“Oh. Somehow I thought you might be going to say something else.”
Ian was muttering under his breath at this stage.
“Like what?”
Oh, his innocent little subbie. He had to rein in his response.
Damn, he couldn’t remember the last time he’d had this much fun.
Careful . . . you’re not part of their relationship anymore. And she isn’t your sub.
He cleared his throat. “How are you doing on a scale of one to five, Maggie?”
Time to bring things back to where they should be.
“I . . . I’m all right.”
“That wasn’t what I was asking. Scale of one to five? You’re doing so well, sweetheart.”
“I . . . I guess I’m a three.”
“Let’s see if we can get that down to a two. What’s your favorite thing to do?” Jameson asked.
“Oh, um. I don’t know. I don’t really have any hobbies. Well, I guess I like to read.”
“That’s right. Medical romances.”
“Sometimes,” she said shyly. “I like other romances too.”
“But I’m sure medical is the best.”
Amy cleared her throat.
Right. He had an audience.
Once the scan was done, it felt like a huge weight was off his shoulders. He jumped up to go help her get down, ignoring Amy’s amusement.
Jameson lifted her into the wheelchair.
“I can get in myself,” she whispered.
“But I like helping you.” More like he enjoyed touching her.
He tucked the blanket back around her legs and then took hold of her hands. Ian was still in the other room talking to Amy, so they had a minute to themselves.
“I’m so proud of you, Shortcake. You were so brave and did such a good job.”
“Really? The technician didn’t think it weird that I had Ziggy with me?” She tucked the zebra under the blanket.
“Hey, no.” He risked cupping her cheek with his hand. She had the softest skin.
This wasn’t right. She wasn’t his. And Ian was just in the next room.
“No one here cares whether you need a toy with you. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Ready to get out of the hospital gown?” Ian walked into the room and Jameson stood, feeling awkward.
Ian wheeled her away to get dressed while Jameson looked over the scan. He also had her other results sent to him.
