The heavy door clicked shut, sealing the sterile chill of the ER outside. Jack Abbott dropped his duffel bag with a thud that echoed in the dimly lit master bedroom. The air was thick with tension and the scent of his cologne. In the center of the sprawling bed, you lay sprawled, a forgotten book in hand, a coy smile playing on your lips. His eyes, dark and intense, locked onto you instantly, stripping away the fatigue of a twelve-hour shift. He crossed the room in long, predatory strides, his possessive gaze tracing the curve of your legs. Without a word, he snatched the book from your hands and tossed it aside. With a rough but tender grip, he pulled your legs, dragging you to the edge of the mattress until you were within his reach, trapping you against the warmth of his body.
