Ride for Two: A Biker Erotic Romance (Black Death MC) (3 page)

They reached the lower level and motioned for Logan to take cover behind a large metal object. He did so. Then, he waited for them to bust in the door. They went inside and found a door with a large padlock. He could hear Lina's voice behind it and sent up a silent prayer that she was alright.

The door swung open and his eyes found her immediately. She was bound and bloody. He could see where there were open gashes on her forearms. She had several shallow cuts on her face and legs, too. He rushed to her. He barely heard the warnings the police gave him, but he couldn’t stop himself from running to her. Just after crossing the threshold, he heard something behind him and turned towards the noise. He saw a quick glimpse of a man covered in black. The next instant, a scathing pain reached his face. His world went dark and he collapsed to his knees.

Lina saw him crumple and screamed. She struggled against her bonds. The man in black took one more step toward him. Before the man reached Logan, the police shot off a warning round into his shoulder. He hit the ground. Quickly, the police tied the man up and lifted him out of the room. They untied Lina and she ran to Logan’s side.

"Logan?" she whispered, terrified. She pushed on him gently. She heard the police call out for an ambulance. When Logan’s face turned towards her, she couldn't stop the gasp that flew out of her mouth.

His entire face was covered in blood. A knife butt stuck out of a wound near his temple, above his right eye. She felt for his pulse. It was there, but weak.

Minutes later, the ambulance technicians came in with the stretcher. They quickly loaded him in the ambulance and took off towards hospital. Lina rode inside the ambulance. She watched as the medics worked on him while they sped onwards. Once they arrived inside the hospital, they immediately proceeded to clean him up and prepare him for surgery.

Various nurses informed Lina on his status, as they worked to remove the knife. It was a slow process. She knew Logan would likely have optic or brain injuries, if he survived this. A wound near the temple could be deadly.

It was late before the procedure was complete. Lina was told that Logan was cleaned and stitched. He rested in the hospital bed and Lina immediately went to him. She vowed to stay by his side until he was released from the hospital.

She held his hand while they patched her up, as well. Most of her cuts were shallow. Only a few deeper ones needed stitches.

Lina sat and prayed. She thought of all the things she had never said to Logan. Then, she reflected on how empty her life seemed without him. She didn't want any more mornings apart from him, no matter the circumstances. She could give up the fancy house, her car, her job...anything just to bring him from the brink of death.

He woke up almost twenty-four hours later. She saw him blink his eyes open. She couldn't help herself. She leaped up and hugged him.

"You're awake!" she shrieked. After she settled down, she said, "If you ever do that to me again, Logan Black, so help me..."

She waited for him to answer. She saw him open and shut his mouth a couple times, then his jaw pulsed and tensed. His eyes remained unfocused and glassy.

"Baby? Are you okay?" she asked, concerned. She rubbed his hand for support. "I know you're in a lot of pain but..."

She trailed off. What else could she say? I'm sorry you ended up injured, again, because of me? She settled with, "I love you. Thank you, for what you did, Logan."

He said something, but she didn't quite catch it. Then, he repeated it louder with an edge of panic, "Lina, I can't see. I can't see anything."
