Chapter Thirteen

Gio scowled. He sat outside eating his lunch. Two days had passed since Air Force pilot Thomas Hirsch had arrived, which meant that in less than a week Jaydee wouldn’t even be flying. Then he and this newcomer would be competing to see which of them would be seeing combat. And Jaydee would still be leaving.

His scowl deepened. A feminine squeal split the air and he jerked his head up and around. Jaydee ran towards another woman and they embraced. Squinting against the sun, he stared at the one with Jaydee.

She wore heels, a short skirt, and a tight skimpy top. It hit him. Her friend Lexy from the first night. He watched Tommy as the man went over and also said hello to Lexy. Another mark against the man in his opinion. He knew her friend, which begged the question how well did Jaydee and Thomas know one another? He breathed a bit easier when Tommy left.

All he could glean about their past was they’d flown together before. And respected one another greatly. His gaze drifted back to where Jaydee stood talking to her very animated friend. This woman brought out an entirely different side to Jaydee.

Dr Thompson approached the duo and Gio watched avidly, ignoring Lizard when he sat at the table. Jaydee quieted down a bit and it didn’t take a genius to understand Dr Thompson wasn’t a huge Lexy fan.

“Who’s the babe?”

“Jaydee’s friend, Lexy.”

Jason gave a low whistle. “Is she single?”

“Lizard!”

“What, man? She’s smokin’ hot.”

Gio rolled his eyes. Sometimes there was no stopping Lizard.

“We should welcome her as well.” Lizard stood and tugged on his shirt. “It’d be the gentlemanly thing to do.”

This time he snorted. “What the hell do you know about being a gentleman?”

Lizard’s grin was shameless. “For a piece of that ass, I’ll learn. Come on.”

He groaned even as he followed his friend. By the time they reached the women, Dr Thompson had left. Which was fine. Personally he still felt a bit uncomfortable in the knowledge that he’d socked her father in the face.

“Good afternoon, Dusti. Ma’am.” Lizard broke the ice.

They fell silent and faced them both. Lexy’s grey gaze snagged his and it hardened briefly, yet enough so he knew that she recalled exactly who he was. Then her stare drifted over Lizard in a long, drawn-out perusal before a foxy grin turned up the corners of her full mouth.

“Aren’t y’all just gorgeous.” The thick, syrupy Southern drawl made him smile. Although he’d been verbally included, he couldn’t help but feel left out. “N’ don’t call me ma’am, handsome. I’m Lexy.”

“Lieutenant Jason Armstrong, at your service.” Lizard jerked a thumb over his shoulder. “That’s Casanova.” The way his friend said it made him feel like an afterthought.

Lexy smiled and he could practically see the heat between those two. Over their heads, he met Jaydee’s gaze. Hers was a bit unfocused and he knew she no longer paid attention to the conversation around her. He was amused—it was like her mind never took a break.
