  “We could combine the two things. I mean sex in the shower.”

  ****

  He knew Eva had thought he was joking about sex in the shower and he loved the look on her face when he pulled back the door on the shower stall and stepped inside.

  “We can save water this way too,” said Alex.

  He leaned over and kissed her, pulling her into his body. He ran his hands down the small of her back, the water making her skin slick enough for him to easily slide them down to her butt.

  She nibbled on his lower lip as he let his fingers travel into her crack.

  “We are going to be late,” she whispered.

  “Not if we make this a quickie.”

  He pulled the condom down from the shelf in the shower and glided it over his shaft.

  “Turn around.”

  Eva faced the wall. He ran his hands all over her and then gently pushed her toward the tiled wall. She placed her outspread fingers on it as Alex nudged her legs apart. He grabbed his cock and eased himself into her pussy.

  They rode together, her sliding her fingers down the wall, him holding on tightly to her hips as they found the same rhythm. She set her forehead on the wall as she pushed back, making him drive into her harder. They breathed in unison, him pushing forward, going on tiptoes until she cried out, her pussy almost crushing him, but bringing him a quick release.

  He set his nose and chin against the nape of her neck, taking in the floral scent from the soap she’d used before he’d joined her in the shower.

  Quite the way to start the morning. Now I wish every morning was like this.

  He kissed the top of her spine before pulling out of her. She turned around. Her cheeks were red, but he wasn’t sure if it was the heat of the water or the lasting effect of her climax.

  “How about I make you breakfast while you finish showering?” she asked him. She handed him the soap.

  “I like the sound of that.”

  She opened the door and stepped outside, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around her. Sex this early in the morning and someone making breakfast for him. A man could get used to this sort of thing.

  ****

  Alex had one of the best appetites she’d known. This morning, she did too. Probably all the sex the night before, and not to mention fifteen minutes ago. More sex than she’d had in the last six months.

  Seeing that Alex had eaten the last pieces of toast she’d made, she popped another two pieces of bread into the toaster and sipped on her orange juice while she waited.

  The ringing of Alex’s cell phone and the toast shooting upward at the same time made her jump. She dabbed at the juice that had splashed across her blouse.

  “Hello, Sheriff Davis—oh hi, Mom.” He pulled a face and Eva laughed. “Nope, I wasn’t on duty so I turned my phone off so I could get a good night’s sleep.”

  “Liar,” mouthed Eva. She wagged her finger at him.

  “You sure it’s the flu?”

  Eva guessed his mom was the latest victim of the bug.

  “Okay, what do you need me to pick up?”

  Alex made a sign that he wanted something to write with. Eva hurried over to her desk and pulled out a pen and notepad.

  “Okay, ice cream and ice pops.”

  He was silent for a few minutes.

  “I can ask Eva. She’s here with me. Yes, I’m at her place.”

  Alex pulled a face again before putting his hand over the cell phone.

  “Your mom have the flu?” asked Eva.

  He shook his head. “It’s Sasha, my niece. My mom’s babysitting while my sister-in-law’s at work and she’s wondering what’s the best thing to give Sasha.”

  “I can pick something up from the pharmacy for you.”

  “That would be great.”

  “Hi, Mom. Eva’s going to pick up some medication for Sasha, and then I’ll bring it over with the ice cream.”

  “You want me to take a look at Sasha? It’s on the house,” asked Eva.

  “Did you hear that, Mom? We have a doctor willing to make a house call.”

  ****

  Sasha wasn’t her usual perky little self and even Alex’s attempts to cheer her up with the cookie dough flavored ice cream, wasn’t working.

  “Okay honey, you want to drink this?” asked Eva.

  She’d mixed some powdered medicine in some grape juice which he had to say looked great, but his niece was too damn smart not to know that something horrible tasting wasn’t lurking in there. She held her blanket and shook her head, her lower lip pouting as Eva held it close to her mouth.

  “It’s really yummy,” said Alex. “Going to make you feel so much better.”

  Sasha shook her head again with the don’t you dare try and fool me look on her face.

  “Look, Uncle Alex is going to drink it.”

  Alex took the tippy mug from Eva and pretended to gulp it down.

  “Um, mmm, good. Now it’s your turn. In fact, you’d better drink it before I’ve swallowed all of it,” said Alex.

  He’d found the right button to press. Sasha took the mug and began drinking it, pulling a face when she was done and handed it back to Eva.

  “Okay honey bunny, you go to sleep and when you wake up you’re going to feel a whole lot better,” said Eva covering her with the blanket.

  Sasha settled down and put her thumb in her mouth.

  “I’ll be back later to check on you and I’m sure Uncle Alex will read you a story.”

  “That’s a great idea,” said Alex.

  They both left the room and found his mom sitting on the couch reading.

  “She doing okay?” she asked.

  “She’s taken the medicine which will make her sleep for a few hours and it should help her with the stuffy nose. I’ll stop back with Alex later to check on her again if that’s okay?”

  “That’s very sweet of you and I’ll leave something for both of you to eat.”

  She was up to her usual antics but now he didn’t care because a little mother meddling was just what he needed.

  They walked outside and headed for Eva’s car.

  “Would you make a house call to my place tonight?” asked Alex.

  “I should tell you that my services are very expensive.”

  “Well, I have a special way of paying for them.”

  “In that case, you’ll want the gold level treatment plan.”

  “Um, I like the sound of that, whatever it is.”

  Eva looked at her watch. “I’m going to be late for my first patient, so I’ll stop by here around six.”

  He leaned over and kissed her, noting that his mother was now peeking out at them. She thought the drapes were concealing her, but she’d never been subtle.

  Don’t read anything into this because it’s a summer fling.

  ****

  Eva couldn’t help think about Alex. She’d always had a soft spot for a guy who was great with children. It was on her list of must-have qualities when it was time to look for Mr. Right. She made some quick notes about the patient she’d just seen, but then got back to her daydreaming. Quality number two was a sense of humor. Check.

  She rubbed her hands over her eyes and forehead reminding herself what she’d told him, what she’d told herself when he’d taken him to her townhouse and before they had sex. Summer fling only.

  He’d quickly agreed to it so she was right in thinking he didn’t want anything long-term either. Therefore thinking about him in this starry-eyed dreamy sort of way was asking for trouble. Plus, she had a job to go to in Denver. It wasn’t that far away. She had family here in town, so she’d be back frequently and she and Alex could have mini-flings.

  She sat down her pen. That was if he didn’t find someone he wanted to have a more permanent relationship with once she was gone. Taking a deep breath, she was suddenly confused. Was it the great sex that was making her change her mind about him or what?

  The buzzer on her desk telling her the next patient was ready ma
de her jump. Men and relationships were so damn confusing.

  Chapter Six

  Alex had never taken part in role-playing games before, but something about Eva made him want to try anything and everything new. After all, this was a summer fling and anything was fair game, right? After they’d dropped by to see Sasha she’d told him to go home and then call her cell phone.

  “Hello is this Dr. Eva McQuire?” he asked, trying not to laugh.

  “It is and how can I help you tonight?”

  He almost couldn’t keep a straight face knowing she was sitting outside in her car waiting for his cue with the phone call.

  “Something’s wrong with me. I’ve been thinking about this woman all day and having fantasies about her doing wicked things to me.”

  “Wicked you say? Sounds serious, so I think I should send my nurse over to your place just to check you out.”

  Nurse?

  He heard the phone purring in his ear and suddenly had the image of a ménage a trois, but before he could process what she’d said, someone was ringing his doorbell. He opened it to see Eva dressed in a nurse’s outfit. A very short nurse’s outfit. He swallowed and went hard instantly.

  “Alex, I’ve been sent to check you out. Something about fantasies?” She leaned against the trim of the front door and licked her lips.

  Shit, he almost came there and then.

  “You’d better come in,” he barely managed to get out.

  Eva stepped inside and he led her through to his living room.

  She unzipped the top of her outfit so her ample cleavage was on display.

  “You want to sit on the couch because I think I have the cure.”

  “Oh, I hope so.”

  Alex sat and Eva walked over to him. She knelt, pushed his legs apart, and scooted close to his crotch.

  She ran her hands over the front of his jeans, making his cock hard—so hard that she had trouble pulling down his fly. She slipped her hand inside his boxers, sliding her fingers around his shaft.

  “Just relax,” she said.

  He pushed his head back, letting it rest on the back of the couch. He was expecting her to give him a handjob, but when he felt her lips around his dick, he was halfway to paradise. She licked the whole length of his shaft, her hands touching his balls in a very different way than the examination she’d given him the other day. This way he preferred tenfold.

  Damn, she was good as she flicked at his dick’s sensitive underside, making him lift his butt a few inches off the couch causing it to bump the roof of her mouth. His cock pulsated and he was almost to the point of release when she slipped a condom on him and then stood.

  He looked up as she hitched her nurse’s uniform up her thighs, revealing that she wasn’t wearing any panties. This had to be a dream because it was getting better by the second. She straddled him, lifting her body up enough that she could run the tip of his cock around the circumference of her pussy. She teased him, pretending she was going to push it inside her but then swirled it around her entrance again.

  He couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to take control of this very erotic situation he found himself in. Alex grabbed his cock and almost slammed it inside her, hoping that she was, as always, hot and wet and ready for him.

  Eva inched closer to his body causing his dick to spear the back of her pussy walls. She was tighter tonight, hotter. He liked it. They began to move, both inching gradually forward until their bodies slapped in time to the rain that had begun to fall a few minutes ago. He licked the front of her neck as she pushed her fingers through his hair. He set his face against her ample cleavage. She was also braless, which gave him an idea. He reached inside her top and pulled out one of her boobs, quickly finding its nipple with his tongue. He sucked, and then sucked harder as she rocked her hips while continually groaning and pleading with him.

  “Fuck me harder, suck me harder,” she whispered.

  Yeah, this was his fantasy but he was going to do exactly as she wanted. He pushed harder, grinding into her with his hips and finally bringing her to orgasm. She gripped his cock and dug her nails into his scalp making him find his own sweet release.

  The night was young and the nurse was all his.

  ****

  Eva put her lips around the beer bottle and took two sips before passing the bottle to Alex. He rested his palm of the fridge door as he looked at Eva and downed half the bottle.

  “I never thought having sex could make you this thirsty,” he said.

  She reached up and ran her finger down the side of his face where a bead of sweat had parked itself. He put the bottle on the countertop and leaned over and kissed her.

  “I don’t think I’ve ever taken a nurse against the fridge before,” he whispered into her ear. His hand went up under her skirt and bunched it up as he went on his knees, pulling up one of her legs and letting it dangle over his shoulder.

  Eva pressed her head back on the fridge as Alex’s tongue flicked over her folds. She closed her eyes loving the roughness the stubble on his chin and cheeks caused as it brushed against the delicate skin around her pussy. She leaned back some more, accidently knocking a few magnets from the door.

  Her hands glided down its sides as Alex pushed his tongue inside her channel and began fucking her with it. She combed her fingers through the wavy curls on his head, so thick and beautiful just like the rest of him. And his tongue—that was a talented thing. Eva almost laughed at that last thought.

  Now holding her body still with both his hands, Alex flicked more rapidly, bringing on an urgency for her to find release, yet making her want this moment to last for the rest of her life. She flexed the toes on the foot resting over his shoulder, gritting her teeth, wanting so badly to delay her climax, but she couldn’t, and finally gave into the inevitable. She pressed her head back, feeling the hardness of the door and found her magic. She wanted to slide down the door, have him hold her, but Alex had more in mind.

  She hopped on one leg as he stood up and then slipped his cock inside her, pinning her to the fridge as his hips pounded back and forth, back and forth as his dick went deeper and harder on each movement. Her butt was going to hurt like hell, might even have a few bruises, but this was so worth it.

  He kissed her neck, letting his tongue glide over her skin as she wrapped her arms around him, bringing him in closer. They breathed heavily, Alex’s heartbeat competing with hers. This time around her climax took her off guard, no build up, just wow, and a wow off the charts.

  She rested her head forward upon Alex’s shoulder, hearing him pant harder with each thrust until he groaned and a gentle pressure filled her.

  He pulled out of her, their foreheads butted up against each other. He playfully rubbed the very tip of her nose. No one had ever done that before. It was quirky and cute at the same time. She smiled.

  “How about watching TV in bed with a huge bowl of popcorn?” he asked.

  She couldn’t think of anything better.

  ****

  Eva liked Alex’s bedroom. It was so him with photos of horses, the West, his late brother who looked like a lot like him, and Sasha and Alex at the daddy daughter dance.

  “This is the most adorable photo I’ve ever seen,” she said picking it up.

  Alex switched on the TV opposite his bed and placed a bowl of what looked like perfectly popped corn on the side table.

  “I love it too. Her mom made the dress she’s wearing.”

  “She looks like your brother…like you.”

  “Yeah, she has our personality too. You probably could see that the other day. Stubborn so we sometimes have to be coaxed or coerced.”

  “Now that sounds familiar.”

  Alex smiled. “I’m taking her again next year. I thought we’d make it a tradition until she’s old enough not to want to hang out with her uncle.”

  “That will be sooner than you think.”

  “Don’t I know it. Which reminds me, I have the sheriff’s association dinner and dance c
oming up in the fall. Don’t suppose you’d like to travel back to Montana and go with me?”

  She almost said yes without giving it any thought but then hesitated. They were planning long-term things and they’d promised not to.

  “How about I see if I’m free that weekend?”

  “Sure.” He looked at the ground. She could tell he was hurt because he didn’t say anything but simply sat on the bed and began flicking through the channels.

  Eva sat beside him, putting her head on his shoulder. Maybe if she’d met him before she’d been offered and accepted the job in Denver things would be different. A long distance relationship. Maybe it could work for them, but she’d known lots of couples throw in the towel after a few months of being apart.

  About to discuss the possibility of keeping in touch when she left next month, Alex’s phone rang.

  “Hello, Alex Davis.”

  “Hi, Julie.

  “My sister-in-law,” he mouthed. Eva nodded.

  “Maybe I should put Eva on the phone and you can tell her.”

  He handed her the phone. “It’s Sasha, and her fever seems to be getting worse.”

  “Hi Julie, it’s Eva.”

  “Sasha’s been tossing and turning and I just took her temperature and it’s one hundred.”

  “I think we should get her checked out. You want to take her to the ER at Mercy in Pine Creek and I’ll meet you there.”

  “Okay. And thank you.”

  Eva pressed the end call button.

  “I’m going to check out Sasha,” she said sliding off the bed.

  “I’m coming too, and I’ll drive you there.” He got off the bed and was about to head to the door but then stopped suddenly.

  “Something wrong?” she asked.

  “Yeah, maybe you should get out of that sexy nurse’s uniform.”

  Alex was going to be the best dad in the world when his time came for fatherhood. An image of her and him standing shoulder to shoulder looking through the glass at a hospital nursery admiring their newborn shot into her head.

  She hadn’t felt this maternal ever before. Sure she loved kids but they were for other people because a career in medicine was her chosen baby. However, seeing Alex sitting by the bed holding Sasha’s hand, its size overpowering the little girl’s tiny digits, made her heart melt. Made her womb ache to carry a child of her own. Alex’s baby. This man was dangerous because he was bringing out feelings and desires she never thought she possessed. She was a career girl, plain and simple.
