Steam quickly fills the room, and I step under the hot spray. Dipping my head, I let the water rain down on the back of my neck as the stress of the day washes away. Instantly, Charlotte and her soft lips pop into my mind. I can’t escape her. My cock thickens just thinking about her gorgeous auburn hair and those crystal-blue eyes.
It’s not the first time, and it surely won’t be the last, that I palm my cock and slide my hand from root to tip with thoughts of her. It doesn’t matter what woman I’m with or who I meet. Every single fucking time my rosy palm meets my cock, it’s Charlotte that I think about. Ten years of jacking my cock to her, and finally, I’ve tasted her, and now I can’t go twenty-four hours without rubbing one out.
Leaning my head against the tile wall, I brace my hand there and allow myself to get lost in the fantasy of Charlotte. Tonight, she’s sitting on my desk, legs spread wide, her bare pussy on display for me. I’m sitting in my chair, having her for lunch. Her kisses are soft and sweet, and I can only imagine that her pussy is even better. Of course it is. This is Charlotte Krause we’re talking about.
I groan as my fist pumps faster. I imagine her hands buried in my hair, legs locked tight around my neck as I devour her, pulling every ounce of pleasure from her body as I drown in her orgasm.
“Fuck,” I grunt as my orgasm crashes over me. It’s intense, and I’m breathing heavily as I imagine her blue eyes staring down at me, sated and full of desire, only for me. I give myself a few minutes to live in my fantasy before standing and quickly showering.
After toweling off, I slide into a pair of boxer briefs, plug my phone in to charge on the nightstand, and glide beneath the covers. I used to see Charlotte when I would visit Lincoln and Audrey. Now, I don’t know how, but I’m going to find a way to see her. I have to kiss her again.
No, I need to.
Not just to show her that her rating of a four was ridiculous but because even the small pieces of her that I get are better than never getting to see her.
I don’t want to know what a world without Charlotte Krause in my life is like.
CHAPTER
SEVEN
Charlotte
As soon as I walk into the building, I see Dr. Phillips standing outside of my office. “Good morning,” I greet him as I draw closer.
“Morning, Charlotte.” He beams. “You have a few minutes?”
“Absolutely.” I step into my office, flip on the light, place my purse on the credenza behind my desk, and turn to face him. “What’s up?”
“Remember how I had you move my patients for this afternoon to yesterday, which was my day off?”
I nod. “I do. Did your plans fall through, and you want to be put back on the schedule today for acute visits?”
“No. I still have a meeting today, and I want you to be there.”
“Sure. Is there anything you need me to prepare beforehand?”
“You’ve already done it. Over the last few weeks, all the reports I’ve had you run.”
“Okay. Well, just tell me when and where.” I grin at him even though I feel a little uneasy.
“I didn’t tell you sooner because I don’t want word to get out to the staff until everything is finalized.”
“May I ask what the meeting is about?”
“A buyout.”
I freeze. “Buyout? Our numbers are great.” I’m floored that he and the other partners are even considering this.
He nods. “They are, but the partners and I discussed it, and we’re not business-minded people. We just want to see our patients and forget about RVUs, EHRs, JCAHO, and all the other things we have to deal with.”
“That’s why you have me.” I smile, even though it’s forced.
“This has nothing to do with you or your ability to run this place. Ultimately, it rests on our shoulders as the owners, and we’re ready to let that piece go.”
“So, what happens?”
“We have it written into the contract that all current staff stays in place. We do have to switch over to their human resources policies, but I’ve looked them over, and ours are very similar. No one loses their job unless they do something in violation of those rules and regulations.”
“You’re still going to have to deal with all the things you listed off.”
He nods. “I know, but only from the medical side, not the business side. The partners have been talking about this for months. We heard of a local facility looking to add pediatrics to their roster, and I reached out. They’ll be here this morning at ten. They want to meet you and tour all three offices.
