Free Pulse - Part Two by Deborah Bladon

card from his pocket and swipes it. The green light shines as he pulls the doorknob down, pushing the door open just enough so I can sneak in.
    Rebecca nods to me as she starts chattering to him about how brave he is and what a selfless job he's doing protecting all the patrons of the hotel.
    I slip into the darkened room and fumble with the light switch. As the small lamps on the table flicker on, I'm overcome with a rush of emotions. It's exactly the same as I remember it. This is the room. The same room that Nathan fucked me in and promised he gave up for me.
    My eyes dart to the counter near the bank of windows. Everything is in its place. It's obvious the cleaning staff have gone through the room recently. The glasses are all spotless and lined neatly in a row. The trash is cleared.
    I move quickly to the bedroom, realizing that I won't have much time if Rebecca runs out of steam. I push the call button for Nathan's number on my phone again and hear his ringing near me. I flip the light switch and instantly see the lighted screen of a phone dancing in the dim light. It's sitting on the top of bed.
    I reach for it and see my number flashing back at me. I pull my thumb over it and my breath hitches. I lean back against the bed, my knees giving out.
    I close my eyes and pull in a deep breath.
    I scroll silently through the messages.
    There's the five I've sent since this morning and so many more...
    I miss you sweetie. When are you going to fuck me again?
    I can't wait to have your cock back in my mouth. Call me.
    Thanks for yesterday. I'm still thinking about your tongue.
    It's been awhile, Nathan. What does a girl have to do to get laid by you?
    They're endless.
    Each more intimate than the last.
    All from different numbers.
    My thumb hovers over the contact list.
    Hundreds of names.
    All women.
    I scroll to the J.
    Click on it once.
    Scan the names until I find Jessica.
    Jessica A.
    Jessica C.
    And me... Jessica R.

    D eborah Bladon has never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She's a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you can often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan is definitely her second home.
    She cherishes her family and believes that each day is a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.
