Just my stupid luck that on the one day I wanted to be busy at work—was it bad of me to wish for a bus crash?—I had absolutely nothing to do. No one needed to be X-rayed or scanned, the first time in my entire career it had happened. Even in a small town like Okwaho Lake, kids tumbled off trampolines, people tripped over cats, or suffered exercise injuries every day. Not to mention, tourists swamping the region this time of year and showing up at Urgent Care with twisted ankles or broken arms or other minor injuries. But on the one day I needed to occupy my mind, not a single teenager had the decency to ride their skateboard into a tree.

So I had to find other things to keep myself from obsessing over last night. I scrubbed the exam room from top to bottom, making it clean enough to perform brain surgery on the floor while not thinking about Liam’s brilliant smile or twinkling eyes or curious hands.

I made sure to restock the supplies while not thinking about long muscular legs or pale freckles sparsely sprinkled over wide shoulders, reminding me of the first stars blinking to life in the night sky. I definitely didn’t think about drugging kisses, panting breaths, or naked skin.

That was a lie, of course. Probably the biggest stinking lie I’d ever told myself, and luckily I was alone in the exam room while not thinking about all of that since scrubs did a lousy job hiding a raging hard-on.

After restocking every supply closet in the entire Urgent Care according to regulations, I got roped into manning the front desk for half an hour, and I accepted gratefully. Not that I was any busier there, and I didn’t dare to reorganize anything. My coworker, Mary, would’ve read me the riot act if I’d messed with her system.

Instead, I stared at the non-ringing phone and empty entrance…and obsessed over last night.

What was it about Liam O’Donoghue that made me throw myself at him with abandon? I had no restraint when it came to him, which was why I’d had sex with him on our first date. At least, our first date without other people present.

I hadn’t had sex on a first—or second—date since my late teens. Why now? It wasn’t like I could blame anyone else but myself; he’d been the perfect gentleman and had given me an “out” if I’d wanted it. I hadn’t taken it, of course, but thrown off my clothes, pulled apart my ass cheeks, and yelled, “Do me!” Or I might as well have.

Because, holy rigatoni, that man was hot. And funny and nice and genuine in a way I hadn’t encountered a lot during my life. His admiration for my cooking had been real—no one was that good of an actor and could pretend that blissful face. He had appreciated my efforts and even liked my Martha Stewart table settings.

And the sex…The sex had been real, too, and
