Keegan

Keegan paced the dock, cursing and stomping impatiently. What the hell where they doing out there with her?

The small rescue boat pulled up in the slip the larger boat had just vacated. "It's about damned time. How is she?"

Keegan jumped in to the boat, rocking it violently but he ignored the comments of the other men as he scooped Nikki up in his arms and leaped back onto the dock. The woman was shaking violently. He needed to get her to the emergency room. Keegan took off at a run toward his truck, footsteps sounding behind him.

"Thanks, guys!" he heard a voice call out but he didn't stop.

"Keegan! Would you wait for me please?" The same voice was yelling after him but he kept moving.

When he finally reached his truck, he realized his keys were in the pocket of his jeans. "Son of a bitch!"

The man running after him finally caught up. "What's wrong, brother?" Kaiden panted.

"My keys. I can’t reach them. Front right pocket."

His twin reached in and fished out the keyring. "Get in, I'll drive you."

Keegan did as he was told, pulling Nikki across his lap and slamming the door shut. As soon as Kaiden turned the engine over, Keegan turned the heat on full blast. "I've got to get her boots off, don't go anywhere yet." Pushing the door back open, he let Nikki's feet hang down the side of the seat. With one hand, he worked both boots off her feet, dumping ocean water out of them and tossing them into the back seat.

He closed the door again. "Okay, go!"

Keegan held Nikki close, whispering in her ear and rubbing her arms and legs to try and warm her. The cab of the truck began to feel like an oven. Nikki still shook but with less ferocity. As they hit the main road, her eyelids fluttered open.

"Keegan?"

He smiled down at her. "Yes."

"Why were you so mean to me?"

"What do you mean, I was mean to you?"

"You pulled me out of the water then pretended not to be you."

"It wasn't me." Both the brothers laughed heartily as Keegan shifted Nikki a little on his lap keeping the blanket tightly wrapped around her. The shaking was finally tapering away. "Meet my twin brother, Kaiden. He works for Homeland Security and has a few buddies in the Coast Guard. They are the ones that fished you out."

"Coast Guard. Homeland Security. FBI. Border Patrol and ATF. You James people are connected."

Kaiden laughed. "You don’t know the half of it. Wait until you meet our mother."

"Is she in the NSA?"

This time Kaiden and Keegan bust out in laughter. "No," Keegan managed to get out between laughing bouts, "but she is more connected than we are!"

Nikki shook her before letting it fall against his shoulder. "Where are you taking me?"

Her breath warmed his cheek. Keegan bit back a groan that formed with the intimate contact. "The E.R.," Kaiden replied.

"No, you don't have to do that. I'm fine, really. I just need a hot shower and dry clothes.
