Damon’s eyes sparkled. His voice was like a warm caress, soft and low. “You’re the one who picked him out,” he murmured. “Why are you being so mean to your own gift?”

I didn’t think it would spout such nonsense.” Her face was on fire. Trying to look busy, she turned away. She didn’t actually have anything to do, so she mindlessly tugged at the duvet and rearranged the books on the nightstand. A restless heat pulsed in her chest, making her pulse skyrocket.

She stood there, awkward and flustered. Before she could react, footsteps approached from behind. Two large hands reached out and pulled her into a

back hug.

Her spine went rigid. She tensed up as her back hit his hard chest. His warm palms covered her hands, locking them around her waist and pulling her flush against him. He held her tight–so tight.

He dipped his head, pressing his cheek against hers. His hot breath brushed against her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

Her heart felt like it had been overclocked. It thudded against her ribs, climbing up into her throat. Her mind went completely blank.

A deep, raspy voice whispered in her ear. “Bree… thanks for coming back.”

Aubrey looked down, her voice a soft murmur. “You said this was my home, didn’t you?”

“It is. It’s your home.” He let out a low, satisfied chuckle. His lips brushed the curve of her neck. The faint touch of his breath against her skin sent a jolt through her, making her heart feel like it was about to explode.

Damon’s gaze darkened. “No. I’m not leaving you here alone like this. You’re coming with me.”

“Wait, what? Aubrey blinked, stunned.

Damon turned to her closet, pulled out a thick down coat, and shoved it toward her. Put this on.”

Aubrey pulled it on, watching in a daze as he grabbed a backpack and started stuffing it with her things–two changes of clothes, underwear, socks, even her gloves and scarf.

She was totally lost.

He finished packing and grabbed her hand. Let’s go.”

Where?”

The doctor.”

Why did you pack a bag if we’re just going to the doctor?”

Damon didn’t say a word.

He led her out and into the car. His face was grim the entire drive.

They went to the military hospital. Damon handled the registration and saw her through the checkup. It turned out to be just a common cold from the hill, and the doctor wrote her a prescription.

by the time they left the hospital with her medicine, it was already evening. Aubrey’s body felt heavy and sore, her head like lead. The cold was finally

itting her full force. She passed out the second she hit the passenger seat.

She didn’t know how much time had passed.

Then she heard Damon’s voice, soft and steady. “Bree. We’re here.”

Aubrey blinked her eyes open. The interior light was on, but it was pitch black outside. A few yards away stood a three–story building, its entrance

athed in a dim yellow glow.

he reached up to rub her eyes, and a jacket slid off her shoulders. She looked down at it–it was Damon’s work jacket.

Thanks,” she murmured, handing it back. She glanced around the dark lot. “Where are we?”

The dorms near the base. I already got approval from my supervisor. You’re staying here.”

Why did you bring me all the way out here?”

You’re sick,” Damon said simply. “I’m not leaving you alone at home.” He hopped out, walked around the car, and pulled her door open.

Aubrey stepped out, her head spinning. The night air was brutal. Every breath she took felt like inhaling needles. Between the fever and the freezing vind, she was shaking down to her bones.

Damon threw his jacket back over her shoulders, the oversized fabric swallowing her whole. The warmth hit her instantly. He zipped it up, his voice ow and gentle. “It’s a two–hour drive back home, but only ten minutes from here. I’m staying here tonight anyway, so I can look after you.”

It’s just a cold. I can take care of myself,” Aubrey said, a wave of guilt hitting her. He was already so busy, she hated being another thing on his plate.

I’d worry even more if you were at home alone.” Damon grabbed her bag from the car and tucked her under his arm, leading her toward the glowing hree–story building.

It’s so dark out. What time is it?” Aubrey asked.

Seven. The cafeteria is on the first floor. We’ll eat, then you’re taking your meds and crashing. I have to check in at the base for a bit, but I’ll be back later o sleep.”

She was already here, so she might as well lean into it.

Aubrey stopped overthinking and felt a flicker of curiosity about his workplace. It was a shame it was too dark to see what the area actually looked like.

They stepped into the brightly lit cafeteria. It wasn’t crowded–just a few people finishing up their dinner.

When the guys saw Damon walk in with a girl, their eyes went wide with surprise.

‘Damon! You went home and actually brought the misses back with you?” an older man joked.

Damon kept his arm around Aubrey’s shoulders as they walked past, stopping by their table. “My girlfriend is sick. There’s no one at home to look after
