She couldn’t get aroused while she was lying in a hospital filled with probably hundreds of people!
“I haven’t shaved my legs!” she cried.
Really? That’s what she was going to focus on? That’s what she the best thing you could come up with?
She groaned.
Idiot.
His lips twitched. “And that’s your only objection, is it? I’d be happy to help take care of that for you.”
“Tanner Malone!” she said primly. “You are not shaving my legs.”
“Why not?”
“B-because . . . because . . . that’s not . . . it’s not sexy.” She wanted him to see her as beautiful. Gorgeous.
She wanted to be irresistible. Not a burden with hairy legs.
Right. Because you’re so sexy right now, lying in this hospital bed in the clothes you put on to go running in. Hair a mess. Looking pale and gaunt.
And he still seems to want you. Huh.
She had no clue why.
“You don’t think so? You don’t think I’d enjoy giving you whatever you needed, having you depend on me? Because I think that’s sexy as fuck. Plus, you know, I’d have you naked in the shower . . .”
She swallowed heavily. “Yeah, I’m not sure that’s a good idea.”
“Maybe once I get you home,” he said casually as though it was a done deal.
She swallowed heavily. “I can’t go home with you.”
“You can and you will,” he replied as he turned away. “You’re going to need someone to look after you. And I happen to be that someone. As your guardian, it’s my job. But as your man, it’s my privilege.”
“Tanner,” she whispered. He kept saying the sweetest things to her.
Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her. Oh man, she’d missed his touch. It felt like she had this empty well inside her that was slowly filling it up.
Drip by drip.
“Hush. No arguing. When you’re feeling better, you can argue. But today we’re just relaxing and concentrating on you eating and resting. All right?”
“All right.” She was too tired to argue.
“That’s my good girl. Now, I forgot to take my clothes into the shower with me. I’ll go get dressed and be back in a moment.” He grabbed his bag.
Yeah, right.
Left them behind, huh?
As he walked back into the bathroom, he also failed to shut the door properly.
And she totally watched as he dropped the towel to reveal the most perfect butt on the planet.
Sigh.
There was a God.
