The Second Chance Workplace Romance Collection

Dr. Jack Reynold lost his mind and university hospital’s research assistant, Amy Taylor was smart to send him away when he approached her after what had transpired the day before. Thoughts of what had gone right and wrong had dawned heavily on her; Jack’s fingertips plucked her puffy pregnant n*ppl*s as she jerked his c*ck almost causing the doctor to ejaculate on her desk. They almost made out and didn’t only because Amy was called on the PA system to the first floor.

She’s eight months pregnant and her verbally-abusive cocky boyfriend, Frank Ramsey works at the city’s best hospital down the road. Amy and Frank have had problems since she became pregnant and Frank often leaves her for days telling her he’s away for work. Amy’s not innocent either; she’s crossed the line with a few guys, flirting her curves and teasing but she hasn’t been totally unfaithful. When she has the baby, she just wants to leave Frank.

The sensual encounter came into play that night, when Jack Reynold was in bed with his wife of fifteen years, Kate. She reached over and Jack woke up.

“Come closer, honey.”

Jack came and began fondling Kate’s breasts. He really wanted her but now that she’s seeing a woman as well, she wasn’t his. Jack’s c*ck rose and Kate lifted her nightie for him to put it in her. Their ooohs and ahhhs could be heard throughout the dawn and after forty-five minutes, Jack was at the end of the bed, feeling unclean for having s*x with his wife.

“You okay, honey?” Kate said, lighting up a cigarette.

“Yeah, just have a headache.”

“Come here. Let me make it feel better.”

Jack laid back as Kate massaged his head. They fell back to sleep until it was time for Jack to leave for work.

Jack stumbled through another day, his mind searched for reasons why’s he still with his wife. He never had thoughts about another woman until that episode with Amy. He knows that he and Kate are only together for the sake of their son Mark. 

Kate started seeing one of her friends, Marlene while they were working at SmithKline and Beecham. Jack was away in Dubai for a month for a doctor’s conference and Kate blamed his absence for her transgression.  

Jack came home from work and took a breath before stepping inside. Mark was on the sofa, stretched out reading the book, The Odyssey.

“Hey, son, where’s your mother?”

“She’s outside, Dad,” he said waving in the direction of the back.

Kate was hanging out the laundry. 

“Hey, Kate.”

“Jack?” Kate said jumping.

“I’m sorry. I startled you. I’ve been thinking—”

“Thinking about what, sweetheart?”

“About going out for dinner tonight. Just me and you. I think Mark will be okay for a few hours.”

“Where?”

“Margaret’s.” He overheard Amy Taylor talking about Margaret’s to her colleagues at work.

“So—you want to take me to Margaret’s? What’s that for?”

“Just want to spend some quality time with you—”

“I see—all right, then. Did you make the reservations yet?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Well, if we want to eat tonight, I’d call them right away.”

Nine o’clock was the earliest time and Jack took it. “Be a gentleman,” he said as he put on his best suit seeing he hadn’t shaven in weeks. Between the long hours at work, his son’s soccer practices and Kate’s rendezvous with her lover Marlene, Jack’s probably violated his hospital’s grooming protocols. Yet, Amy likes it, his brain remarked replaying the scene at the lab. Jack sighed forcing the memory to go away as he showered.

When he came out of the bathroom, Kate was there, arms crossed. “Out, Dr. Reynolds, my turn,” she said pushing Jack out of the way.

“Okay, okay.”

When they are ready to leave, they go to Mark who’s playing with his Nintendo Switch in the living room. 

“Son, your mother and I are heading out for dinner. I trust you won’t burn the house down while we’re gone.” Jack said looking in the mirror. “How do I look?”

“Nice, Dad.”

“Hey, put that Gameboy down and read another chapter?” Kate said.

“Mom, it’s
