes her legs look much longer. Her red top scoops low enough to give me a decent view of her cleavage. She has nice tits when she shows them. Most of the time, she’s covered up like a nun.

“Isn’t that what you want for your sister? A man who loves and supports her?”

Since the start of our session, Lila has been harping on my apology to Dean. She considers it a breakthrough in my recovery as if I have an addiction. Can you be addicted to being angry? Who knows.

“Yeah,” I retort. “Of course, I want that for Kat.”

She smiles. “I’m happy with your progress, Duke.”

“Can I ask you a personal question?”

She narrows her eyes at me. “Okay, I guess.”

“Is that why you married that asshole? Because he knocked you up?”

She crosses her arms over her chest and frowns. “My personal life is none of your business, Duke.” Her anger seethes through her. “We’re here to talk about you.”

“I want to know the woman I’ve been telling all my secrets.”

“You’ve told me very little,” she snaps. “I understand that you’re upset about your sister and feel like you failed her, but there’s more to your story. You have a history of anger issues. And it’s my job to determine the source of that anger.”

I stare at her, unsure of how to respond.

She leans forward, her elbows digging into her thighs. My eyes dart to her pale skin, thinking about sliding my hands up her toned legs. Sitting across from her, especially when I’m this worked up, all I can think about is sex. I want to fuck the tension from my body.

Puck bunnies have their uses, but Lila isn’t a puck bunny, and I can’t treat her like one. I respect her too much, even though she’s getting under my skin. Fixing my jeans, I adjust myself, hoping she doesn’t notice I’m hard just thinking about her. An awkward silence fills the room. Lila sighs, her eyes fixed on me as she crosses her legs.

“Fine,” she mutters. “You want to know something about me? This is completely unprofessional and unethical…”

“Give me something, Doc. I’m over here, spilling my guts to you every week. Do you know how hard this is for me? We have more than a doctor-patient relationship, and you damn well know it.”

“Ted was my high school sweetheart,” she says with a sigh. “He was the captain of the basketball team. I was a cheerleader.”

“You don’t seem like the cheerleader type.”

She rolls her eyes. “I was back then.”

“Do you still have the uniform?”

She narrows her eyes at me. “Why?”

“Because now that I have a visual, all I can think about is you in that short skirt and tight top.”

“Duke,” she warns. “I already said too much.”

“We already crossed the line, Doc. Why not jump over it?”

She gasps, looking away from me. A minute passes before she says, “Duke, I can’t…”

“Do
