Zoe only had hazy memories of what happened the night before; the crumpled sheets and trail of clothes indicated what she knew was inevitable. He was gone though he hadn't stuck around and she knew, or at least she thought she did, that she was being used.
She had Matt, he loved her, he treated her well and paid attention to her. It was him though, he got her going; he aroused her, made her heart beat faster and her mouth dry up with one look, it was him that she wanted – Nick Jordan was her weakness.
.
He was waiting for her as she made her way into the ED, they both were, she felt sick as she saw them chatting. "Hey" she mumbled quietly, her eyes fixed on Nick as Matt kissed her, she was trying to determine whether he had mentioned anything about seeing her last night.
"Morning beautiful" Matt smiled, as he cupped her face between his hands and kissed her again "I'm sorry I missed you last night" he whispered aware if the presence of others.
"It's ok, I just went hope to bed. It was late" she smiled, kissing him on the cheek. She really doubted her ability to go through with this marriage, she knew spending her life with Matt wasn't what she wanted.
.
"So… Good night Dr Hanna?" Nick asked smugly as he watched Matt walk away.
Zoe raised her eyebrow "it would have been if I didn't wake up alone" she glared at him, it killed her that's he was in love with him; he was arrogant, annoying but inevitably sexy.
"Yeah" Nick replied, uncomfortably; he was kicking himself for leaving her. All of his instincts told him not to but her left right after she'd fell asleep.
Zoe huffed and walked away, feeling slightly ashamed of herself, she'd never cheated before; she'd only been the one someone was cheating with. She turned back around and looked at him "look, what happened last night… It cannot happen again. I am getting married" she hissed, hoping no one else heard what she was saying.
.
"Dr Hanna, patient in cubicle one" Nick called, looking over at her from the patient board.
"Do it yourself" she replied, whipping her head around in annoyance.
A few choice words later and Nick was at the end of his tether "I think we need a word in my office, Dr Hanna" he growled, gesturing for her to follow him. He slammed the door behind her as she entered, backing her up against it "I don't think you want to marry him" he whispered in her ear, his breath tickling her neck as he spoke.
Zoe shivered, she could feel herself becoming aroused just from the way he was speaking to her, he could see right through her; he knew she wanted him and he was enjoying every second. "I… I do" she protested. She could feel his hands on her waist, his lips just inches from hers. It took her less the a second to close the cap and kiss him, her hands threading their away around his neck.
He grinned into her mouth, she had kissed him, he knew that she didn't want to marry Matt; he was dull. He kissed her back with as much vigour as she was giving him, his tongue fought with hers for dominance as his hands forced her skirt up and out of the way, furiously grappling with the shirt buttons to expose her chest to him. He kissed his way slowly down to her stomach, forcing the skirt from her thighs and continuing south.
Her legs parted slightly as his fingers toyed with the edge of her knickers, pulling them down frustratingly slowly and kissing his way back up her leg. She could feel him pressing against her thigh as her kissed her again, it didn't take much encouragement for her to wrap a leg around his hip trying to get him where she wanted him.
"So…" Nick asked, as he watched her redressing, trying to sort out herself and her thoughts. She really was the most beautiful woman, she got under his skin; not many did.
"I think you know the answer to that" she whispered, looking up at him with a slight tear in her eyes. "Am I getting those back?" She asked, trying to change the subject as she nodded to the scrap of blue lace in his hand.
"Certainly not. Now, back to work with you" he kissed her once more and ushered her from his office with a smug smile.
