And Then Came You
The pain from his past was too deep to heal… But then
again she's a doctor…
"Look, Mr. Ryan, I can appreciate your attempt to comfort your
mother, but I think as her doctor I know what's best for her."
She looked at him pointedly, hoping to hide the way his sexy grin
was affecting her. "And jumping into her bed, moving her injured
hip, isn't. I would appreciate it if you would…"
Parker had just brazenly placed the palm of his right hand against
the wall next to her shoulder, halting her words. Chi looked from
his eyes to his hand then back to his eyes. The laugh lines around
his eyes deepened, enhancing the warm, enticing stare. Thick, black
brows winged soft brown eyes. The brown coloring reminded her of
warm toffee running over the sides of vanilla ice cream. His pupils
were slightly dilated, making his gaze even more penetrating. As
the toffee stare moved from her lips back to her eyes, a warm tingle
bubbled inside her. The corners of his lips tipped higher, widening
his lazy grin. He had the straightest, whitest teeth. The black,
silky hairs of his facial stubble showed the shadow of a beard on
his pecan complexion. It added a rugged, appealing, and dangerously
alluring feature. He smelled of musk cologne and manliness. She
liked that.
"…follow my instructions without question," Chi
finished. She was slightly surprised that it took so long to complete
that sentence. "I'll do whatever you want. As long as I can…"
Parker stopped, enjoying her attempt to remain in control, "enjoy
it."
