“You will do nothing of the sort,” Temel interrupted. “She has no intention of assisting you.”
Why was he being so grumpy?
“Because I was out of my mind with worry,” he snapped. “And when I finally found you, you were alone and in pain. All because of a foolish desire to help.”
“Did I say that out loud?”
“The anesthesia has a tendency to remove the filters a person usually employs.” Drakkar flashed her a quick, slightly frightening smile and picked up a compact medical bag. “If she develops a fever that lasts for more than twenty-four hours, or if redness spreads up her leg from the wounded area, contact me.”
He vanished through the door before she could thank him. As her gaze returned to Temel, she finally realized she was in his bedroom.
“I’m in your bedroom.”
“Our bedroom, and yes.”
He was still frowning and she sighed.
“But I thought you didn’t want anyone to know.”
His eyes closed for a brief moment.
“Can you forgive me for my stupidity? I was an idiot.”
“Yes, you were.”
He gave her a surprised look, then grinned.
“Drakkar was right, no filters. Although I still do not like that male.”
“Why ever not?”
“I did not like his hands on you,” he growled.
This new jealous side of Temel was surprisingly satisfying, but she shook her finger at him.
“He’s a doctor.”
He made a disgusted expression before his face softened and he picked up her hand.
“Canyou forgive me for being such a fool?”
“Yes. I should have listened to you. But you should have listened to me too.”
“I know.”
He kissed the back of her hand, sending an unexpected streak of excitement shooting through her body.
“That feels nice,” she murmured dreamily. “You can kiss me other places too.”
“Do not tempt me, my sweet. That will have to wait until your ankle has recovered.”
She pouted at him and he laughed, then bent towards her. His lips had just brushed hers when a small tornado came racing into the room.
“Mama! Are you better now?”
Temel caught hold of Tommy before he could fling himself over her ankle and put him down next to her instead.
“We was worried. We waited and waited and waited for you to come home.”
