I feel small against him. Wiggling, I try to shift away, but all I manage to achieve is rub myself against him. I can feel his cock against my back, and even though he’s not exactly hard, I’m suddenly hyper aware of how badly I want him.
It’s like all the fear and stress have morphed into pure lust.
A soft whimper escapes my lips, then anger washes over me.
I could elbow him right in his side.
But something stops me.
He saved my life. He took a bullet for me.
My body relaxes in his arms, and he senses the shift in me.
He sets the gun down on the kitchen counter right in front of me.
My eyes trace over it, but I have no desire to pick it up again.
“What did you make?” he asks, amusement teasing his voice.
“Make?”
“For lunch?”
I let out a frustrated sigh. How is he so calm all the time?
Shifting, still pinned against him, I turn around to look at him.
“Did you shower with the bandages on?” I ask.
“I took them off, then put fresh ones on after the shower.”
I nod, satisfied.
“Spaghetti,” I answer his questions.
“It’s making my stomach growl,” he whispers, “I’m very hungry.”
Except when he looks down at me, his dark eyes suggest he’s hungry for something other than food. He reaches up and traces his fingers gently over my cheek. “Did you get some sleep?” he asks quietly.
I nod, unconsciously biting my lip.
“Good. Thank you for helping me. You make a very good nurse.” His eyes glimmer with even more mischief.If he tried to kiss me now, I wouldn’t even stop him.The thought comes out of nowhere and surprises the hell out of me.
I wish my cheeks would stop burning so bright red.
Finally, Adrian steps away from me, and I breathe a sigh of relief.
“Um, are you, do you, I can dish up some food?” I blurt out, hardly making any sense.
“Did you eat yet?”
“Not yet.”
“I’ll help. We can eat in the living room by the fire. I’ll have it lit again in no time.”
I nod, biting at my lip again.
Adrian lifts his hand and gently brushes his thumb over my lower lip, and my heart races. “You look worried. You don’t have to worry about anything when I’m around, ok.”
