Lance had just finished his shift at the hospital and realized he hadn’t eaten in hours. Grabbing a breakfast burrito from the cafeteria, he ate as he drove home. His mind was on a hot shower and his soft bed when he passed Colt heading out of town on Highway 60. Jane wasn’t on the back of his Harley, and Lance assumed that meant she was alone.

He wondered if Colt had chucked her aside like every other woman he spent time with. The thought of Colt hurting Jane made him angry. He felt Jane was special, and it wasn’t because of all the crazy rumors going around. He didn’t believe a word of it.

Lance had felt a connection with her the first time he talked to her at the hospital, shortly after she’d started to recover from her injuries. It was only a few short minutes, but it had left him looking for excuses to see her. He’d been so busy, and those visits had been short and infrequent, but he’d enjoyed them all the same.

He thought back to the fire at the shelter. He had no doubt that whatever had started that fire was an innocent accident. When the firemen brought her to his ambulance, she had been in shock and scared. While he’d hated that Jane was not well, he had been thankful for the chance to talk to her, and he admitted to having been more than happy to treat her. After that, he had secretly been hoping that she’d want to get to know him better. Even if it meant she might have a little hero worship, as long as it had sparked her interest, he’d take it. It seemed logical to him that a patient might feel strong positive emotions toward the EMT who had treated her in her time of need. He couldn’t remember an incident where that had actually happened to him, but he could certainly hope it would where Jane was concerned.

He smiled as he remembered her sitting next to him, her wet hair sticking to her face as she’d huddled under the blanket he’d given her. Once she’d recovered from the initial shock, she’d given him lots of smiles and seemed to enjoy his company—that was, until that testosterone-filled meathead Colt had shown up. Then, Jane had only had eyes for him.

It just pissed Lance off all over again that women would seem to flock to Colt without him even trying to attract their attention. He’d managed to steal pretty much every girl Lance had asked out in high school. Sure, he had to admit that Colt hadn’t likely done it on purpose. They had even been friends once upon a time. But when puberty had hit, Colt had turned into an Adonis, and Lance had been left behind to be just another guy friend the girls would barely acknowledge. Add that to Colt’s short flings and cocky attitude, and it hadn’t taken long to drive a wedge between them.

Now, Lance was sure that Colt had tossed aside Jane, and Lance wasn’t going to let this opportunity go by.
