“You might be.” I’m in absolute agony.
“Honestly.” She throws up her hands. “I’ll be right back.”
“How about one last kiss before you go?” I offer her a smile and she stomps back towards me.
“Please, can we never say those words again?” She sniffles and I want to throw myself out of bed and wrap her in my arms. I can’t and it irritates the fuck out of me.
“Never again.”
She bends and gives me another kiss, but this time, despite the searing pain, I grab the back of her head and deepen it.
“I love you,” I whisper against her lips, closing my eyes as she rests her forehead against mine.
“And I love you.”

The next fewdays go by in a blur of deep sleeping, to the point I might as well be waking up in an alternative universe and snuggling with Rosa.
She hasn’t left my side. My perfect little nurse.
But today is the day I put into place the plans for our future.
Frankie has been busy rounding up our men, waiting for Romano to touch back down in New York.
The war isn’t over quite yet. But my fight is.
Dread pits in my stomach. I’m meeting Grayson and Keller in the office in ten minutes. Deep down, they knew this was coming.
“Rosa, baby.”
Her hand brushes down my chest, she stops when she touches my bandages, I wince in response. They might be healing well, but it hurts.
“Could you give me a hand getting dressed?”
I pull back the cover to reveal her naked form pressed against my side and groan, contemplating if I can postpone the meeting another five minutes so I can have her sit on my face.
She pushes herself up, her tits now lined up with my lips, so I lean forward and take one of her rosy buds in my mouth.
“I thought you wanted to get dressed?” She tries to suppress the need in her voice, but she can’t.
“I do, maybe just after breakfast?” I flash her my best smile.
“You go and do your thing, then you can have me for the rest of the day. How’s that?”
“Hmm.” I tap my chin, pretending to debate my decision.
“There is no ‘hmm’ about it.” She backs away from me with a grin, knowing I can’t chase her right now.
“Try that when I’ve recovered, Rosa. You won’t be able to get rid of me.”
“Good.” She winks and throws on one of my black tops that hangs on her like a dress.
“Do you have to wear one of mine? It’s not fair when I can’t rip it back off you.”
She rolls her eyes and grabs my gray sweatpants and a t-shirt to match hers.
She holds her hand out to me to pull me up. She carefully puts on my t-shirt. As she pulls the top over my chest, I snatch her wrist and look up at her.
