floor would kill to have you—hell, the married ones too I’d wager.” Tears welled in her eyes again. “They could give you something I can’t—something new.”
“Is that why you’ve been forcing all the crazy stuff on us?”
“Yes and no. Don’t get me wrong. You know how important sex is to me, and I selfishly wanted more heat.”
“I don’t think that’s selfish at all. You have needs, and I always want to meet them.”
“And you do—you always do. I guess, it’s just after having Olivia, I was afraid you might get bored with me. After I’d finally given you the child you always wanted, you might not need me anymore. You might begin to realize that you’d been saddled with Crazy Casey for way too long, and that the sexy nurse with the gravity defying breasts and no pregnancy stretchmarks could make you happier.”
When he chuckled at her summation, she gave him the stink-eye. “I’m sorry, but I can promise you that’s last thing I’ll ever think or do.”
“I’m sure a lot of men promise their wives that, and then they change their minds.”
Nate cupped her cheeks with his hands. Shaking his head, he said, “This is me we’re talking about. That’s not who I am or who I ever was. Deep down, you know that.”
As she stared into his eyes that shone with love for her and only her, she realized what a fool she had been. “Yes, I do,” she whispered.
“Babe,” Nate crooned as he pulled her into his arms. When she felt his arms tighten around her, she let her emotions truly go. As she wept inconsolably, Nate rubbed circles across her back while whispering words of love in her ear.
“I’msorryI’msorryI’msorry,” she murmured over and over.
“It’s okay.”
“No. It isn’t. I’ve been such an idiot.”
He gently eased her back to look at him. “How about I think of some way you can make it up to me?”
She smiled. “I’d like that a lot.”
“Good. Now shut the fuck up, and let me kiss you.”
For once, she did exactly as she was told. Just as Nate thrust his tongue into her mouth and deepened the kiss, the elevator doors popped open. But it was the sound of applause that caused them to jerk away from each other. Once again, they were faced with an audience—thankfully this time it wasn’t Nate’s interns. Instead, it was a few of the nurses and doctors Nate worked with.
“I better get going. I’ve caused enough trouble for today,” she said sheepishly.
Nate laughed. “I’ll see you at home.”
She nodded. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
After giving him a quick kiss goodbye, she headed off the elevator into the lobby. Although the day hadn’t turned out like she’d planned, she couldn’t wipe off the goofy, satisfied smile on her face as she walked out to the parking garage.
A few days after her come to Jesus with Nate, Casey was immersed in her latest work project when her cell phone dinged and interrupted her train of thought. Although she was prepared to ignore it, she glanced down to make sure it wasn’t Nate’s mom calling about Olivia. When she saw it was Nate, her brows rose in surprise since it wasn’t like him to call during the day.
Picking up the phone, she said, “Hey babe. What’s up?”
Without his usual friendly greeting, Nate questioned gruffly, “Are you alone?”
“Yes. Why?”
“Is the door to your office opened or closed?”
Her gaze flicked over to the doorway. “Um, it’s half open.”
“Good. Now I want you to do everything I say. No questions asked. Got it?”
Her heartbeat thumped noisily against her breastbone. “Nate, what the hell is going on?”
“I said no questions.” Before she could protest again, he said, “You’re wearing that tight, red skirt I like, aren’t you?”
Her mouth gaped open. “Yes.”
“Good. Staying right where you are, I want you to spread your legs as far as they’ll go.”
She sucked in a sharp breath. Holy shit. Nate was calling her for phone sex in the
