Cowboy First Aid

By Deirdre O'Dare

EMT Tracey is down on cowboys -- they live on the road and any day can suffer a crippling or fatal accident. Burned by her trucker ex-husband’s infidelity, she feels love and a traveling life style can never mix. When she picks up Skip Horton after he’s been trampled by two horses, she can’t help but notice his great physique. Then he awakens in the ambulance and steals a kiss. She’s torn between attraction and wrath. Damn randy cowboys! Will they never quit flirting?

When her impulsive offer ends with him spending the night at her home, the attraction explodes. This cowboy, even injured, can make her feel things she’s never felt before. But won’t he be gone tomorrow? She doesn’t dare let lust overrule her common sense, much less admit her feelings could be anything deeper. But how can she help wanting more and more and more when this cowboy provides first air for her wounded heart and self-esteem?

First, this one is for a real Tracey, who loaned me her name. I hope you enjoy living this tale vicariously with your namesake. (You did volunteer!)

Second, dedicated with deep appreciation to the real EMTs and the very important work they do. You folks live a scary adventure every day and many owe their lives and survival to your skills and dedication. Probably few remember to say thank you, so for all of us, I say, Thank you! You are appreciated.

Cowboy First Aid

By Deirdre O’Dare

Tracey turned a page, willing away the distracting sounds of the rodeo. Mayhem might be in progress just across the fence in front of the ambulance’s bumper, but so what? She’d always had the ability to lose herself in a book. It had made the less-than-happy parts of childhood bearable. Since then, reading had filled many hours of waiting once she became an EMT.

A sudden change in the pitch of the crowd’s noise jerked her attention out of the latest Tony Hillerman mystery. Much as she longed to see what trouble Jim Chee would get into next, she’d probably have a job to do here real soon.

Oh, shit. Oh, sheee-iiit!

Her partner’s exclamation had her hastily marking her place before she looked up to see what was wrong. What she saw looked pretty scary. A bareback rider hung across the rump of the pickup man’s horse. The bronc he’d just left continued to buck, kicking viciously at the pickup horse. When the pickup horse, tired of taking the abuse, also began to buck, the hapless rider dropped.
