red rimmed and his face looked gray.  “Can we go for a walk?”
    As they left the room, Caleb yelled.  “Hey.  Walks are taken outside.  Not down the hall to your room.”
    Andi flipped him the bird before shutting her bedroom door.  “Lie down.”
    Kevin’s eyes widened as he sat on the edge of the bed.  “I like bossy Andi.”  He bent his arms behind his head and yawned as his body relaxed into the mattress. 
    She curled into him, laying her head on his chest.  She took a deep breath of what was quickly becoming her favorite smell. His body was warm and he folded his arms around her.  Home.  “Shut your eyes.  Let’s take a nap and then I’ll drive you home.  You look like you need it.”
    He shut his eyes and smiled.  “What I need is to get in your pants, doll.”
    “I can only handle one asshole in my pants at a time, Deuce.  Go to sleep.”
    His soft laugh lulled her into a peaceful sleep.

Chapter 15
    Andi stared at the computer trying to make sense of her patient’s chart.  Fifteen hours in labor and delivery was too much.  She couldn’t wait to change rotation.  One more week and she would be in the operating room again and she was counting the minutes.  She rubbed her tired eyes and put her face in her hands.  Her shift was over.  She was just too exhausted to stand up and leave.
    The hair on the back of her neck stood up and that familiar warmth spread through her chest.  She smiled into her hands.  He was here.  She hadn’t talked to him since she dropped him off at his place after their three hour epic nap.  Her body had protested when he had walked to his door.  She wanted to follow him in and spend some time getting sweaty under his sheets but she knew he needed his rest. 
    “ Hola bonita.”  Kevin’s eyes lit up when she smiled at him.  He looked good enough to eat.  Rest had done him some good.  His jeans hung low on his hips, his t-shirt hugged his chest like a second skin and he was wearing that smirk that made her drool.  “Don’t ask me to say anything else.  It took me all day to learn that.”
    Andi laughed as he pulled her out of her chair.  “Please tell me you’re here to pick me up.  I’m too tired to even look for my keys.”
    “At your service then.”  Kevin took her hand and led her to the parking garage.  His visit to Jena would have to wait.  He had waited two days before stopping by the hospital to get a glimpse of the most beautiful woman in the world.  He was turning into a total woman but his emotions were getting the best of him and he couldn’t help himself. 
    Andi stopped and groaned.  She stared at his sleek black and silver Honda.  The li ghts of the parking deck shined off the chrome.  It was a beautiful bike and although the thought of holding on to him and riding off into the night excited her, it also scared her to death.
    “I promise you I’ll keep you safe.”  Kevin handed her a helmet.  “Just let go.”
    She shook her head and climbed on behind him.  As the bike rumbled to life, she wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head against his strong back.  His body heat wrapped around her like a blanket and she took a deep breath.  Butterflies stormed her stomach.  As she watched the city go by, it all became so clear.  She was hopelessly in love with him.  She had fallen for him a little more every time they were together.  Her hands tangled in his shirt and when that wasn’t enough, she reached underneath.  His muscles rippled under her fingers. A tear fell down her cheek.  She whispered.  “I think I’m in love with you.”
    Kevin’s body stiffened.  She had forgotten all about the speakers in the helmet.  He pulled off the main road and headed for the hills.  The bike sped up as they hit the quiet back roads.  She could feel his heart beating under her hands and it quickened with each mile.  She didn’t ask where they were going.  It didn’t matter.  She would go anywhere
