time, but that’s all he could think about. She ran her hand over
his head before letting it rest on the nape of his neck. Wow, his first real
kiss in so long and it felt like being in heaven. He pulled away. But then he
had to do it again just to prove to himself it was
real and that he wasn’t dreaming. He leaned in and kissed her again. This time
it was better than the first one. She opened her mouth to him. Mitchell slipped
his tongue over her lower lip before they pulled away again.
    “I think I know why Perfect Pairing matched us
up,” said Mitchell. He ran his hand down her cheek, wiping away a tea in the
process. “In fact, they’re the smartest company I know.”
    “Why?”
    “Let me show you.”
    Okay, here goes. Suddenly he didn’t care about
her seeing his leg. Mitchell stood and tugged at the button on his pants and
then began pulling down its fly.
    “Don’t be shocked at what I’m about to reveal,”
he said. “And no, I don’t mean it’s got something to do with the size of my
cock.”
    Rachel burst out laughing. She even fell
backwards on the mattress and held her side as she continued to chuckle. Hey,
he’d made her smile and laugh. And wow, could a woman get any prettier? Rachel
did when she did that.
    Okay, he was lowering his pants and she’d
probably see his very obvious erection through his boxer shorts but he didn’t
care, because showing her he also had scars to hide was more important than
seeming eager to get her between the sheets.
    He let his pants fall to his ankles, turned and
lifted up the edge of his boxers to show her his thigh.
    “Oh, Mitchell. I’m so sorry, and there’s me making a big fuss over my arm. And you
got this serving your country…I’m assuming.”
    Mitchell nodded. “The reason they thought it was
time for me to retire from active duty. I’m going to have my first skin graft
next week.”
    Rachel reached over and ran her fingers along
the red jagged edge. He drew in his breath, not because it hurt but because her
touch soothed him physically, and mentally, too.
    “How did it happen?”
    “I went into an area where there was a car bomb.
Well, we didn’t know there was a car bomb. Everything went still, then kaboom and next
thing I knew, I was being thrown in the air. Guess I was the lucky one though,
because the two guys with me were killed outright.”
    “Mitchell, it must have been horrible…and you
being so far from home.” She closed her eyes and then opened them and looked up
at him. He reached for her hand. She put it inside his palm and he pulled her
up. Again he had the urge to pick her up and carry her to the bed, or even just make love to her right on the floor.
    Mitchell put his hands on either side of her
face and leaned in toward her. They rubbed noses together before they kissed
again. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip. Her tongue then dueled with his
before he slipped it inside her mouth, and suddenly he was lightheaded, amazed
at how quickly this was all happening and how swiftly the two of them had
obviously fallen for one another. Well, he’d fallen for her big time. Maybe she
just wanted sex, although she hadn’t come across as the type. She pulled away
from him and looked him in the eye, almost as if she could read his mind.
    “While I’d like to get you naked and into the
whirlpool just for the sake of it…It would also be great therapy for your leg,”
said Rachel. She ran her hands down his chest as she spoke. They were both on
the same page about this.
    “Is that your professional opinion?”
    She nodded and smiled, and he was a goner.
    “Okay, but only on one condition, and that’s if
you join me. Maybe offer me some physical therapy while we’re in there.”
    “That I can do, with
pleasure.”
    She smiled once again and dimples appeared in
her cheeks. He went weak at the knees. Not even his ex-fiancée had this sort of
effect on him the first time he’d met her.
    “How about we undress one another? Not
