“Dr. Maddy, watch!”

I lift my face from the book I’m reading, raising a hand to shield my eyes from the sun as they search out Hannah. She’s about ten yards away, her fingers held out in a fist in front of her.

“I’m watching!” I shout back, smiling as Hannah squares her shoulders.

She lifts her fist up higher, her eyes trained on the dog at her feet.

“Hope, sit!” she says loud enough that Mason and I can hear from where we’re sitting beneath a tree.

The May sun is unusually hot today, and we sought out the cooling shade of the tree within minutes of bringing Hannah and Hope to the neighborhood dog park. I’d finally declared her well enough that the risk of her being around other animals was low.

Hope cocks her head to the side but doesn’t move otherwise.

Hannah clears her throat and gives the command again, “Hope, sit!”

This time, the dog looks around for a second, her front paws lifting and replanting before she licks her chops and drops her butt to the ground.

“Yay!” Hannah screams, jumping into the air before falling to her knees next to Hope. She opens her palm, giving Hope the small piece of jerky she had hidden there. “Good girl, Hope. You’re such a good girl.”

I smile as I look up at Mason. He pulled me to him after we spread out the blanket, settling me between his legs so that my back was to his chest, his big arms coming around to grip my waist.

He’s grinning back at Hannah. “Good job, sweetie!” he shouts to her before turning and pressing a kiss to my temple. “I’ll never be able to thank you enough for giving her that,” he says, jerking his chin toward Hannah and her dog.

Happiness swells in my chest. Not only at his words or his kiss, but also at the whole situation I’ve found myself in.

Seventy-two hours ago, I would’ve never guessed I’d be spending my Sunday here, in the arms of a man who was not only handsome as hell, but who also genuinely seemed to care about me, surrounded by the laughter of his adorable daughter and the happy barks of their rescue dog. But here I am.

“I think you underestimate the benefits I get from this,” I say, settling myself deeper into his chest.

I feel the damp heat from Mason’s shirt, the warmth of the day really not conducive to the way we’re sitting. But neither of us seems to mind the sticky sweat that clings between us. Not when me being in his arms feels so damn good.

“I’ll make sure you get the full benefit tonight after Hannah goes to sleep,” Mason murmurs against my ear, the feel of his breath sending a shiver through my body despite the blazing sun.

My face flushes, and my breath hitches in my chest at his promise.

Mason Cooper has proven to be an even better lover than any of my wildest teenage fantasies ever envisioned. The way he worshipped my
