Sophia Sasson - The Sergeant's Temptation

Her cheeks burned. The unit was a fresh start for her. The last thing she needed was another scandal. Especially one so similar to the incident.

“I haven’t done anything to invite Luke’s attention.”

“I know. I’m not mentioning it again. Let’s move past it.”

She nodded, her mouth dry. Nothing ever stayed in the past. Rodgers would be watching her and Luke closely. Alessa would have to put some good distance between her and Luke. She was technically on detail to the unit until her transfer paperwork came through, which meant that she’d have to return to Kuwait and to Aidan if she didn’t go on the mission. That could not happen.

The rest of the day went quickly and by the end of it, Alessa was operating a little more fluently with her left hand. She had emailed the final logistics arrangements to Luke several hours ago. The less physical contact she had with him, the better. The team had left for the day, but not after every single man had stopped by to check on her. Everyone except Luke, which was just fine by her.

She shut down her computer, secured her ID card, and neatly stacked the papers on her desk.

“How’s the arm?”

She hadn’t heard him approach. Taking a breath, she steeled herself and turned. “It’s fine, thank you for asking.”

He eyed her arm, his gaze lingering on the brace that held it against her chest. “I have some notes for you on your arrangements. I’ll email them later tonight.”

She nodded. Why is he here? He could have just emailed her in the first place.

“I wanted to tell you in person...”

Her stomach hardened.

“...you can’t come on the mission.”
