A MILITARY ROMANCE
Chapter 1: Evie
"I'm hurrying," I grumble to my ringing cell phone as I dash into my townhouse, kicking the door shut behind me. Turning around, I flip the locks and reach into my purse, searching for my cell. Of course, my fingers connect with the phone just as the ringing ceases.
"Shit." I already know I'm going to be late. I should probably cancel. I don't even feel like going out tonight.
The shrill ringing cuts the air again and I sigh. Dropping my purse on the console in the hallway, I head into my living room, collapsing onto the couch.
"Jenny," I answer, curling my feet up below me and resting my head back on the cushions. My eyes shut. "I'm not sure about tonight. I'm really not up for it and I've—"
"Save it. I don't care. You're coming. Miranda and I haven't seen you in forever, and I really need a night out. You owe me."
I smile in response to her tenacity, but refuse to give in that easily. "I don't know. It's been a really long—"
"Day, week, month for all of us, which is why we need to grab a drink. I know you're probably pouting on your couch at the moment, trying to think of an excuse to ditch us again, but I'm not having it. Get your butt up, hop in the shower, pull on a pair of jeans and a sexy halter, and maybe, just maybe, if you cut the resting bitch face and smile a little, you'll even get laid tonight."
I manage to choke out a chuckle while a shudder runs down my spine, my eyes snapping open. "With a guy I meet at Raf's? Come on. We're lucky we don't contract STDs just from entering the place."
Jenny laughs, a girlish giggle she's had since high school. "Or needing a Tetanus shot from the hazardous bar."
I join in her laughter now, forcing myself to stand up. "Fine. I'll meet you girls there in an hour."
"We'll be sitting at the bar."
"Duh."
"There will be a Cosmo with your name on it so don't be late."
"No. Lenny makes the worst Cosmos ever. Just order a whisky sour or a gin and tonic, or something he can't mess up."
"A shot then. He should be able to handle that."
"See you there." Ending the call, I walk into my bathroom and toss my cell on the vanity.
Pinning up my hair since I know I won't have enough time to dry it, I take a quick shower and towel off in front of the mirror. Taking a moment to study myself, I note how my shoulders curve inward, as if they're trying to kiss. I can count my ribs, my boobs are nonexistent, and my arms hang awkwardly at my sides. Dark smudges from too many sleepless nights glare from underneath my eyes, exaggerated by the paleness of my skin. I look sallow, dejected, and exhausted.
I look like me.

After seven years of silence, Jaxon Kane barrels back into my life like he never left.
He's a hot, confident, fearless soldier, bearing new scars on top of old hurts. Jax isn't the same man I fell for in high school. But I've changed too.
Now that our paths have crossed again, I can't avoid him or dodge his questions. The harder he pushes to understand me, the more I resist.
Too broken for second chances, I know better than to let him in.

"Man, come on. You can't sit around all day and just play... hold up, is this War Cry? When did it release?" Denver drops onto the couch next to me, picking up a controller. "After this round, add me. I want in." He settles back against the lumpy cushions.
"All right," I agree, emptying my clip into an enemy and waiting for my kill count to increase. Once I've secured the area, I pause the game, saving my progress, and navigate back to the main menu, so I can play against my brother.
"You know, for someone who's been in a real war, you think you'd get tired of this shit," he mutters, scrolling through battlefield options before selecting a jungle in Vietnam.
Our setting and players load and the TV screen morphs into a war zone.
Reality shifts as memories and forgotten moments suddenly flood my mind.
A blur of onscreen bullets transports me to overwhelming heat and loud noises. Fear swells in my gut, eating at my stomach like acid, as I try to dodge real enemy fire. Ethan flickers before me, his blood seeping hot and angry from his chest and I open my mouth to call out just as Den curses beside me. Jumping in my seat at his voice, I swallow back the dread creeping up my throat and try to quiet my breathing. Ignoring Denver's concerned look, I shake my head to warn off his questions as onscreen me tosses a grenade.
We've only been playing a few minutes when Carter bounds through the door and presses power on the game console, ending our play and blacking out the television screen.
"What the fuck?" Denver tosses the controller onto the coffee table in front of us.
"Get up." Carter orders, kicking my feet off the coffee table and leveling Denver with a glare. "You've been home over a week." He turns his gaze back to me. "You can't just sit around all day and pretend to shoot fake people. You gotta get out and see your friends and act, I don't know, normal. This mopey shit is getting old."
"Man, I'm sorry, Carter. I didn't realize that my being here, settling back in, is so difficult for you to fucking handle." I jump to my feet, my posture defensive, tone full of sarcasm.
Denver heaves a sigh beside me. "Let's go get a beer," he suggests.
"Fine," Carter agrees.
Under the scrutiny of both my big brothers' stares, I shrug, tugging hard on the back of my neck.
