tended to move his body with the wheel. It was driving her crazy.
Yes, both of these people need to be exorcized. Tonight and forever.
If she hadn’t been so busy protecting Coco from that asshole Todd, Veda would’ve been focused on killing that asshole Todd. A vial of poison would’ve been working its way through his veins right then, following him all the way home. He’d have closed his eyes that night and never opened them again.
Veda cut a look at Coco. So sweet. So adorable. So impossible not to protect.
Damn her.
“Coco Puffs,” Gage called, pulling the car to a stop in front of a mansion on the illustrious side of the hill. It was a boxy white house with all modern finishes, and looked like something out of a Jetsons cartoon.
Veda noticed Gage even said ‘Coco Puffs’ differently than Todd. How was it possible for two men to do and say the exact same things, but sound so completely different?
“Do you guys want to come up and hang out a little?” Coco asked, voice hitching.
“I told you this morning. I don’t hang out,” Veda replied. “And now that I’ve been escorted out of a bar by the CEO of our hospital, you know why.”
Coco yanked at her sleeves. “No, totally. I don’t hang out either. I just thought… maybe….”
“Have a good night, Coco,” Veda said.
Coco’s big eyes looked back and forth between Veda and Gage, a small, knowing smile on her face. It wasn’t until Gage turned and met her eyes as well that Coco reached for the door handle.
“Okay… Geez.” Her smile had moved from knowing to full-on suggestive. Veda could almost see the naughty things Coco had her and Gage doing in her mind. “ Good night ,” she purred, amused eyes moving back and forth between them.
Gage waited until Coco had made it to the front door of her family’s home, stepped in, and waved at them, ensuring she was okay. Then he changed gears and pulled onto the road, engine roaring along the quiet streets.
Silence fell. Veda knew this was where normal people would jump in and try to fill the quiet for fear of being uncomfortable, but she’d never been that kind of person. It wasn’t the silence that made her uncomfortable, but the talking.
“Veda. What’s your address?”
Veda snapped her eyes to Gage. “How do you know my name?” She’d never told him, and she was sure Coco hadn’t said it for the entire drive.
A smile lifted his lips but he didn’t look at her, leaning his own elbow on the open window and resting his head on his hand as he navigated the streets. “I know every employee who works for my hospital, Miss Veda Gabriella Vandyke.” He met her eyes. “Miss First Year Anesthesiologist Resident. Miss Salutatorian at Stanford.” He grinned. “Miss Party Crasher. Who do you think signed your employment contract?”
“What a stalker.” Veda studied his profile when he turned away with a smile. That chiseled jaw. It seemed to flex when he realized she was looking.
“Just can’t keep your eyes off me,” he whispered.
“Oh, stop.” Veda snapped her eyes away, focusing on the road. Still, even keeping her eyes off him, she couldn’t ignore her body, humming under the vibration of the engine that made the leather seats rumble. She crossed her legs, trying to ignore it, but the squeeze of her thighs only put more friction on her clit, a fire blazing through her that stole her breath. Desperate for any distraction from the strange things her body was doing, she spoke. “And I should’ve been Valedictorian, by the way. I lost out to Danny Chung, who was notorious for outsourcing his thesis papers to ghostwriters, by a fourth of a point. I was robbed . So thanks for bringing that up.”
He chuckled. The bass of his laugh entered her body and sent it rolling with debilitating warmth from head to toe. Veda tightened her crossed thighs, not to fight the ache in her clit but to address it, hoping a little attention would help it die down.
