CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Macy couldn’t breathe. She forced her eyes open and felt blinded by white. Memories flashed. A gun. Getting hit from behind. Being thrown against her seat. Slamming her head against the steering wheel. Careening into the intersection. Another bone-jarring jolt, then the car spinning. And…a coffin?

A coffin? Oh, God. Was this the white? As in, The White Light? As in, The End? If so, why wasn’t it beautiful? Why didn’t she want to go into it? Or did she want to?

No!

She opened her mouth to scream and got a mouthful of a chalky substance. Her mental fog started to lift. And she saw…not the path to the afterlife, just the freaking air bag. She sat back, gasped, and that’s when she saw red. Red all over the white air bag. Red, as in blood.

Her vision blurred. Black spots started popping up like fireworks in front of her eyes. She recalled another car hitting her. People could be hurt!

She opened the door. It creaked in protest but complied. She got one foot out of the car, and it landed on the street with a heavy thud. She saw more black spots.

“Macy,” someone called. She twisted, got her second foot out of the car. Between the black splotches, she saw Baldwin dodging a spinning coffin to get to her. Yup, it was really a coffin. Damn, he looked…hot? Good thing she wasn’t dead, because she’d have regretted never…Never what? Seeing him naked? Doing the naked Hokey Pokey? Okay, obviously she wasn’t thinking straight.

She heard a car door open. A man stepped out of a wrecked Honda. He looked okay. No blood. She recalled the blood smeared on her air bag and then felt something warm drip down her forehead. She pulled herself upright and felt more blood. Her knees buckled, and…

She felt herself being lifted, pulled close. Baldwin? Okay, maybe she should start calling him Jake now. Her cheek found his masculine chest a perfect pillow. Black fireworks floated across her vision again. She inhaled. “Jake, you smell…good.” Then her whole world went black.
