A Bittersweet Goodbye Rated Explicit
Chance (2016) - Eldon Chance/Jaclyn Blackstone
“Sorry I didn’t make an appointment.”
Dr. Chance looked up from the stack of files he’d been organizing and his breath caught in his throat. He blinked rapidly, fighting down a momentary thought that he might be hallucinating. The vision did not waver as she stepped closer, one corner of her mouth tilting upward.
He cleared his throat. “I thought you were gone for good.”
She tilted her head, a sad smile flitting over her features. “I am.”
Chance stood up from his chair. “Are you… am I talking to Jackie or Jaclyn?”
Rounding the edge of his desk, she looked up from under her lashes at him. “Does it matter?”
“It might,” he hedged.
She offered a sly smile, stepping into his space with purpose. “But do you care?”
Most likely Jackie, then. Jacyln was rarely so brazen with him. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that just yet - though certain parts of his anatomy were already beginning to express a favorable opinion.
Chance’s tongue darted out to wet suddenly dry lips. “This. This is a terrible idea. There’s that detective still watching me. He might have seen you come in.”
Jackie (or Jacyln?)’s eyes went wide in a mockery of innocence. She slid a finger between the buttons on the middle of his shirt. “Case is closed, Eldon.”
“So is my office, in case you hadn’t noticed.” He tilted his head toward the door, where a sign announcing the closure of his practice was posted on the outside. In his head, he was telling her to leave. He needed her to leave. Because he knew he still wasn’t strong enough to step away.
