Free Flame (Ruin Outlaws MC #4) by Amy Isan Page B

with his free hand. "Can you help us?"
    The line is silent for some time. "Okay. We'll find you. I got the coordinates." The line goes dead.
    Logan stares at the phone. "He..."
    "— Sounded surprised. Is that weird?"
    He shrugs. "No. He's usually really relaxed. But this whole Skeletons thing might be getting to him." Logan strokes his beard and rubs his temple. "Unless... No, I can't believe that shit."
    "What shit?"
    "Remember what Victor said in Mexico about Surge?"
    My eyes go wide. "You don't think...?"
    "I don't know what to think anymore." Logan scratches his head and groans. "What if he's always been fucking with me?" He kicks the ground and a stone goes hurtling out into the sage. "Why would he do that? To what end? Just... for fun?" I haven't seen him like this before, and I'm sure the  terrifyingly hot sun isn't helping.
    "I don't know, Logan, but come here. Get out of the sun already."
    Logan relaxes and drops his shoulders. He nods to me and exhales. "You're right." He climbs under the outcropping and joins me. He breathes a heavy sigh of relief as his forehead hits the shade and he sits down.
    I peel off his shirt from my head and hand it to him. He pats himself dry with it, his shoulders looking really raw now that we're out of the direct sunlight.
    My hand burns with pain, but I can't let Logan know. It'll only worry him more, and he has enough to worry about right now.
    I swallow what spit I have left and my heart races. I hide my bandaged hand by forcing it under my butt. Maybe it isn't nerves, but just exhaustion setting in. I wouldn't call the sleep from last night the best I've ever had. Logan's eyes move to me, and he reels my hand out from under me and strokes it. I breathe and he kisses my hand, and rubs my skin until I relax.
    "It'll be okay, Cassie." He kisses my bandaged hand again and I flush from something other than the heat. I feel so silly blushing at him kissing my hand, but it's sweeter than anything I've come to expect from him.
    He lifts his eyes and looks at me. "I told you I won't let anything happen to you."
    I believe it. He hasn't let me down yet.
    And I won't let him down, either.
