Page 4 of Crushing on the Mountain Men

I could tell the two men had done this before. It crossed my mind that they were really hot. It wasn’t just looks, though they were both very attractive. They both had beards and dark sunglasses, though Creed’s hair was longer, as if he couldn’t be bothered to cut it.

Davin had more of a military cut and a darker tone to his skin.

They’d picked Andre up easily and gently. Something about their calm, capable manner was really sexy. The muscles didn’t hurt, either.

When I was getting Andre and myself set on the ATV, I heard Creed lecturing the group to get it together and sober up. He put out the fire, too, worried that the group would do something foolish.

I saw Tina give him a big hug. She’d whispered a thank you to me also, so she wasn’t happy that the party had gotten out of hand, either.

“The group is almost up here. We’ll likely pass them.”

I shook my head from those distracting thoughts, and pressed my fingers to Andre’s neck again, feeling his pulse.

I was glad that I was the one traveling with him rather than staying at the campfire, though it was nerve-wracking. By the time we had Andre packed to go, Tina had sobered up and was helping Pam clear up the site and get people ready to go.

My older brothers liked ATVs. I used to go out with them a bit in the fields near my childhood home a few hours from here. Now that I’d seen some terrible ATV accident scenes in my work in the ambulance, I was a bit more cautious.

The men gave Andre and I each a helmet, though mine was big.

The trail trip took no time at all, and soon I could see the lights of the public parking lot. Knowing where you are going really makes a difference, I thought. To my surprise, there was a helicopter waiting for us.

“I’ll drive,” Davin said. “I’ll meet you guys there.”

“Wait.” I didn’t think they could hear my faint voice. “Um?”

Creed looked at me over his shoulder and smiled. I smiled automatically in response.

He took it as agreement.

“Whoa! This is what we should have done for the bachelorette party!” I couldn’t resist saying when I got a peek at the town lights in the distance from where we lifted off the mountain.

My stomach was still on the ground, I thought, but it was worth it.

Andre’s color looked better after the rescue group got him hooked up to fluids. They’d invited me to help as we loaded him on to the bed on the side of the copter.

One of the rescue workers, Sabrina, I think her name was, helped us load Andre, then offered to ride with Davin.

I had no doubt that these two mountain men got plenty of attention. I wondered what it would be like to kiss them. Both of them. I should take Ken up on his date offers. He was more my speed. These two were straight out of a fantasy.

Then Creed smiled at me again from where he sat next to me in the copter and, of course, I smiled back.

I’d heard Xander, the pilot, ask if Creed wanted to pilot the copter.

Seriously? Was there nothing these men couldn’t do? I had a vision of them in bed with me. Shaking my head again to focus, I knew they’d be outstanding in bed, too.

At the hospital I sprang out as I usually did from the ambulance, spouting numbers and readings from the field. “I cleaned out the bite and bandaged it.”

“Good job,” Steven, the nurse, said.

I knew Steven from several shifts. He was in his 50s and was the best nurse here. I was so happy to see him I could hug him.

“I think Andre had an allergic reaction more than anything, then maybe the mild stroke.” I pulled out my phone to text an update to Pam, who’d put in her number.
