Hearts Under Fire

Ten years ago, Maxwell you-can-just-call-me Clark thought he would spend his life as a military man. But his world turned into a nightmare when a suicide bomber destroyed Clark's career. It's been a long road to recovery, but now Clark finally has peace. His bar, Glow, is the place to be in the city of New Amsterdam; Lucian Gray, the son of the mayor, employs Clark as a confidential information man; and Clark’s side venture as part-owner of a BDSM club is quite the profitable release. Clark’s life is a good one, so long as no one gets too close.<br><br>Then a man walks into Glow who will forever change Clark’s rules and reality. Thinking Professor Daniel Germain is just another handsome face ripe for Clark’s kind of good time, Clark puts on his smoothest moves. When the professor turns him down, Clark goes on the hunt, and what he discovers shows him that even the deepest wounds can be healed by submitting to love.

Chapter 74

Turning her, Daniel saw the pink and white of bone through her right shoulder. The enormity of the exit wound made him gulp and swallow until he had his stomach under control. When several other students crept out of classrooms at the end of the hall, Daniel barked, “You and you, come here.”

The two male students came. Laurie’s injuries made the smaller one throw up, but when he stayed anyway, Daniel was impressed. He searched his brain for names. Jeffrey from Glow. Clark’s boy at the bar. The other was Aquila, a beautiful young Argentinean, brilliant at system modeling

“She’s going on your back, Aquila,” Daniel said to the taller boy, who nodded at him. “Jeffrey, help me get her up.”

Daniel took Laurie’s injured side; it wasn’t as if more blood was going to make any difference. If they could get Laurie to the EMTs, she’d have a chance. The police wouldn’t risk personnel who couldn’t defend themselves until they had the killer locked down.
