Free Fall (Free Fall Vol. 2): (Loving Summer #7: The Donovan Brothers #4) by Kailin Gow

 
    Prologue
     
     
    Summer
     
    M y mouth went dry as I
remembered, despite being in a beautiful grand bedroom of some kind of mansion,
being straddled by a very handsome muscle-bound man who was nicely dressed,
that I was a prisoner.
    I
shuddered as he began unbuttoning my blouse, grabbed my breasts in his hands,
and began rubbing them, his thumbs making circles on the tip of each one.
“You’ve got beautiful breasts,” he said, moving his mouth close enough to begin
devouring them.
    I
grit my teeth. “Please don’t go there,” I said.
    He
stopped and shakily got up from me. “You’re right. I shouldn’t get involve with
you.”
    “What do you want from me?” I asked.
    “You
are Nat Donovan’s lover?” he asked.
    My
heart began beating quickly as I remembered why Nat had to change his identity
in the first place, had to pretend he was dead, and go into hiding…he was being
chased by some hacking crime ring that dealt with far more dangerous crimes
than hacking.  So…that was why Nat had his head bashed?
    “I
haven’t seen him or heard of him in years,” I said. “He just disappeared, and…”
I had to take a deep breath, “We dated in college once, but that was years
ago…I’m a doctor now, and now, it’s over. I moved on.”
    “Really?”
the man said, placing his hand on the middle of my chest. His eyes bore into
mine as he said, “How do you feel about Nat Donovan?”
    If
I answered that I cared, this man with the black dragon tattooed on his bald
head, this man whose large strong hand is positioned right where he can plunge
into my chest to tear out my heart…would end my life right here. 
    “I
asked again, how does Nat Donovan make you feel?” he said, observing my face,
looking straight into my eyes.  He was no ordinary man, and if I lied, he would
know it.  This was a man who was used to questioning countless amount of
people, and even killing them.
    “I…I…”
I thought of my life with Drew, my love for Drew, and I cleared my throat.  “I
said, I moved on. Whatever I feel for him was gone years ago.”
    The
man moved his hand across my ribs and close to the tip of my breast before
bringing it to my chin to cup it tightly in his hand.  “You are either lying
about how you feel about Nat Donovan or you’re very excited to have me touch
you.  For your sake, you better wish it’s the latter.”
     

 
     
     
     
    Chapter 1
     
    Nat
     
     
    I was still a little wobbly from my head
surgery as I tried to get up, tearing off all the medical attachments that was
still on me.  “I need to get to Summer,” I said to Rachel, who stood next to
me, trying to calm me down.
    “Easy
now,” she said. “The nurse said she’s getting the doctor to see if you’re well
enough to get discharged.”
    “We
don’t have time for that. Summer is in trouble. She could be tortured, beaten,
or worse as we stand here talking.”
    “But…”
Rachel looked at the door.
    “What
happened to the rebellious Rachel I used to know who would pull off stunts like
that Astor dumping Summer publicly gig for the press? Where is her sense of
adventure?”
    “I’ve
grown up, Nat, and I’m now in the public eye as an actor, like Astor.  Every
move I do, everything I say, can be found in the tabloids if I’m not careful,
and…”
    “Rachel
Donovan,” I said, grabbing her wrist. “Aunt Sookie would be scolding you for
how you turned out. Look, Summer is in trouble. Summer, our Summer?  This isn’t
the time to be having tea and biscuits. Get me out of here. Now, before the
nurse returns…”
    Rachel’s
eyes blinked twice, as though she was waking up from a hypnotized state. “You’re
right. What was I thinking? They’ve got Summer, and we have to get to her
now.”  She took off her floor-length silver faux fur coat to cover me up,
reached into her Birkin bag for sunglasses, and a hat.  I gave her a “you’ve
got to be kidding me look” before I went along with it.  “Sorry, Nat,
