The Doctor's Mate

Chapter 16

Elise's POV

Michael didn't let me down until we were upstairs in his room. My shirt had been torn a little from the the wolf and Michael was still but naked. Thank God he lives in the country! Michael walked over to his dresser and pulled on a pair of boxers. He quickly got dressed as I walked to my room and changed my shirt. I pulled on a tank top and over it a sweatshirt from high school. My pants were dirty so I decided to change into another pair of jeans.

As I was looking in a box for the pair I wanted Michael came behind me and started messing with the hem of my shirt. "Michael stop." I said, it came out a lot more harsh than I had wanted it to. Michael didn't let go of me.

"Tell me what happened in those woods that's scaring you."

"Well it might be the wolf that attacked me." I said flatly. Maybe I'm a better liar than I thought

"Elise, don't play that game with me. I'm not dumb, I'm your mate. Tell me now." His voice showed authority.

"No. Leave it alone!" I managed to pull myself free and grab the jeans. I quickly slipped them on, not even thinking about Michael being right there. "Let's go." I walked right out the front door not even looking at Michael. I heard the front door slam as I got in his car. He stormed over to the car and managed to slam that one just as hard. We drove in silence until we got to the hospital. I opened my door and tried to get out when Michael grabbed my hand. I thought back to the first night I talked to him and he dropped me off.

He pulled me back into the car. "I'm sorry. I want to know everything about you Elise. I like everything about you and nothing could ever change that. Nothing that happened in your past, absolutely nothing." He pulled me farther into the car so that my feet were now on his leather seat and my butt was on his lap. He leaned forward and kissed me. Just like that I wanted to blurt out everything that had happened.

Michael snaked his arm around my waist and turned me so that I was straddling him. My door then slammed shut as Michael trailed his hands down my back. He got to the end of my shirt and slowly put his hand in. I shuddered a little but didn't make him stop. I tugged lightly at his hair as his hand went higher up my back. He stopped his hand on my bra clasp. "Michael... W-we are in a parking l-lot. You are gonna be late f-for work." I stuttered out as he moved the clasp between his forefinger and thumb.

"It's worth being late."

"Not if you lose your job!"

"Just means more time with you babe." He kissed my neck, sucking on the spot he had already made a hickey.

"Mmmm... No! We can't." My eyes went wide as I realized I was in a car. I pulled back and looked into Michael's eyes pleading with him to stop. His eyes went from a gold, to black, to his normal blue. He sighed and gently opened his door and let me walk out first. I waited for him to get out.

Michael grabbed my had and pulled me along with him. I couldn't get payed for what I was doing tonight, not that I really minded. I followed Michael to the elevator and then dropped his hand. "Um.. You go, I'll take the stairs." He frowned and stepped out of the elevator.

"I will pick you up and force you into the elevator if I have to. You aren't even working, you are a visitor which gives you the okay to use the elevator. Get in." I shook my head. "Then you leave me know choice." Michael went for my waist as I stepped back. I didn't want to make a scene but I really didn't want to get in the elevator. Michael picked me up by my waist, this time not throwing me over his shoulder but just carrying me into the elevator. It caused quite a few stared but he didn't seem to mind.

We got up to my floor and I eagerly ran out of the elevator as Michael chuckled. He had to stay on and go up a few more floors. I walked straight to a Colin's room. He was laying in his bed looking bored and tired. I had been told by Michael that since he wasn't technically even old enough to shift his wolf wouldn't be strong enough to heal him and he would still have to go through normal procedures.

"Hey buddy."

"Elise!" He sat up straight, in the process knocking over his bottle of water. I laughed and went to the bathroom to grab some towels. As I kneel by his bed and quickly wipe up the water the door opens. I'm about to stand when Colin pushes my head down. Confused i look at him but he continues to look at the door.

"I can smell her Colin. You can't hide her."

"Dang it!" I smile and get up off the floor.

"Hi Calen."

Michael's POV

It was around eleven when I was finally done with work. Elise had started at seven but I had yet to see her. I hadn't even really smelled her. I mean I smelled her everywhere but there was no area that was stronger than another. It was really driving me crazy!

I walked down to her floor and walked to the desk. "Hi, can you tell me where Elise is?"

"Sorry Doctor Lukes, I don't know. Is there something you need her for?"

"Yeah, tell her to call me when she is ready to come home. And if she doesn't call before 10 tonight I'm just coming to get her."

"Of coarse Doctor Lukes... Is there something us nurses should know about you two?" she raises her eyebrow. I simply smile and shrug my shoulders and walk over to the elevator. I walk out of the hospital and to my car, preparing myself for a silent drive home.

Once home I go straight to the garage and begin working on my old truck. It's rusted and dented in a few places, not really a looker for a car but it use to be a perfect truck. I had used it after my dad died for anger, poor truck never saw my wolf coming, well neither did I but still. I planned on cleaning up the truck and taking Elise to the beach with it. We could have a similar date to the one she had told me about before. The only difference is it would be on a computer because I don't know many drive up theaters here in NYC.

As I work Calen texts me asking me if I can hang out. I reply that I'm working on the truck and he says he'll be over in ten with paint for me. I smile and shove my phone in my pocket and wipe my oily hands on my face wiping away sweat. The garage door is banged on and then opened. Calen walks in with paint for my truck and food. "Figured you'd be hungry."
