yesterday?” Claybourne asked.
    “Quite a bit actually. I probably overextended myself,” she said.
    Claybourne nodded. “Go home, drink lots of water, and catch up on your soaps,” he said, winking.
    “Oh, Doc, you know all my secrets.” The older woman giggled like a school girl and flirted with his
    mate. Felix thought it was adorable, especially since she was old, gray, and female, and in no way a threat to
    his mating.
    “It’s my job as the town doctor to know everyone’s secrets,” Claybourne flirted back, wagging his
    eyebrows. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
    “Oh my.” Both Ms. Tully and Ms. Brayburn blushed.
    “Off with you two now, and rest the entire day. Doctor’s orders,” he said, winking.
    “Thank you, Doctor,” Ms. Tully said, patting his hand.
    When they left Felix looked at his mate suspiciously.
    “You don’t always have a terrible bedside manner. You were wonderful with them and with little
    Bethany yesterday. What gives?” he asked.
    Claybourne shrugged. “Being a shifter doctor is different than being a regular physician. Our patients
    rarely get ill or suffer from the normal physical maladies that strike down the human population. I do more
    damage control than healing. We live in a town of nothing but shifters that don’t have to hide who they are.
    I can’t tell you the number of broken bones and wounds I’ve had to tend due to short tempers and
    stupidity.” He shook his head.
    “So you have selective assholiness, good to know.” Felix nodded his head sagely.
    “That’s funny, because I could have sworn you wanted food.” Claybourne eyed his mate.
    Felix immediately capitulated. “You are the most perfect man in the entire world and the way you use
    your cock is ballad worthy,” Felix exclaimed, clasping his hands in front of him as if begging for
    forgiveness.
    “Dude, TMI.” Damian laughed from the door. Felix blushed.
    “What brings you to my humble abode?” Claybourne asked.
    “Doc, you are many things but humble isn’t one of them,” Damian quipped.
    “You’re right, I am a genius and I know it, now what can I do for you?” Claybourne rephrased his
    question.
    “Got anything for sunburn? It has me completely wiped today.” Damian asked.
    “Let me see how bad the burn is.” Claybourne reached for his gloves.
    “Umm, Doc, it’s kinda below the belt. Isn’t there like a cream or something you can give me?” Damian
    asked. Felix gawked.
    “No. I’m not even going to ask.” Claybourne shook his head.
    “Well I am. What in the hell were you up to?” Felix asked, curiosity eating him alive.
    “Most of the pride was in town for Field Day, so after Rian and I left there we went to Bobbles and
    Things for a while, before we decided to head back to the pride house to work on our no-line tans and fell
    asleep. Rian was lucky. The way the sun moved throughout the day he was in the shade for the later half of
    the afternoon. I wasn’t so lucky.” Damian winced.
    “You poor thing.” Felix sympathized.
    “I heard you got mated, runt. Who is the lucky guy?” Damian asked. Felix nodded his head to where
    Claybourne was packaging the healing salve.
    Damian’s eyes bugged out. “Holy shit! Wait until I tell Rian. Our untouchable and unattainable teenage
    crush has finally gotten mated,” He shook his head laughing.
    “Yes, wait, what?” Felix asked.
    Claybourne walked over, grinning. “Rian and Damian would injure themselves on a regular basis to
    visit me. I was always flattered when they came in.” Claybourne handed Damian the cream.
    “Don’t rub it in too much. Drink lots of water to rehydrate and you should lose that tired feeling,”
    Claybourne advised.
    “Thanks, Doc,” Damian said. He waved the cream and walked out.
    “How in the hell old are you anyway?” Felix demanded. He knew that he was a doctor, so that meant
    years studying, but his mate barely looked a day over thirty. Claybourne looked at him,
