Krista wasn’t a child, and she could feel the sexual tension building between them. It would have been so easy for her to insist that she return to Vermont tonight, or to go stay at hotel. But neither of those things appealed to her. It wasn’t like she had been thinking about making love to him all day long. She had too many other things on her mind. But she was willing to admit, she wasn’t ready to say goodbye. And going back to Vermont right now would be doing that. There was no longer a reason for them to continue to see each other.

But even now as she changed into pajamas that he provided her, she questioned if this was a wise choice. When they had gone to New York, it was different. That penthouse wasn’t his. It had been like going to a hotel with an adjoining room. But this apartment really felt like Connor. It was laid-back, casual, and comfortable. The couch was large and overstuffed, and the chair beside it, didn’t match at all. Neither did the two end tables. But all the furniture in his apartment was functional. Not surprisingly, there was no clutter. It seemed as though everything was placed deliberately in a certain spot. That was the case throughout the house until she came to the kitchen. In there she found just about every spice one could imagine. But most of them not even opened. Maybe he was a collector of spices.

She had a feeling there was a story behind that, but she was too tired to ask. Her eyes were burning from lack of sleep and if she did not get to bed soon, she would probably drop where she was standing.

So Krista went back into the living room thinking that Connor might be there. But she was alone and his bedroom door was closed. Maybe he went to bed. She would’ve thought that he would come and check on her one last time, maybe wish her good night and some sweet dreams.

Or better yet, a kiss goodnight.

Thoughts like that definitely was not going to help her fall asleep. But maybe it was what she needed after these past few days. Just because she was a physician, didn’t mean she wasn’t haunted with images of what her patients were going through, or in this case, going to face. And knowing that she couldn’t be in New York, to actually care for Miss Twanda, wasn’t easy either. Yes Miss Twanda was going to have the best care, but Krista never found walking away to be easy.

That probably was why she was standing in Connor’s apartment in his pajamas. Even in such a short period, she’d grown attached to him, although in a much different way.

There was so much more to Connor than most people probably realized. She noticed how he held tight to his hard outer shell, but there was a sensitive side that he kept buried. But the more time they spent together, she saw more of his vulnerable side and she had to admit, she liked it.
