Lev turned off the television and then took a long shower The evening beca the police after seeing his wolf Rachel in her black cocktail dress that revealed her luscious sexy body Rachel’s aro her panties Rachel’s sweet mouth as he ravished her with his final kiss

His head pounded Not froed to claim Rachel

He stepped out of the shower and crashed into bed Escaping his torn emotions in exhausted sleep

Rachel wiped tears from her eyes From the way she mourned for Lev, anybody would think they were more than casual acquaintances, but lovers She picked up her cell phone Her father would want to know the details about how Lev died saving thousands Perhaps, Hoould tell her more about the mysterious hero Odd as it was, she decided to bury her resentment toward her father and practice medicine with him Not an easy decision, but life was too short and she needed family more than ever And he was all she had

Rachel bit her lip and hit speed dial Instead of his voice or voice mail, an autoer in service”

“Huh?” Rachel sent him an eures” He did his duty as a father when she nearly died of Ebola and nursed her back to health Now he disappeared frohter dreaood Time to sever her connection with Howard, and any clue about Lev as well

Rachel batted back tears She hadn’t slept well for the last couple days, and relued to the news The officer on scene never called her back with the status on their search for Lev No John Doe No body Or rather body parts, yet

Only Maggie had called to make sure she was okay Rachel told her what happened and how terrible she felt Herherself for Lev’sif he hadn’t been there, hundredsback At least she could count on Maggie Yet, if Howard turned on the news, he would call and make sure she was okay These days any terrorist act upon Aave a rat’s ass about her

Rachel sighed and brewed another batch of coffee The only deaths were three men who had been on a boat near the explosion The suspect apparently had been a terrorist with ties to ISIS A lone wolf being held in the hospital with broken ribs and a concussion

The reporter took interviews fro muscular man who ran with the speed of a horse Rumors of a man in the special forces surfaced A n of hi hero She furrowed her brow Whothe New Year’s holiday? Or had he been here looking to stop the terrorist? But why go after hilehandedly? Did he work for the FBI or some special anti-terrorist task force? Still, if they’d known a lone terrorist lurked in New Orleans, they would have monitored all celebration events

Rachel sipped her coffee No She got the impression Lev had not expected a terrorist in their midst After all, their choice of venue had been hers and entirely random

Rachel wished she had knohich hotel he had stayed in She called several expensive French Quarter hotels, but none had a registration or reservation under his name She could call every New Orleans hotel, but why bother? If he survived, he hadn’t bothered to call her to tell her he was okay Even if he saw her as a casual dinner date, he’d let her know Freakin’ common courtesy

Guilt overtook her resentment She’d been left Not stood up like a bride at the altar Worse Not knowing Lev was gone and it was her fault

Yet her sorroas h a part of her had died along with hieous and char macho man No, there washio Men never made her lose her iddy fan girl

Geez Why am I so love sick?
