She’d only just gotten showered and dressed, though. She wasn’t ready to get back into pajamas and bed.
“Let’s get you into these. Gerald will bring up a hot lemon drink and then you can nap until lunchtime. Have some soup, watch some television, then have another nap until dinnertime. More food and then sleep.”
Wow, he had it all mapped out, huh?
“I really don’t need that much sleep. I slept most of yesterday. And I just got dressed. Why don’t you show me around the house?”
“You’re sick, Jilly,” he said firmly. “What you need to do is rest and to drink fluids.”
She sighed. She guessed he was right. However, she hoped he didn’t think he would win every argument.
“Fine, I’ll stay in bed. But no pajamas.”
“All right. But I was only thinking of your comfort. I understand that bras can be annoying.”
Shoot. He wasn’t wrong.
“Do you intend to win every argument?” she grumbled.
“I wasn’t aware we were arguing, sweet girl. This was just a discussion.” He leaned in and kissed her forehead. Butsomething was going on with him, as though he was distracted or thinking about something else.
“While you get into your pajamas, I’m going to go and speak to Gerald about your care. I’ll be back soon.”
Jilly stared after him with a frown.
What was going on?
Getting up, she moved to the bathroom, needing to pee. After using the toilet, she changed her clothes before taking a look around.
The bathroom had white marble tiles on the floor, then subway tiles that came up part way up the wall. It had a huge walk-in shower and a claw foot bath.
God, she’d always been a sucker for a claw foot bath.
Walking back into the empty room, she stood there and looked around.
You don’t belong.
This isn’t your home.
Don’t break anything.
She pushed those thoughts out of her head. This is what she wanted. To be here with Regent.
In his bedroom.
She was going to sleep with Regent Malone.
Oh God.
Why had she only just realized that? Would he want to do . . . things?
Suddenly, she was seeing the bed with whole new eyes. She could see him pinning her down while he fucked her nice and slow.
Easy, girl.
She turned to look at the male bust. “You’d have to close your eyes, Boris. I mean, the things you might see . . .”
Delight filled her at the thought.
