“What? Why?! Do you think it was a poisonous one?” My voice goes small.
Tiero doesn’t reply. I guess that’s answer enough.
By now, five burly guards are surrounding us, and they’re all staring down at me… with my dress up around my hips.
Great! Just great.
“It’s too dark to see the bite mark,” Tiero mumbles, and immediately an ever so helpful goon shines a torch right at me.
Momentarily blinded by the bright light, I see nothing. When my vision returns, I spot an angry red mark in my right groin area, and it’s rapidly swelling.
Holy crap!
Is this the day when my animal sitting proves fatal?
I’m certain I’m going to faint. If not from embarrassment that six testosterone laden men are seeing the small scrap of lace covering my privates, then from the poison that’s surely spreading through my veins.
One guard is on the phone already, presumably to the doctor.
Oh my God. This reallyisserious.
Bright spots explode in my vision like twinkling stars at night.
Oh God. Oh God. Oh God.
What if I don’t make it before the doctor arrives?
I’m beginning to feel weak, my limbs tingling… is this real or just my fear? I wish I knew.
Tiero hoists me into his muscular arms and carries me to the car, carefully sliding into the backseat with me on his lap.
“Fretta!” Tiero instructs. “Hurry, drive! Ella’s hotel.”
Oh shit. Why aren’t we going to the hospital?
And where is this doctor? Is he coming to the hotel?
My body is trembling, and my breathing shallow. I need to calm the heck down, but it’s no use.
If the spider bite wasn’t the cause for my hyperventilating, it sure as hell would be sitting on Tiero’s lap. It’s the closest we’ve been, and I’m on fire.
His warmth envelops me, his scent infiltrating my senses, and to top it all off, his hand comfortingly rubs my back, but it’s anything but soothing. It makes my body fire on all cylinders… or maybe that’s the poison?
I need some space.
Pushing against his chest, I try to slide onto the seat next to him, but he tightens his hold, not willing to let go of me.
“Everything is going to be all right, princess. I’ll make sure of it,” he whispers into my ear.
I let out a sigh, wishing I could believe him. The pain in my groin is getting worse and I’m burning up inside from having him near.
I guess if I have to die tonight, at least it’s in the arms of a hot as hell hunk.
Now that’s Opposite Ella!
Giving up resisting him, I rest my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat in the hope its steady rhythm will help me relax. But it’s racing too, betraying his outer, calm façade.
Wow, he actually cares.
