a gurney and brought her belongings
inside.
    After everyone left, Raven took a
quick shower, and threw on a comfortable yellow maxi dress and a
pair of flat sandals. She piled her hair into a puffy ponytail at
the top of her head, and slid some lip gloss across her lips. She
had a few more minutes before Kay came back to get her, so she
plopped down on the couch in the living area to call Cannon and let
him know she’d arrived safely.
    “ Thank you again, sis, for
doing this on such short notice.”
    “ No problem.”
    “ Have you met everyone
yet?”
    “ No. Besides Dr. Phillips,
just Dr. Watkins and Kay. She’ll be here soon to retrieve me for
the welcome dinner.”
    “ Ah, yes. The welcome
dinner. I think you’ll enjoy it. Dr. Phillips started those, and
I’ve suggested to the other clinics to do the same. The staff is
very close-knit, like a family, so I’m sure you’ll have no problem
fitting in.”
    “ So far so good,” Raven
stated, even though her thoughts kept trekking back to when she met
Armand. She hoped she could get through her time here without
breaking her rule. A knock at the door sounded.
    “ Gotta go. Kay is
here.”
    “ I’ll check on you in a few
days,” Cannon said before hanging up.
    Grabbing her key from the hook by the
door, Raven opened it.
    She nearly swallowed her gum and just
barely stifled back an, “oh”. Armand stood there, looking even more
handsome and debonair, leaning casually on his own door across from
hers. He’d changed into a pair of khaki Dockers, and a black golf
shirt that was unbuttoned at the collar, exposing delicious skin.
His white coat was draped over his arm, and his stethoscope dangled
from his neck, which she couldn’t stop staring at. She had an
unwavering urge to nibble on it.
    Okay, get it together,
girl. You’re just jet lagged, tired, and hungry.
    “ Ready?” His deep, baritone
voice glided over her like warm hands on her body, and his gorgeous
smile stirred something in the pit of her stomach. She tried to
shrug it off as hunger pains, but she knew that wasn’t it. Or at
least she wasn’t hungry for food.
    Closing the door, she stepped out into
the hallway.
    “ Ready.”

Chapter Two
    Armand sat at a dining table in the
mess hall—as the staff called it—trying his hardest to stay focused
on a conversation with Dr. Watkins about a patient that was
currently in the hospital. However, Armand’s attention kept
wandering toward Raven and her laughter as she chatted with Kay and
some other staff members a table on the other side of the room. She
had a cute Janet Jackson giggle which he found quite pleasant and
girlie.
    He wasn’t sure what to expect when
Cannon called and said his sister Raven would be filling in for the
Ob-Gyn position while the board searched for a new one. Armand
figured she’d be intelligent and serious like her brother, and he
was right on that account. But what he hadn’t expected was a
breathtaking woman with a beautiful smile, witty personality, and
flawless, toffee skin that he found himself imagining bestowing
kisses upon. The strap of her yellow dress kept falling off of her
shoulder, and she would casually slide it back up, not realizing he
found it downright sexy. He wanted nothing more than to slide it
down along with the other one, and pull the dress over her
just-the-right-size-for-his-mouth breasts. Armand figured once he
was done feasting on her beautiful peaches, he’d continue dragging
the dress slowly over her hips and rounded butt so his hands could
squeeze it before letting the dress puddle at her feet.
    His thoughts delved deeper as he
wondered how her skin would feel under his lips and hands, or how
she would taste on his tongue. He already knew she smelled simply
divine, for her scent had been imbedded in his brain from the
moment he spoke to her. Would she make cute giggles or erotic moans
as he devoured her until she could no longer contain
herself?
    A loud crash from the kitchen pulled
him out
