Chapter 5
Andy
As she sits in her hospital bed in just a thin cotton gown, it’s hard to focus on my job. All I did was touch her with one finger and her body language overflowed with lust. When she held her knees together, squirmed, and her nipples hardened, I almost lost my mind.
“I don’t think singing in public is a good idea.”I got private things in mind.
“Why?” Big blue eyes with black centers stare, crumbling my resolve.
“The police still want to question you.”
“Tell them I’ll come tomorrow. Please?” Her lower lip rolls, a childish petition.
How can I say no?
“Am I rehired? I don’t like being used, Sienna. If I do this for you, you can’t fire me again. Deal?”
“Deal.” She holds out her untethered hand to shake.
God help me, I take hold of her soft flesh and my cock goes hard which strengthens my resolve to keep her safe. “One more thing, you need to come clean, tell me everything you remember, and answer my questions or you’re on your own. Got it?”
“Sure. Thank you. I’m sorry. I’m ah, just not comfortable with someone else being in charge.” Her pupils still dilated, the tip of her tongue flicks over her lower lip.
Of course, with that kind of look, my mind goes into the gutter. If she’d let me, I would show her how good it could be with me in charge. She’d open her legs wide and…
Damn it. What is it about this woman? She makes testosterone flow like heroin through my veins.
Before I can deal with the uncomfortable cramming inside my jockey shorts, the young intern, Lilac, squeals outside in the hall, and gives Jack a hug.
“I didn’t know you were here.” Still beaming, she pokes her head in the room. “Good news. The doctor released Sienna. Someone will be in soon with paperwork.”
I pick up my briefcase to hide my raging lust while Lilac strides to Sienna’s bedside and pulls off the tape holding the IV needle with an efficient flip of the wrist.
“Ow!” Sienna jumps.
“Sorry. All done.” The young doctor puts a bandage over the small hole surrounded by purple and yellow flesh. “Why not use the shower? I bet, by the time you’re dressed, one of the hospital staff will be here with your paperwork. Call me if you have symptoms or for any reason at all.”
The young doctor’s eyes flash toward me, mouth turned down in a frown as she drops the side of the bed with a clunk.
Me? What did I do?
To prove what a nice guy I am, I hand Sienna a plastic bag. “As soon as the stores opened, I had one of my assistants go shopping. I hope these fit.”
Black yoga pants, a workout bra, and a matching top are pulled from the bag. “Wow. Thank you. Put this on my bill, okay?”
“Absolutely.” I give myself a high five as the doctor mutters something about making a big mistake under her breath and leaves.
Sienna pushes the blanket off with her feet, leaving her in just a short, thin hospital gown. “Can you help me out here?”
My mouth dries and my face heats but she seems not to notice as she slips out of bed.
“Whoa!”
When her legs wobble, my hands shoot to her waist and boom. Lightning must’ve struck the building because electricity zaps between us. Gently, I reach behind her, pull her gown closed, and twist her toward the bathroom and help her into the shower.
“Uh, thanks. I got it from here.” Blue orbs glance up over bright red cheeks.
“Call if you need me.” I leave the door open a crack.
