Last thing Nico

pain. It’s just like Kayla to play the seductive nurse. She’s always had a
thing for Nico. Problem is, Kayla’s not a girl anymore. She’s one hot-blooded
woman. And Nico’s body is heating up.
Latin Heat
Trilogy, Story Two
Excerpt
Kayla ambled to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and
perused it. Not bad. He had a few things she could work with. “What do you
normally eat?”
“Grilled chicken, brown rice and broccoli,” he said without
missing a beat.
Kayla laughed at his bland regimen. “I had a feeling.”
“Well, I try to take care of my body.”
“So I see.” Her gaze skittered over his physique. Whatever
he did worked magically delicious.
“Although lately, I’ve been pigging out like a fat kid,” he
said, with a disgusted look. “That’s what happens when you’re bored to death.”
She had a cure for his restlessness. The thought made her
thighs go up in flames. Kayla shoved her head inside the cool refrigerator and
peered into several plastic containers. “Some of this looks good.” She could’ve
taken the easy way out, but she preferred to make something fresh, show off a
little bit.
“It is. But I had so much of it already.” He puffed out his
cheeks.
How adorable. She found everything he did entertaining.
Kayla shut the fridge and, without asking, opened the cupboards. She found one
with canned goods and food staples. “Hmm,” she mumbled, scanning the contents.
She’d have to improvise. “You like omelets?”
Nico’s face lit up. “I love me some eggs.”
“Cool. I’ll whip up some veggie omelets.”
“You don’t have to cook for me, you know.”
She had a weakness for nursing people back to health. She
had a weakness for one man named Nico.
The combination of the two pulled on her
heartstrings. “I want to,” she said, setting aside her personal agenda.
“Don’t you have something better to do than hang out with an
invalid? I’m not a barrel of laughs right now.”
Good time to gauge his interest. She locked eyes on him.
“Why? You want me to leave?”
“It’s not that,” he said. Nico strode to the kitchen. He
took one of her long curls and tugged on it. “I just don’t want you to waste
your free time.”
She wanted to close her eyes, bottle his woodsy scent. Kayla
palmed his solid chest. The touch sent a shocking bolt through her
already-charged system. She kept her hand there, reveling in the feel of his
potent masculinity. “Who says I’m wasting my time?”
Nico closed the space between them. Too bad his bulky cast
kept their bodies from totally connecting. Several inches taller, he stared
down at her with pure intensity. The heat level shot up so fast she thought
they’d set off the smoke alarm in the kitchen. Kayla tilted her head back and
shook her wild curls off her face. He helped by sliding a few fingers into her
hair. Her heart practically jumped out of her chest. Kiss me. She’d
waited years for this.
His body trapped her against the counter. Kayla shifted her
position so she could feel the full force of his strength without the barrier
of his injured arm. Oh God. He had an erection. Her hip acted alone and pressed
up against it. She swore she heard him moan. Wait. That was her.
“Kayla,” he muttered, in a voice huskier than before.
Kiss me. She tried to send a telepathic message.
