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. My mate is up there and I’ll do anything to find her. I just want to see her face. I need to know what 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 much as I do. It’s our sole purpose in life—to find the girl 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 my heart feels like it’s going to explode as I ride up alongside her car.
There’s a gym bag in her backseat and I grin as another whiff of her intoxicating scent hits my nose. The wind is taking it 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 snatches my breath away. She’s stunning. I haven’t seen her face, but I already know.
A car flies past me in the opposite direction, honking angrily as his side mirror grazes my elbow. I can’t take my eyes off her. I need her to see me.
I reach out to knock on her window as we 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 I move up a little faster. This is the moment I’ve been waiting twenty-eight years for. The moment I’ve dreamed of and thought of whenever I stroked my hard cock.
I’m finally about to see my mate.
There’s no doubt in my mind that it’s her. I can feel it with every aching cell 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 my eyes away from her just in time to see the bug-splattered MACK on the big metal grill.
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.
It makes me realize what I’m lacking in 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’m grinning as I pretend to read my chart.
“My dancing days are done,” he says with a laugh. “It would be more like Spring Break-a-hip if I tried.”
They thank me again as they leave, laughing and holding hands. Harold was worried she was having a heart attack so he called an ambulance. I was happy to tell them both that it was just indigestion.
I step into the hallway and sigh as I watch them leave. I’m such a sucker for old couples who still hold hands. It gets 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 not much going on.
A nagging feeling in the back of my mind starts poking at me again. It’s calling me to room 76.
I check my chart and I’m not due in that room. In fact, the patient in there is assigned to my colleague.
Rylan Young. 28 years old.
The name doesn’t ring a bell, but for some reason, my body is urging me to go there. To check it out.
I take a deep breath and head over to grab a coffee while I still can. As I’m pouring my milk in, the pull to the room gets stronger, 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 from down the hall and sent an emergency appeal up to my brain.
The four large men turn to me and I take a step back and swallow hard. They’re enormous.
