Ow. Ow. Ow. Holy mother of balls, why am I so sore?

My neck, my stomach, my head all feel like someone put a knife in it. I rub my eyes and try to pry them open. I feel so tired, making this seemingly easy moment near impossible.

Once I am finally able to keep my eyes open, I look around at my surroundings. A hospital room, filled with the unwelcoming scent of disinfectant. Ah, yes, all of the horrendous events of last night are coming back. Alex came back for me, and I tried to get away. Trent and Mason and Anna showed up and saved my life.

Panic rises in my stomach as I wonder if Alex got out alive and will be coming through that door any second to finish the job.

I feel something against my hand and try to sit up further to see it, but pain sears through my abdomen. I tilt my head down instead and see the top of Trent’s dirty-blond hair lying next to my hand. He stirs slightly and begins to sit up. His eyes find mine, and relief washes over his features.

“Sunshine, I am so fucking happy to see those beautiful eyes open.”

I look back at his mesmerizing green eyes with dark lashes. And that scruff on his chin that is damn near irresistible. He runs a hand through his short hair and stretches. Moving his neck side to side. I am sure a man of his stature was pretty cramped up in a recliner that size.

He runs his thumb over my hand. “I’m so sorry that I dropped you off. I should have never—”

I put my finger up to interrupt him. I want to tell him it wasn’t his fault, but my throat is so dry and hoarse that all I can muster to say is, “Water?”

He nods and runs over to a tray, and in a flash, he is back with a cup and straw. I take it gratefully and finish it all.

“None of this is your fault, Trent. He would have found me eventually anyway. Besides, I am just so glad that it happened during a time when Anna wasn’t there.” Tears cloud my vision, and I blink them away as I look at him. “Or you. I would have never forgiven myself if he …” I choke out, unable to stop the tears. The thought of Alex hurting Anna or Trent or even Mason puts me over the edge.

“Shh …” He carefully climbs up into the side of my bed and cradles me. “It’s okay, baby. It’s all over now. You never have to worry again.”

I pause at his words and look up at him. “Is he …”

He nods. “Yeah, baby, he’s dead. The officer had to shoot him because he wasn’t giving his gun up without a fight. Mason was trying to wrestle it away from him, but he could have shot you again or Mason or me. He left the officer no choice.”

I can tell he feels bad, explaining this to me.
