to him by her arms. “I’ll do what you wish just this once. Don’t get used to it.”
    “Oh, I definitely know better than expecting a you-know-what doing what a nurse says to do!”
    He leaned down and kissed her softly, more to get her to shut up than anything else. As she molded her body to his, he deepened the kiss. His hands stroked over her back through the thin nightgown she wore.
    When she’d first stepped into the room wearing that thing, it had been all he could do to act casual and keep his eyes on his book. He was almost afraid to let her see what he felt for her though, with her feelings about doctors coming into the mix.
    Heidi sighed into his mouth, moving closer to him. She loved how his bare chest felt pressed against her breasts, and felt her nipples hardening into tiny points. Her hands roamed over his bare back and around to his shoulders and chest. His body was hard, and she was impressed. It had never occurred to her a doctor would be this fit. She’d noticed a home gym in one of the spare rooms, but had assumed he didn’t use it. She now knew she was wrong.
    Slade’s hand moved to the hem of her nightgown, moving up under it to her waist, and then up further to tease her nipple with his fingers. She let out a slight moan at the feel of his fingers.
    His lips left hers to kiss a trail down her neck and to her shoulder. “How would you feel about throwing this thing on the floor so I can feel all of you?”
    Heidi pulled away, lifting the nightgown over her head and tossing it away. “That make you happy?”
    His eyes were on her body. “Oh yeah. That makes me happy.”
    “Wow. It’s like you’ve never seen a naked woman before.” She winked at him playfully.
    He laughed, so pleased she could joke about his profession. “Oh, only once or twice.” He pulled her onto his lap astride him, and she gasped as she came into contact with his bare skin. She didn’t know why, but she’d assumed he was wearing something under the covers, but it was so obvious that he wasn’t. He pulled her forward so her breasts were flattened against his chest and his hands went to her bottom, moving her over him.
    Heidi stared into his eyes as he slowly pressed into her. Her gasp of surprise caught him off guard. “Okay?” he whispered.
    She nodded, closing her eyes and swallowing hard. “Feels good.”
    Within moments, he was moving within her, his hands helping her to rise and fall over him. “Better than I’d dared hope,” he agreed.
    When he felt her tighten around him, he was able to let himself go, and he gave a shout as he poured his seed into her. Never had he done that without a condom, and it felt so strange knowing he could make her pregnant. Knowing he wanted to make her pregnant.
    They curled together afterward, her back to his front, his hands stroking her body, his lips whispering words of praise against her ear. “We’ll have to do this often,” he finally said.
    She laughed. “From the sounds of our schedules, tomorrow night will be our last chance for several months.”
    He grinned, biting her ear softly. “Oh, I think we can find the time and energy for this.”
    She sighed contentedly, closing her eyes. It felt so good just to be held by him. It really was too bad he was a doctor and their marriage could never last.
    *****
    The next day was pure bliss in Heidi’s mind. They did little except lounge around the house and swim in his backyard. Slade grilled out for lunch, and she promised she’d take her turn cooking at dinner time. There were only a couple of calls to interrupt, the first from her mother, while they were lounging by the pool.
    She sighed as she looked at the display. “It’s my mom. I’m sure she needs me to reassure her you didn’t kill me in my sleep.”
    He grinned at her. “Tell her I’m really a vampire who transformed you, and now you glitter like the vampires in that stupid teenie-bopper movie series.”
    Heidi poked him as she answered. “Hey,
