Bromberg's Everyday Heroes World and part of her Born To Fight Heroes For Hire series. He was the high school jock with a 100 mph fastball.
All the girls followed him around like puppies.
It was embarrassing.
 
But to me, he was nothing more than a big bully.
Calling me names, like "Juicy."
I hated that name.
 
Everyone expected him to go pro, but he joined the Navy instead.
He wanted to be a SEAL.
 
On the day before he left, he came back to school.
I was with my best friend, flirting with another guy.
 
The look on their faces told me who was behind me.
Next thing I know, I'm pinned against the lockers.
Then I'm kissed.
 
It was earth-shattering! Mind-blowing! Toe-curling!
I melted completed in his arms.
 
But when it ended, he walked away without a word.
I was claimed and I was humiliated.
My torture by him was complete.
 
For six years, I've fought the rumors that I was his girl.
The only one I convinced that I wasn't ... was my reflection in the mirror.
 
Now, I hear he's back. But it's worse than that.
My boss, Sidney Malone, has assigned the article on Everyday Heroes to me.
Guess who I'm to feature?
 
All the old emotions surface, confusing me all over again.
He bullied me. Yet, he kissed me.
I hated him. Yet, I can't forget him.
 
 WHEN SHE boards the rescue helicopter, I can't believe how beautiful she is.
Then she grabs my crotch, holding on for dear life, giving me one helluva boner.
She is too terrified to let go.
 
When we land, she turns to apologize.
And I lift the face shield greeting her with a grin.
 
Immediately, she recognizes my mouth.
 
"Sup, Juicy?"* * * * * * *
