A Kiss for Luck (6 page)
“What?” Jackson asked as she pointed over to the other table. He followed her gaze, pulling a face of annoyance when Clara put a finger to her lips, encouraging him to listen.
“So unfair.”
“I know, it has to be because she’s rich,” Faith said, not even being subtle as she and her comrade in arms looked over at them. “All doctors are rich.”
“I wish,” Jackson said, quickly uninterested in eavesdropping as he went back to his chicken. “You can keep me in the style I want to become accustomed.”
“Shh,” she said, laughing at him and his complete disregard for keeping his voice down.

“I worked forty-eight hours last week. That’s extensive for a trophy husband,” he said, a mischievous grin tugging at his lips. “You gotta see what you can do about that.
Aren’t I good to you? Don’t I fuck you well and lick—”
“Oh my God, stop it,” Clara said, laughing harder when she heard the gasp of shock behind her. Finally giving up all pretense of being oblivious to the nastiness at the other table she turned around and raised her eyebrows pointedly at the two nurses.
“We can hear you.”
They at least had the good grace to look abashed, splotches of red coloring their cheeks and necks as Faith said, “Sorry, Dr. Philips.”
“Mmm,” Clara said, turning back around, forgetting her irritation easily when faced with the novelty of enjoying lunch with her husband. She smiled at Jackson, a wave of adoration washing over her that she couldn’t keep in. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” he said, his eyes wide as he shook his head at the nurses behind them and turned his attention back on Clara. He leaned forward, stealing a kiss from her despite being in public. “I can’t wait until tonight. New Year’s is my favorite holiday.”
She smiled broadly, feeling a pulse of excitement for the night and a tradition that always seemed to bring them good luck. “Mine too.”
