CHAPTER TEN

Sami finished tucking the covers around Nicky. She smiled down at his sleeping form. The little boy still had one hand clenched around the book they’d discovered on the shelves flanking the fireplace. He’d fallen asleep while she read to him from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.

“He’s probably dreaming of pirates and buried treasure,” Jake said from behind her.

She turned to see him standing in the doorway to the bedroom. Starting at his sock-covered feet, she let her eyes take in every inch of him. His jeans hugged his hips and powerful thighs, leaving nothing to her imagination, including the bulge of his desire. Naked from the waste up, her makeshift bandage, spotted with dried blood, covered his left shoulder. The firelight cast shadows across the golden skin and hard planes of his chest and abdomen.

She licked her lips, remembering how his skin had tasted earlier.

He cleared his throat, and she lifted her eyes to his face. Heat and desire met her gaze.

“You said you wanted to check your stitches?”

Heat filled her cheeks. She knew he could see she’d been thinking about something totally not related to his wound. She swallowed and approached him. Stopping mere inches from him, she reached up to remove the bandage.

Her fingers shook. She clenched them once, before opening them to try again.

Cursing herself for acting like a novice who’d never seen a half-naked man before, she forced her mind to function as a nurse. Jake was simply another patient in need of her attention.

Yeah right and the pope was simply a catholic priest.

Determined not to hurt him, she pried the tape loose from his skin, then peeled back the gauze. “I knew it. That little wrestling match with my brothers tore one of the stitches in front.” At least it wasn’t as bad as she’d imagined. “I’ll still have to check the back.”

“Will it have to be replaced?” The rumble of his deep voice next to her ear flowed over her like a warm bath.

“It’s already clotted over, so no. Which is a good thing, since we left all of my suture supplies back at my apartment. Besides after twenty-four hours suturing it now would only introduce more bacteria to the wound.” She gently prodded around the wound to be sure no pockets of fluid were trapped beneath the skin. “Okay, turn around.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Following her command, his shoulder and arm grazed across her chest as he moved.

Her nipples hardened in response and sent a new tremor of desire coursing through her. Her gaze shot to his face, and the cocky smile tipping the edge of his lips told her the contact hadn’t been accidental.

She returned the smile, then peeled the tape away a little less gently than she had before.

“Ouch.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Did that hurt?” she asked with feigned innocence.

He chuckled. His back and shoulder vibrating beneath her fingers. “Yes, it did. But then I think you knew that.”

“Want me to kiss it and make it better?” The purr in her voice surprised her.
