Chapter One

Ethan

It had been a shitty day As a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist), I should’ve been used to delivering bad news as well as good But, telling a couple who desperately want a baby that their atteot any easier Today, I’d had to inforle wasn’t over And, one of those couples was in the process of losing their baby

On top of that, , and he wanted to sell his share of the practice I didn’t care about buying back his share, I couldin one week Which meant I’d have to take on his clients until I could find another doctor or two to join my practice My schedule was already packed to the bri to balance all the patients in our clinic had strung hter than a wire

I fucking needed to get drunk I intended to drownon the deck of my Malibu houred I’d find so peace at some point

However,shit-faced alone into tell him that

“You need to get laid,back his third Kamikaze

I scoffed and cockedlaid, asshole? How long has Aubrey worked for you?”

Nash glared at h his unruly blond hair Then he sighed “Three months”

I raised a single brow “And howthat time?”

“Touché” Nash acceded with a shrug Then he punchedbruise

“What the fuck?” I gasped as pain radiated up and down my arm

“Don’t talk about ain”

I choked out a laugh and rolled ot it bad”

His lips turned up in an unapologetic grin “Fuck yeah, I do Anyway, it’s just a matter of time Aubrey already knows she’s mine, she just doesn’t want to admit it”

I chuckled and shook lass of liquid The vodka burned on the way down, but it nu darkness from my day

“Rum and Coke, please”

My ears perked up i next to et a look at her and almost fell offI had to clenchher ontothe fuck out of her

She was absolutely stunning Long, al in soft curls to the s to delve into the silky strands She must have felt the pull between us because her head turned, and her curious gaze locked with mine Her dark brown eyes were somewhat narrow, framed with thick, sooty lashes When she blinked, they brushed the top of her high cheekbones

Her nose was straight, and a tiny dialoss covered her wide, full lips that I had an urgent desire to taste I was instantly obsessed with those gorgeous lips I wanted to do all kinds of dirty things to the it shiny and even

I stifled a groan and tore my eyes away as they continued their slow appraisal of her body My arousal grew at the sight of her high, lush tits, pressing against a soft purple sweater And her little black skirt that showed off her tight, round ass, and endless legs that would look a wrapped around me

When I finished with ain She smirked and perfor me chuckle Her brown eyes sparkled with appreciation as they journeyed back up to land on my face

We stared at each other in silence for as probably only a minute but seemed like hours The bartender broke our connection as he set her drink on the shiny wooden surface

“On the house,” he said with a wink, his eyes running over her, lingering on her breasts

Rage instantly flared inside me and I leaned over the bar so ere face to face “Put it onmy voice low and deadly My tone and steely expression otten esture of surrender and backed up beforeto the other end of the bar to serve another customer

I was shocked at the eh me I’d never felt jealousy like this,of possession I took a deep, caloddess next to me

Her head was cocked to the side and she was studying ive anything away, and I wondered if I’d scared her off with my intensity

I reached out a hand an

d ranher lips They iht in her throat I nodded with satisfaction She was as affected by me as I was by her

“What’s your na my every muscle

She raised a single dark eyebrow but didn’t co the question instead “Madison”

“Are you single, Madison?”

She nodded her head and s to do about it?”

Oh, you just wait and see, baby

“Well, Madison I’ to be brutally honest because I don’t want to waste another rinned boldly “I want to take you home and fuck those sexy lips every way I can think of Then bury myself inside your beautiful body until neither of us has the strength to move”

Madison’s cheeks bloo es of them wrapped around my cock

I stood and held outand I prayed she didn’t turn down my invitation because I wasn’t sure I had the power to walk away It was entirely possible that I would just throw her over my shoulder and take her to a dark corner where I could convince her that this was a brilliant plan

“I know you feel this thing between us, lips,” I cajoled, not even trying to er I was sure she could see on my face

“I’ll co at herher eyes I raised a brow,her earlier expression

Her s bolts of electricity straight to s to your mouth too”
