No, she firmly told herself. While he was a gorgeous man, she wasn’t going there. She’d never date another soldier.
Knife in hand, she held it over the box of supplies. Shipments came in weekly, and she was usually on duty when they did. She didn’t mind the busy work between patients. But today she wasn’t getting much done because the soldier wheeling in the boxes was gorgeously built, swoon-worthy Jason Ford.
He seemed to be in good form, not grimacing as he worked, which was a relief to her. She hated seeing anybody in pain, but something about him had hit her in a soft spot.
He and Lincoln both.
What the hell was wrong with her? She’d been trying to separate them in her mind, but since they’d popped into her life at the same time and neither seemed to have plans of leaving, she thought of them the same way.
“Here, let me do that.” Ford reached over her and plucked the knife from her hand. In one sleek glide, he slit the box top to reveal foam peanuts.
God, his scent was amazing. Did he shower in the same place the other guys did? Because he smelled as though he’d come out of a freshwater lake with the summer air drying all that muscle.
The image blazed through her mind, and she glanced at him from beneath her lashes.
“You smell good,” he said quietly near her ear, echoing what she’d been thinking about him.
“Thank you.” She wanted to step away—needed to. But he was a magnet and she was metal. She wanted to move closer.
“What do you do with your free time? Maybe you’d want to get a drink with me?”
“No, she wouldn’t.” The deep, gritty tone speared through Allison like the knife Ford had taken from her. Every hair on her body stood up and took notice of the man who’d entered the room even though she hadn’t looked at him yet. Her heart rate doubled. Her breath hitched and her thighs pressed together and warm liquid pooled between her thighs to wet her underwear. All at once.
Slowly, she turned. Ford didn’t move away and tried to barricade Lincoln from seeing her.
“What the fuck’re you doing here, Ford?”
“Light duty, remember? I’m hauling in supplies for Allison.”
Lincoln looked around the brick wall of man and met Allison’s stare. Something hot and bright flared inside her, like a firework in the night sky. She scooted out from behind Ford in order to get a closer look at the man who could make her feel such things. Ford was handsome and his attention felt good when his gaze caressed over every inch of her body.
But Lincoln...
Her body came alive whenever he was near. She came three times last night dreaming about him. Those hard, callused hands working every inch of her body. The hard, raspy voice he would use on her telling her to cum for him. She imagined him moving over her, his hard cock spilling inside her, over her, in her mouth.
Fuck. She wanted all of him all over her.
All three orgasms left her exhausted and she could feel their lingering effect fire up now that Lincoln was so close.
“Why the fuck are you here?” Ford shot back Lincoln’s own words.
“Having my stitches removed today. So get lost so I can have a moment with Allison.”
The way he said that didn’t sound as though he were concerned about having her undivided attention while she removed his stitches. A shiver passed through her and reached for her nipples as if alive.
“Guys, you know I can’t have this kind of chest-thumping here. So Ford, why don’t you keep doing your job while I see to Lincoln’s foot?”
They glared at each other, ignoring her.
Tension rolled off them in waves, and she stepped between them. Heat washed over her frontandback made her dizzy, but she managed to say, “Break it up. Take this argument elsewhere if you must, but this isn’t the place.”
“I’ll see ya around,” Lincoln shot out as Allison grabbed his arm and forced him to follow her into a space far on the opposite side of the triage unit.
The minute Lincoln hitched himself on the table, he caught her hand and looked deep into her eyes. He pulled her into him. She felt as if she was falling and if he weren’t holding onto her, she might have tipped right into his arms.
“I don’t like that asshole near you, sweetheart.”
Her face reddened.
