Jack’s lips brush mine so softly it takes my breath away. Once he pulls back, it’s all I can do to maintain his heated gaze. Unbidden, his eyes flick downward to hover over my lips and lower still to the curve of my breasts.

I clear my throat and pull the blanket up to cover myself, suddenly feeling self-conscious. I really don’t want him to see the way my nipples hardened at his kiss.

“Sorry,” he says softly. “I’ve been waiting for that kiss since I met you.”

I smile at him tentatively. “No need to apologize. I’ve been wanting to kiss you too.”

His hands cup my face then, wipe a stray lock of hair from my eyes. “I’m just so glad you’re back.”

I smile. “Me too.”

“I did have some help caring for you though. Katie came by.”

“Katie? How? Why?” I hadn’t even thought about my sister. She would be worried if she didn’t hear from me. I usually send her a text every night checking in. But she lost her phone at the club. So how…

“I talked to her. Found her in your phone, but it kept going to voicemail so I visited her dorm. I figured it was best for her to know what’s going on.”

I nod. That probably was for the best. Still though… I wonder what she thinks about Jack. And about me staying with him like this. I’ve never been one to depend so much on anyone, especially a man.

Another thought occurs to me too. What if Jack falls for her? The idea of this man seeing my gorgeous sister makes me insecure and I hate that I feel that way.

“Thanks for letting her know. So she nursed me, too?”

He nods. “Yep. She gave you a sponge bath a couple of times.” Suddenly he looks guilty. “I have to warn you and apologize for what I’m about to tell you next,” he says slowly. My heart skips a beat. Oh no. A sense of dread fills me. Here it comes. This is where he tells me the two of them fell in love while looking after me.

“Go ahead,” I say, stealing myself for the pain I know is coming.

Jack laces his fingers with mine. “I gave her a stern talking to. I was probably harsher than I should have been actually. She may or may not have cried.”

Wait… what? That’s what he wanted to tell me? “You mean…” The words come out before I can stop them. “You’re not in love with her?”

His brow furrows. “What are you talking about? I spent the last few days at your bedside and you think I’m in love with your sister? Hell no. If there’s anyone I love it’s you. I mean…” Jack sighs and runs a hand through his hair. “I know it’s early and we hardly know each other, but… I can’t help it. The point is, I’m into you and only you.” I realize I dropped the sheet again when his eyes begin to roam over my body. “You are exactly my type, Violet.
