pushing on my shoulder, signaling me to sit down.
“I think we’re ok for now, we need to get you fixed up then find her father.”
“Come on man, it’s nothing, a scratch,” I say as my body betrays me.
“Stop acting macho,” Kelli yells at me, “You’re shaking, just sit down and let him help you.”
Nodding, I plop myself on the ground and hand the med bag over to Dodge. I’ll let her win this battle, it’s not worth fighting. As he pulls items from the bag, I peel off my shirt. Looking up I see something flicker across Kelli’s face. Maybe I have a chance at reconnecting with her. Her eyes are dark and hooded and there’s slight smile on her mouth. I should be focused on this shit storm we’re in, but all I can think of is getting my Kelli back. I’ve wasted too much of my life without her.
“See something you like Kel?” I ask her, she turns her head away, blushing. I can’t help but laugh. Damn she’s grew up nice.
Chapter 4
Kelli
Turning away from Mitch, I try to wipe the drool from my mouth without anyone noticing. My cheeks burn and I hope he can’t see me blushing. The green button down he is wearing hides a lot. The man has the chiseled body of an Adonis. His shoulders, arms, chest, abs, all of it massive and well defined. He has a stomach you can do your laundry on and it’s covered with tattoos. His left arm and right side are decorated in ink and it just makes me want to jump on his cock right here. I may have a slight weakness for tattoos, and muscles, oh and guns. Yea, I’m not your average woman. He certainly doesn’t look much like the teenager I used to be in love with. Too bad his friend is here. Sex Kel, that’s it, it’s only sex. I say it in my head like a mantra. It’s not love, just a dry libido needing watering. Taking a deep breath, I turn back, and his pale blue eyes are fixed right on me. For real? The man has just been shot and all he can do is stare at me like he wants to eat me. Which, normally, would be absolutely fine with me, except its Mitch. The man who broke my heart. My first love. I’ll never forget that empty feeling, the pain I went through when I realized he didn’t love me. The fact that his brother was right about it, only made it worse. Why him? Why did the rescue team have to include Mitch? I have to remember the pain. That’s the only way I’ll survive this. I can’t let him back in to hurt me again. I made that promise to myself ten years ago. I won’t back down from that. Looking away from him again, I can’t bear to see the bullet wound in his bicep. Blood runs down his skin, and I feel bad that it’s my fault. His arms are like a piece of art and not only is this a man I saw myself marrying when I was young and dumb, but it’s also a law enforcement officer, hurt, because of me. How had I missed the Gessatti connection in Billy Joe’s file? Plus, if there’s crooked Rangers, then maybe that explains how he seemed to have gotten away so easily in the first place. This whole thing should have been an easy pick up. Billy Joe’s not even that smart. But the whole thing is turning into a mess.
“Ok darling, we’re all done here,” I hear Dodge say. Looking back at the two men, they seem so alike. Both attractive, built, strong men who obviously take care of themselves. They are the type that makes women weak in the knees. But Mitch does it for me. When I look at him, my heart flutters and I can’t even remember his partners here. I’m in deep shit. Already I can feel myself falling back into that familiar, comfortable routine with him. I have to fight it, there’s no way I can allow this to happen.
“Ready to go find your dad?” Mitch asks me. Shit. I can’t believe I even forgot about dad. Nodding my head, I run my hand through my hair. I hope he’s ok. Crap, what if those guys find him before we can make our way back there? This is not good.
“I have a map here, can you show us where you left him?
“I think we’re ok for now, we need to get you fixed up then find her father.”
“Come on man, it’s nothing, a scratch,” I say as my body betrays me.
