In the kitchen, I found a yogurt container and a spoon on the floor and tapped the counter. “Stay here while I finish the rest of the rooms.”
After clearing the upstairs, I called Constance.
“She hasn’t shown up here,” Constance answered. “And nobody’s asked about her either.”
“I found her,” I announced. “At her house. I’ve got her secured. Why don’t you hang out there to see if the perp comes back looking for her?”
“Sure thing. I just love hospital vending machine food. How is she?”
“Stubborn, in denial about the threat.” I didn’t addhot as fuck.
I returned to the kitchen and pointed at the yogurt mess she hadn’t cleaned up. “What happened?”
Serena scooped up the items and grabbed a paper towel. “Sorry. You scared the shit out of me. I thought you were…” Her words trailed off.
I filled the silence. “I know how stressful it can be to fear for your life.”
“No. You don’t.”
Stopping, I turned. “I may not understand your particular fear, but trust me, I’ve been shot, mortared, and in situations that would make anyone soil their drawers.”
“Sorry. I just meant… Never mind.” Once again, she held something back. There was a particular fear that likely wouldn’t come out today.
Her side needed to be treated. “Stay right here while I get my med kit from the car.”
Shetsked. “You sure are bossy.”
I ignored the dig and returned quickly with our standard first aid kit, which was as full as a paramedic’s bag.
Her eyes widened. “Are you expecting a war to break out or something?”
“It’s good to be prepared. Now, shirt off.” I tapped the dark granite kitchen island. “Hop up.”
She huffed. “I can take care of this myself.”
Nope, she sure didn’t like orders or relying on anyone.
“It’s my job. Now, shirt off.”
With a sigh, she removed it, revealing a mouthwatering amount of cleavage in a black lace bra. She winced when she placed her hands on the surface to lift herself up, so I grabbed her hips and boosted her, putting my face way too close for comfort to her tantalizing tits. I turned her to the side so I could deal with the wound without having them in my face, but my cock had already noticed. Yes, Serena Benson had grown up to be a very beautiful woman and quite the temptress.
She gasped as I touched her side.
The gash wasn’t deep, but it was long and already starting to redden. Half the bra strap had been sliced through as well.
She eyed me and snorted as her eyes slid lower. “Like what you see?”
Busted.“No. That’s going to be quite the seatbelt bruise.”
She glanced down at the diagonal mark. “Oh.”
“And you should have had this cut cleaned earlier to avoid infection.”
“I didn’t…”
Down, boy.Of course my cock was still reacting to the lusciousness of her tits, but now was not the time to be thinking of that. I backed away and folded my arms. “I also see a woman who is taking headstrong all the way to self-destructive. A woman who won’t listen to good advice.”
It was her turn to fold her arms over her chest. “I am not. I was afraid he’d be at the hospital looking for me.”
