Traci was having a wonderful evening with Ryan.

He was amazing. He made her feel like a woman, not a cold reject. The surprise was dining and dancing at a posh restaurant where the prices weren’t listed on the menu. The room was lavish, the staff attentive. But the best part was being with Ryan.

Now, on the dance floor in his arms, she didn’t feel frigid or lonely or overweight. She felt alive, desirable, seductive. Curled into his arms, their bodies close together as they moved on the polished hardwood floor to the music of a four-piece band, she felt as if she were coming out of a cocoon.

“This is wonderful.” Her head lifted. “Thank you.”

“Thank you.” His hand cupped her cheek. “Your skin is so soft. Like velvet silk.”

She did something that would have been unthinkable before tonight, before Ryan. She twisted her head and kissed his palm. He made her think of things, sexual things that she wouldn’t have dared before. She was definitely blossoming.

Ryan’s sharp intake of breath made her feel powerful. His eyes stared into hers. A silent signal seemed to pass between them. “Are you ready to leave?”

“Yes.” Her voice was breathy, husky. She realized the sound was due to her arousal. He led her off the dance floor, stopping only long enough to pay their bill. On the way to the front door, Ryan’s phone rang.

“I hope that’s not your answering service,” she said. She had plans for him.

“Not to worry. Another doctor is on call.” Outside, he pulled his cell phone from his inside coat pocket. “Hello, Mother. What—”

Handing the claim ticket to the valet, Ryan’s gaze went to Traci. “Simon, give the phone back to Mother and call your brother and let him know that I’m on my way to the hospital.” He disconnected the call.

“Traci, I’m sorry, but I have to go to the hospital,” Ryan told her, hoping she’d understand. “I couldn’t turn Mother or Simon down.”

“You wouldn’t be the man I care about if you did. Let’s hurry.” Traci recalled her suspicion about the reason behind Brianna’s rushed marriage as Ryan’s car pulled up. “Did Simon call for his brother’s fiancée, Brianna Ireland?”

“How did you know?” Ryan asked, his brow puckered into a frown.

“Woman’s intuition.”
