‘Well, look who the cat dragged in,’ she said, wincing a little as she turned.
‘Don’t go getting yourself in a mess on my account,’ I said, sitting heavily on a sofa across from her. Cora wrapped her arm around mine and balanced her crutch against the seat, seemingly not ready to be more than an inch away from my side. Not that I minded.
‘Thanks for letting us stay,’ Maeve said.
‘This will always be all of our home. You don’t need to thank me.’
Cam arrived, carrying a ridiculously large teapot and a load of cups.
‘Looking good,’ he said as he poured me a steaming cup of tea. His face lit up when he handed a cup to Maeve.
‘Grace, can you go find your brother? I need you guys to go pick up some bits from the apartment for Maeve, if that’s alright?’
‘Should I drive your car?’ Grace asked. Maeve grinned when Cam’s face turned ashen.
‘No. I’ll get you a driver.’
‘You have to let me practise.’
‘Not in my car, I don’t. I’ll get you a run around that won’t make me cry every time you prang it.’
Being surrounded by family knitted my soul back together. I hadn’t realised how much I’d isolated myself from them as we’d grown up.
‘How are you feeling?’ I asked Maeve after Grace exited the room.
‘Like a psycho tore a hole in my stomach. I’ll not be wearing a bikini again anytime soon.’
Cam leaned against her chair and stroked a hand over her shoulder. ‘A battle scar will make you even hotter. I should know.’
She laughed as he winked at her.
‘Has Alfie shown up yet?’ I asked.
Cam shook his head. ‘Not a squeak. He’s not at Rosenhall, and there are no signs that Edwards took him. Just disappeared like that.’ Cam clicked his fingers and shrugged.
‘He’s probably found himself a new interest. He’ll be back when they kick him out, I’m sure.’
Cora’s fingers drifted down my arm as she let out a yawn.
‘Fancy a nap?’ I asked. She rewarded me with a sweet smile.
‘I’ve not slept very well without you.’
‘You’ll never have to again.’
Cora crawled into the bed in nothing but her collar, her cast, and a pair of panties. My blood rushed between my legs at the sight of her.
Pressing herself against my side, her thigh grazed my stiffening cock.
‘You are absolutely not cleared for those activities,’ she giggled as her fingers drifted over my boxer shorts.’
‘If you keep skimming it, I’ll have no choice in the matter.’
Cora’s eyes sparkled in the afternoon light as she gazed up at me from where her head lay on my shoulder.
‘I need to talk to you about something,’ I said.
‘What is it?’ She frowned.
