The first thing I feel is pain. It’s dull and aching, but it’s there. I blink and see darkness. But then I blink again, and my vision swims back to me. Consciousness seeps over me like melting snow. I groan, and I sit up.

“Fuck!” I hiss. Pain rips through me, taking my breath away.

“Hey, hang on. Relax.” Hands touch me, and I jump. On instinct, I grab the wrist with one hand and reach for my gun with the other. But my belt is empty, and the wrist I grab is delicate and smooth. I blink away the cobwebs and look up. In disbelief, I realize it’s Tessa’s gorgeous blue eyes staring back at me.

“Stop moving, you’ll tear out the stitches,” she mutters. She pushes me back. I could fight her, but I don’t. I let her push me back across the bed I’m lying in. I glance around. I’m still in my loft hideout, in the bed I keep in the larger open area. But the staggering thing is, she’s still here, too. I look back into her eyes, and she even smiles a little.

“Relax,” she says quietly.

“What the fuck happened?”

“You fainted like a little girl seeing a mouse.” She grins at my confusion. “I’m not sure if you knew this, but there was a bullet lodged under your lower ribs?”

“You don’t say,” I grunt. I glance down and see a clean white square of bandage taped to my side.

“Had,” she says sharply. She flicks something onto my bare chest. I reach up with a hand and grab it. It’s a mangled looking bullet. My eyes swivel back up to hers. “You took this out of me?”

“Lucky you didn’t kidnap a business major.”

I frown. “Well, thanks,” I say a little shocked. “It was fine though.”

Yeah, right. It’s utter bullshit, and I know that. So does Tessa. She rolls her eyes.

“Oh, yeah, it was totally fine bleeding out while you blacked out on the floor. No big deal for a big tough guy like you, right?”

I frown. “You fixed me.”

“I did.”

She could have run and left me here to die. But here I am alive. And here she is, still here.

“You could have run.”

“I know.” She shrugs.

“So why didn’t you?” Tessa twists her lip in her teeth. “Why’d you save me, Tessa?”

She frowns. “Because I’m going to be a doctor, and doctors save people. That’s literally what they do. And you don’t pick and choose who you do.” She shrugs. “So, that’s why.”

“Even if it meant not running away from your kidnapper?”

“Guess so,” she shoots back.

“Thank you.”

“For not running away or for saving your ass?”

I smile. “Both? Mostly saving my ass though.”

“Well,” she shrugs, and her face blushes red. “You’re welcome, I guess.” She chews on her lip again, and I groan a little inside.

Fuck, I want her mouth again. I want all of her, actually. I want to pin her down and use my tongue to explore every fucking inch of her skin.

“My dad…” Tessa frowns and trails off.

“Yeah, Dino sure is fun, huh?” I growl.
