I did, but not for dental moral support.

“Your bravery gives me courage, kid.”

He smiled as his mom approached. I opened the door for them to enter first.

After they checked in and sat in the waiting area, I asked the receptionist, whose nametag read Allison, “Does Dr. Vo have any openings for an urgent appointment?”

Allison smiled. “One moment, please. Let me look. Someone called in to cancel earlier.” She clicked a few times. “You’re in luck. She has an opening in an hour.”

“Great. Can you put my name down?”

Allison furrowed her eyebrows. “Umm, Dr. Vo only sees kids.”

“Oh.” Disappointment stirred in me. I should’ve known this. “Can I speak to her for a moment? Please? She’s a friend.”

“Of course. What’s your name?”

I gave her my name. Ten minutes later, I sat across from Vivian inside her cozy office.

“I’m a pediatric dentist.” She leaned into the table. “Adult patients are treated by the general dentist, Dr. Jillian Jones.”

I also leaned into the table. “Which means you havemoreknowledge than a general dentist. I wantyouto work on me.” When I heard unintentional sexual innuendo, I smirked. “In more ways than one.”

She rolled her eyes, and a crease slowly formed between her eyebrows. “This isn’t grocery shopping where you get to pick out your fruits and vegetables. A hygienist could clean your teeth.”

I sighed, and disappointment probably showed on my face because she studied me for a moment. “Do you have a dentophobia?”

I twisted my lips and nodded.

Amusement flickered in her eyes, but it soon turned into compassion. She got up from her seat, walked over to me, and gripped my chin as though she was going to tell me to open wide. Instead, she said, “I suppose I could squeeze in abigbaby for today.”

I smiled and yanked her onto my lap.

She shrieked at the sudden gesture, and I couldn’t help but kiss her. Her lips were soft and welcoming. She didn’t kiss me back, but that was expected. She was the cautious type—except that one time at her apartment and when she was drunk. I wanted her to kiss me again. I wanted her towantme.

Breaking the kiss, I stared at her flushed face. “Shh. Or your staff will come rushing in.”

She licked her lips, and I couldn’t take my eyes off that sexy little tongue.

“You have no idea how much I want to kiss these beautiful lips.” I ran my thumb over her bottom lip. “And taste that curious tongue of yours.” I bent down and licked her bottom lip. When she gasped, my tongue slid in and greeted hers.

Fuck.

It was better than I remembered.

Another lick. Another taste. I was sucked into a world I could never come back from.

Decadent.

Delicious.

Dangerous.

Heat shot straight to my dick and throbbed. She didn’t push me away, and I took that opportunity to explore her mouth. When her tongue played with mine, I moaned. When she sucked on my tongue, I almost came.

Fuck.

I loved the way her lips wrapped around my tongue. It made me want her mouth wrapped around my cock too. My cock throbbed as the vision flashed across my mind. I’d never been aroused at a dentist’s office. This would be a new experience that could trump my fear. Vivian was the perfect distraction.
