THIRTY-NINE: Decades Long Experience

KYLE

NOTHING TURNED ME on than watching Amanda in her zone. Her brilliant mind added to the allure that pulled me in like bees to a flower. I was the bee in this story if that wasn't so obvious. And of course Amanda was the flower. THE flower all right.

I loved watching her mind work. It was sexy as hell. Beauty and brains had to be a trademark for her. Whoever came up with that statement must have definitely met her first.

I caught Samantha's scowl from the corner of my eye and I realised what was wrong. She was watching me watch Amanda like a hungry beast with his favourite meal in front of him. Well...

She is my favourite meal after all.

How was I supposed to concentrate when she just discovered something neither of us had ever seen before? The way she was quick to support her claims and theory with facts even a genius would never have come up with. I forgot I was supposed to be the expert in this case and lost myself in her clear conviction and in her words. Samantha cleared her throat and I couldn't care less about her at that moment. Who cared if she knew anyway? I shifted to stare at her longer.

Close your damn mouth and concentrate!

I berated myself whilst looking away. This wasn't the time to get all hot and bothered like a lovesick teenager. It wasn't a good look.

Yes. Concentrate!

Concentrate on running my tongue on every inch of her delectable ski...

"Doctor Kyle do you maybe have something to add?" The haze slowly cleared from my mind as I came into the present. The present which had six pairs of eyes staring at me with an expectation that had me wanting to pluck all their eyes from their skulls. All except for one.

I love her eyes. I love their sparkle. Especially when I make her come with my mo...

"Doctor G?" Shit.

"Yes?"

Allan threw his hands in the air.

"You weren't listening were you? Did you even hear what we've been discussing the past half an hour." I glared at him but that didn't deter him in the least.

"Were you seriously daydreaming? Right now?"

I would force a daydream on you with my fist.

But instead I chose to ignore him and focus on the rest of the team. Okay I'm lying I was focussed on Amanda who was also focussed on me of course.

"What was the question again?" She hid her smile with her hand as she made a show of checking a file in front of her.

"We were talking about how we would fit his heart in his sternum. With his lungs taking up most of the space, it would be nearly impossible. We were asking your opinion since you're the only expert in this room." I raised an eyebrow at that last part. I couldn't hide my smirk at the outrageous look Allan gave Amanda.

"He's the only senior from this department." She said hurriedly. Allan swivelled in his seat.

"What do you mean? I'm the Head of surgery for heaven's sake!" The man was throwing a tantrum.
