Chapter 11

Grayson glanced over at Hailey as they drove back to his apartment in his pickup truck. Maybe he should feel guilty for bossily telling her she was coming to his place, but damn. She was still recovering from the explosion and now looked like hell with whatever she’d come down with. She was shivering, and he’d grabbed a sweatshirt from the bag he always kept in his truck.

His sweatshirt with the word “NAVY” on the front was huge on her, but she looked cute as hell wearing it. Her auburn hair and fair skin stood out against the navy-blue color, but he’d felt some sort of primitive urge to see her in his clothing. She was his. Maybe she didn’t know or realize it, and they’d take their time to date and get to know one another, but damn. From the moment he’d seen her in Bagram, he’d wanted her.

“You should text your parents,” he said as they pulled to a stoplight.

She looked over at him in surprise.

“You said they were worried and wanted to come with you out here since you were recovering,” he said with a shrug. “At least let them know you’re staying with me instead of the hotel.”

Her eyes softened as she looked over at him. “I told them how you saved me. My mom of course wanted to meet you immediately,” she said, flushing.

Grayson smiled then reached over and took her hand, squeezing it lightly. “I’d like to meet her someday.” Their gazes locked for a moment, but then the light turned green, and he looked back to the road and pulled forward.

“I’m just up here on the next block.”

“Wow, you really are close by. My apartment’s in the opposite direction of the hotel.”

Grayson noticed she pulled her phone from her bag, presumably texting her mom, and his lips quirked.

Hell. When had he ever talked to a woman about her parents? He didn’t know the first thing about the last woman he’d been with, aside from the fact that she worked at a country bar. With Hailey, he wanted to know everything. It had been several years since Grayson had been in a serious relationship, and maybe his strong feelings toward Hailey should’ve scared the hell out of him, but instead it just felt right.

He wanted to protect her. Take care of her. Yes, she was independent, but at the moment? She needed him, and something about that made him feel ten feet tall.

She sneezed beside him, grabbing some tissues from her bag. “I hope you don’t catch whatever I do. You don’t want to get sick for your missions or whatever.”

“Don’t worry about me, sweetheart. I just want you to get better. I’ve got some soup and dried goods at my place, but I do need to run to the grocery store. The guys and I just got back last night, so I’m out of most things in my fridge.”

“I’m sorry,” she said, blowing her nose. “You probably need to unpack and get things done, not be taking care of me.
