I forced the pain in my chest deep down. “Thanks.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“No.”
“If that changes, I hope you know you can talk to me. About anything,” she whispered.
“Thanks, baby.” I stepped closer to the bed and leaned over her. “I’m gonna kiss you now.”
Before she could protest, I settled my mouth on hers gently and cupped her cheek. She opened her lips just enough for me to slide my tongue against hers but when she whimpered, I pulled back with a frown. “Did I hurt you?”
She gripped my cut. “No, but you’re making me horny.”
I grinned, leaning down again. “Sorry, not sorry.”
I kissed her again, this time quickly, but still thoroughly enough to know I wanted more.
A lot more.

Lord on high, the mancould kiss.
“You doin’ better?” He kept hold of my hand as he sat in the chair beside my bed,
“Yeah. If I can move on my own tomorrow, they might release me into my dad’s care.”
“Move on your own, how?” Jekyll asked with a frown.
“If I can get up off the bed and use a walker or crutches without too much help, then they said I can do my physical therapy at home.”
“Seems a little soon.”
I cocked my head. “I’ve been in this room for almost a week.”
“Yeah, well, you have several issues, including a bad break that affects your ability to walk.”
“Nothing that won’t heal on their own.”
“Your leg needed surgery.”
I wrinkled my nose. “It wasn’t abadsurgery.”
“Baby, don’t minimize it.”
“I want out,” I snapped.
“I still think it’s too soon.”
“Well, lucky for me, you don’t have a say in the matter.”
“You should come back to the cabin,” he said.
“The what?”
“Our club. You’d have help—”
