I called Nina and told her everything.
A few days later,I returned to work. The pharmacy staff have called several times, apologizing profusely for their error. They offered me coupon after coupon, but I wasn’t sure I’d ever step foot in that pharmacy again.
Anxiety ate me up inside, and when I told Nina, she suggested I talk to someone. When you almost died because of someone else’s mistake, it was hard to overcome the fear that it might happen again.
For now, Gavin, who I was officially dating as of today, would pick up my birth control for me and make sure it was correct.
We’d gone on two dates so far, and we had another one planned for tonight. Yet this one was a bit different since I was headed to his house for dinner, and I’d be meeting his children. I told him I’d wait until he felt comfortable, but Gavin said he already did.
I replayed our conversation from last night’s date. We had dinner together at the diner, and then he drove me to the top of the mountain, where we parked his truck and looked out at the starry night sky.
“I know this is crazy, Rae, but something inside me keeps shouting you’re the one. You’re the one for me. I look at you, and I see so much love and warmth. I know you’d be an amazing mother to both my children and ours together. We’ve known each other a week, and I know without any hesitation that I’m madly in love with you.”
My heart raced, and my pulse roared in my ears. It was crazy, and it was fast, but I couldn’t deny it either. I felt the same way.
I climbed over the middle console and straddled his lap while wrapping my arms around his neck. I kissed him hard and deep,unable to get enough of his taste, and when we broke apart, I whispered against his lips, “I love you too, Doc.”
His sexy, rumbly chuckle sent tingles up my spine, and I ground my hips, the bulge growing beneath his pants hard to miss.
“I don’t want to fuck you for the first time in my truck.”
“Why? I don’t mind.” I dragged my lips away from his mouth, over his scratchy beard, to his earlobe where I nipped it gently with my teeth. His skin broke out into goose bumps, and it drove me wild with desire.
“You deserve to be fucked properly. After that, it’s game on.”
Heat flooded between my legs. “Okay, fine.” I dragged the word out and moved back to the passenger side. His large erection was on full display beneath his pants, and I licked my lips, trying to imagine what he tasted like.
“Come over tomorrow night for dinner and meet my kids. After they go to bed, we can have dessert.” He winked at me and started the engine of his truck.
“Please tell me I’m dessert.”
“No spoilers. I think I’m a decent cook, according to my kids anyway, but I probably should stick to medicine. I’ll grab some pizzas for us.”
“No!” I said with a giggle. “I want you to cook.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! You can’t be that bad.”
“Alright, how do you feel about spaghetti and meatballs?”
“Sounds perfect.” I leaned over and kissed the man I wanted to spend my life with. The man I didn’t even know existed a week ago.
The grumpy doctor I couldn’t get enough of.
CHAPTER SIX
Gavin
Marley and Matt loved Raelynn.I knew they would. What was not to love about her?
She made them laugh and kept them entertained with round after round of the card game Go Fish. Dinner turned out delicious. My meatballs came out better than they usually did.
Raelynn even showed me her garlic bread recipe, having picked up a fresh load of French bread at Ruby’s bakery in town. She made a to-die-for garlic butter, and it was some of the best garlic bread I’d ever had.
My kids thought Raelynn made dinner and couldn’t stop praising her. I didn’t want to spoil the moment for anyone, so I went along with it. After dinner, we popped popcorn and watchedSpy Kids,though my kids had already seen it a million times.
When they finally were tucked in bed after showers and bedtime stories, I didn’t waste a second to lead Raelynn to my bedroom. All I’d thought about nonstop for the past week was ravishing her body, and finally, finally the time had come.
