I have spent six weeks shadowing Dr. Rhys Evans, and my mentor is still the one man I cannot figure out.
He is my boss, a veterinarian I should treat as a teacher, and the reason I lie awake wanting what a student is not supposed to crave.
I tell myself he sees only the student at his side, yet his gaze turns intent when I falter and his attention lingers on my chest whenever he thinks I will miss it.
College stress has left me with a milky secret I have to conceal, and concealing anything from a man this watchful is nearly impossible, especially on my last day.
He has held himself in check until now, but that restraint is finished; he wants all of me, not a single night but forever, determined to fill me and plant a future he can watch grow.
I came to learn veterinary medicine, and I am about to belong to him in every way he has decided to take.
