She
smiled. “I would if I could. I’ve got stuff going on in Atlanta
next weekend so I can’t make it back till the following
weekend.”

“
Two weeks and you’re running late now? Somehow my plan to
leave you all hot, bothered and wanting got ruined. You deviously
turned it all around.”

“
I’m very sneaky.” She zipped her suitcase and pulled the
handle up. “I seriously would love to stay but I’ve got a meeting
at eleven thirty. I can’t miss this flight.”

“
No worries, mate.” He started to get out of bed.

Charity
put her hand on his chest to stop him. The warmth of his skin
tingled up her arm and her body responded instantly. “Why don’t you
stay here and sleep? Check out isn’t until eleven. That’s over five
hours of sleep if you want. Probably more than you get on a normal
night.” Every doctor she knew worked on little to no sleep. They
had to steal it when they could.

Elijah
hesitated before leaning back against the pillows. “You’re right.
It saves driving home and I have to be back at the hospital at
noon.”

“
I’ll even tuck you in.” She pulled the tousled comforter off
the floor and laid it on the bed. The duvet hugged against his
long, lean body as if it were trying to taunt her. “It’s tempting
to crawl back in there with you.”

“
There’s plenty of room. I’ll make it worth missing your
flight.” He grinned mischievously.”

She
groaned. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re a tease?”

“
Never.”

She sat
on the end of the bed and put her runners on. What should she say
now? Thanks for the great time? Catchya on the next round?
Everything sounded cheap or stupid. She looked on the bright side
of leaving; he wanted to see her again so this wasn’t a one night
stand. She checked her watch. Rrgghh! She had to get
going.

Elijah
came up behind and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her hair.
“Can I call you?”

She
turned her head to kiss him. The kiss deepened and sent butterflies
scattering everywhere inside her. She hated to pull away but had
to. “Call, text, I promise to answer.”

“
Fraudster. You said the same thing last week.” He groaned.
“You are going to be the death of me.”

“
It’s a good thing you’re a doctor then.” She kissed him one
more time before regretfully heading to the door.
