I blinked awake , slowly stretching out against decadently soft sheets as my mind cleared away the fog of sleep. The first thing that my mind registered was heat — way too much heat. I shifted uncomfortably, suddenly aware of the hot, heavy length stretched out beside me — and half on top of me. It wasn’t the most comfortable way to start my day, but I couldn’t help but smile as I gently slipped away from the too-warm body sleeping next to me and pushed the thick comforter down to my waist.
I rolled onto my side, not even trying to suppress joy bubbling up inside me as I studied Chase’s slumbering form. He was lying on his stomach, angled towards me, face half buried in his pillow. Dark hair cascaded across his forehead, and his eyelashes cast shadows on his sharp cheekbone as they fluttered in his sleep. His mouth and jaw were relaxed in a way that they never were during waking hours, and a thrill shot through me at seeing him so exposed and tranquil. I was pretty sure that no one else got the opportunity see the great Chase Donahue like this.
Usually, the CEO of St. Luke’s hospital was both cocky and domineering. Always buried in his office behind a stack of paperwork a mile high, Chase only seemed to come out from behind his desk to snarl at poor interns like myself. At least that’s what I’d thought about him until yesterday, when I’d discovered that there was more to Chase Donahue than his alpha-businessman persona. Which is how I’d ended up here, naked in his lavish bed.
The memory of the previous night’s passions had me twisting in anticipation, wishing Chase would wake up and ravish me again. Last night hadn’t been the first time we’d slept together — the unbearable chemistry between us had led to an “indiscretion” even before I realized what an amazing person Chase really was. But, last night, there had been no hesitations, no uncertainty as to whether or not we wanted each other. Now, looking down at his lean, toned form, I couldn’t wait a repeat performance of those uninhibited activities.
As if he could feel me watching him, he stretched one arm out in the space I had just vacated, like he was chasing my warmth. The muscles on his shoulder and back flexed and bulged with the movement, causing the already ignited flame of desire to burn brighter within me.
I couldn’t help but hope it was still early enough for us to get a quickie in before we both had to be at the hospital. I assumed that it was likely, as not even a hint of light was peaking through the floor-length windows beside the bed. I groped towards the nightstand for my phone and was relieved to see that it was still quite early — five-thirty. I had half an hour before my alarm was scheduled to go off and we’d both need to get up and start our day.
Looking at the alarm on my phone, my realization from the night before came flooding back to me. My period was late. I had unprotected sex with Chase almost a month ago, and I was late. There was a chance I was pregnant — even more so now that my period hadn’t started on time. I felt sick at the realization.
A deep, gravely voice broke me out of my reverie and brought me back to the present. Blinking again, I focused back on Chase’s face. He’d shifted so that both of his pale grey eyes were open and gazing on me. His jaw was slightly tenser than before, but his lips curled into a soft smile.
“What?” I asked, not having caught what he’d mumbled.
“Where were you just now?” he asked, lifting his hand to stroke the hair out of my face. “You looked like you were a million miles away.”
“Just thinking about everything that’s happened in the last few weeks… how much things have changed,” I replied, not ready yet to tell him about the ever-increasing possibility that I was pregnant with his child.
Chase’s smile grew as he moved closer to me in bed. The hand in my hair became firmer as he pulled me towards him, pressing his lips to mine. I
