“Wonderful.” I grin at her. “I’m in love.”
“I bet.” She smiles softly as she checks out my hottie. I don’t blame her. He’s to die for. I love watching him too. She probably knows who he is as well and can’t believe that he’s here. With me. It doesn’t make sense. But I don’t care. It’s like I’ve won the lottery.
“She needs to rest,” she says pointedly.
His face clouds and his hand tightens on mine. “I’m not leaving.”
My stomach fills with butterflies. Best night of my life. Best dream of my life. Either way, I hope it never ends.
“Fine.” The nurse backs down. “But you’re not to exhaust her. Your wife needs her rest so she can heal. And you are going to step out while I check her over.”
Did she just…? His wife? Am I married to Rogue Maddox, the most gorgeous man on the planet? Holy wow!
Hottie husband grumbles as he stands, rubs a hand over his face like he’s trying to wake himself up. “I’m going to get a cup of coffee and let everyone know you’re okay. But I’ll be back in just a few minutes. I’m not leaving your side. I won’t leave you alone. I promise.”
My gaze follows his wide shoulders as he crosses the room and disappears from my sight. I’ve never seen any man as devastatingly handsome as he is. And he is all mine? I am so lucky.
“He’s even better looking up close, isn’t he?” my nurse muses when I turn to find her watching the empty doorway too.
“That butt is a work of art.” I yawn into my hand.
“You are an incredibly lucky girl.” She checks my temperature.
“Oh, I know.” I lift my head up and whisper, “That’s my husband.”
“If he hadn’t found you when he did.” The nurse looks at me like I deserve all the sympathy in the world. “Can you wiggle your fingers for me?”
It takes every ounce of concentration to do what she asks.If he hadn’t found me then… what?
“Any tingling or pins and needles?”
I shake my head, then say, “Maybe a little.”
“Okay.” She adds something to her notes. “Are you in pain?”
“No. I don’t think so.”
“I suspect it will be a little while before you feel it,” she says. “The psychiatrist will be in to move you to the psyche ward as soon as we’re certain you’re stable. You lost a lot of blood. But in the meantime, you should rest.”
“Psychiatrist?” A lot of blood? What happened to me? What am I missing?
The nurse frowns as she glances at me again. “Do you know why you’re here?”
“I…” My wrists are bandaged and I had surgery and–I check the doorway as though Rogue Maddox might re-appear there–and now the nurse is telling me I’ll be seen by the psychiatrist. “My wrists…?”
“That’s… correct,” she says as I lay back down. “I’ll let your hubby back in now for a few minutes if you’d like.”
It’s like a fantasy come true. Rogue Maddox and I… we’re together? He’s… “My hubby?”
“Rogue Maddox. He’s so concerned about you,” she gushes. “Between you and me, I think he might have bribed someone to get back here. You shouldn’t actually have any visitors yet.”
“Oh my God, are you serious? Rogue Maddox is truly coming back? Wow. I can’t believe it.”
“What?” She narrows her gaze at me.
“I thought I was dreaming.” I giggle. “He’s so cute.”
“He’s your husband.”
