I grab the bike and pull it out of the dirt The handlebars are a little bent, but it’s better than nothing
“Rylan!” Blake snaps as he starts walking over
I ignore him as I climb onto the bike and start it
He starts running “Rylan! What in the hell are you—”
The sound of the engine drowns hi down the road to catch my mate
It’s a two-lane expressway, one lane for each direction There’s a row of traffic ontoo damn slow
I start to get all panicky and twitchy when I try to pass him and I can’t
“Corowl as the fierce wind hits my face
Finally, the traffic in the opposing lane stops I turn into it and swerve between honking cars as I race to catch up to irl
I crank the throttle and go even faster Theminivan and back into my lane
My eyes are four cars up but I still can’t see her The expressway reaches the mountains and the road becomes windier with more blind turns
I don’t let up Myto find her I just want to see her face I need to knohat color eyes she has What her lips look like Will she recognize me when she sees me?
“Yes!” I shout when I eventually see her blue car in the distance I rev the bike even harder and race to catch up with her
She’s all I can focus on as the cars and trees whizz by
My bear is deathly quiet Completely still He wants to find her as irl we’re going to claim, breed, and mark as our own
She’s so close…
I swerve around the last car and then drive up beside her My hands are shaking and side her car
There’s a gyrin as another whiff of her intoxicating scent hitsit away too fast I want to breathe it in slowly, savor it, revel in it, but I can’t Not yet anyway
I roll up beside her door and the sight of her blonde hair snatchesI haven’t seen her face, but I already know
A car flies past rily as his side razes my elbow I can’t take my eyes off her I need her to see me
I reach out to knock on her e approach a sharp turn in the mountain road, but I’m forced to keep my hands on the handlebars
A rush of adrenaline hits me when Itwenty-eight years for The ht of whenever I stroked my hard cock
I’m finally about to see my mate
There’s no doubt incell in my body
I can’t peel my eyes off of her
That’s why I don’t see the eighteen-wheeler truck speeding around the bend that’s headed right for me
I hear the horn and I snap -splattered MACK on the big rill
After that, everything goes black…
Chapter Two
Mila
“Thank you, doctor,” the elderly man says as he helps his wife off the examination table They’re so cute and I can’t help but smile as I watch them He’s been so attentive to her needs
Itin my life
I wish I had someone to look at me like that To hold my hand like that
“Why are you scaring me like this, Maureen?” he asks as he takes her purse “What would I do without you?”
“Probably go partying in Florida for Spring Break,” she says with a wrinkly grin “Wouldn’t you like that, Harold? Dancing and partying on the beach with a bunch of younger girls?”
I’ as I pretend to read my chart
“My dancing days are done,” he says with a laugh “It would beBreak-a-hip if I tried”
They thankhands Harold orried she was having a heart attack so he called an aestion
I step into the hallway and sigh as I watch them leave I’ets me every time
They turn the corner and I get back to work It’s quiet today at the hospital I just started work and there’s noton
A nagging feeling in the back ofme to room 76
I check my chart and I’ned to ue
Rylan Young 28 years old
The na o there To check it out
I take a deep breath and head over to grab a coffee while I still can As I’er, heavier, and pretty soon I can’t ignore it anymore
I’ll just go check it out and see
My heart starts racing as I walk over It’s filled with big muscular men
But not just any men…
Firemen
No wonder I was drawn to this room My libido probably sensed the testosterone froency appeal up to my brain
The four large men turn to me and I take a step back and s hard They’re enormous
All of the their fireman pants wi
th tight navy blue shirts Everywhere I look I see round biceps, massive chests, flat stomachs, and broad shoulders
They make me feel incredibly tiny, which is a hard task to accomplish with all of my extra curves
“Are you the nurse?” the one with tattoos running up and down his thick arms asks
“Dude, that’s sexist!” another one says He’s the youngest looking one out of the four of theeon even” He looks right at ht?”
I gulp “Just a doctor,” I say “Dr Matthews”
“Great,” the older looking one with the gray hair says, looking relieved “Is our boy okay?”
They move to the side and for the first time, I see the patient on the bed
He’s unconscious and breathing, but he looks like he’s on the verge of death Thesteadily, but from the way he looks, that could stop at any second
My feet startdrawn to him like a bee to honey I can’t take my eyes off his face
It’s gorgeous even though it’s been obliterated His eyes are swollen shut, his jaw looks like it’s been shattered and his skin is a mess Where it’s not torn up and shredded, it’s covered in dried blood
“What happened to hi my eyes
One of the guys laughs “He tried to80 round like a crash test dummy”
I spin around and glare at him That shuts his smart mouth up really fast
