“And now we do,” I added.
“Yeah, baby.”
“Why do I feel like there’s more?”
“Do you remember anything while we rescued you?”
I shook my head. “No.”
“What about before the accident?”
This sounded ominous. “What about it?”
“Anything not feel right?”
Hmmm. “Well, my brake lines didn’t want to work right before I crashed.” I sucked in a breath. “Are you saying it wasn’t an accident?” Shit.
“Yeah, baby. I am.”
I should have connected the dots. The guys were shot. That meant bullets. Enemies. Danger.
“Who shot at us?”
“Don’t know, but we’ll figure it out.”
“But, we’re safe. Hidden. No one can get to us. Right?”
“Yeah. We’re safe.”
My eyes closed as my vision turned blurry, and my headache suddenly got worse. “I feel like shit.”
“Rest. One of us will stay with you. We’re trading off.”
That was almost kinky. “So sleepy,” I murmured as the pain behind my lids forced me to burrow down in the blankets and try to tune everything out.
“We got you, princess. Promise.”
The next time I opened my eyes, I didn’t see Diesel. Revenant sat beside my bed, watching me sleep. Creepy, but also sweet. “Hey,” I greeted him.
“Hey, Ball Buster.”
Ball Buster. Wait. B. B. His nickname for me. “You’re an ass.”
He laughed, wincing as he pressed a hand to his shoulder. “Thought it was time I let you in on our secret.”
“It’s always been your secret,” I pointed out.
“No, ours. Never said it around anyone else. Never told anyone. It’s just between me and you, baby.”
Damn. When he said it like that, I almost forgot I was mad at him, Diesel, and Void.
“How are you feeling? Head hurt?”
A little. “Mostly achy all over.” My bladder decided to remind me that I hadn’t relieved it since before the crash. “And I need to pee.”
He snickered. “Need help to the bathroom?”
“Unfortunately, yes.”
