“I swear on my love of pizza and glitter cannons that I will give you my full and undivided attention. And if I do not, then I will never touch pizza or glitter again.”
“Okay, I mean, swearing to never touch pizza or glitter again is pretty impressive.”
“I thought so.”
After dishing out the food, he carried the plates over to where she lay on the bed. “How about we eat first, then we’ll see if my medicine bag has anything magical that will make you feel better?”
“All right. This is going to be awkward to eat, though.”
“I’ll help you.”
She slid up onto her elbows and grabbed a chip. He cut her burger into pieces and held a quarter up to her mouth.
She gaped at him. “Umm.”
“Open wide, or do you need a choo-choo train?”

Holy. Hell.
Was he joking? Somehow, she didn’t think he was.
Did Aidan realize when he sent him to her that Hack happened to be her every fantasy brought to life?
Like . . . he could have been made especially for her. That’s how amazing he was. From the way he laid down firm rules to keep her safe, to how he took care of her . . . fussing over her even when she wasn’t that badly injured.
That was something she lapped up like an attention-starved puppy.
Hmm . . . were puppies ever attention-starved? And maybe it wasn’t just attention she wanted . . . she seemed to be touch-starved too. Which was slightly terrifying.
“Open up, Sweet Potato. Choo-choo, here comes the train.”
“I don’t need the choo-choo noises,” she protested.
“Really? Are you sure? Because I make excellent choo-choo noises. The best you’ve ever heard. Do you really want to deprive yourself?”
She swallowed. “Okay, maybe I like the choo-choo noises.”
“Good girl.”
She was definitely in heaven.
“Have you drunk any water lately? Where did your water bottle go?” He found it by the bed. “Ahh, here it is.”
She could feel her cheeks growing even warmer as he held her bottle out to her.
“Take a few sips. Just get the head inside you . . . I, uh . . . um . . .”
She coughed, the water she’d just drunk flying out of her mouth as she half-choked.
Oh. Shit.
She stared at him in disbelief. Had he just said that? And had she just spat water all over his face?
Dear. Lord.
“I am so sorry.”
