Summary
“I need to get out of this dress,” Mel said abruptly.
Frank went very still beside her, his voice was quieter, lower too, “oh, yeah?”
“Yes. I get very overstimulated by unfamiliar fabrics, and this kind of zipper always digs in.”
“Right,” he said, leaning back again with a chuckle to himself, running a hand across his face. “Right.”

“Would you…” he begins, hesitating briefly. “Would you like me to explain it to you, what the letter means and why you reacted so?” he asks, watching her carefully under half-lidded eyes. “Oh, yes” she says, nodding emphatically, her lips stretching into a sudden beaming smile. How silly of me, to think Francis would be upset. He only wants to help, she thinks to herself, feeling a sudden rush of affection for the young prince.
“Are you certain, little Mouse? You are clever enough to understand the subtext behind my speech, are you not?” Mel frowns at the vague nature of his words, again, not totally understanding. But her desire for knowledge outweighs, and she nods in response to Francis’s questioning. “Okay,” Frank says, breaking the tension on his face with a devilish smile.

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
Although Dr. Mel King loved the adrenaline-fueled chaos of emergency medicine, she harbored a secret passion for writing — specifically, steamy romance novels.
When she’s offered a chance at publication, there’s only one major obstacle standing in her way: her painfully limited experience with the kind of heat her readers crave.
Luckily for Mel, there’s a charming and very willing senior resident who’s more than happy to offer his hands-on assistance… all in the name of research, of course.Bookmarked by kpretzel

Summary
“I love used books,” she proffers, eager to be a normal person. “I love when books have a story.”
“Well, I’d say if a book doesn’t have a story, it’s a pretty sad excuse for a book.”
Mel can’t help herself—she snorts. “I didn’t realize you owned the shop,” Mel says quickly, embarrassed. “That must be nice—”
“Yeah, it is,” Frank answers distractedly. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty sure I just saw two time Emmy award winning actress Mel King snort at a joke I made.”
So he really did know her, then, wow.
“Well I’m not sure anyone will believe you,” she jokes lightly.
“Yeah,” Frank breathes, his eyes roving over her face in a stunned sort of awe. “I don’t think anyone will.”

Summary
All of Mel's boyfriends.
Mel would never presume that Frank Langdon is boyfriend material.
Those were the words Princess had used once—though in a very different tone, after she’d stared a little too long at the new radiologist who’d come down for a consult.
“What about me?” Frank had said, winking at her like a dog begging for a treat.
It had made Mel feel inexplicably sad.
Set some time after season two.

The most important change in his life though? He couldn’t decide if it was the best thing that could have happened to him or what would end up killing him in the end. He couldn’t really care less either way. Melissa King was one of the brightest stars in the sky as far as he was concerned.

“I really thought we could — right there, please, yes — be friends,” she keens, rocking into him.
He’s quick to nod, picking up speed.
“We can be friends. Oh, we can be friends, Mel. We can be anything you want,” Frank babbles into the skin of her cheek.

“Good.” Frank purses his lips, accentuating the dimple on his chin, “Because- you know. That’s what you are to me. Like my mommy- always taking care of me when I fuck up.”
She tilts her head sympathetically, holding his square jaw in her tiny hands, “Mhm- I don’t like seeing my baby sick. Drinking when he knows he’s not supposed to.”
Frank rubs his cheeks against her soft palms, “I need my mommy to make me all better now."
Mel’s thin lips hang open, stunned from his sincerity. Her clit silently throbs in her underwear, sending a pounding ache to her belly, realizing in that moment she cannot deny her true nature. She must tend to the hurt and aid the desperate. Mel whispers to the sick man laid out in front of her, "Maybe I can help.”

“Sorry, I– I wanted to return it but I kept getting pulled into different cases and I couldn’t find you and when I did you weren’t alone and I thought it would be awkward for you if I returned it front of someone else so I’ve been holding on to it and I’m really sorry it took me all day, I swear I didn’t–”
“Breathe,” he reminds her, cutting her off with a calm voice and gentle smile in the face her distress. “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” Poor thing, he thought, she really thought I’d be mad at her over a silly little ring?
