“I’m asking Jensen what it’s like up there. I’m wondering if there are a lot of patients up there in isolation, or if it’s just a small part of one floor?”
I sucked in a deep breath and closed my eyes again. “Why?”
“I’m thinking we can do a show for her?”
The shock of her words woke me up fairly well. A show? I laughed in disbelief. “Like what?”
“She’s going to be sad, so I don’t know, something to cheer her up.”
“Yeah, but you still haven’t said what kind of show. Like a puppet show?”
“It depends. If the windows are thick, she won’t hear us through the glass. That’s why I have to find out what we can get by with. If it’s a busy floor we won’t be able to, but if it’s just Remi and a couple others, maybe we can play music loud enough.”
I smiled so wide my face almost hurt. Teagan was amazing. “You’re willing to make a fool of yourself up there?” I goaded.
“No. But I’m willing to make a fool of you and Jensen.” Teagan giggled softly.
I laughed again. “From what Dr. Radar said, it could be weeks before she was feeling up to anything.”
“I know. That gives me time to whip you and Jensen into shape.”
I crossed my arms over my chest. The IV was still embedded in the top of my hand and it was a nuisance. “I see.”
“Will you have to go back to London? I mean, if it takes a full month for Remi’s new marrow to take hold, I assume you’ll have some games and tournaments coming up that Arsenal will want you back for.”
Her question was hesitant, but I could tell that she’d just been waiting for the right time to ask. I’d been in frequent contact with Coach Noonan many times since I’d been in Atlanta and while they’d been understanding, the end of the season would come soon enough, and history was cruel. A missing forward in a few important games was the very reason they’d scouted me in the first place, and it hadn’t escaped my thoughts. I hesitated to bring it up to Teagan for fear she’d think I was putting Arsenal before Remi, but long-term, I needed my career to take care of Remi. We still hadn’t discussed the logistics of making everything work, and I didn’t feel this was the right time.
“I may get in a few games if her prognosis is excellent and we’re only waiting for her to get out of isolation. Until we figure everything out, I don’t think it’s wise to burn any bridges.”
She seemed unsurprised by my answer, but I could see sadness she was not able to hide. “That’s smart.”
“I didn’t want to discuss this when my dick is almost hanging out and I’m wearing a dress,” I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
“Hmmm. I could have sworn you liked it when your dick was hanging out. Maybe I’m remembering wrong.” Her response was dry and her expression flirty.
The drugs were finally starting to wear off and I leaned forward to grab her. “Oh, sassy, are we?”
Teagan squealed loudly as I hauled her on top of me. Both of us laughed happily until I started to kiss her hungrily. My heart exploded in my chest. I loved her beyond anything, and now that I stopped fighting this thing between us, and allowing myself to believe she returned my feelings, a huge weight had been lifted and the dark cloud that had been inhabiting my heart for years was beginning to disappear. Since her confession that she and Jensen had already decided to divorce: any guilt I felt was gone.
We kissed breathlessly for a few minutes until Teagan pulled away breathlessly. “Chase, the nurses could come in any second.” Her sweet breath washed over my face deliciously.
“Maybe they’re spying on us through the crack in the curtains,” I suggested, my lips curving up against hers. “Let’s give them a show.”
She pushed gently on my chest with both hands. I covered one with mine and pulled it up to kiss the palm suggestively, using my open mouth and tongue to hint at what I really wanted to do. Teagan flushed and her hips arched into mine with a small groan. I knew the move was an involuntary response, but it didn’t matter. It felt amazing. “Chase.”
“If you don’t want my dick hanging out, why don’t you give me a place to put it?” I murmured suggestively against her mouth. Her breath rushed out and her small pink tongue reached for my top lip. “Hmmm?” I coaxed.
Her dress gave me easy access to the smooth skin of her thighs and the curve of her hip. She was wearing a thong and that only made my cock even hungrier. I pressed her hips into mine so she’d have no doubt what I wanted. There was something about the moment that was intoxicating. I didn’t even care if the whole world saw us, I felt ravenous.
“Chase,” she groaned again. “Stop. We have to stop.” She pulled back, leaning away so I couldn’t reach her mouth with mine. “Chase.” Teagan shook her head.
My hands curled hungrily into the bare flesh of her thighs in pure unadulterated frustration. “Uhhhhh,” I sucked in a deep breath and sat back. “What do you expect? Bare legs, short dress… lace fucking thong? I’m not made of stone.”
She offered a sexy smile as she climbed off of my lap and moved to the chair. She reached forward and wrapped a hand fully around my erection. “Are you sure? Feels like it to me.”
I shot her a wry look. “Now who needs to stop? You’re going to leave me in pain.”
“You seemed to forget about your pain for a second there. The pain meds must be working.”
