Wrestling Desire 2 (A Contemporary Romance) (10 page)

The clang of the bell immediately followed his order and Emma moaned in response.  “Easy, baby,” Holt soothed and glanced up at Garrett.  “Where in the hell are the medics or Doctor Andrews?”

“I don’t know?” Garrett shook his head.  “They weren’t expecting anything to happen.  Somebody probably had to go track them down.”

She needed help now and Holt wasn’t going to leave her lying on the ground in front of the crowd. “I’m not waiting any longer.”  Careful not to injure her further, he scooped her into his arms and with Garrett leading the way raced toward the back. 

He’d just reached the entry way when Doctor Andrew’s appeared.  “What happened?”

“It was an accident, Doc.  I knocked her off balance and she fell backwards into the steps.”

Doctor Andrew quickly looked around and pointed to a door nearby.  “Medical is on the other side of the building. Let’s take her into the catering hall.”

Garrett held the door open as Holt carried her inside.  The hall was filled with his co-workers who’d come to participate in the storyline celebrating Holt’s birthday.  Caught off guard by their early entrance many turned to see what was going on.

A low murmur rippled through the group and Holt headed for an empty couch in a localized sitting area.  He laid Emma down and moved above her head so he was still close but out of Doctor Andrews’s way.

The camera’s long forgotten, silence filled the air as the doctor set about examining Emma.  Holt barely remembered to breathe as he waited.  If he’d hurt Emma or the baby he’d never forgive himself.

A final request…

As you know, it’s becoming more and more difficult to find a good story to read and with little free money to purchase books, people are fearful to try new authors. 

So, if you enjoyed this book and believe it is worth sharing, I ask that you take just a few seconds to share your thoughts and opinions on the story.  Your recommendation may bring hours of reading enjoyment to others.  They’ll be grateful to you for recommending enjoyable, affordable entertainment and I’ll be most grateful for helping to spread my name to the people.

Thank you,

Michelle
