with a patient, but I did.”
    He grimaced. “He really makes you sign shit with that in it?”
    She hesitated. “Have you ever heard of a guy named Larry Douglas?”
    Understanding lit River’s features. “Yeah. I remember that. He married one of Dale’s therapists two years ago and she took him for everything he had. It got nasty in the courtroom when they divorced.”
    “She took advantage of that old guy and Dale blames himself because he hired her and sent her to Mr. Douglas.”
    “I remember. Larry had just turned eighty-five at the time and was senile as hell.
    That bitch drained his accounts faster than she could spend it.”
    Nodding, Brit sighed. “Dale told me. Now he has it in our work contract that we aren’t allowed to get involved with any of his patients under any circumstance.”
    “But you fucked me.”
    Her face flushed again and she let her gaze drop to his bare chest, a mistake as she stared at his tan skin and wide chest. He was so attractive the urge to touch him grew too strong until she fisted her hands at her sides to keep them there. She nodded.
    “Why did you then, if you knew it could get you fired?”
    4She glanced up and then back down at his chest. “I don’t know. Temporary insanity maybe?”
    He chuckled. “Maybe it’s my bedside manner.”
    “Maybe it’s because I’m lonely and you’re hot.” She wished she could take the words back but they were out there. He knew he was sexy as hell so it wouldn’t come as a shock that she’d admit that to him. She just wished she could take back her confession of being lonely. “Will you let me go now? I need to get out of here.”
    His arm tightened around her waist. “You’re not leaving, Brit. I disabled your car.”
    “Fix the car so I can go.”
    He slowly shook his head. “You came here to get a vacation, right? I’ll talk to Ryder and he won’t tell a soul. Trust me on that. He can keep a secret so you don’t have to worry about Dale ever finding out about us.” He took a deep breath and then his voice lowered into a husky tone when he spoke. “Let me take you to bed again. I want you and you want me.”
    “I want a lot of things but that doesn’t mean I get to have them.”
    He grinned. “I’m right here and you can totally have me.”
    She couldn’t help but smile back at him. The jerk could be charming when he spoke in that tone and his sexy eyes sparkled with amusement. His hand on her hip shifted to her ass, firmly cupping her there.
    “I want to spread you wide open on my bed and eat breakfast.”
    Her nipples hardened. She swallowed, hating the way her body responded to the thought of River’s face between her thighs and the wonderful things she knew his sexy mouth were capable of.
    “You’re here and I’m here. Don’t overthink this. Turn around and let’s go to my room.”
    She bit her lip, undecided. Her body wanted one thing but her mind told her what a bad idea it was. She stared into River’s eyes, neither of them speaking for long moments. River’s hold on her ass tightened and he drew her against his body until they were nose to nose, chest to chest. She could feel the warmth from his hot skin through to her thin T-shirt and against her skin where they touched.
    “I could get addicted to the way you moan while I’m licking you.” His voice grew husky as he whispered the words. “Let me take you to my bed, spread you out, and do what I want to you.”
    Her stomach clenched at the memory of River licking her clit. She squeezed her eyes closed, her hands curved around the top of his shoulders as her body moved closer to his. The hands gripping her ass lifted her a little higher, jerked her tight against his chest, and she gasped, her eyes opening when her feet left the stairs.
    “Wrap your legs around my waist,” he ordered, not waiting for her to obey his command as he started up the stairs.
    4 I’ve lost my mind again , she thought but her legs still ended up crossed over the back of
