Max Temptation by Khelsey Jackson

could find anything out because he was the only family Max had left. Detective Moore hadn’t tried to talk to her, he just sat there watching her. She knew he had questions, but he had to know she wasn’t in the mood to answer any until she knew about Max.
    “Megan, the doctor wants to talk to me.”
    Her eyes flew opened, and she sat up.
    Jax wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on her shoulder. “I want you to come with me.” She nodded and stood up on shaky legs, he took her hand in his and walked to where a man stood wearing blue scrubs.
    “Jax Davis?” He asked and Megan wanted to punch him in his stupid face. He knew that this was Max’s brother.
    “I am, this is Max’s fiancé Megan Hinder.” The doctor shook his hand and hers, she was shocked to hear what Jax said.
    “Max is in recovery , we did all we could during surgery. Thankfully the bullet didn’t hit anything major. But he did lose a lot of blood, more than he should have. We think it was his adrenaline that caused most of his blood loss. The next twenty-four hours may be rough, we get to play a waiting game.”
    Megan felt her legs go weak, she wasn’t stupid. She knew that Max’s life could end easily. Just because he was an incubus didn’t mean he couldn’t die. Jax wrapped an arm around her waist to help her, and the doctor raised one eyebrow at them.
    “When can we see him?” Jax asked the question she wanted to ask, but couldn’t.
    “Now, but only two at a time.” He looked between Megan and Jax. “Let the nurse know when you are ready to see him.” The doctor turned away from them and she turned to Jax.
    He wiped away the tears she didn’t know were falling, and smiled affectionately down at her. “Let’s go see him.” She nodded and allowed Jax to talk to the nurse.
    “Excuse me, ma’am?”
    The young blonde turned around and did a double take when she saw Jax. She smiled at him and tucked her hair behind her ears. “What can I do for you?” she asked, sounding suggestive, and Megan rolled her eyes.
    “We would like to see Max Davis, please.”
    The young woman nodded, and kept her eyes on Jax. If Megan was in a better mood she would have done something to show her that he was taken.
    “Go to the door off to the side and I will buzz you in.”
    Megan didn’t wait for Jax , she moved away from him.
    He reached for hand and pulled her back to him. “Hey, he’s going to be okay.”
    Fresh tears burned her eyes and she shook her head. “You don’t know that for sure.”
    He framed her face with his hands and brushed the tips of his fingers under her eyes. “I do, if he was going to die he would have already. When he wakes up you will need to feed him. That will heal him quicker.”
    She nodded and looked at the door as it opened.
    “I need to talk to Phoenix, are you okay to go back there by yourself?”
    “Yes, I will be fine. Phoenix is Max’s best friend you need to let him know he’s going to be okay.”
    Jax kissed her cheek and turned away from her.
    The pretty nurse narrowed her eyes when she saw Megan. “Follow me,” she said and turned around. Megan rolled her eyes as she walked behind the nurse. They stopped outside a room, she glanced at the name on the door DAVIS was written in large black. “You can go in.”
    Megan nodded and took a deep breath, she knew that Max was going to be okay , but he was shot because of her. Her crazy ex-boyfriend shot him, and that just about destroyed her. She placed her hand on the door knob and slowly turned it.
    The first thing she heard was beeping from the machines, but when she saw her strong Max laying in a bed motionless she felt new tears forming. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks from the lighting, and she desperately wanted to see his emerald green eyes caress her like he always did when she entered a room. She forced her feet to move toward the bed, he had an IV in his hand and oxygen tube in his nose.
    When she got closer to him she
