CHAPTER SEVEN

CALLIE JAMMED HER HAND between the closing lift doors just as they were about to shut altogether and deprive her of the very fine sight of Cade all alone inside.

They jerked open and Cade quirked an eyebrow at her. ‘In a hurry?’ he asked.

‘No.’ She smiled. ‘Just wanted to get you all alone.’

They’d spent the last hour in a multi-disciplinary meeting with Trudy and Elliot, talking about the options for their baby. It had been an invigorating discussion and the decision had been made to go ahead and do the lesion repair as soon as possible.

But Callie had found it hard to concentrate. Not even a hellish weekend on call had managed to cool the simmer in her blood and one look at Cade in the meeting, being all hotshot surgeon, had set it boiling.

‘I want another date,’ Callie said after the doors had slid shut. ‘How about tonight?’

Cade grinned. ‘You do like to cut to the chase, don’t you?’

‘You get what you see with me. You want pretence, you’re looking at the wrong woman.’

Cade had to admit it was one of her most attractive features. Sophie hadn’t been straight with him. Not about her plans for him or about her contraceptive cover.

Of course, the fact that Callie also looked hot in her ponytail and black sleeveless dress added to her allure. The dress had a utilitarian look to it with pockets and press studs everywhere his eyes skimmed—breast pockets, hip pockets, pockets over her very delectable backside.

‘I thought you didn’t date?’ he said, keeping his hands wrapped firmly around the railing behind him.

Callie shrugged. ‘Would you rather I said, “I want to have another round of sex with you—how about tonight?”’

Cade laughed. ‘I think I could read the subtext.’

‘So what do you say?’

Cade regarded her for a moment. Callie was great. Hot and sexy and funny. But she was also seriously screwed up. Which was fine—he wasn’t exactly emotionally healthy, either. But she was too nice a person to be hiding behind this façade of hers. He wasn’t sure what had happened to turn her life into a series of brief, meaningless hook-ups but she was missing out on some of the best times life could offer.

And for some reason he couldn’t bear the thought of that.

Not to mention having Callie as a fake romantic interest was a potential win-win for him.

The lift dinged. ‘Well?’ she said as the doors opened.

Cade let go of the railing. ‘Yes, to the date. Maybe, to the sex,’ he said as he exited and headed for his office.

Callie blinked at his back. Damn the man. ‘What exactly does that mean?’ she called after him as she scurried to catch up.

Cade was aware of her at his elbow but he kept his gaze fixed firmly ahead. Given that he hadn’t been able to get her semi-striptease out of his head all weekend he figured he didn’t need to look at a dress that had access written all over it.

‘You want to
