the exposed part of his body as her voice deepened with
    desire, “And it is tempting, but not worth my career.”
    His tall body rose gracefully out of the chair and lifted her bold-
    ly out of hers, cradling her in his steel-lined arms. He walked to the
    countertop and set her down, wedging his body between her spread
    thighs. “I would never,” he stated as his hands found the hem of her
    shirt and moved under it, searching for the skin he knew would be
    smooth as silk. “ Never do anything like that to you. I’m not looking for a
    roll in the hay with you, my little healer. I was thinking something
    much more permanent than that.”

    “What do you want from me?” she gasped as his large hands
    moved up her sides over the lace of her bra.
    “I want everything from you.” He took a deep breath and
    moved his hands down out of her shirt and placed them on her sides.
    “Everything.” Then he stepped back and allowed her to jump down
    from the counter.
    “So you took a chance in coming down here, to maybe run into
    me and what, try out sex with the HMC?” She narrowed her eyes at
    him. “For that matter, how did you know where to find me?”
    He moved towards her again, “I’m a SEAL. That’s what I do.
    And I know you are on leave for the next twenty days.” His eyes looked
    at her directly. “Just like you know all about my file.”
    “I don’t know anything about you, Commander.” She was using
    his title as a barrier.
    “Don’t start with that shit again, Alexis,” his warning came,
    knowing she was using his title as a barrier.
    “I have things to do.” The fiery woman stomped off to the living
    room where she began to clean it up and get it ready for the evening.
    Scott followed her. He leaned in the doorway and watched her
    move around her living room, picking up things and fluffing pillows.
    “What were you doing over there last night?”
    She never missed a beat with her cleaning. “If you must know, I
    was on a date.”
    “With whom?” Those two words were growled with such ani-
    mosity she stopped and looked at him. His eyes were shards of blue ice
    and there was a very pronounced tick in his jaw.
    “That is none of your business.” Alexis said with one hand on
    her hip.
    The hell it isn’t! “Believe what you will, but you’re wrong. It is
    my business. Everything about you is my business.”
    “So says you,” she muttered.
    “At least you are beginning to see it my way,” came his smart-
    ass remark. His hard body plunked itself down on the couch she’d just
    finished straightening as if it were within his every right.
    Throwing the pillow she held in her hand at him, she just sat
    down in a leather chair and watched as he snatched it out of the air, nice
    and easy-like. “So, tell me what you are doing here, in my neck of the
    woods?” she asked.
    He shrugged a shoulder. “I told you, I came to see you.”
    “Well, you have seen me.”

    Not as much of you as I want to. “Take a vacation with me,” he
    blurted out.
    “What?”
    “Come on, take a vacation with me. I have some down time, at
    least a week. We could take a cruise,” he suggested, then grimaced.
    “Sorry, I forget you are on the water all the time. A rail ride, spend a
    few days with me. Get to know me, inside and out.”
    She sniffed slightly and lifted her chin . “I am on vacation.”
    “Is this really the vacation you want? Or would you rather
    spend time withme? I will do whatever you want—anoint you with
    baby oil, rub you down anytime you want. We can go to movies,
    whatever. Spend about a week with me, have room service, let me take
    care of you.”
    There was a weird, almost glazed look on Alexis’s face as she
    just stared at him silently for a few moments . Then she laughed.“I get
    it, this is another dream. Very funny, Lex; come on, wake up. As if
    Commander Leighton would actually come to your house wanting to
    make passionate love to you…no
