It was an embarrassment how he couldn’t keep his hands off her.
For him, obviously. Not for her.
Ian grabbed his phone and stepped back.
“I totally was,” Jack whispered in her ear as he stood closer to her.
“Keep her foot elevated,” Ian barked. “And find the First-Aid kit.”
She leaned against Jack, breathing in his woodsy scent. Damn, she’d never liked the smell of pine this much before. Just as well, it would be embarrassing to get turned on every time she went into a forest. Or put up a Christmas time.
Jack didn’t move as they heard Ian barking things down his phone.
“Is he always like this?” she asked.
“I’ve only seen him like this when someone he cares about is hurt.”
Right. So it was weird that he’d gone all bonkers when she was hurt since he clearly didn’t care about her.
“Interesting,” Jack muttered.
“What is?” she asked.
“Nothing.”
She decided not to push him for an answer. Sometimes, the things you muttered were better left unheard.
Darn. She should put that on a T-shirt. She could make a fortune.
Her stomach grumbled again.
“Better feed you before your stomach starts to eat you.” Jack grinned down at her.
“It would be just my luck to have a cannibal stomach.”
Jack snorted. “I think you’re safe as long as we feed you.”
She nodded. “Seeing as you look like you eat plenty, I bow to your wisdom.”
“Are you saying I’m fat?” He caged her in, his hands on the counter on either side of her hips as he leaned into her. His mouth was a mere inch from hers and her thighs were parted wide around his body as he studied her. If he could have pushed them together, she would have.
His words had been teasing, his lips twitching as though he wanted to smile. But his eyes told a different story. They were filled with heat.
With fire.
Need rushed through her.
Could she kiss him?
Did she dare?
“No, not fat,” she whispered. “Muscular. Big. Strong.”
“Hmm. That’s better, baby.”
Baby? Had he seriously just called her that? What was happening right now?
“What is happening right now?”
