“No, sir.”
Fuck she was going to be the death of me. If she didn’t stop, I’d end up with a severe case of blue balls. My hope is that Declan and I got relieved at the some time so we could fuck the frustrations away, because if I didn’t get off soon, I might have to resort to jerking off in the fucking bathroom.
Then she ripped control from me with one shy, mischievous question.
“But you’ll make me suffer in the feel good ways, right?”
Instant hard on. Didn’t matter that I stood in the middle of a hospital hallway
Cameron’s face came into view. “Hey, Hayden. How is everyone?”
“Hayden? Like big, bad ass, Marine Daddy Hayden. That Hayden?”The guy’s voice came through the earbud in my ear like he yelled through a megaphone.
“Boy, you need to quit fucking eavesdropping on other people’s conversations.”
Fuck. Who knew Priest harbored Daddy vibes? The thought of it was hella sexy even if he wasn’t my type. Then again, I would’ve sworn he and Cameron were together, and Cameron didn’t give off submissive vibes at all.
“I wasn’t eavesdropping. They’re sitting on the patio talking to someone on a video call. That’s not eavesdropping.”
“Boy.”
They kept at it, but I answered over top of them. “I’ll let Marcie fill you in, but I don’t think we’re gonna be there tomorrow. Probably not for a few days at least.”
An adorable pout overtook Marcie’s face. Same for me, colibrí. I wasn’t happy about it either.
Katie’s doctor and nurse, walking toward me, grabbed my attention, so I ended the call. “I gotta go. Katie’s doctor is on his way. I’ll call back as soon as I can.”
Everyone said bye, except Priest and the guy I assumed was Gavin. They were arguing in the background. I didn’t know why he was at the rental since his team was supposed to be heading out of town, but what the fuck did I know. This day felt like twelve days rolled into one. I could be mixing up some of the logistics Marcie had prattled on about over the phone the last few days.
Then I realized I’d completely forgotten to ask after her dad. I pulled open our group text and sent a message.
Hayden
I forgot to ask how is your dad?
Then I messaged Declan.
Hayden
Katie is awake. Still waiting for an explanation. Are you okay? Is Jackson?
Marcie texted back, and I flipped back that conversation.
Marcie
He’s doing better every day.
When the doctor spoke, I tucked my phone away.
“Her scans look okay, but with the severity of the injury, I’m going to admit her for observation.”
The nurse responded, “I’ll work on getting all that taken care of and see about getting her transferred upstairs, Dr. James.”
“Thanks, Riley.”
I walked into Katie’s room, letting the door close behind me.
“I just heard the doctor say they are going to admit you. Thought I’d let you know.”
