Page 33 of Three to Fall

I wasn’t all that sure they were working right now.

But if Hawk noticed, he didn’t say anything. Just guided me outside, passed me a helmet, and told me to get on the back of his bike.

I did. I slid on behind him, wrapping my arms around his middle and feeling the tight warmth of his body against mine. All while wondering how I was ever going to walk away from this man, when he’d so totally and completely stolen my heart.

The new hospital security was intense. We had our hospital-issued ID badges checked before walking through metal detectors. There were new security doors in place of the ones that had been destroyed by Josiah’s groupies. We’d taken off our jackets so as to not draw attention,but Hawk attracted it anyway, getting himself a pat down from a police officer before we were admitted to the clinic.

I nudged him as we made our way behind the nurses’ desk. “That was very big of you. You didn’t even complain about that officer getting up close and personal.”

“Why would I? He’s here to help keep you safe. If I have to have my junk groped by a dozen cops to make sure no one brings a weapon in here that could hurt you, then I will.”

I pressed up on my toes and kissed his cheek. “You’re a much sweeter man than you let others believe. You do know that, right?”

He took a sneaky handful of my ass and wiggled his eyebrows. “Still think I’m such a nice guy?”

I rolled my eyes and pushed him away. In the female locker room, I hung my new jacket with care and grabbed a pair of scrubs to change into.

Hawk waited for me outside, dressed in scrubs of his own, and matching Grayson, who leaned on the wall beside him.

Grayson’s smile met his eyes when he saw me, and I fought to keep my gaze on his face, instead of letting it wander lower. Knowing that he had all those tattoos beneath his clothes was a distraction I hadn’t anticipated.

He moved toward me, then paused, glancing back at Hawk. “Uh, I don’t know the protocol here.” He turned back to me. “I really want to kiss you right now. But…”

Hawk let out a low, menacing growl from somewhere deep in his chest.

Gray and I both swiveled to stare at him.

The purring rumble cut off, flipping into a wide grin, showing off his white teeth. “Just messing with you. Kiss her. I won’t hurt you.”

Gray leaned toward me.

“Much,” Hawk added.

I glared at him.

Grayson sniggered and tipped my chin. “Hey.”

I melted, staring into his eyes. “Hey.”

His mouth on mine was so sweet. He kissed me slowly, lightly at first, his mouth playful until his tongue was seeking entrance, and I was leaning into him, loving the feel of his hard body against my softer one.

“I shouldn’t find this hot,” Hawk muttered. “Can we do this somewhere else? When we don’t have patients to help, maybe?”

Both of us looked over at him in surprise. Blood rushed to my face at the very thought of being sandwiched between him and Grayson.

Gray cleared his throat. “Uh, did you just hit me up for a threesome?”

“No. That would be super inappropriate. You’re our boss.”

My hopes fell.

Grayson’s cheeks went pink with embarrassment. “Right. I’m sorry.”

Hawk raised an eyebrow. “I was thinking more of a foursome. Chaos will want in.”

Oh my God.

Hawk laughed, walking backward down the hallway toward the clinic. “Don’t act like the two of you haven’t been thinking about it. We all know what this is. We all know it’s happening at some point. Question is, when?”
