he nodded .
`` yes , very hard . ''
`` why do i have the funny feeling that your idea of me making it up to you is entirely different than mine ? ''
`` no more orgasms for dates .
just dates . ''
`` i can handle that . ''
a wicked gleam flashed in pesh 's eyes .
`` the first date will be to the fox to see an opera . ''
she groaned .
`` you do n't play fair . ''
he ran his hands up her sides , causing her to shiver .
`` i would have to argue that you have n't been playing fair all along .
now it 's my turn . ''
`` are you going to punish me ? ''
she questioned in a whisper .
`` mmm , hmm , there will lots of dates and lots of time spent together . ''
he quirked a brow at her .
`` a true hell on earth . ''
she could n't help giggling .
`` i 'll be a good girl and take it . ''
`` i 'm glad to hear it . ''
as they lapsed into silence , megan 's fingers wound through the hair at the base of his neck .
`` do you want to stay the night with me ? ''
pesh 's brows furrowed as if silently questioning her proposal .
`` but you- '' `` no sex .
just sleeping . ''
`` you think that 's a good idea with mason ? ''
`` we 're a couple now .
he 's going to be seeing a lot of you . ''
pesh smiled .
`` yes , he is . ''
staring into his eyes , she asked , `` so you 'll stay ? ''
`` it would be a pleasure . ''
without another word , she rose off his lap .
after he got up off the sofa , she took him by the hand and led him to her bedroom .
as she sat on the edge of the mattress , she watched as pesh stripped down to his boxer shorts .
when he was finished , he walked slowly over to her .
`` i 'm sorry we ca n't do anything else . ''
he brushed the hair out of her face and cupped her cheeks .
`` i do n't mind .
i 'm happy just to be with you . ''
in her heart , she was happy as well and not just about him staying the night .
but for how everything between them had worked out .
`` so am i , '' she murmured before lying back on the bed .
`` so am i . ''
chapter eighteen for megan , the next few weeks flew by .
she did n't know if it was because she was so busy at work , or it was because she was so happy being with pesh .
she liked to think it was the latter .
or maybe it was that she was busy being with pesh .
on her off days and his , they spent every second together .
most often , he came to her house .
they made dinner together or they went out .
although her parents did n't entirely approve , he slept over as well .
what they did n't know is that some nights nothing illicit even happened between them .
exhausted from the day 's events , they merely enjoyed lying in each other 's arms .
as she came out of a patient 's room , she glanced up to see pesh standing across the hall talking to another doctor .
for just a moment , his gaze met hers , and although no one else could have possibly noticed it , she saw the longing and the affection .
she gave him a brief nod before walking on to the nurses ' station .
since they had become a couple , their time at work had become almost a game of wills to pretend there was nothing going on between them .
most days , it was harder than megan could have ever imagined not to burst out in a smile whenever she saw him or to resist the urge not to wrap her arms around him .
but somehow they made it work .
in the end , the pent up emotions that were suppressed during the day made for a lot of heated fireworks in the evenings .
megan 's thoughts were interrupted at the buzzing of her phone .
when she glanced down at it , she grinned .
it was pesh .
it killed me not to be able to kiss you a moment ago .
i know .
me too .
dinner at my place tonight ?
u cooking ?
she questioned .
yeah .
indian food .
mmm , sounds good .
what time ? ''
7 .
does mason like indian food ?
megan eyed his text thoughtfully .
the last three times she had been with pesh , mason had been with them as well .
pesh never seemed to mind , but megan wanted a night with just him .
a true date night .
not sure .
will get my parents or papa to babysit .
you do n't have to do that .
i know .
i want to .
okay .
see you at 7 .
bye .
she had just slipped her phone back in her pocket when she was ambushed by kara .
since the day she 'd seen kara grope pesh in the hallway , megan had loathed the sight of her .
she had managed to keep her distance from her at work , but lately , she noticed that kara had been creeping around , staring at her .
`` can i do something for you ? ''
megan asked politely .
`` yeah , for starters , you can drop the sugar sweet act .
i know how you feel about me . ''
megan fought the urge to roll her eyes .
instead , she crossed her arms over her chest .
`` fine .
what do you need kara ? ''
