His other arm goes around my back and crushes my entire body to his hard chest. A rupture of current flows in the body and I gasp in shock because this is impossible. My heart beats rapidly. I already know who the person is. I try to push him but his hold tightens more. "You wanted the entire college to kiss you right?" He growls in my ear and all the tiny hairs on my skin stand in goosebumps. "Kevin" I tried to warn him but to my ears, it sounds like a breathless plea. "You know how I feel about you but for you, everything is a game" He bites my earlobe slightly hard, and as much as it hurts, it feels good. "Hey! Make it fast man. Others are waiting" Someone from the crowd shouts. Kevin fists my hair and tugs it. "Ahh" "Do you want them to kiss you?" He asks angrily and what a turn-on it is but I'm not a fool to rile him more. He can do some serious damage. "No"

Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what?

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. "Absolutely, not." ************************ Gemma Reynolds is an an overworked nurse and probably one of the most innocent and pure people you will ever meet.

When Wyatt comes into the hospital battered, bruised and bleeding, one night, Gemma is to take care of him. Through several long nights at the hospital, dangerous hide outs and intricate explanations, Gemma figures out that there is more to life than her simple routine and maybe nursing the bad boy isn't as bad as it seems.
