Maybe she was a masochist after all. God knows what else couldve compelled her to attend someone elses party on her birthday. Dr. Elle Mc. Cray shifted against the worn wooden chair and traced her fingertip over the smooth with time initials that had been gouged into the table of Parrains Po. Boys. D R 4. Ever  Forever. Sure. Thats a realistic plan, D and R. Good luck with that. She flattened her palm over the strangers engraving and tried not to look as if she were about to jump out of her skin. She shouldve never come. The food was good and the music all right, but the festive atmosphere was grating against her mood and drawing blood. Dr. Marin Rush had gotten a permanent position at The Grove, the elite mental health institute where they all worked, and everyone was celebrating. Yay for Marin. Shed also gotten the guy. Donovan West, former resident of Elles bed, was currently wrapped up in an embrace with Marin, smiling like a love drunk idiot. Radiating,for Gods sake. The deep fried shrimp Elle had eaten a few minutes ago turned in her stomach. Ugh. She hated the knee jerk reaction seeing the two of them caused. Why should she care one way or the other She didnt even like Donovan West. Personality wise, theyd always been incompatible. But hed been a convenient solution to her no dating policy. Donovan had seemed as uninterested in a relationship as she was and was fine keeping it strictly physical. It had worked. But somehow, a new, younger psychologist had strolled onto the scene and had woken up a part of Donovan that Elle hadnt even known existed. Elle had been discarded like yesterdays takeout. And thatthat feeling of losinghad stirred up old crap and turned her into some embarrassing version of herself. The jealous shrew. God. Shed tried to get Marin fired, all because Elles pride had been dingedand her feelings hurt. The thought was enough to make her want to gag. She was not that type. She was not that woman who fought over a guy. When shed caught her husband cheating, shed walked away without fighting for him, without letting him see her flinch. She couldnt hold on to much dignity with what had happened in her marriage, but shed held on to that. Until now. So every time she looked at Marin and Donovan together, that was all she could think about. Ive become that woman. I screwed up and let myself feel something for a man. Once again, the man had reminded her exactly why she couldnt let her guard down. Hed bailed, leaving her looking pathetic and petty. Runner up to some other woman. Again. Second place. First loser. It was her own fault. Shed broken her rules. Lesson learned. Never again. That was the main reason shed forced herself to this partyto show that she wasnt bothered, that she was a grown up. That, and the fact that it was her birthday and it felt a little too pathetic staying home alone for it. Not that anyone knew her calendar had clicked over to a new year today. The only birthday card in her mailbox had been from her mother. The inscription had been the same as the one on the Christmas card shed received from her a few weeks ago. Best wishes. Love, Mom. Thered been an expensive bottle of Pinot Noir delivered with it. Elle had brought it to the party as a gift, an olive branch of sorts. Shed even managed to congratulate Marin and mostly mean it. At the end of the day, it wasnt Marin she was angry with. The situation with Donovan had been fucked up before the woman had ever arrived on campus. As if hearing her name from Elles thoughts, Marin glanced her way, a wrinkle in her brow. The woman was probably wondering why Elle had shown up. Theyd managed to forge a professional working relationship in the last month or so, but they were not friends who hung out after work and would never be. But before Elle could attempt to give some sort of polite, nothing to see here nod, Marin walked with purpose over to one of the other guests. The man she singled out turned and offered Marin a smile full of warmth and affection, the expression lighting his already too handsome face. An unwelcome ripple of awareness went through Elle. Great. With all her ruminating, she hadnt noticed him walk in. Lane Cannon. Resident sex surrogate for The Groves sex therapy wingor the X wing, as most of the staff had dubbed it. Big. Blond. And way too cocky for his own good. Though, he probably should be, considering hed figured out how to make a legitimate living sleeping with their wealthy, often famous clients. Therapeutic assistant. That was his official title. But in her opinion, getting some certificate in California didnt make what he did much different than being a prostitute who happened to be a good listener. Shed said as much to a colleague one day when hed suggested one of the patients may benefit from Lanes services. Of course, Lane had walked up and overheard her calling him a hooker. He hadnt said a word, but the dimpled smirk hed given her had held a big dose of go fuck yourself. Then, hed proceeded to talk to her colleague about the patient and ignore Elle completely. First, it had pissed her off. It was her wing, dammit. Her patients. Shed started to interrupt, but then hed sent her a look of simmering challenge, brow cocked, eyes daring her. For some reason, it had sent a rush of wildfire through Elle, heating her from the inside out, and itd had nothing to do with anger. Microsoft Train Simulator Patches Downloads Folder. She was so used to people deferring to her, being exceedingly polite, being professional because she was a doctor, because she was a boss, because she was in charge. Because she could be a scary bitch and didnt apologize for it. But with that one look, Lane had thrown down the challenge. You dont intimidate me, doctor. You dont impress me. Just try and play those games and see what happens. It had been further proof that her wires were tangled now when it came to sex and men. Other women wanted romance, sweetness, love.
