others.”
    The pointed gaze he shot her made her think he spoke directly to her, and perhaps he did.
    Travis, like everyone else, surely knew of her mate’s cheating ways. Yet, despite his attraction, surely Travis wasn’t implying he would act?
    Her heart rate sped up.
    She ordered it to slow down.
    The situation with Frederick was hers to deal with. She couldn’t allow Travis, or anyone else, to interfere. Because if anyone deserved to peck the jerk’s eyes out it was Jess!
    “The right thing?” She snorted. “You know, I hear people say that, but sometimes I have to wonder, who decides what the right thing is? How can you know if you’re making the proper choices?” She’d thought she knew what she was doing when she married Freddie while in her last year of medical school just before he got drafted.
    Despite her high GPA, it panned out to be the dumbest thing she’d ever done.
    “Sometimes you have to just go with what your gut says.” How intently he stared at her as he said it.
    She couldn’t hold his gaze, not without perhaps giving something away of her inner turmoil. Time to remind him of a crucial fact. Remind them both. “I’ll be seeing my husband while we’re in staying in the military camp.”
    No denying the grimace at her words. “Yeah. I figured you would. Does he know you’re coming?”
    And give him a chance to disappear and rob her of her chance to confront him? “Nope. I thought I’d surprise him.”
    Concern filled his brown eyes, and he spoke softly. “Doc, are you sure that’s a good idea? I mean, you haven’t seen him—”
    She cut him off. “I’m well aware of how long it’s been since I’ve seen my husband. I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t know. And, might I add, it’s none of your business.”
    “It could be.”
    Now that wasn’t subtle at all. It seemed the imminence of her reunion with Freddie made Travis bold. A part of her exulted in the fact that he wanted to care, but on the other hand, honor meant she had to reject his offer. Instead she avoided it. “I’m sorry. Would you mind moving so I can use the washroom?”
    Had she chickened out of answering?
    Yes. Yes, she had because she really feared the wrong words would slip out of her mouth. Words like, “Please make me your business. Oh, and would you take off your shirt? I’d like to examine you—with my tongue.”

Chapter Four
    Well, at least she hadn’t said no.
    But she sure escaped damned quick.
    Travis allowed himself to stare at Jess’ ass, which given the observant guys he traveled with, wasn’t the brightest idea.
    “Travis, stop staring at the doc’s butt and get your hairy carcass over here,” Brody called.
    Caught.
    Travis couldn’t help but make a face at Brody as he realized he was going to have to trade his seat beside a hot hawk for one beside a glaring wolf. He’d probably get a lecture too.
    Sometimes being the youngest in a group sucked. Holding in a sigh, he levered himself from his current spot and dropped himself into the empty seat beside Brody.
    “What’s up, boss?”
    “Stop bugging the doc.”
    “Who says I was bugging her?” Travis replied.
    “Are you going to tell me you weren’t making big bear eyes at her?”
    The biggest he could manage, not that they seemed to work. “So what if I was?”
    “She’s married, dude.”
    “To a douchebag.”
    “Yup. A douchebag we’re going to run into in less than eight hours. You need to cool it around the doc.”
    “I haven’t done a thing.” Not laid a single hand on her, even though he was tempted.
    “Never said you did, however, dude will only need to take one look at your googly eyes and he’ll know. Then kill you.”
    “He can try.”
    “And he’d probably succeed. Frederick might be an asshole, but he’s a trained one. A deadly one.”
    “What makes you think he’ll care who’s staring at Jess? The man hasn’t been home in over three years. Three, dude!”
    “Just because he’s been
