Chapter Two
Maverick
She really must have golden hands because the moment her fingers touch my skin, my cock hardens.
Oh, who am I kidding, I have been hard since the moment I set my eyes on her. She may be a tiny woman. But her attitude is far bigger than her frame. The way her eyes shoot at me in defiance is so hot, I just want to kiss her until she surrenders to me.
There are very few people in my life who can look me in the eye and defy my orders. The number is even less with people who donât know me. Just a single glare usually has everyone bending to my will.
Well, almost everyone.
I watch her as she works on my wound, her dark hair tied in a tight ponytail and larger-than-life hazel eyes focused on my arm.
âSo how did you get hurt? Did someone attack you or something?â she asks, her hands steady as she pierces my skin with the sharp needle. The sting does nothing to soften my throbbing erection. There is no hiding the bulge in my pants and if she notices it, she is too polite to say anything.
âIt was an accident,â I offer.
âUhm,â she mutters. âYou are lucky itâs not that deep or it would have injured a nerve.â
I remain silent, unsure of what it is she expects me to say. I am not one for casual conversations; hate them actually. Iâve never really understood the need for people to fill up blessed silence with their voice, howeverâ¦
I find myself wanting to hear more of her voice. I just have no idea how to go about it.
âAre you sure you donât want any numbing medicine? This must hurt,â she says sympathetically, her eyes looking up to meet mine briefly.
âNo, Iâm fine.â
We fall into another awkward silence. I often attend to my own wounds but when the blunt knife pierced my skin, Iâd known immediately that I needed to get the shot.
This is one of the many hazards of working in security. There is no escaping injuries when you offer protection services, however, the irony of getting injured in a silly training exercise is not lost on me.
âThere, done!â the nurse says, pushing back and inspecting her work. I follow her eyes to the neat sutures, noticing how proud she is of the job well done.
âThank you,â I manage, watching her.
âYouâre welcome,â she says, rising from the chair. My eyes stay on her as she cleans up and itâs not until someone steps into her space that I am reminded that we are no longer alone. Itâs quite hilarious really. I am always conscious of everyone in the room and yet, I completely forgot about the doctor standing in the corner watching her stitch my cut. Some bodyguard I am.
âGreat job, Adams,â the doctor, whose name I donât even remember, comments inspecting my arm. âI will now leave you to clean and dress his wound.â
The two donât speak much before the man exits the room, leaving me alone with the nurse.
