CHAPTER TEN

ON HER LAST night shift, Lola was assigned to Emma who, although stable, still desperately needed a heart transplant. She’d been listed for almost six weeks now, which was truly pushing it, and there would come a point where Emma started to decompensate, despite medical technology’s best efforts to keep her stable.

Then she’d be just another died on the waiting list statistic.

Which was tragic at any age but at twenty-three it was just too awful to contemplate.

Despite the underlying desperation of the situation, Emma was chugging along and Lola found her mind drifting back to Hamish. In her bed. They’d slept together three days in a row and she was counting on making that a fourth.

They hadn’t talked about what had happened between them that morning after the bombing. Lola had just understood what he’d needed and hadn’t been able to deny him. Not when he’d been her comfort, her solace, her soft place to land that first night they’d spent together all those months ago.

And she’d wanted to be that person for him.

They hadn’t discussed sleeping together again either. When she’d made the offer, it had been a one-time-only kind of thing.

The rest had just kind of happened.

They’d arrived home that next morning at the same time and it had seemed like the most natural thing in the world for her to join him in the shower, to soap him up, lay her hands on him, her mouth on him, until he had her up against the tiles, driving into her, withdrawing as he came because neither of them had thought about their lack of protection when things had started to get handsy.

And then he’d carried her through to her bed, both of them still wet, and they’d drifted off, their skin cooling under the roar of the fan, her heart happy. They’d woken twice during the day to join again, half-asleep but reaching for each other despite the fact she had to work that night.

Lola wasn’t used to being gripped by such...attraction. Sure, she’d been with good-looking men, but she didn’t need a hubba-hubba reaction to a guy to go to bed with him and sex had just been an itch to scratch. A fun but necessary biological function.

But these last few days had blown that theory out of the water. There was sex, there was good sex and there was whoa Nelly! sex. She’d had some of the first, quite a bit of the second but never any of the third. Until Hamish. He was the whole package—physically attractive and a magician between the sheets—and it had been totally consuming.

‘Hey.’

Lola glanced up after finishing a suction of Emma’s tracheostomy tube—a breathing tube had been inserted into her neck a few weeks ago—to find Grace approaching. She’d been here when Lola had arrived on shift but it didn’t stop the spurt of guilt Lola felt every time she saw her friend, especially given the direction of her thoughts.

‘Hey.’

Heat crept into Lola’s cheeks despite telling herself she’d done nothing wrong.
