Not Here For Your Dogma (Ember)

By the light of day, I feel a little silly.

Especially when the first thing I thought, when Doc offered to take me somewhere with him, was that he was taking me somewhere to get rid of me.

Somewhere, maybe, where nobody would ever find me in a new life under a fake ID.

I’m starting to think I watch too many thriller movies. And maybe my mother’s not the only drama queen in the family.

I think I have a right to be wary, though. Uncertain.

Anyone besides a hardened soldier would be nervous after several men with guns came rushing at them, and I qualify pretty well as anyone. I feel like my whole world just shifted on its axis, exposing realities that I’ve never dared imagine before.

In one of those realities, I slept the night in Dr. Gray Caldwell’s strong arms.

In Gray’s bed.

In Gray’s flipping shirt, which I’m currently using as a sort of makeshift dress until we can stop by my cabin for a change of clothes. Dear Lord.

I told myself last night that I was done with Doc and his secrets. Over it, hands washed, so ready to pretend none of this ever happened.

But the truth is, I really almost am as bad as his jackals at the clinic. Because all it takes is a whiff of his scent baked into that shirt to make me feel twisty and hot inside. The thin fabric rubs my whole body, a forbidden caress, wrapped around me with its oversized fabric shifting against my skin.

Maybe it’s the leftover adrenaline, but there’s a serious pulsing in my thighs now, a wet burn growing against my panties, my nipples hardening to peaks that ache every time the fabric of my borrowed shirt rubs against them.

Considering how easily I overheat every time Doc does something that reminds me he’s so much more than a mild-mannered vet, and there’s a dark side to him most people don’t see...

I’m starting to wonder if I’m some kind of weird thrill chaser.

Or am I just so fatally head over heels for this man that all it takes is his borrowed shirt against my naked skin to turn me on? To make me ignite?

I’m almost grateful to escape from him for a few minutes, after he lets me off at my cabin at Charming, but he waits outside with the air of a man determined to guard my every step.

Holy wow. So he really was serious about protecting me.

I head inside, and in my bedroom I take a moment to wash off quickly before throwing on a comfortable pair of cutoff shorts, a t-shirt, and a light jacket for good measure, then a pair of sensible hiking boots. If I’m going to end up running over mountainsides today, then I’m definitely doing it in the right shoes this time. My ankle could use the support of the tight-laced boots, anyway.

This time, I check four times to make sure my phone stays where it belongs, tucked in my pocket.
