““Brody, grab the C-Collar,” Luke calmly called to his partner. “Already got it!” I glanced behind me at the ambulance and went still at the sight of the man who had his back to me. No fucking way. But I knew even before the man turned around what he’d look like. Blond and built…and a fucking fantastic kisser. The man Luke had referred to as Brody turned and froze when he saw me, his eyes going wide. He managed to collect himself pretty quickly, but I knew it would only last the few seconds it would take for him to see who the patient was. Brody””
