CHAPTER NINE

Being taken away from ZQ was like having her heart extracted with icy prongs. For all her grumbling, Ivy had needed and adored every short minute in his strong arms. She focused her gaze on him as JJ hopped into the helicopter, its whirling blades blowing her hair around. As she was gently placed on padded bedding, she craned her neck to keep her love in sight.

A curtain was pulled to conceal patient and medic from the rest of the crew. The helicopter rose, then banked to the right before increasing in altitude. She was leaving behind the man she’d always loved. No, she would not cry. Enough tears over her SEAL giant had been shed over the years. How many times would her heart be broken? He should be here with her.

Would the drug cartel really be a continual threat to her and her son? She’d handled enough cases to know how vengeful they were; she had to admit ZQ was right. Gratitude for his selfless act warmed her heart. Not much, but enough to show her he still cared. And, heaven help her, so did she.

JJ snapped on latex gloves and opened various bags. “Nance, take care of Ivy for ZQ.” A powerful German shepherd rested his chin on her shoulder. Woebegone brown eyes stared at her. The dog licked her chin helping to put her more at ease.

“Any other injuries I need to know about?” JJ’s voice was low. “Ashley, the woman I love, was raped repeatedly by ISIS in Syria. Were you hurt that way?” His eyes were gentle.

Sharing wouldn’t be easy, but necessary. “I wasn’t raped. But…but they stuck their fingers inside me. Dir…dirty fingers. I tried to wash as best as I could afterward.”

“Ashley insisted I bring some vaginal germicidal ointment along.” She tensed at the thought of his touching her. The man was a stranger. He handed her a glove. “Put this on. I’ll open the tube and hand it to you and look the other way while you squeeze the contents on yourself and try to finger some inside. Okay? Ashley’s taught me to be very considerate of women’s feelings about their bodies. I won’t watch.”

He did as he promised while she took care of herself. “You must love her very much.”

“She’s been through hell. When we’d rescued her, she’d retreated so far into herself, she couldn’t speak or look at any of us. Emotional healing has taken a long time. She’s just now allowing me to kiss her. If I want her—and I damn well do—I have to be patient and wait for her to make a move when she’s ready.”

“When were you in Syria?” She removed the glove and put it in the bag he’d provided.

“As best as I can figure, a year or more after you had Quinn. Any other injuries?” His gloved fingers lightly passed over her bruised face. “I can’t exactly strip you down here. ZQ would kill me. He’s been in fifty kinds of knots since he found out it was you who’d been abducted.
