“Your boyfriend’s here.”

Rolling her eyes, Juliette told Elizabeth, “For the hundredth time, he’s not my boyfriend.” She didn’t have time for Elizabeth’s childish tone, let alone boyfriends. She was a busy ER doctor with two dogs at home to take care of when she wasn’t busting her ass saving lives. She did not date; though if there was ever a man who made her want to make time it was Max Domi.

Ever since she had treated his diabetes induced fainting spell a few months ago, the man had become a pleasant, if rare, distraction from her otherwise hectic life. Even though she knew she had definitely crossed the line when she had agreed to drive him home. And she really took it too far when she accepted his offer of a drink. And when they tumbled into bed together not long after said drink? Well, she had reasoned she wasn’t TECHNICALLY his doctor and silenced any internal ethical protests. Besides, the man was built like a brick house, busier than she was most weeks, and not adverse to having hot, non-committal sex when the timing worked out. How was she supposed to say no to that?

Elizabeth, however, was just itching for it to be something more. “Ok, well, your whatever, man friend is here. I told them to put him in the last on-call room.”

Flipping the pages of her report back down on to the clipboard Juliette handed the whole thing off to the nurse. “Thanks, Amy. I’m taking a ten. Page me if anything interesting comes in or if the guy in room five wakes up.”

Elizabeth smacked her ass as she waked by. “Make it a fifteen, live a little.”

“Don’t you have rounds, Dr. Shaw?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m going.” Elizabeth got back to work and Juliette smiled a little as she went through the swinging doors and down the hall towards the doctor’s quarters. The on-call rooms at her hospital were spartan, as most are, a desk and a bed, the latter of which was used more often than the former.

When she got the end of the hall, she opened the door without knocking, smiling when she saw him. “Hey, Max.”

“Hi, darling. You’re a hard girl to find.” He stood, kissing her cheek softly.

She felt slightly guilty, but what did he expect when he came to see her at the hospital? She gave his shoulder a squeeze. “Were you waiting long?”

“Not too bad.”

“What’s up? You feeling ok?” She figured if something was wrong, he wouldn’t be hanging out in the on-call room, but she asked just to be sure, doctor habit.

He gave her a knowing look. “I’m great. Orion’s keeping me in line. I just wanted to bring you this.” He held out a paper bag by the folded down top and dropped it into her outstretched hands.

“What is it?”

“Something to make you smile. I hope.”

A grin formed on her face as she opened the bag. When she pulled out the cannoli, she groaned in delight. “Ugh, God, these are my favorite. You remembered?”

Max was glowing. “I did. I know you’re busy, so I don’t wanna bother you, but I know you don’t eat much during these long shifts. Figured I could bring you a little something to make sure you don’t starve to death.”

Juliette was already taking a bite of the cream filled pastry. “Mmm, so damn good. I’d offer you a bite, but -”

Max laughed. “Yeah, no, that would be bad. It’s for you. Enjoy it.”

She savored it like nothing else, licking her fingers when she was done, trying to make sure she got every last taste of it. She wiped her hands on the napkin that was in the bag and then wrapped her arms around Max. His palms found her hips, bringing her in close. “You’re an angel. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. When do you get off?”

She checked her watch and then returned her hand to his back. “Only seven more hours.”

“Damn, I was gonna offer to meet up, rub your feet, rub a few other things…”

The thought of a massage and stress relieving sex with Max made Juliette groan more than that cannoli had. “You’re a tease.”

“I know. Too bad I’ve a got a flight in five hours.”

“Like ships passing in the night, as always.”

His smile was slightly sad. “Like always.” They shared a mutual moment of silence for their broken non-plans and he shrugged. “Alright. I should go. You have doctoring to do. I have to pack.”

“I’ve got a few minutes to spare. At least kiss me.”

“That I can do.”

His smiling lips met hers and she hugged his body against her. Their kiss was gentle, soft, contrasting beautiful with the firmness of his hard body under her palms. This was what she appreciated most about Max; they wouldn’t see each other for weeks, but then he would show up out of the blue with pastries and a kiss that made her toes curl. No matter how long they were apart, when they came together it was always familiar, as if no time at all had passed.

Max deepened the kiss for just a few seconds and then pulled back, planting a few pecks against her lips to end it. “You gotta go, Jules.”

Juliette released her hold on his body and looked at her watch again, she was definitely out of time. She should have said goodbye, because he was right, she had to go. Instead, she decided that she could make time for this and grabbed her pale blue scrub top from the bottom hem, pulling it off, leaving her in a simple purple bra. “I have absolutely no time for this, Max. Make it fast.”

Max grinned, quirking an eyebrow at her. “Dr. Lewison, are you trying to seduce me?”

Returning his smile, she pulled her matching blue pants down and off as she kicked off her shoes. Her bright pink panties with a yellow hearts design both amused and aroused him. “I might be, Mr. Domi. How ‘bout it?”

He peeled off his shirt and then he was on her, grabbing her ass with both hands, kissing her deeply, and pushing her towards the tiny twin-sized bed. She bounced down on it when her knees hit the edge and she immediately started taking off her bra as he worked on his shorts and boxers.

Max knelt on the bed, removing her panties and watching as she spread her legs for him, wearing nothing but a smile. He stroked his half hard cock, pulling at the length to make it grow. He definitely hadn’t planned on sex, but it didn’t take him long to get ready. To help him along even faster, Juliette stroked a hand over her mound and pussy, closing her eyes and moaning softly.

Laughing slightly, Max just watched her, still jerking his cock to get fully hard. “This is has to be a major doctor no-no.”

Juliette opened her eyes as she slipped two fingers into her pussy. This was a terrible idea and she knew that, but Max had a way of making her not care about the consequences, not one bit. Nodding she said, “The doors don’t lock either, so I was serious, you better hurry before we get caught.”

His face was smug, sexy. “You know I can do it fast, darling.”

The bed was barely big enough for a normal sized person to get comfortable in, so with Max and his thick frame invading the space, it felt like they were sharing a cot. Still, they made it work and as he settled his hips between her thighs, Juliette reached down to pull him flush against her.

His mouth was on her chest, hands gripping her thighs; she was breathless already. “Max…”

With a mouth wrapped around her nipple he answered, “Mmm…mmm-hmm.” He shoved inside her and Juliette let out a wanton moan that she cut short by slapping a hand over her mouth.

Max just laughed softly, pulling up to see her face as he started to move. “Dr. Lewison, I didn’t do that, did I?”

If he wasn’t so damn cute, she might have been frustrated at his teasing. As it was she pulled his mouth towards hers, said against his lips, “You know what you to do me. I fucking dream about this.”

He kissed her with a quickness that matched his thrusting, nudging her hips open wider with every stroke and filling her mouth with his tongue as his cock drove deep. True to his word he did her fast, putting those bulky thighs and biceps to good use working his body against hers in a race to get them off as quickly as possible.

When Juliette tilted her hips to pull him deeper and thrust up against him, he let out a needy groan and she smiled. “Oh, Max, I didn’t do that, did I?”

He rewarded her with hard thrust and a smile. “That’s what I dream about when I’m on the road, darling. Your pussy pulling at my cock.”

Juliette whimpered and lifted her chin to invite his kiss that served to both silence her exaltations and push her closer to the edge.

When he could barely breath anymore, he released her mouth, resting his forehead on her chest as he sped up even more. His huffed breaths hot and ragged against her skin he told her, “Come on, Jules. Let me feel it.”

She made tiny motions with her hips from underneath his weight and when he brought both hands up to pinch her nipples, she came with a silent, gaping mouth. Max soon followed, pressing sweet kisses on her torso as he came down.

No time to bask in the afterglow, they got dressed quickly. Max pulled her in for one last kiss. “So, when I get back, maybe I can take you on a real date.”

She smiled, but said sarcastically, “Date? What’s that?”

“You know, dinner at a restaurant with real silverware, not plastic takeaway stuff. I’ll even wear a suit.”

Juliette let out a sigh. “I absolutely do not have time for that sort of thing, Max.” He gave her a look like she had just kicked Orion and she clutched him under the chin. “But I would love to.”

His smiled returned, brighter than ever. “Now who’s the tease?”

“Just call me when you’re back in Phoenix. Doctor’s orders.”

“Well now, I always listen to my doctor.”

“In that case, your doctor needs another kiss before you go.”

He did as she asked, grinning and muttering, “Yes, ma’am.”
