CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Gabby woke to the sun filtering in through the window of her hospital room. When she opened her eyes, she had no real perception of how long she had been asleep. However, she knew it was early morning because that was the only time the sun’s soft golden rays would directly hit her bed.

As she lay there feeling content, she slowly became aware of the warmth enveloping her and the rhythmic rise and fall of the muscled chest beneath her cheek.

For a moment, confusion clouded her mind. But then the memories from the day before slowly returned, bringing a small smile to her lips.

The fresh scent of Playboy’s cologne and the weight of his arms wrapped around her made her feel content and protected. She found herself snuggling closer to his warm body.

As she closed her eyes, a big yawn slipped out of her, and she felt Playboy’s chest vibrate before she heard a whispered laugh from him.

Tilting her head back to look up at him, she met his honey-colored eyes.

“Sleep well?” He asked, a small, sexy smile playing on his lips.

She smiled back. Damn. She would love to kiss those lips, but before that happened, she needed to brush her teeth. That meant she would have to get up, and she didn’t want to do that because she was content and had no intention of moving.

Instead, she hummed, agreeing with him, and closed her eyes, willing herself to fall back asleep in the safety of her man’s arms.

Later that afternoon, Playboy sat in the chair beside Gabby’s bed, watching her sleep. He couldn’t stop smiling as he listened to her soft snores. She was out cold. It was obvious she was catching up on her sleep, having had barely any since she had woken up from her coma.

The sound of the door handle being twisted drew his attention toward the doorway. When Wendy’s head popped in, he couldn’t hold back his smile, seeing her shocked expression when she saw her daughter asleep.

Her eyes traveled from Gabby to him.

“Can I come in?” She whispered, knowing that Gabby was asleep.

He smiled softly. “Of course.”

She walked over to the bed and stared down at her daughter. “How in the world did you get her to sleep?”

“It was all her doing,” he told her.

She gave him a look like she didn’t believe him, and he laughed quietly. “I swear. She and I talked last night. And I’ll just say that I think she’ll be okay.”

Wendy smiled and took a seat in the empty chair beside Playboy.

“You know she talks about you all the time.”

Playboy swung his head in Wendy’s direction, his one eyebrow arched.

“She does?”

She smirked at him as she nodded. “She does. And I can see why now. You care for her very much.”

“I do.”

“And considering you didn’t run for the hills after what happened to her and have been by her side the whole time, I have to say that my respect for you has grown immensely. You’re a good man, Tanner.
