Romance: JADEN: An MMA Fighter Romance (Bad Boy Tattoo Romance) (New Adult Pregnancy Short Stories) (65 page)

There was a hesitance in the mousy man’s gaze for half of a second, and then he grinned, displaying sharp little teeth. “Not if we kill you as well,” he said.

William made a noise suddenly, and all of the attention of the thugs and Robinson were on William once again.

“I appreciate it, darlin’, but looks like my ride has appeared,” he said, that customary smirk firmly placed on his lips once again. His eyes twinkled at Alice, and he opened the door and stepped outside.

Alice let out a small scream as he disappeared from the platform and quickly made her way over to the door before the other men could beat her to it. William was drawing a horse away from the side of the train. She stared at him, mouth agape for several moments.

When he looked back at her and extended a hand, she found that she hesitated for half of a second. Her life as a mail order bride to whomever she was supposed to meet in twenty miles flashed before her eyes as if she had already lived it, all of the unhappiness and strife. The bleak reality of it.

That hand reached through the hopelessness and offered her a way out. Without another thought of hesitating, of her trunk waiting two cars back and Gertrude sitting quietly with her glass of water waiting, Alice grasped William’s hand.

He had been her first many things, her first man who didn’t scare her, and the first man she had reached out to and touched of her own free will, her first kiss. She wanted endless firsts with this man in this exciting adventure that could be her life.

As William grinned back at her and she wrapped her arms around his middle, Alice returned his smile with equal vigor. This was the way life was supposed to be. It was meant to fill her to the brim, and she wanted only William to be the one who provided the life to fill her.

This man was her first, and he would most definitely be her last; her one and only.
