Gabe – Evie Riley

“Cracked my head clean open and left me lying on the pavement.” His words were so upbeat they sounded manic. “My parents kept me on a tight schedule, so they noticed right away when I didn’t come home. It was a good thing they found me so quickly or I would have died. One of the benefits of overprotective parents.

My motor functions were really screwed up for a while, and because of that, I lost my scholarship. But I didn’t actually like track, anyway, so it was fine. My parents basically gave up on me, but in exchange, I got a really awesome physical therapist.

She was a saint and helped me through a really hard time. I even became a physical therapist because of her, so you could say that dick-waffle actually did me a favor.” He was rambling and laughing at the same time as tears dripped from his eyes. I didn’t know how to make him stop crying or calm him down, so I did the only thing I could think of.

I kissed him. It was only meant to be a brief exchange, just enough to stop him from spiraling, but once we started, I couldn’t seem to stop. Just a moment ago I had been thankful for the sling, but now I hated it. With only one functioning arm, I could pull him closer, but I couldn’t cradle the back of his head at the same time, as I so desperately wanted.

After a few moments locked together, Frankie seemed to come to his senses and pulled away. He didn’t leave the embrace of my arm, but he put distance between his mouth and mine. “What are you doing?” I couldn’t stop staring at his lips, wet with my saliva, but I forced myself to look him in the eye. “What? You can kiss me when I’m not well, but I can’t do the same?” Those lips parted in a tiny breathless gasp as Frankie gaped at me.

“You remember that?” I just nodded and watched as a bright flush illuminated his dark skin. He slapped my uninjured shoulder. “You didn’t say anything about it, so I thought you forgot.” “No. I just didn’t know what it meant.”

FBI Agent Gabe Long finds himself reluctantly assigned to keep an eye on Sebastian Roth after the detective meets with a couple of too-related-to-be- coincidental “accidents.” He isn’t too happy about having to play babysitter to a stubborn, impulsive, and relentless investigator who won’t let go of a dangerous pedophile ring case, but the man has clearly gotten himself into some hot water.

Frankie Zolnai is a skilled physical therapist known for his compassion and commitment to his patients. His warm smile and gentle demeanor create a safe space for those in need of healing. At the request of his best friend, Newt, Frankie agrees to provide PT to Sebastian after an accident leaves Sebastian injured.

Gabe and Frankie’s paths cross and as the two connect over their shared medical knowledge, and sparks fly. As the two men get to know each other, Gabe reveals things about his past very few people know. Frankie quickly becomes a person Gabe can count on to be there—a rare thing for Gabe. Gabe wasn’t looking for love, but that might just be what found him—in the most interesting of ways. Trigger Warnings: Violence, death, mentions of kidnapping, and other crimes against children. OceanofPDF.com CHAPTER 1 Frankie We’d been driving for two days, and it felt like someone had replaced my eyelids with sandpaper.

Technically, the drive should have only taken about three hours, but Gabe had been instructing me to drive in circles until I didn’t even know which direction we were headed. Based on the position of the setting sun, we seemed to be headed in a generally north direction, but I couldn’t even tell if we were still in Louisiana anymore, or if we had crossed into another state. There would be some kind of toll or at least a sign if we crossed state lines, right?

That had been the case on every road trip I’d ever taken. Surely, I would know if we were in a different state.
