They’d given him four weeks medical leave…and Nicolai had survived a week of it. He’d landed on an Italian beach, which was normally prime babe hunting ground. But every time he selected his target and made ready to chat up some likely tourist or Italian with honey-colored skin enveloping heavenly-shaped curves, he pictured those intense blue eyes and heard the medic’s big Slavic laugh bursting from her lean frame.

He hit Aviano Air Base in Italy and hitched a ride back into the Afghanistan theater a couple of weeks ahead of any chance of the medicos releasing him to active flight duty. Still, it was an improvement. He’d been going stir-crazy sitting on his ass in Italy and just watching the scenery walk by—fine scenery though it was.

When he asked for something to keep him busy, classic Army thinking dropped him into a daytime job logging the night’s duty rosters. It placed him in a whole different section of the base, so that he barely saw the rest of the crew. It also made him feel more like shit than ever that they were flying and he wasn’t up there with them.

Wondering how the medic was doing was getting Nicolai all of nowhere.

Not even knowing her name, he couldn’t track her down. At least not until he thought to look up his own record. Why it took him a week of slogging through the reports to think of that…

He was amused to note that all of his flirting had been reduced to a single sentence: “Upon regaining consciousness, patient displayed a positive attitude and a sense of humor.”

He didn’t snoop in records or even ask around, but he learned a lot about Gerta Kozlov anyway. Despite her recent arrival—he was her first-ever report—she was rapidly becoming the most active medic in the company. She always managed to be first on the scene, arrive with a full aid kit, and nothing but full marks from the follow-up medicos. He certainly didn’t have any complaints—his problem wasn’t his arm, it was boredom.

Merely hunting her down wasn’t going to work.

Hi, I’m the guy who called you a “crazy bitch” during your first day on the job. And I’m sure you remember: while you were saving my life I offered to have sex with you. So, do you wanna do it?

Not smooth—not by his standard…not by any standard.

That’s when he hit on the idea of the palm trees. He used his day schedule versus her night schedule to his advantage.

When she was aloft, he tracked down her CHU, his one bit of snooping, and made his palm trees. He didn’t wait around to see if she liked them. He really didn’t want to know if she didn’t. Each morning they were gone while he was out on his run before going to work, and each night he tacked up a new one. Good thing none of the guys saw him or they’d know he’d lost it.

After a week though, he was running out of patience with himself.
