Chapter Twenty-Six

Melissa poured a few drops of disinfectant onto the counter to wet the stone down. The air in the infirmary smelled of cleanser, erasing the bitter tang of blood from the injured warriors. She’d worked hard helping the wounded, and her arms still ached from the exertion. Focusing on her task, she grabbed a clean cloth from the pile next to the salves and bandages.

Gaetan was a stickler for cleanliness, and rightfully so, as the infirmary received constant use. The medical equipment needed to be ready to go at all times. The only thing left to do was wipe down the examination tables.

Gaetan stood next to the large stone cabinet, the one that held most of the smaller tools and instruments. He cleaned out a canister containing numerous knives and scalpels. His eyes were focused on his task, his mouth pinched in concentration.

Melissa zeroed in on the black mark that traced the back of his hand. The lines ran from under the cuff of his shirt and down to his fingers where the four lines ended in round circles. What did they represent?

“You were very helpful today. Where did you learn medicine?” He watched her as she headed for the nearest table.

“When the Pride lived in the Rockies, I picked up a few tips.” She shrugged. “Gossum were a constant threat. I had to learn quickly.”

A loud knock startled her, and she pulled in a deep breath to calm herself. As Gaetan went to open the door, she shook to release the extra energy burning in her veins.

Noeh walked in, and her heart skipped a beat.

“I thought you would show up sooner or later.” Gaetan eyed Noeh’s forehead and squinted. “You want anything for that?”

“Nah. I wanted to see how the warriors were doing. They’re gone?” Noeh raised his eyebrows and peered around the room. His gaze paused on her, then wandered over her body. He visibly tensed, and the muscles in his arms bulged.

A small flutter batted around in Melissa’s stomach. She liked the way Noeh stared, like he wanted to devour her. Trembling with delight, she moved around the table, not wanting Gaetan to see her reddened cheeks. He didn’t seem to notice her watching him.

Gaetan cleared his throat. “I ran into Melissa in the garden. She mentioned she’d helped injured warriors before, so I brought her along. With her help, we got the warriors fixed up and out of here pretty fast.”

“I’m glad to hear that. We can always use the help after a battle.” Noeh sat on the stool near the medicine cabinet, one leg on the foot post, the other firmly on the ground. He crossed his arms and leaned his back against the polished stone, his muscles straining under his white shirt.

Damn, he looked good. She wanted to ogle his body, but didn’t want him to know he had that effect on her. As she tried not to glance at the sexy male on the stool, she turned to Gaetan. “Is there anything else you need me to do?”

“If you don’t mind finishing the exam tables, I would appreciate it.
