“Rough and tumble?”
“Whatever. Let me assure you, there is no new woman in my life.”
“My mistake, then.” Amy wasn’t fazed by her incorrect assumption. Nine times out of ten, she was right. She motioned with her eyes to someone behind him. “Lucky for that woman over there. She’s staring at you with definite interest.”
The gorgeous brunette was tall with short hair, a voluptuous mouth, and a killer body. Just Daniel’s type.
He cringed visibly. “Christ. She’s stalking me.” He edged Amy toward the speakers.
“Stalking you?” Anyone who looked like that didn’t need to stalk Daniel. All she had to do was send him a knowing glance and her friend would happily respond.
“Okay, bad choice of words, but I can’t get rid of her. Every time I turn around, she’s there.” He put his hands on her hips. “Dance with me? Maybe that’ll put her off.”
Amy let the music flow through her, trying to ignore the heat pulsating from Daniel’s hands. “You’re avoiding her? That’s so unlike you. She’s gorgeous.”
“Yeah, well, that’s not all she is.”
“What do you mean?”
“Long story.”
“I’ve got time.”
He shifted. “It’s awkward.”
“Oh please. You don’t do awkward with gorgeous women. Come on, ’fess up. Who is she?”
He danced a little closer and spoke a little softer. “Promise not to make a big deal about it?”
Amy nodded.
“Her name’s Leona Ramsey. She’s a pediatrician at POWS. Ever since I walked into the ward, she’s been…flirting. At first I was flattered, but she’s getting pretty explicit.” He shook his head. “It’s bad, Morgan. She won’t give up.”
Amy wasn’t seeing the problem. “And this bothers you…why?”
“She’s married.”
“Ah, right. So tell her you’re not interested.”
He gave her a funny look. “I have. She won’t listen.”
“Was your message clear?”
“I said I don’t do married women and I won’t make an exception for her. Could I be any clearer?”
A grin tugged at the corners of her mouth. “What are you going to do?”
“No idea. Any suggestions?”
“You’re the king of dumping women. Surely you have a plan.”
“Not a single one.”
They danced in silence for a while. Amy tried to keep her mind on Daniel’s problem, but she found herself distracted by the sensual way he moved to the music. The Script slowed the beat down, and Daniel pulled her into a loose embrace. They swayed comfortably together, although she began to feel a little too snug in her friend’s arms.
Hot liquid pooled between her legs, kindling an awareness that shouldn’t have been there.
“Leona’s still watching you.” The woman stood to the side. Her gaze hadn’t left Daniel.
