leave.
I
had a feeling they had come to give me bad news on Drew. They both had a
worried look on their faces as they walked in, and frankly I didn’t want them
to worry about me as well. I was a big boy, and after my disappearance act from
their lives, I think I’ve given them enough worry to last them two lifetimes.
So
I put on my best game face, and acted like this miracle was just an ordinary
thing in the life of Andrew Hocking Knight aka Nat Donovan. Only I couldn’t
help feel triumphant. The burn ointment my medical team have been working on
for years finally came through. My wounds had healed so quickly, it was what
science fiction novels would eat up.
Then
when Summer came to examine each and every burn scab I had, touching them
gently with her soft fingers…fingers I had countlessly kissed or sucked on
years before, I almost lost all of my cool. Man that woman. She still had that
hold on me. She could take my breath away with just one glance from her.
I
was holding my breath trying not to pant when she leaned in to take a closer
look at one over my pec. I was vaguely aware that Rachel was in the room so I
had to control myself. I couldn’t let Rachel see me give in to my strong desire
for Summer. I couldn’t let this happen although I very badly wanted it with all
of me.
But
DAMN, I almost lost it when Summer’s warm breath brush hotly over my chest. I
pictured her bending down towards my nipples and grabbing them with her teeth
while extending her tongue out to lick them while keeping her big beautiful
eyes on mine.
I
wanted to grab her long wavy copper hair, pull her closer while pushing her
head down towards the rock hardest part of me so she can suck the life out of
me. I pictured her naked, on top of me, in front of me, riding me, straddling
me… Lord have mercy she looked up and realized she was practically kissing my
nipples with her mouth so close to it as she watched how my scab healed itself
in front of her.
“Sorry,”
she said, looking away. It was barely a mumble so soft that I thought at first
I had imagined it.
She
was as flustered as I was turned on. I had to make a joke of it. Anything to
ease the thick tension. After all, she was still with Drew, and…
“Drew’s
completely forgotten ever being with Summer. He thinks you and her are together
instead, as in the time before you left for Afghanistan,” Rachel said.
Drew’s
completely forgotten ever being with Summer.
Could
that be possible? My mind tried to make sense of something so impossible. How
could Drew forget Summer when she was everything to him? It had to be the side
effects of the drug used on him to bring him out of the coma. It had to be.
Otherwise, it would wreck Summer.
Following
our conversation about trying to locate the maker of the drug, I had to see
Drew for myself. To what extent had he forgotten Summer, and was there anything
else he had forgotten?
I
pulled on my clothes in front of Summer while Rachel walked out to the
corridor. I was so used to living without women around and hanging with just my
guys, I didn’t think twice about changing when I needed to or being modest.
That was my life…the life I had before making my appearance back as Nat for
Summer and Drew’s wedding rehearsal.
Before
things got fucked up with the Dragon showing up and ruining it for everyone,
Summer’s kidnapping, and then Drew’s coma. Not to mention that explosion in one
of my warehouses here at the compound I am still investigating. It came from
within so now I have extra worries. Someone here at my compound had did it, had
set it up so that I and many of my guys would have been killed. Luckily, it was
mainly me who got the brunt of the explosion. Luckily we had this burn ointment
in development which made it possible for me to walk and talk as normally as
usual considering days before I was almost unrecognizable from burns.
I
walked past Summer and Rachel into the corridor and into Drew’s room where he
was
