“Oh, yes, you did! I just saw it!”

I did, too. I opened my mouth, the smile automatically popped out.

“I did not, and if I did, it’s because you look so cute…”

“Cute? You think I look cute on my ass at your feet?”

My switch immediately flips from humor to lust.

“Well, princess, if you were at my feet, it wouldn’t be because you were hurt, I can guarantee you that.”

Her eyes go wide as a blush creeps across her face.

I grin. It’s wicked and tells her what I’m thinking is as dirty as she thinks it is.

“Why don’t we try getting you back on your feet, then we can see about getting you down there for the right reasons,” I start to slip my hands under her arms to help her up.

She shoos me away. “I’m fine, I can do it.”

“We’ll see about that. Don’t be difficult, Summer, let me help you just to be sure.”

“Alright,” she huffs, probably only agreeing in order to shut me up.

She favors one of her legs as I help her stand. When I get her up, I release her.

“Okay, walk, let’s see how fine you are.”

I don’t step away and give her space, I just remove my hands from her body. She won’t look me in the eyes as she cautiously puts her weight on both her feet.

Tries to put her weight on both feet.

It doesn’t work.

“OW!”

She starts to go down again as I get a hold of her and she grabs on to my arms.

“That is definitely not fine, Summer.”

“Just give me a minute.” I can hear the pain in her voice.

“Take your time,” I say gently.

Her breathing is heavy as she lets the stab of pain pass.

“What hurts exactly?” I ask quietly.

“It’s my knee. I guess I twisted it when the stupid chair spun.”

“Do you have any idea how dangerous that was, standing on a chair like that?”

“I do it all the time, it’s never happened before.”

“That only means you’ve been lucky. I guess you had to learn the hard way.”

She peers up at me. Her lips are in a tight line, she’s probably biting back the words, ‘Go fuck yourself.’

I would be.
