Her breathing sounded a bit shaky. “I haven’t . . . I haven’t slept with . . . anyone . . .”
Shit. Fuck.
“I’ll move a chair over and sit by your bed,” he told her.
She stiffened and shook her head. “No.”
“You want me to sleep like this with you?”
“I might freak out . . . but I also don’t want you to let me go. I’m sorry, I know I’m making no sense.”
“Shh.” He grabbed the comforter and drew it around her. “Now, go to sleep.”
“So fossy.”
“Yes, I am. Now, do as you’re told.”
A soft snore greeted him and he relaxed. Yeah, he wouldn’t be getting much sleep tonight. But it didn’t matter. Not if he got to hold her.
If he had his way, he wouldn’t let go of her ever again.

“Stop sulking,” Hack told her. “It’s all over now.”
“I’m not sulking.” Greer glared over at him as he drove them away from his clinic in Sav’s SUV since he’d only had his bike at her place. “I’m mad.”
“Uh-huh. Well, your mad face looks a lot like a sulking face.”
“You stuck a needle in me. The x-ray was bad enough, but you didn’t tell me you were going to be sucking my blood.”
“I didn’t suck your blood. The needle did. And I didn’t know I was going to until you told me that you hadn’t seen a doctor for a check-up in over five years.”
She squirmed in her seat. Yeah, Hack hadn’t been impressed about that. If looks were spankings . . . she wouldn’t be sitting right now.
“Do I still get my treat?” she asked in a quietly.
“I’m not sure. You did try to run away from me. That was naughty.”
She bit her lip. Yeah. It had been. Unfortunately, she’d run right into his desk and stubbed her toe.
Seemed her bad luck had followed her all the way to Montana.
At least the x-ray hadn’t shown a break. It was barely even swollen this morning. However, it was still a bit sore. He’d insisted on putting it in a sling for today at least, so she didn’t bang it.
Probably a wise decision.
Although, it made going to the bathroom awfully difficult. Hack had offered to help her, but she still had a modicum of dignity left.
Not a lot, but a little bit.
She couldn’t believe she’d made him sleep with her on his lap. When she’d woken up, she’d been so embarrassed, she’d barely been able to look him in the face.
No way was she going to start letting him help her pee.
Not happening.
She sighed sadly.
