Eternally Yours Chapter 13
When we were walking down the hallway and safely out of earshot, I said, "You were amazing. Did you see the way that she came alive when you spoke to her in her own language? I haven't see her this excited since she came here."Lance's face fell and his expression suddenly turned serious. "How long has she been here?""For two months now." I looked down at the linoleum floor and sighed. "She's no longer responding to treatment."Lance nodded. "I didn't think so," he said, and then he turned his attention to the hallway ahead of us as his eyebrows pulled together. "How much time does she have?"I let out an exasperated breath. "I can't be sure. That's one thing that I don't like about being a doctor. I wish I could save all of my patients, especially ones like her, young with her whole life ahead of her," I said, as we walked toward the cafeteria. "Thank you for what you did for her."Lance nodded. "I was happy to do it," he replied, forcing a smile, and then turned his attention t

The next morning, I hurried downstairs, in a rush to get to work to see him, poured myself a cup of coffee, and darted out the door, headed toward work.I pulled into the parking lot as thoughts of Lance filled my mind, conflicted about what to do. There weren't many men like him anymore with his chivalry and kindness. I loved watching him with Crissy last night and I was sure that he would make good on his promise to visit her again. I took a deep breath, pushed the images of Lance from my mind, and headed into the hospital."Morning," I said as I passed the receptionist. She nodded cheerfully, then turned her attention to a patient who was checking in, one I was sure I'd see later.After depositing my purse in my locker and donning a lab coat and my stethoscope, I headed out to the floor, but Drake called out to me when he saw me come in. "Dr. Reynolds, I'd like for you to follow me please." He walked down a corridor, expecting me to follow, without saying another word.Oh, shi

The rest of the day passed uneventfully until sundown, but I couldn't help but wonder about Crissy and what role Lance had played, if any, in her recovery. As I promised Drake, I had said nothing about it to anyone. Drake kept watching me throughout the day, frowning as he passed, but I brushed it off and focused on my work. He was always upset about something. Throughout the day, I couldn't help but think of Lance and how he had connected with Crissy. It's impossible that he had anything to do with her recovery, isn't it? But Drake's reaction made me wonder how Lance could have been involved. I pushed the thought aside and went back to working with patients.I headed toward the waiting room to see how many patients were waiting, when I spotted Lance, sitting in a far corner of the room. My heart involuntarily leapt when I saw him, and then took in his magnificent features, his firm chin, his dark brown hair, high cheekbones and stunning green yes. I could study his features for a lif

Well, it was obvious that I wasn't going to get any answers from him tonight, so I picked up my fork and cut a piece of my steak. I was suddenly so hungry that I could have just picked it up and eaten it with my bare hands if Lance hadn't been there. I laughed at the thought.Lance leaned back and gave me a sly grin as he cut another bite of his steak. "May I ask you a personal question?"The look in his eyes was so sweet that I couldn't help but smile. "It depends upon the question.""How do you like to be fucked?" His question was anything but innocent.My mouth fell open and I almost choked on my steak, shocked as I leaned back a bit. "Excuse me?"Then, he looked at me through his lashes and said in a low voice, "Perhaps you didn't hear me correctly. How, my dear, do you like to be fucked?"My breath quickened, shocked by the question as I remembered both times that I'd kissed him and how I had come undone in his arms. This was the turning point, slamming into me hard. "Lance,

"Well, I don't believe it," Rosa said loudly, stopping me as she crossed her arms. "It's not midnight yet and you're leaving already. Good for you!" "Yeah, well, I have to get home," I lied, in a hurry to see if Lance was waiting outside as promised."Have a good night," she called to me over her shoulder, walking toward an examining room.Hearing his voice in my head-speaking of fucking me-I rushed past the girls at the front desk, through the automatic glass doors, and into the parking lot. I would deal with the consequences later.Outside, it was dark. Only the light streaming down from the streetlamp hovering over the parking lot made seeing possible, casting eerie shadows over the black pavement. The sound of a lone siren screamed in the distance, but it quickly faded. I jumped at a rustle along the pavement, but took a breath, relieved when I saw that it was only a stray wrapper blowing across the asphalt, creating a scraping sound. My heard pounded in my chest as an uneasy

In the moonlight, my eyes adjusted and I was able to see him clearly. His gorgeous eyes bore into mine as if he were looking into my soul. Mesmerized by the sheer force of his will, I took a step back and relaxed, letting my hand trail across the exquisite curves of his chest under his white shirt. His body was rock hard. It was as if a model of the statue David was standing before me in all his perfection, in all his glory. In an instant, Lance's hands were steel vises upon my wrists and his eyes flared a brilliant green, almost glowing in the darkness of the night. "What the hell?" I gasped, unable to move, unable to run, unsure if I wanted to.Within the blink of an eye, he turned my back toward his chest. I gasped when he suddenly flung my long blonde hair over my shoulder, exposing the tender flesh of my neck. A moment later, his lips were on my neck, kissing me roughly. I moaned in ecstasy as his hand moved sensually across my bare breasts. His other hand slid down between my th

Immediately, he swung me into his arms and carried me up the stairs to my bedroom faster than human speed. Then, he gently deposited me onto the bed and pulled back the blanket, revealing my naked body. I smiled as the night's events played over in my mind, remembering the sensual way that he took me, bringing my body to new heights and I wanted him again. I reached up and kissed him hungrily, moving to his neck and down to his chest."You need to rest," he said, pulling away. Then, he pulled back and bit his wrist. Crimson blood dripped from the fresh wound. "Here, drink this," he instructed. "It'll make you feel better."I pulled back to look into his eyes. "What are you talking about? It's blood ""Shush " he cut me off. "My blood will heal you. Drink." Then, he held his wrist to my lips and I drank willingly. Suddenly, his hot blood filled my veins and I already began to feel rejuvenated. For a moment, I wondered if his blood had healed Crissy.When I had my fill, he gently pu

The next morning, I woke to a key jiggling in the door. Steven! My eyes flew abruptly open as the events of the night before with Lance rushed into my mind. Shit! I jumped quickly from the bed and ran to the shower before Steven came into the bedroom.Shit! I hadn't seen him in days and should have known he'd pick now to come home. I swiftly flipped on the shower, hearing his footfalls coming down the hallway, getting louder with each step. The water wasn't warm enough yet, but I quickly jumped in, letting the cool water glide gently over my body. A moment later, it was hot and steam filled the room."Honey?" Steven called out from the bedroom.Quickly, I grabbed the shampoo and scrubbed my neck to wash away the dried blood, but my skin felt as if it had already healed. I grabbed more shampoo and ran it quickly over the vital parts of my body. Shit! What happened if he found out? But, at that moment, I didn't care. Fucking Lance was worth any price that I had to pay."There you are
