Nicole’s POV

There is an awkward silence for a moment. I try to speak, but nothing comes out.

His words keep lingering like a heavy weight on my chest.

Why does it feel like this? Why does wanting him have to feel so wrong?

My throat is dry as I look at him. I want to tell him how much I care, how every day for the past three months I wished I could see him again. But I can’t. Because caring about Alex means stepping into a world I’m not ready for.

It hurts. It hurts so much.

“Nicole.” Alex says, his voice soft like he's yearning for something. His eyes still fixated on mine, trying to maintain eye contact with me. “You don’t have to be afraid. Not of me. Not of losing this job. I’d never take that away from you.”

I let out a shaky breath. “I'm sure you'll find that easy to say now. But what if one day you wake up and decide you don’t want me here anymore? What if you get tired of me?”

His jaw tightens, his hands clench into fists. There is a change in his facial expression, bu

  • The Biker's Private Nurse    Chapter 11

    Nicole’s POVMy cheek still stings from the slap, my hand pressed firmly against it. I remain still trying to process everything, as tears roll down my cheek blurring my vision.God, the only reason why my hand is not on her face is because I'm here as Alex's nurse. Is this how it's going to be? Always looking over my shoulder. I want to talk back but Megan is always walking away.Suddenly, a voice slices through the air behind me.“What the hell is going on here?”My heart races fast as I turn around. It’s David.I turn back around quickly, I don't want him to see me this way like a little girl that needs saving. Megan, who is almost halfway across the stairs, stops abruptly.He finally reaches me, his hands locking around my arms—not too tight, but firm enough to keep me in place.He smells faintly of leather and cedarwood, a warm, steady scent that clings to him. His bright blue eyes are fixated on me as he moves closer to me.“Are you okay, Nicole?” I remain silent, too stunned

  • The Biker's Private Nurse    Chapter 10

    Nicole’s POVThe morning light seeps through the curtains, brushing over my face and pulling me out of sleep. For a moment, I remain on my bed, eyes closed, smiling. But it's not the warmth of my bed that makes me smile… it’s the memory of last night.My lips tingle as if his kiss is still there. I run my thumb across my lips, imagining it like it is still happening. I promised myself I won't be involved with him, and yet, when his mouth found mine, every wall I had built crumbled.I should feel guilty. I should feel terrified. But right now? I just feel… happy. My body can’t decide whether to float or collapse into the sheets.I sink my face into the pillow, screaming at the top of my lungs. I just broke one of the 4Ps. I'm screwed if my supervisor finds out.I roll back onto my side, staring at the ceiling, and whisper to myself, “What are you doing, Nicole?” Because I don’t know. I don’t know what comes next.A knock at the door breaks through my thoughts. I sit up quickly, adjusti

  • The Biker's Private Nurse    Chapter 8

    Nicole’s POVI lie awake in my bed, replaying my conversation with Alex over and over again.Why does it hurt so much? I didn't stop thinking about him. I even visited the hotel where we met on several occasions, hoping one day we would meet again.But why did we have to meet this way? I want him so badly it makes me want to cry. But I can’t. I have to focus on the reason I’m here.A loud knock on the door wrenches me back to the present.I hurry to the door and swing it open. It’s Clara.“Mr. Thorne is ready for you. He’s expecting you,” she says, forcing a smile.I don’t think she likes me.Every encounter I’ve had with her is proof enough.“I’ll be down in thirty minutes.”Closing the door, I rush to the bathroom. Five minutes later, I’m done.I put on a black T-shirt and blue jeans that bring out the shape of my butt. It’s not like I have to wear scrubs every day.As I descend the stairs, I see David. It feels like he’s been waiting for me.“You look different,” he says, giving me

  • The Biker's Private Nurse    Chapter 7

    Alex’s POVI watch Nicole through the library window as she walks across the garden path, her shoulders tense even from this distance. Like she hasn’t slept all night.I didn’t sleep either.I didn’t think either of us could after yesterday.Her words are still sharp in my head, cutting as clean as the moment she said them: I can’t trust you. The look in her eyes like she was afraid of me, still stings.The library door swings open. It’s Clara.“Sir, Miss Williams is ready for your morning session.”“Send her to the library,” I say, my eyes never leaving Nicole’s figure. “And Clara…close the door when she arrives.”I need to tell her. About the accident. About what put me in this chair. About the world I live in. She deserves to know what she’s up against, even if it terrifies her.Especially if it terrifies her.The door opens and Nicole steps inside, her medical bag clutched tight like armor. Her hair is pulled back into a messy bun, and her face looks pale, shadows under her eyes b

  • The Biker's Private Nurse    Chapter 6

    Nicole's POV I freeze. The blood pressure cuff slips from my fingers and hits the floor with a soft thud.Alex's words hit me hard like a blow to the face. My heart pounds so fast, I'm sure he can hear it."I…I don't know what you mean," I struggle to speak."Nicole." The way he says my name makes my chest tighten. Like he's so sure. Like he's been waiting for this moment since I walked through his door.I take my time to pick up the cuff, trying to buy myself time to come up with an excuse.I get up, but he's still watching me with those dark blue eyes that see too much."That night at the Meridian Hotel," he says quietly. "Three months ago. You wore a green dress. You laughed when I spilled wine on my shirt during dinner."The memory hit me like a wave. I'd gone there to celebrate finishing nursing school. I remember the way he looked at me across the crowded room. How we'd talked until the bar closed, then went up to his room.I still remember his touch, the way his scent clung to
