Racy Nights 9

Awakening Her Racy Passion

Ria Rodriguez wants to mend her gossipy ways, make up with former BFF, Marisol, and heal the rift she caused in the Racy, Indiana, BDSM community last summer. Sexy twin Doms, Wyatt and Trent Rohan, are more than willing to help her do that. But Ria’s romance with both Doms is complicated by a murder she witnesses. The mystery goes deeper than anyone in Racy first imagined.

Paramedic Trent Rohan is drawn to Ria’s impulsive behavior, but can he escape the heartbreak in his past and learn to love again? And can he share her with his twin?

Wyatt Rohan has been married to his job as a public defender. Ria is the first woman who has crawled under his skin and this far into his heart. Can he allow himself to love her? Or will she get tired of waiting and choose his twin, instead?

Chapter One

Ria Rodriguez had been working in Luke’s Bar for almost a year, and this was the first time she’d had to call 911. Her fingers trembled as she clutched the phone and told the dispatcher that Gerry Homer was lying in the alley behind the bar with blood gushing out of his abdomen. She made the call inside, and when her older brother, Luke, heard what had happened, he sprinted over to the table where Karen McCall, an ER nurse at Memorial Hospital, was having drinks with friends.

Ria followed Karen and Luke out of the bar and into the alley as the wail of sirens split the cold January night. Gerry was a local who drifted in and out of everyone’s lives in Racy, Indiana. He’d worked in a few local businesses from time to time, but mostly did odd jobs for people and lived off their handouts. Ria didn’t understand why anyone would want to stab him. He did no harm to anyone.

Karen glanced at her. “Get me a dishtowel or anything I can hold over this wound. We have to stop the bleeding.”

Ria ran back inside and pulled three dishtowels out of the drawer, then she crossed the alley and knelt next to Karen. As she handed Karen a dishtowel to place over the wound, Ria tried not to gag at the smell of blood. Even without medical training she could see that this was a bad wound. The towel was already turning red. “Is he going to be okay?”

Karen’s face was filled with concern. “I don’t know. That depends on what was hit.” Ria had never seen anyone with a heavily bleeding wound in their abdomen before. Karen changed towels, tossing the bloody one away from the body.

Ria tried not to stare at it. “What else can I do to help?”

“You did the best thing possible. You called it in.” Coming from Karen, that was high praise indeed. She was a former Army nurse who had served in Afghanistan, and was well known to all Racy residents as a tough cookie, but the best nurse any of them had ever encountered.

Luke stood over them. “Is he going to be all right?

Ria glanced up at her brother. “She doesn’t know yet. I can wait out here for the ambulance if you want to get back inside and let your customers know what’s going on.” Luke had owned this bar for years. This was its second location, and he’d only been here on Riverside Drive for seven months, after a tornado had destroyed the original location on Market Street last May.

He gave her a curious look. “That’s a nice offer, but I’ll stay here. If I tell them what happened, we’ll have everyone outside. Are you okay? You look a little green.”

“I’m fine.” No one who knew her would think of her as a strong or brave person, but she wasn’t leaving Gerry’s side. She hoped they caught the bastard who’d done this, and soon.

The scream of sirens was loud now. “Here comes the cavalry,” said Luke. He sprinted toward the end of the alley while Karen switched towels one more time. As the ambulance navigated into the alley, Ria stood and moved away from the body so that she wasn’t in the way.

The paramedics emerged, and Ria swallowed hard when she saw Trent Rohan. The man and his identical twin, Wyatt, were the two most gorgeous men in Racy, at least as far as Ria was concerned. She’d exchanged all of ten words, if even that, with both men her entire life, but that hadn’t stopped her from fantasizing about them.

Wyatt was a public defender who worked with Ria’s friend Bonnie Kowalski, and Trent had returned to Racy about six weeks ago, along with a new scar under his left eye that hadn’t been there before he’d left. Ria had been trying to find out why he hadn’t been living in Racy for the past few years, but Bonnie said Wyatt was being very secretive about it.

Trent gave her a long look, and Ria’s heart nearly stopped. Both he and his twin had dark hair and piercing blue eyes. In this light, Trent’s eyes almost looked silver. “You okay?”

She nodded then watched him kneel next to Karen. “What do we have?”

“Deep stab wound to the right upper quadrant. From the amount of blood I’ve sopped up, I’d say he has a bad liver lac or his hepatic vein was hit.” They both glanced up at Ria. “Did you actually see him stabbed?” asked Karen.

Ria nodded. “Yes, but I didn’t see the man’s face. He stabbed Gerry and then ran toward the river.”

“Did you see the weapon?” asked Trent.

Ria shook her head. “No. Gerry made a strangled sound and then he fell.”

“Did this man see you?” Trent’s voice was full of concern.

“I don’t believe so, but it happened too fast for me to be sure about that.”

Trent nodded a few times, and then Ria watched as he and the other paramedic, whose name escaped her right now, started an IV and did other things that she’d only seen on TV shows. Karen helped as well, and their calm and skillful movements amazed Ria. Would she be that methodical and controlled in the face of such an emergency?

By the time a police cruiser pulled into the alley, her stomach felt queasy and she was sure she was going to cry. She hoped Gerry didn’t die. This town had seen enough tragedy in the past year, and Gerry hadn’t done anything to deserve this.
