CHAPTER 9

“John?”

John didn’t respond as he held her close. He huffed impatiently as the elevator lowered into the workshop. With Sabrina in his arms, all he could think of was getting to the medical supplies he kept under his workbench. So the moment the elevator cleared the loading dock’s floor, he activated the anti-gravity generators. Stepping clear of the lowering platform, John sailed through the air with Sabrina still clutched in his arms.

He landed with a heavy thud and John paused, before swiping his arm across the bench, sending all the equipment to the floor.

“John?”

“You’re going to be okay,” John growled.

Placing her on the table, he spotted her wince and stopped. Taking her by the hip, John rolled her onto one side and saw a second injury. It was just a scratch, but it was a scratch on that perfect bubble-butt of hers. He grit his teeth with anger, before gently rolling her back.

“John I’m fine,” Sabrina tried again.

John shook his head and took her sleeve in his hands. Sabrina gasped as John tore it open, peeling it away from her skin. Ignoring her exposed breast, John gently lifted her arm to examine the wound and…

“See.”

John sighed and nodded her head. “Hold still.”

His heart beat in his chest. He saw the blood, he knew about the rifle and feared the worst. Logic told him she was conscious, so it was only a flesh wound. But like that perfect ass of hers, it was just a slight graze. With a sigh, John stepped out of the suit and Aura took control, moving it away as he bent over. Beneath the workbench was in fact his medical supplies and John quickly got together a few items. Some gauze, disinfectant spray and some saline.

“I’m okay, John.”

“I’m still going to clean this up.”

She sighed and held out her arm while John took a second look. The blood was already coagulating. But he knew bullets weren’t sterile. Not to mention, there was a slight chance there could be something else going on. Depending on who sent the team, the bullets could be poisonous, radioactive or even coated with nanites designed to cause havoc in other ways.

So John wasted no time in gently wiping away the sticky blood, while washing it with the saline. Sabrina hissed softly as he worked, but she held still. John continued until he could detect no trace of debris or clotted blood. Then he picked up the disinfectant.

“I’ll hold my breath, shall I?”

John took her hand and gave it a squeeze. She, in turn, held it to her face and nuzzled it. Just like a cat would. John smiled and placed the hand on her injured arm on his shoulder and got the spray ready. He didn’t give her a count down. He didn’t want her to anticipate anything. So he just hit it and felt her tense. Right before he felt a sharp pressure snap down on the side of his hand. With a wince, John turned his attention back to Sabrina, who was still biting his hand.
