Free Reminding The SEAL (Navy SEAL Military Romance) by Milena Fenmore Page A

heart picked up speed. “You remember.”
    Demetri’s face was frozen as if he was in shock. He was staring into space. Caroline was worried that the memories of his time at sea might be too much. She picked up the phone and dialed her father’s room. She didn’t want to leave him alone but she had to get them there ASAP.
    Within minutes, both her father and Dr. Mathis were in the room. Caroline waited in the living area while they administered to him in the bedroom. Her mother and brother had also joined her and were anxiously waiting. Jacob was moving back and forth while Madelyn kept twisting her hands together.
    “Mom, stop wringing your hands like that. You’re making me nervous," she told Madelyn. It was nerve wracking enough without her adding to her tension. “Jacob, will you stop your pacing?”
    “Sorry honey, I’m just so nervous,” her mother said, all the while keeping her eyes on the bedroom door.
    Thomas was the first to come out of the room and he announced that Demetri had suffered a blunt force injury to his head some time ago. There was a scar to show for it, and he recommended a CT scan.
    “I can’t say for sure that this was the reason for his memory loss, but it’s a possibility,” Thomas concluded.
    “Daddy, can he travel?” she asked. She was thinking that Demetri should return to the US to get every medical checkup possible.
    “He should be able to travel.”
    “Honey,” her mother took her hand. “I think we should let the Navy know, so they can pick him up and fly him over.”
    “You’re right Mom. It’s going to be a hassle to fly him from here on a commercial flight and he perhaps was on mission that cannot be revealed.”
    Dr. Mathias came out of the room. He was a man of average height. A bit more rotund than her father, with brown hair that was balding on the crown and chocolate brown eyes.
    “He’s having flashes of memory. We should press him about what he remembers and we should keep an eye on him,” he told the family. “He might have a hard time with some memories, like what happened a month ago. Some of his memories might have been repressed from the stress and depression he’d gone through.”
    “You mean the injury didn’t cause the memory loss?” She asked, getting to her feet.
    “I can’t answer that. Without the scan, we can’t tell what level of brain damage he suffered, if any. His memory loss may be as a result of both the injury and extreme stress due to the experience he suffered.”
    Demetri was sleeping when she entered the room. Everyone left them alone upon the instruction of Dr. Mathias. Her father was the one with the task of contacting the Navy, so she was expecting them to drop in any minute and take Demetri.
    She snuggled beside him on the bed, facing him. That’s when she noticed he’d cut his hair. His hair was docked in the usual way for duty. She touched his cheek with her finger and smiled. As she withdrew her hand, he caught it and brought it to his lips.
    “My golden beauty,” he growled and her heart skipped a beat. “I missed you.”
    His eyes slowly opened and held hers. He was looking at her, really looking at her. He then reached over and covered her lips with his. She parted her lips to allow him to capture her tongue. He stroked it with precision. A ripple of pleasure coursed through her and she moved closer to him.
    “I missed you,” he muttered against her lips.
    Caroline wrapped her arms around his neck and gripped the back of his head. Her entire body felt like it was on fire for the adrenaline rush that shook her. From the top of her head to the sole of her feet, she was flushed. Demetri ran his hand along her spine, then squeezed her, causing her to push her hips forward.
    He reached under her blouse. His hand coming into contact with her skin, while his lips trailed kisses along her neck. Gently, he pushed her shoulder back, allowing her to lie back instead of on her side. He cupped her breasts and brushed his
