“No. It will be all right.”
He moved his hands over her breasts and stomach. Then he had her sit forward so he could do her back.
Finally, he moved down to her legs. “Part your legs, baby.”
With a whimper she did as directed. But he kept his movements soft and brief as he cleaned between her legs. Finally, he turned the water off and grabbed the towel.
“I don’t want to put those panties back on,” she grumbled after he’d dried her off.
“Then don’t.”
“I can’t get back into bed without panties on.”
He huffed out a laugh as he carried her back to the bed. He drew the curtain around the bed for privacy in case someone came in before stripping off the towel.
Then he put his T-shirt on over her head. By this time, she was completely exhausted. He tucked her into bed, even fluffing her pillows up for her.
“Tanner, I need panties.”
“You’re fine, baby. No one will know. I can get one of my brothers to stop at your place, though, and pick up a bag for you.”
“I can’t ask them to do that, they’ll be busy. Especially as I’m sure I will be going home tomorrow.” She yawned. Lord, she was so tired.
He snorted. “Busy. Good one. They’re not busy. Lazy slackers. You’ll need stuff to wear tomorrow. And in case you have to stay longer.”
No way was she staying in the hospital any longer. There was too much she had to do. Plus, she hated to think of the cost of staying here.
“I can get Raid to pick up a bag of your stuff. But I’ll text Opal and ask her to get everything ready. I don’t want him touching your panties.”
She was sure that Raid had no interest in her panties.
“You have Opal’s number?” she asked with surprise.
He shot her a look. “Baby, you called her from my phone.”
“Oh, right. Sorry, I’m tired,” she said.
“Then go to sleep.”
“I don’t think I can,” she grumbled. Sleep was so hard when your brain just wouldn’t shut up.
“Roll over and face the other way,” he ordered.
Confused, she did as he said. He drew the blanket down to her waist and started massaging her back. The massage was gentle, but it started to relax her.
“That’s it,” he said in a low, soothing voice. “Off to sleep you go, good girl.”
She really didn’t deserve him. But perhaps she could find a way to keep him.

Lilac gasped as a hand was pressed over her mouth.
Opening her eyes, she stared up into Stefan’s face. Horror flooded her.
What was he doing here?
How had he found her?
