I shrug, “Not the bad kind.”Shit.I blush at my own words. “Forget I said that.”

“Not a chance.” He shakes his head. “Where’s the pain?” he pushes.

I roll my eyes. “You know where,” I huff.

“Your elbow?” He smirks, raising a brow.

“No.” I glare.

“Your knee?”

Standing beside him at the sink, I place the dishes into the soapy hot water.

“No.”

“Then where?” he asks, tilting his head toward me.

“You know where.” I roll my eyes. I don’t think my face could get any hotter.

His shoulder bumps mine. “Where?”

“My . . . lady area,” I stutter.

Leo throws his head back and laughs.

I smack his arm, not that he even moves.Jackass.

When he laughs harder, my lips twitch.

“I’m a doctor, Miss Keen. You can say what it’s called,” he taunts through his chuckle.

“My . . .” I start but shake my head. “Nope.”

“Your vagina hurts.”

I pull a face at his words.

“Your pussy aches.”

My jaw drops at his bluntness. “Leonard!” I shriek.

I’m so shocked that I don’t even react when his hand clasps the nape of my neck. Pulling me in close, Doc kisses the side of my head.

“Have you told anyone else about your boyfriend?”

“No,” I blurt, “and he’s not my boyfriend.”

“If he’s leaving you with a good kind of pain, he’s your boyfriend.” He grins.

“What he is, is complicated,” I huff, drying my hands on the cloth towel before throwing it at his chest. “I’m going to say good night to my favorite person in this house.”

I feel his eyes roam over me as I start to leave the room.

I’m flirting with Dr. Moore, and he’s flirting back! I get laid a few days in a row and turn into a hussy.

It’s not cheating if you don’t know who he is,I remind myself. So then why do I feel guilty?

A sharp hit to my ass makes me jump. A loud crack sounds through the room. My ass is suddenly on fire.
