Combust: A Devil Chaser's MC Romance by L Wilder Read Free Book Online

the gnawing pain in my side as I take my time claiming her mouth with my tongue… warm and wet. Fuck. I’d give anything if I could spend the night exploring her perfect mouth. Even with the exhaustion taking over me, I have to have more of her. I want to know what it feels like to be inside her, know every fucking inch of that perfect little body of hers. I am totally lost in her touch when she begins to pull away from me. Fuck, I don’t want to let her go... but she’s leaving me no choice. She places her hands on my chest and frees herself from my embrace. I growl with disapproval and reluctantly let her go.
    “I don’t think….” she starts.
    “Don’t,” I interrupt.
    “What?”
    “You know what,” I say, pulling her back over to me. She doesn’t protest as she gently lays her head on my shoulder. I put my arm behind her as she curls up next to me and waits quietly for me to fall asleep.
    When I wake up, she’s gone. I wish I could say that the kiss was the start of something between us… that since she’d had a taste of me, she only wants more. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case.
    Over the next couple of days, she is cold and distant, playing the part of a doctor perfectly. I am fed up with it, though, and tonight that shit is going to end.

    Why the hell did he have to go and kiss me like that? The spark that shot through me when his lips touched mine went straight to my soul. It’s the only thing I’ve been able to think about, and I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I’ve never felt like that before, and since it happened, I’ve been trying my best to avoid him. I go in to give him his meds and check his vitals, but I leave before he really has a chance to talk to me. I feel so silly acting like this, but I can’t stop myself. I don’t know how to act when he’s sitting there with that sexy smirk on his face. It’s like he’s enjoying the effect that he’s having on me. I try my best not to look at him, but I can feel the heat of his stare scorching my skin when I walk in and out of the room.
    I’m being ridiculous. It was just a kiss, and I’m acting like a freaking idiot. I need to get my shit together and help him get back on his feet. A man like him isn’t going to want to wait around here much longer. The thought of him leaving makes my heart drop deep into my chest, but I know it’s only a matter of time before he’ll be ready to get back to his life. I’ve got to stop acting like a fool and do whatever it takes to get him ready to go home.
    I gather up his lunch and head down the hall. His back is propped up on several pillows, and he’s watching TV. As I glance over to him, my eyes take on a life of their own and slowly roam over his body. He’s all rugged with his three-day-old beard and tousled hair. Damn. He looks so good sitting there wearing those plaid sleep pants and that old faded t-shirt. When I finally stop ogling and look him in the eye, the TV goes mute. The expression on his face lets me know that he has something on his mind, but I’m not sure I’m ready to hear what he has to say.
    Trying to calm the nervousness that I feel growing in my stomach, I turn to him and say, “We’re under a winter storm warning, so I’m going to need to get some groceries before it gets here. Is there anything you want me to get while I’m out?”
    “How about a movie or something?”
    “I can do that. What kind of movies do you like?” I ask.
    “Just pick something you’d like to watch. I don’t care what it is. I’m up for anything,” he says with a smile.
    My heart begins to beat faster as I realize he wants to watch the movie with me. “Hmm… okay. I’ll be back in a couple of hours,” I tell him as I head towards the door.
    “Ana?” he calls.
    I turn back to him and say, “Yeah?”
    “Grab some popcorn or something, too.”
    I smile at him before I head out the door. When I get into town, I realize that
