Tanner:A Black Widow MC Romance(8)

I sighed and shrugged. “I'll go get more then.”



“Thank you, Doctor.”



“I'll check in on you again, George,” I said, winking at him.



He smacked his lips.“I'll be waiting patiently for your return, Angel.”



I laughed and left the room. I actually liked when old men hit on me. It was just harmless flirting. Not like it was with Tanner. I could see the hunger in his eyes. Did I have that same desire in my own?



I went down the elevator and to the locked pharmacy. Only doctors had a key ever since a patient stole a ton of painkillers and Od'd in the hospital. The resulting lawsuit made the board change the way drugs were stored and now nurses bugged me every time we ran out of something.



I pulled out my keychain with a million keys on it. The one for the pharmacy had a little purple sticker on it to identify it from the others. I opened the locked cage and entered the dark room. My hand felt around for the light switch and flipped it. Rows of shelves were lined up containing every drug known to man. I went to the aisle of painkillers that were locked again in a cage. For some reason the bright minds upstairs thought it would be genius to have them behind bars twice with the same key. If somebody could get through the first lock, they could easily get through the second. I opened it and grabbed a few bottles of Codeine.



“Nice night for drugs,” a dark voice announced from behind me. My heart spiked and I dropped all the bottles of Codeine to the floor. I turned my head to find Dr. Green looming.



“You scared the crap out of me,” I yelled at him.



The doctor grinned. “I didn't mean to.” He bent down and began collecting the fallen drugs.



How could I escape this encounter unscathed? “What are you doing in here?” I asked, waiting nervously for him to hand over the bottles to me. My heart was pounding in my throat.



Dr. Green stood up and shuffled the bottles around in his hands. “Same thing you are Grace—needed to get some drugs.”



I snatched the Codeine from his hands. “Well next time please don't sneak up on me.”



Green put his arms up to both sides of my head, keeping me in place. His bad cologne made me nauseous. His eyes blankly stared into mine. “We'd be really good together, Grace.”



“I already told you that I wasn't interested. Now let me go.” I tried to escape past his arms but he knocked me back against the shelf. My pulse was pounding in my ears now. How was I going to get out of this?



“I love it when you play hard to get. Your not like most women, Grace. Most women would already have their legs spread wide open for me, wet and ready to go. But you keep yours clenched closed, not allowing anyone to get close.” His hand brushed against the side of my face and my stomach overturned. “It's time you finally give me what I deserve.”



Oh fuck! I needed to do something right now before it was too late. I cursed myself for not taking those self-defense classes the hospital offered. But I knew the basics. I raised my knee to his groin as hard and fast as I could. Doctor Green's face twisted as he doubled over with his hands in his crotch. I ran to the door and realized that it was closed. Did he lock it? I pulled my keys out searched for the purple sticker.



“You're not going to get away from me you bitch!” he yelled from far away. His voice sent shivers down my spine. The keys shook in my hands as I tried to find the right one. Come on! Where is it? I could hear the doctor running towards me. I found the purple key and shoved it in the lock. The door clicked open...but it was too late.



Doctor Green shoved me against the steel cage door and we both bounced back and fell onto the ground. I tried to wrestle him off but he was too strong. His eyes were on fire and he held my wrists against the cold cement floor.



“I'll show you what a real man is,” he said, licking my cheek. I screamed as loud as I could but Dr. Green just laughed at me. “Nobody is going to hear you down here.”



A voice behind Dr. Green boomed. “Get your fucking hands off her.” It wasn't a request but an order. Dr. Green looked behind him and let me go. I looked past Green to see Tanner standing in the doorway, barely able to hold himself up. What was he doing down here?



“You better turn around and forget you saw any of this,” Doctor Green hissed.



“Are you okay, Doctor Holmes?” Tanner asked me, ignoring the threat.



My eyes were filled with terror but I was able to nod.



Tanner clenched his fist and threw an uppercut, knocking Green's head back and sending him crashing to ground. Tanner immediately groaned and held his side as he collapsed. I picked myself off the floor and ran to Tanner, side-stepping an unconscious Dr. Green.
