He hissed as the alcohol touched his bleeding wound and he grabbed my hand. His touch ignited a flame and I knew that later I might have to treat myself for burns. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" I asked, softly. I tried to calm my breathing as I did so, he was so close. The years that I spent staying away from his kind weren't paying off. "No," He retorted sarcastically, still holding onto my hand. "I hissed because I'm a snake. Of course that hurt, pumpkin." His comment awakened several buried memories, but I ignored them and continued to work on his wound. "Could you please let go of my hand now?" I muttered. He smirked and shook his head. "Do I scare you?" he asked, completely ignoring my question. Even though he did scare me, he scared me completely biscuit-less, I rose my head up and shook my light brown waves.

**NURSING THE BAD BOY SEQUEL** Wyatt smiled down at me. "You would think I'd get used to that gorgeous smile, pumpkin." We stood on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. The wind blew at my sundress and the sunset made the moment even more precious. I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. "You would think I'd know what to respond to that cheesy comment." I scrunched my nose together in mock disgust. "Wow, you're tough on a guy aren't you." He bent his head down to place his forehead against mine. I could smell the sweet Rosée on his breath and I closed my eyes. "Always," I whispered, "good things don't come easy." Wyatt didn't respond and I felt his body go rigid. I opened my eyes and before I could fully examine the ghostly look on his face. I heard it. Then I felt it. Piercing the back of my thigh. I knew the pain all to well. I had been shot. I didn't yell. My eyes went wide and the world went black. ************* Wyatt and Gemma had been through hell.
