Page 12 of Sinful Seduction

“Besides letting you do it.”

Beau caught her attention.“We would never harm you, sweetheart.Your godfath—I mean, the director—would have never put you anywhere near us if he thought we’d hurt you.”

Jayla chuckled.“Oh, you’d be surprised.”She ignored their questioning looks and started rearranging her blanket.“Let’s get it over with.”

“First, I’d like to look at your ribs.”Diego rolled his eyes when she shook her head.“Jayla, this is taking so much longer than it should.Now let’s push the blanket just under your ribs, and I’ll raise...”

“No, I’ll unbutton the lower half of the shirt.”

Diego snorted, and Beau laughed.

Beau nodded.“That’ll work.”

Jayla was very careful about keeping the blanket in place as she unbuttoned two buttons.“That’s good, right?”

Diego shook his head.“You’re acting like a scared little virgin, instead of a grown woman.”

Jayla tried to chuckle and kept her eyes from Beau’s intense scrutiny.

“Now hold still.”Diego parted the fabric enough to see the bruise from the vicious kick she received.“Jesus.It’s a miracle you didn’t break anything.This bruise is massive.”

Beau looked on, handing things to Diego when he needed them.The rest of the time, he watched the expressions on Jayla’s face.He hadn’t liked her look when Diego had talked about a virgin.If he had to guess, and he didn’t want to, he’d guess she was a virgin, and if that was true, it changed things.She was almost twenty-five years old.Who’s a virgin at that age nowadays?If, no, when Diego found out, it wasn’t going to be pretty.It would be hard not to have her.Everything about her appealed to them.

Diego smiled at Jayla.“See.That wasn’t so bad.Let’s get the other one done so you can go to sleep.”

Jayla turned to the side and moved the opening in the shirt to the burn.“Can you see it?”

Beau was trying really hard not to let his anger out, but it was next to impossible to hide it.It was a relatively small burn, but to brand this little woman and mark such beautiful skin was horrific.He cleared his throat.“Yes, I can see it.Just hold it there.”

Jayla lifted her head and watched as he cleaned the burn.“See, it’s not bad.”

Diego kept his head down to hide his anger.“It’s still a third-degree burn, Jayla.It can get infected.”He had to take several deep breaths to distinguish the anger vibrating inside him.

He applied the last bit of tape and covered her.He was surprised at how plump her breasts were.He could tell without seeing the whole breast she was more than a handful, just the way he liked them.

“It’s done.”

Jayla released the silent breath she’d been holding and buttoned up her shirt.

Diego handed her a few pills and a glass of water.“You need to take these.”

She shook her head.

“It’s an antibiotic and a pain pill.”

“I’ll take the antibiotic.”

“You’ll take both,” Beau informed her.

“But...”

“Jesus, woman,” Diego bit out.“Are you going to fight us over everything?”

“I...”she said and exhaled.She did need more sleep.She held out her hand.She tossed the pills in her mouth and swallowed them down with water.“There.”

Diego rolled his eyes.

“Now, let’s get you to bed,” Beau said and bent to lift her.
