Chapter 135

The military guard with the intense blue eyes was back again. Not that she paid him much notice. Actually she tried very hard to pretend the six-foot-four, linebacker-wide, clean-cut soldier didn't stand sentinel. She didn't quite succeed.

Although they'd never technically spoken, and barely exchanged the briefest of glances or nods of acknowledgement, she couldn't help a certain fascination where he was concerned. Tish, her best friend, said it was lust because Laura hadn't gotten laid in ages-so long that there were probably cobwebs up her pie hole, or so her raunchy friend claimed. Whatever the cause, Laura couldn't deny her attraction to the man, but, oddly enough, there was more than just a primal lust that drew her.

He fascinated her. She wanted to study him-and not just naked. She was convinced there were secrets hidden beneath his stoic expression. Secrets she wanted to unravel.

And she was certain he wanted to explore her further, too-possibly naked.
