“Don’t mind me.” Logan’s voice pierced through the haze of lust.

He stepped around Gage to peer at me as I adjusted my scrub pants to hide the raging erection currently tenting them.

“You have got to be fucking kidding me,” Gage growled, exasperation—or maybe it was desire—making his voice rougher than usual.

“Didn’t mean to interrupt the prequel to the honeymoon you were having six inches away from Natasha’s snickerdoodles.”

“No one’s getting a prequel to anything,” Gage mumbled under his breath, and I felt a little stab of guilt. Yeah, I’d been distant lately, but it was for a good cause, and we were almost there. Everything would be clear the following night, and I hoped to God he thought it was worth it.

I turned to Logan. “Did you need something?”

“Just my coat.”

Gage laughed. “You’ve remembered your coat a total of six times in your whole life, and right this second was one of them. Of course it was.”

“Jackson’s been on my case about it. I’ll be outta your hair in a minute and you can pick up where you left off, but I might suggest taking it to somewhere else? HR isn’t as understanding as I am.”

“Says the guy who got caught blowing his boyfriend in one of the patient rooms by not one, but two nurses.”

“Not my fault the door doesn’t lock. Jackson needed his spirits lifted after almost most dying.”

His words were serious, but his tone wasn’t. I knew how terrified he’d been that he’d lost Jackson, but since that night, things had turned around so quickly for them. Almost dying can do that to a guy—setting priorities straight in an instant. At least, that’s what seemed to have happened. They’d been holed up together pretty much every day since, and I’d hardly seen Logan except for when he was working.

I understood. I’d wanted Gage all to myself. I still did, but it had been more difficult lately.

The party was almost on us, and what should have been a simple get-together with friends from town had snowballed into the biggest celebration Sawyer’s Ferry had seen since the founding-day celebration. Between party planning, sneaking around to keep Gage from finding out, and keeping on top of patients and surgeries, there hadn’t been a lot of quality time happening with us.

I’d been doing this all for him, but somewhere in the middle of the menu selection and the decoration construction, I’d missed out on spending time with him. The holidays were coming, his birthday was practically here, and I’d been avoiding him.

That was all going to change now, though.

While I was looking forward to his party, excited to see the look on his face when he walked into nearly the entire town, there to celebrate him, I was also looking forward to the days after—the Christmas Eve dinner at Logan’s, our quiet Christmas morning together. I liked the simple and mundane with Gage because it was anything but mundane.

I took a moment to stare at him, remembering what it felt like to fall for him.
