The ointment was cool and soothing , and Sloane could tell just by the smell that it was made from rare and precious herbs . But at the moment , her attention was completely captured by Lucas's hands . Those hands were works of art . Slender and strong , with pale , well - proportioned fingers and sharply defined joints , exuding a quiet elegance . Even something as mundane as applying medicine became mesmerizing under his hands . Sloane grumbled inwardly . Why couldn't these hands be mine ? She then looked up at Lucas's face and thought ... When God created him , he clearly didn't intend for anyone else to compete . Ahem ! " Samson cleared his throat when he saw Sloane staring intently at Lucas . " Ms. Rivers , your performance today was truly outstanding ! " Sloane's gaze sharpened slightly . She glanced meaningfully at the mess of overturned water cups in front of Samson but said nothing .
