The hotel door opened, and Brad stepped into the room with a tower of coffee cups stacked on top of each other. He was paying attention to the cups in an attempt to keep them upright.
Jack quickly pulled the sheet up over his head. Jesus Christ. Hide!!! What was he going to do? He waited and listened as Brad set the coffee on a table.
"Dr. Jack? Are you awake?"
Oh, no. He knows it's me, Jack thought. Oh crap, it's my room. Oh, dear Lord! He pulled the sheet down warily.
"I'm so sorry, Brad," he sputtered. "We were drunk ... uhhh ... It was a horrible mistake ... I am sooooo very sorry!"
He had seen so many of his friends and contemporaries have their practices damaged by affairs. Partners and nurses, partners and partners, partners and spouses, and yes, even partners and sexy little drug reps. And here he was caught dead-to-rights sleeping with his partner's fiancΓ©.
"I feel just awful!" he added.
"It's OK, Jack," Brad said with his palms outstretched in front of him. "I admit that it's not the outcome I was looking for either, but we actually are the ones who owe you an apology."
"What?" Jack responded, not quite sure he'd heard the younger doctor right. Why would he be owed an apology? For sleeping with Brad's gorgeous, sexy woman who he'd secretly yearned for since he'd first laid eyes on her gorgeous face?
He glanced over at Dani, still softly sleeping. He regretted having not pulled the sheet higher up her body. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shame as he took notes of the clear signs of his rough behavior the night before.
"It was all Dani's fault, really" Brad explained, "She wanted to show you that what she'd said about R-Dor wasn't just the usual drug company hype -- that it really is on another level in comparison with those other ED drugs."
Jack was stunned by the words. The reality of Brad's confession interrupting the train of self-loathing he was experiencing.
"She gave me the drug last night? That's why I became an animal?" Jack said, at once upset by the idea he'd been drugged but also slightly relieved there was some sort of explanation for his behavior.
"Actually, she overdosed you, not being a doctor or even a very smart person," Brad said, looking down at Dani. "I'm guessing that it had a much greater effect on you than she expected, and I doubt this is the kind of outcome that will make you change your mind about it."
Jack looked at Brad in confusion. He felt the bed move and turned to look at Dani. She had rolled into her side and was now awake, looking up at him dreamily.
"It was very bad of me, Dr. Jack," she whispered. "I was very, very bad. I'd say you should punish me for it, but you kind of took care of that last night." Dani giggled at her own joke.
"Dani! This is serious," Brad reprimanded, looking down at her on the bed. "You could have made Jack very sick."
"Whhhyyyy?" Jack asked in a slow drawl. "Is it unsafe?"
"NO!" she said, sitting up, clutching the sheet to her body. "Brad is explaining this all wrong. It was a little unexpected reaction to getting a little too much R-Dor. Maybe because of your age, and because you were so tired, and had too much to drink."
"All things that any prospective patient can experience." Dr. Jack said
"Ok, sure," she admitted. She turned to Brad. "Can I speak with Dr. Jack alone please, Brad."
"What? No."
She winked at Brad, and he did a double take. What did that wink mean? Was she telling him she got this? Was she telling him she loved him and not to worry? Was she asking him to trust her? Because none of that seemed to be true right now.
"Brad, we need to get cleaned up anyway. Could you give us a minute or two?" Dani said in a firmer tone.
How can you take a woman seriously when she has another man's cum all dried on her face and in her hair? When her makeup has been smeared by a big fat Jack that is not yours? When she's sporting another guy's hickeys?
He had his misgivings. What would she do? She had been so out of control last night. Could she be trusted to be alone with Jack after all that happened between them. That drug is supposed to be longer lasting. Could the old man still get it up this morning? This was nuts.
Still, Brad knew there was no arguing with Dani when she struck that tone. She had a way of getting her way.
"Ok, but I'll be back in 10 minutes. Jack, don't let her do anything crazy." Reluctantly, he picked up his coffee and left the room looking over his shoulder all the way.

Jack looked at Dani like a frightened little mouse. He pulled the sheet up under his neck like Doris Day in some 1950s bedroom farce. Dani, on the other hand, had let the sheet fall and sat in bed with her large, perfectly shaped breasts completely exposed. Jack couldn't help but notice she'd seen the need to cover herself with Brad still in the room but now, just with him, she sat there unafraid to display her incredible body.
"Hey, Jack," she said in a slow, sexy voice.
Don't talk in that sultry way, Jack thought, It will make you so much harder to withstand.
"Hello," Jack said, the one word timidly escaping his lips.
Dani rolled onto her side again and began to move toward him, inching her way along the bed until she was face to face.
"Can I tell you something?" her voice still low and impossibly sexy, her perfect lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"What?"
"That was the hottest night of my life."
"What!"
"Last night. What we did," Dani said. "The way you fucked me. Just pounding me into a fine powder. You just took me and took me like you owned me, and it was just...."
Dani let out a very satisfied sounding moan as she replayed the events in her head.
