Me: What’s up?

TobiasWork: I’m losing my fucking mind thinking about you, and I don’t know how to stop it.

My lips part at his words–I know exactly what he’s talking about, because ever since I ran from the bathroom and headed straight here, I’ve thought about him and how much I wanted more.

I might as well be honest. Maybe we can crush this mutual fascination together. I was going to ask Gabriella for advice, but I know she’ll tell me to sleep with him while I can. Once I go home, I’m going to have to sit down and discuss my relationship with Ewan and how we navigate going forward with Jason if we’re no longer a couple.

I can have fun with Tobias, right? We don’t even need to have sex. We could go on dates and kiss, no sexual contact. Gulping, Ishake my head, because from one kiss, and I was ready to yank his pants down and suck him into my mouth.

Me: Me too.

TobiasWork: I’m trying to control myself, but I don’t know how to, not when it comes to you.

My thighs clench together in excitement. I'm possibly playing with fire, but I don't care. Tobias came at me initially and practically offered himself up, so I'll do the same.

What's the worst that can happen?

Me: Maybe I don't want you to control yourself.

I'm a flirt right now, but I can't help it. I've felt his addictive lips on mine,felt him pressed against me, and I'm not messing around, I need more of him, to feel all of him.

TobiasWork: You shouldn't tease me, Doctor. I'm sorry for my behavior before, but I won't apologize for what happens next if you push me.

This doesn't need to be anything more than just sex, and I'm sure he will agree.

I did the whole friends-who-fuck thing with Kaleb, and it's safe to say I never want to do that again.

But with Tobias, I can fly back to Scotland and end it all without any worries. Me and Ewan aren’t together, and even if I do ever forgive him, they’ll never cross paths. They also couldn’t be any different.

I stare at my screen, chewing the side of my mouth, contemplating my next words. This could go two ways: I flirt and he rejects me, or I flirt and he drives over here.

I hope for the latter as I type the reply.

Me: No strings?

Even though he hasn’t replied, I hop out of bed and beeline for the bathroom, shoving the toothbrush in my mouth. I turn on the shower and freshen up, hearing my phone buzz twice on the bathroom sink. I'm not usually this nervous about something like this, and even the soap bubbles don't ease the tense muscles.

What if he says no? I will be humiliated and definitely couldn't face him again. What if he tells people in the ward that histechnicallyboss tried to seduce him and offered him casual, no strings attached sex?

I may have just made a horrible mistake. What if they send me back to Scotland and take me off Ivy's case?

Then again,hekissedme, so maybe I’m being paranoid. He literally just said he can’t control himself with me.

Wrapping the towel around my body, I lift my phone, closing one eye to try to shield myself from his shattering rejection. I suck in a breath and look up at my reflection in the mirror, my chest and cheeks becoming more flushed by the second.

TobiasWork: No strings as in...sex?

TobiasWork: Don't tell anyone, then. Open the door.

Staring at his message with wide eyes, I tighten the towel around my naked body. He’s here already?

My heartbeat ricochets in my chest, and I check myself in the mirror one more time before walking to the door, taking a few deep breaths, and opening it.

Tobias is on me within a second. Both hands cup my cheeks, his lips pressed against mine, completely consuming me as hekicks the door closed behind him and walks me back. "Are you sure about this?" he asks against my mouth, biting down on my bottom lip until I feel a sting.

I nod enthusiastically and open my mouth for him, our tongues moving hungrily, tilting our heads to deepen the passionate kiss.

Tobias, keeping his lips attached to mine, lifts me up by the back of my thighs, and my towel drops to the ground, completely exposing me to my assistant. He locks my legs around his waist and sits me down on the side table, letting his hands roam my entire body, rolling my peaked nipples between his fingers, igniting a fire inside me.
