“Oh, please.” I snort. “She probably took one look at you, then you smiled and her panties were soaked.”
“Do your panties get soaked when I smile at you?”
“With the force of a tsunami. Obviously.” I tug my leggings over my butt and take the bag off the hook. “Put this through the holes.”
“Sorry. All I got from that was ‘put, this, hole.’” He grabs the bag and threads it through the armhole of the gown then my shirt.
I quirk an eyebrow. “Someone needs to get him some.”
“Someone’s waiting for someone else to get her ass better so he can.”
“Your powers of seduction know no bounds, Tyler Stone. Do I have time to change my panties?”
“Just leave them off. Forever. My life would be so much easier.”
“Oh, yes. You suffer so much trying to get inside them! How do you do it?”
“It’s a hard job, love, but persistence pays off.”
“Your persistence is why I’m knocked up and attached to a rolling bottle of water.”
He grins devilishly. “I’m a man, babe. I can’t help needing sex. It’s in my DNA.”
“Of course! I forgot the DNA strand that means you must have sex at your earliest convenience. And frequently, too.”
“Shame on you. You’ve come into contact with it plenty.”
“Please refer yourself to my earlier comment regarding your persistence.” I poke my tongue out and open the door.
He laughs. “Do you want the—”
“If you say wheelchair, I’m slicing off your balls with a butter knife.”
He laughs again and slides his hand around my waist. “Note to self: remove all sharp objects from apartment, lest those pesky hormones inadvertently put me in harm’s way.”
I giggle into my free hand. He grabs it and looks at my nails.
“Maybe we’ll clamp down on these talons too.”
I flick my hand against his chest. “You never complained about them before.”
He pokes my tummy. “Apparently.”
I bat his hand away and step into the elevator. Walking around feels so good after having been confined to the bed for basically twenty-four hours. The wheelchair outing to the ultrasound this morning doesn’t count.
The hospital is crazy. Noise is everywhere, and the amount of people walking through the hallways is almost panic inducing. Despite Ty’s arm firmly around me, it’s hard to get through them—especially with the IV. There’s nowhere to go, nowhere to move, people in front of me, behind me, closing in on me.
“Outside,” I breathe, gripping his shirt.
He steers me off to the side and out the front doors. I take a deep breath and lean against the wall.
“Are you okay?”
“Too many people,” I reply, exhaling slowly.
“What the hell are you doing out of bed?!”
Oh, shit. Hide me.
