Chapter 11

Ever

Logan was in control of the situation before she even understood what was happening. One second she was enjoying the best kiss of her life, and the next minute she was in searing pain.

Something was poking her in the back, and not in a nice, grinding, flashlight-in-his-pocket kind of way. After having jerked herself away from the source of the pain, it hadn’t stopped the feeling of being skewered like a kebab.

“Ever, I’m going to lift up your shirt and have a look at the area.” He was kneeling beside her.

“Oh my god, I have a cactus in my back, don’t I?” She yelped in pain at every move.

“Not a whole cactus but some of it. You’re gonna be fine, just stay calm.”

Ever did as he said. Even though the pain felt like a hot branding iron through all the nerves in her back, she forced herself to breathe through it. The way he was taking charge would have been pretty damn hot if she didn’t have a back full of needles.

As usual, she cracked an inappropriate joke at this awkward moment. “I’m OK. Just don’t try and reach around to grab my bosoms while you have permission to lift up my shirt, OK?”

But Logan was having none of it. His voice sounded like someone’s dad. “I really wish you would stop with the sass for one minute so I can concentrate on rendering first aid,” he said while gently helping her to a sitting position on the ground to stabilize her before pulling the needles out. “If I do reach around and grab your breasts like some kind of animal, it’s because you gave me the idea.”

She felt him lifting up her shirt in the back.

“Yup, you got a few that stuck,” he said.

“Awesome. Pull them out, please?” She liked the feel of Logan’s strong hands having their way with her top. She kind of wished he would let himself cop a feel. She wouldn’t even fight it, not even with giant needles puncturing her back.

“It’s not in you very deep, but it is going to hurt,” he said.

“That’s what he said,” she said with a snort.

“I need you to reach up and hold your shirt up for me. On three. Ready?”

She took a deep breath. “Ready. Do it.”

“One…two…” And he pulled the first one out.

“Ouch! You said on three!” she wailed.

“I lied,” he said. “That was for the ‘that’s what he said’ joke. Anyway, this way is easier so you don’t fight me on three.”

She turned her head and watched as Logan dug through his pack for disinfectant.

“You learn that in ranger school, Logan? Here’s something you didn’t learn. No female on this earth would fight you for putting your hands on her.”

But Ever could see he wasn’t in the mood for flirty talk. He was in survival mode. He took his job seriously. His face glowered as he worked, and she liked it.

After all the needles were removed and her back was disinfected and bandaged, the pain turned from searing to throbbing and itching.
