“Would you come back here?” he asked me.
“To be your nurse?”
“Yes.”
“What about Doreen?”
“I want you.”
Whew, this was tempting. “I’m not sure Uncle Neil will allow me to.”
He chuckled. “Carmichael will do what I say.”
This was a bad idea.
“Please, Shiloh.”
Oh good Lord, how was a woman supposed to deal with this? It wasn’t fair. I was trying to be smart and make good choices. Gage Presley was not a good choice. But in the two years since my life had basically begun, he was the only person to make me feel all these things.
“Are you going to be nice to me?” I asked.
“Very.”
“No more getting angry and sending me away? No more hating me for something I don’t even remember?”
“I’ll be on my best behavior.”
The deep timbre in his voice had some kind of power over me.
“What is it that we are doing?” I asked him.
“You’re gonna be my nurse.”
Somehow, I didn’t feel like that was the case, but I didn’t care. My vagina was currently in control right now. “Okay.”
“You’ll need to bring your overnight bag. Huck and Levi have to go out of town. Trinity is going to stay elsewhere.”
Overnight? That sounded like a terrible idea.
“Okay,” I whispered.
“Good night, Shiloh,” he said into the phone before the line went dead.
This was insanity.
Uncle Neil said very little as he drove me to Gage’s the next morning. He had frowned at the overnight bag in my hand, but said nothing.
When we pulled through the security gate, he finally broke the silence. “He’s a dangerous man. You understand that, right?”
I nodded. “I do.”
“And you want to do this? You’re sure?”
As if he could save me if I didn’t.
“I want to. He’s not forcing me. He asked, and I agreed.”
Uncle Neil glanced at me. “I can’t protect you from him. Any of them.”
