Doctor Of My Dreams (BWWM Romance) Read Online Free

her arms over her chest. “I can’t just fork out cash for everyone, you know.”
    I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to stop myself from panicking.
    “Please, Dianne. I can’t leave here without paying at least something. I pay you every week for Trevor.”
    “Then use that, I haven’t taken it from you yet,” she said. “I won’t charge you for today because I feel guilty.” She walked away from me. Sure, how nice of her. I knew she had enough money. We’d been neighbors for years. I almost wanted to say friends.
    I suddenly felt like I wanted to cry, tears welling up in my eyes.
    “Miss Lewis?” someone spoke behind me and when I turned around it was the doctor.
    “Oh, Doctor Morgan,” I said and blinked furiously to get rid of the tears. “Sorry, am I in your way?”
    “Not at all,” he said. “I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. If it’s any help to you, I’ll cover the minimum amount and you can settle the rest later.”
    I shook my head.
    “I can’t accept that from you. I...“ My voice caught in my throat. He took my wrist, holding it only between his fingers, and electricity ran through my body. His eyes were a light blue, looking right through me, and when he spoke again his voice danced over my skin like a caress.
    “Don’t worry about it. I understand. Please, the money is nothing to me. I’d rather see you and your son safely home.”
    I wanted to say no. The protest formed on my lips, but I didn’t say the words. The atmosphere around us was charged. I was aware of how close he was standing to me, I could feel the heat radiating off his body. I was suddenly very aware of his lips, not too full, and pressed into a line of thought. When I forced myself to look at his eyes they were on my lips too. I breathed out in a shudder.
    “I don’t know how I can thank you,” I said. Richard smiled and it defrosted me.
    “Will you go out with me?” he asked. Something inside of me lurched when he did.
    “Excuse me?” I asked.
    He looked sheepish. “I know this is uncalled for. But I’d like to just see you outside of this hospital environment. Besides, you look like you could do with a break.” He looked apologetic as soon as he said it. “I mean… I can do with an escape as well. Really, you’ll be doing me a favor.”
    I hesitated.
    “Naturally Trevor can come too,” he said like he’d read my mind. “It’s not a date.”
    I didn’t know why I agreed. I didn’t know this man from a bar of soap and I’d just accepted payment from him like a beggar, and now I was agreeing to go out with him. But it wasn’t a date, like he’d said, even though a part of me felt a little disappointed about it. I shook my head. I was being ridiculous. At a loss for words and affected by a man like a teenager. This wasn’t a date, it was an act of charity. And I felt like I owed him.
    “I’ll call you. Your numbers are on record.”
    I nodded. Richard dropped my wrist and he smiled at me and turned to leave. I noticed how broad his shoulders were under the white coat. The way his hands hung next to his side, steady and able. Warm.
    I collected Trevor and walked away without saying anything to Dianne. In the car I could still feel Doctor Morgan’s fingers on my skin, like ghosts of himself he left behind.
    On the way back, Trevor told me in detail how he’d broken his arm falling out of the tree, and how the X-ray machine worked.
    “Richard explained it to me,” he said when he was done.
    “Don’t you mean Doctor Morgan? It’s rude to call people by their first names unless they’re friends,” I said.
    “He told me to call him Richard. He works with kids like me all the time. He says we’re way more fun than adults.”
    I could imagine that. “I’m just glad you’re safe, sweetheart,” I said. “Imagine what all the kids at school are going to say about your arm!”
    Trevor’s face lit up and he launched into speculations again which allowed me to
