Rowan woke up of her own volition, alone, in the on-call room in the basement of the hospital. Dread filled her stomach, and she suddenly felt like crying. She’d spent so much time thinking about how she’d feel if she slept with Galen that she never took the time to think about the consequences of falling for a player. And that’s exactly what Galen was. Of course Galen was gone. Of course she’d fled the minute she got what she wanted—her conquest of the straight girl from Texas who’d somehow managed to leave her safe, secure relationship to explore a treacherous rendezvous with Galen. Just as Rowan began to kick herself for being so incredibly daft, the door to the call room opened quietly.

“I’m sorry. I had to run out for a second.” Galen moved to the bed and crawled in next to her, taking Rowan in her arms again.

“Everything okay?” Rowan tried to hide the fact she’d been at near-meltdown level only seconds earlier. Maybe she’d had Galen wrong after all.

“My mom called. She just wanted to talk.”

Rowan buried her head in Galen’s chest, sinking into her scent that left Rowan turned on all over again. Galen stroked the skin on her upper arm, and Rowan had forgotten completely that she’d ever been mad at Galen for leaving. “Is that normal for her?”

“Not at all, no. Which is why I went down there. She’s fine though. I think this hospital stay is messing with her. She gave me this whole talk about not letting my career become my whole life and not letting love pass me by, or whatever. It was weird.”

“Interesting.” Rowan wondered for a moment if this talk had anything to do with her presence in Galen’s mother’s hospital room the other morning. She wished that were true, hoping Galen would be so wrapped up in her that her entire world would be thrown off kilter. Because God knew Rowan’s was.

“So, how are you feeling?”

“What do you mean?”

“You know. About last night?”

Rowan rolled on top of Galen, keeping her lips just out of reach. “If this is your sad way of fishing for compliments about your crazy skills in bed, it’s not happening. And, even more so, if this is the ‘are you freaking out about your sexuality’ talk, then spare me that too. No part of me is freaking out. Everything about last night was amazing.”

“Is that right?” Galen grinned and kissed her, the warmth and the need Rowan had felt the night before seeping back in.

“Yes.” Rowan pulled away from the kiss. “And no way in hell am I stroking that finely tuned ego of yours anymore by telling you what a savage you are between the sheets.”

“You don’t need to. Your little grunts and groans said it all.”

“Ugh.” Rowan shoved her palms against Galen’s chest and sat up. “You’re a pig. Did you know that?”

“You know underneath all of this gusto is just an insecure little kid waiting to get out, right?”

A grave silence fell between them, until Rowan broke it with a string of furious laughter.
